Our QB gets mocked by a certain poster @TBrown

Their QB mocks himself

 

[raw dog]

I just hope he can keep it up. Still unsure

you should be!

that arm is on borrowed time and y’all know that

 

[GAVol]

Kind of like about 50 other elite level starters that rely on velocity or high spin.

They all are

Luckily that borrowed time is covering Striders downtime or we’d be staring down the nationals tailpipes

If Sale hadn’t been extended at the time, how much would that cost now? More than we’d pay.

 

[TBrown]

I’m happy with Sale!

lol y’all really can’t see the nuance in this?

he is 35 and this will hopefully be his first 30 start season in damn near a decade

Approx extension cost ATM?

 

[TBrown]

Been dunkin on AA for a minute but this is a grand slam

Neyland Stadium Preserved by Pilot.

Ok

Gonna be really gross when they put on the front in a couple years

At least they’re going to be dumping huge money into the program and NIL. Wish they hadn’t touched the field but whatever

Have you seen the picture? Its really not bad IMO

I did and no I’m sure after the second game I won’t ever notice it or pay attention to it. I get it, it’s sports in 2024. And if it helps makes us better on the field I’m fine with it

 

[zjcvols]

Just fix the outside of TBA Danny!

Thanks . . . None of us have access to Google or watch sports.

Even @TBrown can read the innings and game started stuff on Fangraphs!

Well rested arm!

Also a small price to pay for the first competent AD in 30 years

It's funny how everybody freaks out when a company writes a check and gets their name put on something, but nobody seems to bat an eye when an individual writes a check and gets their name put on something.

I understand both sentiments. It’s not Neyland being renamed. Preserved by Pilot is actually kind of catchy and unique. As long as the General is still the main name, that’s the big thing.

 

[zjcvols]

@Vercingetorix was pretty upset when they renamed TBA, liked to see what the old man thinks of this

It an interesting twist. They get their name on the stadium and also get credit for not taking the old name off. And the alliteration is catchy enough that they could probably even weave "Preserved by Pilot" into a branding strategy.
