Wait...Turner & Bowden both could have returned, they each chose to enter the draft though.

No, unfortunately, they could not have returned. Basketball is a winter sport and there was no extended eligibility offered for the 2019-20 winter season.

Ahhh...that makes more sense then. Guess Baseball/Softball would be our only big time spring sports then.

Nope, I said it hadn't been determined how it was going to be implemented just yet. You like to crap on folks, especially me, so I'm going to make it a point from now on to call you out on every piece of crap take that spews from your keyboard.

That will make for great fun - blue font if you were wondering

I think it's odd that we haven't heard any details with Keyontae Johnson. I hope he's ok and I'd like to know what happened.

This was my post you commented on...

Just aren’t going to count returning seniors towards limit, not blanket extra scholarships

Please tell me how that part is up in the air?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Bottom line is that it will cost schools millions of dollars if the NCAA allows additional scholarships and revenues are shrinking significantly. And each school will want to do what the other schools are doing or else they be at a competitive disadvantage.

Bottom line though is that they aren’t all doing the same thing, there’s already precedent for this.

Was just speaking with my coworker about this. Hard to think their game doesn't end differently if he doesn't go down like that. As much as I hate Florida, I do like to see SEC teams get these good, early OOC wins to help our SOS down the line.

 

[BruinVol]

As I have said many times the ncaa pooped the bed by giving any of these Athletes their years back even last spring.

bto is correct as the ncaa has already set the precedent. Schools can pay the extra scholarship $ if they choose and some have and some haven’t.

Tenn will pay the extra $ you can bet your rear on that

We’ve climbed to #10 in the latest poll

Keyontae Johnson awake, breathing on his own, and talking now after being put in a medically induced coma yesterday. Thank goodness.

Prayed for him yesterday, glad to hear he’s doing better than yesterday

I agree it's funny, but it isn't true.

technically it’s not, but the guys who do have more wins weren’t really contributors. Lol

So the game on Friday versus TN Tech appears to again be streaming only on the SEC Network plus.

Over/under on how many confused Drive-by posters post about not finding the game on the SEC Network or the SECNW Alternate channel?

I saw several people on Facebook talking about the App St game being on SEC Netwotk and they said something along the lines of "Great! I can actually watch this game!" I'm sitting there thinking if you can watch the App St game, you could have watched the first two as well. Some people just need their hands held and don't understand how the internet and streaming work.

 

[walkenvol]

My folks still don’t text, email, or surf the net and they’ve lived a very successful life and I’m sure know things that you don’t know how to do.

7.5 O/U (bets are now live!)

I bet they didn’t get to watch our first two games, either.

They came to my place and watched it

Boom

To the guy on Vol Calls last night who called in to Coach Barnes and finally stammered out the question "Do you think you're going to start John Fulkerson next game?" Bravo. Way to go for the pressing information.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lol....I just can't take the FF anymore.

Look I get upsets happen and all, but to watch people take the Vandy win and then argue that we definitely ARE going to beat TAMU.....I just can't. I know the people doing are just the typical "saying it in case it happens so I can say I called it", but a few are taking it way too far. Things like "Now that we have a QB"....I'm sorry, did I miss where Bailey has shown he's the next Peyton Manning and alone can overcome every bad area on this team? Bailey is better than JG.....a very low bar to clear.

No, unfortunately, they could not have returned. Basketball is a winter sport and there was no extended eligibility offered for the 2019-20 winter season.

Bowden losing playing time would have been awkward though. Not sure about Lamonte, for all the good guard play we have, we are not great shooting and don't have a classic PG.
