Pat Forde hoping that TN is in trouble. He’s a clown.

Details are scarce on what Tennessee is potentially facing in the latest case, including the number of involved sports.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Pat Forde is the biggest loser in sports journalism. Close second is Jeff Goodman. This feels like throwing darts at a board and him hoping something sticks.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

Pat needs to drop the jilted ex-lover shtick with Tennessee. My god, he's a petulant little baby.

 

[BallerVolFan]

Austin Price knows there’s nothing going on with this. Another scavenger hunt and moving goalposts on NIL.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Forde needs clicks and knows that Vol Twitter will give him thousands after publishing this BS.

Sports Illustrated’s entire staff told they are getting laid off

It is a dark day for sports journalism.

Seems like last similar line at home that shocked some people was Ole Miss, Vegas didn’t wanna get burnt by Ole Miss ranking, wonder if this is similar type deal.

I made this comp to a buddy of mine, yesterday. The only difference is that this could be a bit of a trap game with a trip to Lexington upcoming, and USCe's record has more credibility than OM's did when they came in. Carolina has some nice wins under their belt.

Agree with all of this - to add something, USCjr is also coming off their most impressive win this season. They’ve never had a better public or analytical perception than they do right now. Probably why there’s been some sharp movement to the Tennessee side since this opened at -13 last night.

What does Vol Quest say in their “breaking news” article?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Awards are always a bit odd in how they classify players, but is Knecht not considered a guard? Is he a forward? His ESPN profile has him listed as a guard and he plays the 3 for us. Is this list reserved exclusively for a 2?

Probably all the NCAA BS.

Have to think that even if this is true (which I doubt) we are good on the basketball side of things right? I mean i could be wrong but I highly doubt we have violated NIL rules in basketball

There's a Julius Erving SF award. I'm sure he's on that list.

Vols 13.5 point favorites. I did as I always do and threw a few bucks on them to cover, let’s see how this goes

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Donde is an absolute queen. It’s incredible what leadership like hers and Danny White have done for TN.

Absolutely. I was telling my wife just a few weeks ago while reading the torchbearer how happy I was Donde was leading my university. She only enhanced that more today

[cncchris33]

Donde Esta throwing down the gauntlet! Days of spineless leadership are over, and it helps that she seems to genuinely believe the NCAA's case is flimsy, at best.

Seems like throwing mud at Tennessee is being done to hide the ACTIVE investigation going on with Michigan.

Noticed that myself. Hiding in plain sight.

I took USCe and the points figuring on a close game. Didn't want it quite this close.

Dalton missing some FT’s tonight. C’mon man!

Rally starts here, guys!
