Also don't forget..We beat Bama.....that alone made so many other things tolerable.

And Florida.

curious to see if we have anyone else hit the portal

 

[volwindy]

What I will say is this. Consider our expectations at the start of this season. We're doing better at this point then we expected. We got a Natty for baseball, and we're not doing too shabby on basketball either. Thanks to portal, and monotizing players we're on a more equal playing field with the schools that cheated in the past. I think UT's future is pretty bright, and we're on a good track with the right coach. I know it all sounds polly-anna, But as bad as this game was i'm finding it hard to be negavol overall this year.

Well said.

I believe that’s still a struggle next season

Probably...I don't want any major coaching changes, but if we could get a O-line specialist coach on staff that'd be swell. In the 90's we were O-line U for teh NFL. We put more O-line uglies into the NFL then anyone else.

@joevol33
I’m so upset by this that I’m going to start watching Vols basketball instead and then Baseball till next season. That’s how upset I am.

Excellent idea!

Offensive line played much worse then nico, i think he needs some improvement, but he is a freshman. I wanna see serious recruiting on the big uglies though.

Sanders is a plus I hope

 

[GBO18]

Just to be clear: Nico wasn’t the only reason we lost tonight; I didn’t suggest benching or giving up on Nico; I agree that the line was weaker in pass protection.

Also: Nico needs to be a difference maker and he’s shown only as a game manager; I did suggest he might benefit from internal competition.

You said to recruit him over haha that implies the coaches could tell him to go elsewhere. Moran.

 

[volwindy]

Rose bowl is getting the classic match up that was probably desired.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Is Nico afraid to do anything or is coach holding him back? That's been a big question this season.

We will find out in September

 

[GBO18]

I take back what I said about Slice. Tin man is the only one in this thread with any sense.

Maybe bad phrasing. Don’t be afraid to bring in a top recruit at QB.

A little of both

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Well said.

Once in a blue moon I say something smurt. I'm having a good week too. Very thankful this holiday. Not taking anything for granted.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Tell Banks to find his own ride home.

This was understood.

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Banks is welcome at my table anytime, and will give him a ride anywhere. I love Tim Banks..he's the best Defensive coach we have had since ...ever maybe. Deffinately since Chavis slipped. He had an awesome year. hating on him for this game is crazy.

Agree.

I already mentioned, but something happened at halftime of the Oklahoma game. I don't know what, but the whole team changed.

Isn't GMAC a 5 star ?

[95 Vol Alum]

[95 Vol Alum]

I don’t follow recruiting.

 

[GordonC]
