You Just Don't Quarrel With The Volunteers Men

Always said the UT should lead and not follow.

I think the technical term for this is "FAFO"

Now I gotta break out the Urban Dictionary.

Tennesseans have a distinguished history of charging into fight the mess that others created.

Absolutely !

HOLD OUR BEERS !!!!!

It offers a nice recruiting angle too. While all the other schools stood back, UT stepped forward to protect not only the best interests of our players but all players across the country. "Who can you rely on to watch your back, young man?"

“…it will always be Tennessee that ushered in the biggest change the sport has ever seen. ”

Love it!

That is why we are known as the "VOLUNTEER" state! Go VOLS!

Just forwarded the article to my wimpy friends at wimpy Clemson with their wimpy coach.

If this isn’t an ESPN 30 for 30 one day, I’ll be shocked.

Funk and Wagnalls was cheaper.
And more fun to say.

Thank you Dr. Plowman! From the article.

"
Regardless of how the sport looks in the coming years, it will always be Tennessee that's remembered for being the reason that players can legally get paid to play for a program.

And you can bet that the section of college football fans that don't want to see players get paid (those folks believe in the myth of amateurism!), will blame Tennessee for "ruining the sport" for years to come.

Those in favor of players getting what they earn on a weekly basis for an industry that's bringing in money like they're "speedboat racers" in Miami in the mid 1980s will view Tennessee's leadership as heroes. Their fiery response is what expedited this change that's been looming over the sport for years."

Have you found it yet is the question

Same as... ‘Cash Me Outside’ Girl Tells Dr. Phil: ‘You Were Nothing Before I Came on This Show’

Hey Buddy. Have you noticed Ed is a little different than the other children? He's just like you, but he might do and think things a little slower than you.

I think the politically correct phrase is "Test that assumption at your earliest convenience"...

Just forwarded the article to my wimpy friends at wimpy Clemson with their wimpy coach.

Clemson isn't the wimpy school on this issue.
Miami, Florida, and FSU are. They all buckled on NIL. What kind of wimp additives are in the water fien there?

Dabo doesn't like the portal, but Clemson actually has at least two decent NIL collectives.

In less than two months, Clemson has gone from solely being a spectator to having multiple players involved in the name, image and likeness game. The opportunities for the Tigers’ student-athletes …

Exactly.
It's how we got our nickname--"Tennessee Volunteers" isn't just a stupid clown nicky like Crimson Tide, Bulldogs, etc.
IT MEANS SOMETHING.
I will always remember showing up for basic training in 1980, the very first night, the DI's found out I was from TN (me & several others actually)
"Where you from boy? TN? Well hell, you just volunteered--"
From then on, it was "WEBB, get up here, you just volunteered--" all thru basic, even into Infantry & Airborne schools.
I just started to step up every time they needed anyone to do anything.
IT MEANS SOMETHING.

Go back in US history, "Volunteers from Tennessee" have always stepped up.
1812.
The Alamo & Texas war for Independence.
Keep going, you'll find that TN Volunteers maybe not more than any, but damn sure more than most.

I'm proud of that nickname. We've earned it.
