I understand you’re an LSU fan, but please tell me you do have basic reading skills about the 6th grade? Let me give you some facts about your non factual opinion. Judge comments in his letter to the NCAA- judge, however, also stated, “Considering the evidence before the Court, Plaintiffs(TN & VA) are likely to succeed on the merits of their case under the Sherman Antirust Act.” What part of this don’t you understand? The judge put the NCAA on notice that if this case makes it in front of him, they will not win as they are in Violation of the Sherman Act. Issue #2- players unionizing- On Monday, a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board issued a watershed ruling: Dartmouth men's basketball players should be classified as university employees—and they can hold an election to form a union.22 hours ago!! NCAA has had multiple lawsuits against them for years prior to Tennessee’s lawsuit. If the NLRB has said the Dartmouth players are employees, I would expect this to come to a campus near you soon. Issu #3 Anti Trust lawsuits- NCAA currently has 4 lawsuits against them in federal court that has been filed since October alone. That don’t count the ones they already lost prior to the that. The first Anti-Trust lawsuit against the NCAA heads to a jury trial in 2025. That’s when the NCAA is likely to lose its 1st court battle on this matter and it will cost them $4 billion in back pay and damages. See where I’m going with this? TRO- the judge has deemed the TRO wasn’t necessary as the “damages” are just of monetary value. The NCAA can also be held liable and is responsible for any monetary damages that accrue during this time. Meaning if something happens m, then the NCAA will be forced to pay anyways. In this situation a TRO was not necessary and is totally separate from the actual lawsuits that Violates the Sherman Act. I know you wish Tennessee would get hammered, but it’s not gonna happen. If I was you, I would start accepting the fact that Tennessee is gonna come out of this on the other side smelling like roses. When they happens, I expect recruiting to really pick up for Tennessee as recruits will see the loyalty the entire staff from the top down has to the players and they will fight for their rights as humans, and student athletes. So I kindly ask you to F off!!

Best offensive staff my ass!! Washington was held to 1 TD against Arizona state, Washington State held them to 24 points. Wash had the #10 offense in the country in a league that plays no defense. The Pac12 sucks at defense and he should have and the #1 offense in the country with Oenix and Odunze. Kiffin, and Heupel are better offensive play callers this he is. Let’s see him dial up these great offensive plays on a league where teams actually play defense.

CKD has been in FBS 4 years. Fresno State and Washington isn’t the same as coaching in the SEC. He had the #10 offense in a league that don’t play defense. Washington defense was ranked #96 in FBS. Recruiting; CKD has not been a great recruiter, or even a good recruiter. At both Fresno State and Washington he played with recruits that someone else recruited. Hell, half of Washington team was recruited by Chris Peterson. Let’s take a look at his recruiting while 4 years in FBS; 2020- #100 2021- #71 2022- #95 2023- #26 Before CKD @ Washington recruiting. 2020- #16 2021- #30 Washington has had only 2 class outside the top 15 since 2017 prior to CKD taking over. Everyone look at those win totals and don’t want to accept the fact that they come from NAIA. Washington this year, was last years TCU. Won a bunch of by the skin of their teeth. Y’all say great offense, but a 3-9 Arizona state team held Washington to 1 TD for the entire game. Penix and Odunze is the reason why this Washington team wasn’t 8-4 this year. Washington was very lucky to get past Stanford, Arizona State, Washington State, Oregon State, Arizona and Washington. All these games where 1 possession games and they all had the lead against Wahington at some point in the 2nd half. Hell the Stanford game was a 2 point game with less than 2 minutes left. Deboer jumped when his name as hot. If Saban would have retired last year, y’all would have offered Dykes the job at TCU. Now look at TCU this year. CKD made sure he didn’t make the same mistake as Dykes did and don’t jump for the big job. Deboer is 1 8-4 season away from being ran out of town. Expect Bama to go 9-3 this year at least.

That “skinny” dual threat QB weighs over 200lbs. While he doesn’t look fast, he has long strides and his speed is very deceptive. Nico had roughly about a month to prepare for Iowa and take 1st team reps for about 3 weeks or so. Now ge will have an entire off season as the starting QB taking all the full reps. Also he will have all the starters that he didn’t have week 1 next year. Players that he didn’t have that he will week 1; WR-Bru, Thorton, Brazzell, Matthews, Staley, Staes, Mincey, and Campbell. The offense next year will resemble more of 2021 and 2022 than last year. Nico is a better decision maker than Milton and processes things quicker. If you watched the bowl game, you would have noticed we ran different plays and ran more of the play book than we had all year long. We didn’t jsut simply throw screens ever possession to the WR. We also got under center more times in that game than we had last 2 years. That shows me that Heup is comfortable with him at QB already. Not saying he’s winning the Heisman, but I expect our offense to be much improved from whay it was this year.

Did you forget that UT went to the Orange Bowl(NY6) last year and beat Clemson in dominaitng fashion? Maybe you should worry about your poverty program first.

He’s a 6th year senior that’s 25 years old. He’s had plenty enough time.

What’s helped Joe more than anything is losing 2 games and having all the pressure lifted of winning meaningful games. Last year Milton come in after the decision was basically over and no pressure to make playoffs, win the East it SEC and he done great. Starting the season off he was terrible and look lost when a play needed to be made or when the season was on the line. Now we have been essentially eliminated from playoffs and SEC title game and now he’s starting to play good again after the pressure is gone. It is what it is, he not a good QB when there is pressure to perform. Now he’s performing well to make it to a normal bowl game.

He is our best DB, and had been rated a top 5 DB in the country all year by PFF/NFL Scouts. If he plays an entire season like he has last few weeks, he will be a 1st or 2nd rounder after next year.

We will show you November 11th, don’t want to ruin the surprise.

Kentucky sitting in a bad spot this week. Tennessee is coming in pi$$ed off they let a game get away from them they had a chance to win. I would expect them to come out to prove a point and best UK by 3 scores. Also Heupel has never last consecutive games since being at UT. He’s only lost consecutive games 1 time in his career.

Actually he was complaining. The refs reversed a 1st down run where Milton and entire OLine was passed the Line to make. Refs picked the ball up and moved it back 3 yards from where Milton went down and called 4th down. It was Heupel that was raising hell and finally the officials reviewed and seen Milton was indeed 3 yards past the line to gain. I knew then the fix was in and it was only a matter of time. Also bama doesn’t go from the one of the worse teams in FBS in penalties to only committing 1 for 5 yards in 1 game. Prior to the UT game Bama was ranked #101 in FBS and averaging 6.84 penalties per game. But all of sudden Bama doesn’t committ 1 penalty in the first half. Burton should have got 15yds when he kicked out DB with both feet while our DB was trying to get up off the ground. The bad calls didn’t just start in the 2nd half, they was going on the entire game.

But the refs extended 6 drives for bama. Instead of being 4th down and punting, they all of sudden got a first down that ultimately leads to a TD on half those drives. Also there was 2 clear holding calls on TD plays that was missed that resulted in a TD. Refs even made up a call about a Bs fair catch rule that doesn’t even match what the actual NCAA rules says to call back a 25 yard return and place ball on the 3 yard line. The refs turned the game around and Bama rolled with it. The Bama needed help from refs to change the momentum.

Al Wilson, Eric Berry, John Henderson, Albert Haynsworth, and Dale Carter. Do want me to keep going, because I don’t mind.

Greatest line backer in UT history, Al Wilson will be at the game among many other celebrity’s and former players for the entire weekend.

Because we are not Kentucky. 7-5 may be what you wish for in UK, but in Knoxville 7-5 will get a coaches fired after to many years of that.

Are you serious about Joe not playing bad? Joe is indecisive, the game is too fast for him to process and get the team lined up fast enough to run this offense. He calls 2 timeouts coming out of halftime to prevent a delay of game on the 1st series of 2nd half. What did they go over in the locker room for him to take 2 quick timeouts? Then you throw a bad int. He has a guy holding onto him that is almost 400 lbs and as he is falling down he throws it up as high as he can in the middle of the field like a punt and no UT player in the screen; while 6 blue jerseys was around waiting for the ball to come down. Then on 4th and 8 we have to get 9 yards and instead of trying to run for it, or throwing it behind the sticks he dumbs down to the run if s back for a 2 yard gain for turnover on downs. Joes self awareness and game awareness is non existent. It goes beyond just over throws and interceptions. In order for this offense to be effective or requires a QB that can get everyone lined up fast enough and get the play in at the same time and be consistent with the ball placement. Milton has showed he is not capable at running this offense at the speed Heupel wa ta and it’s causing procedural issues on the line and people lining up wrong. After hearing what Bru McCoy had to say yesterday, I am convinced the team is devised in the quarterback. Bru exact words “ I think we started thinking back that we couldn't do it again”. Not having Confidence that you can continuously replicate what you just did or being consistent tells me they know Joe Milton is not it. If they see more consistent passing the ball from Nico than Milton and then yea they gonna be frustrated. Everyone knows what Joe Milton is, he has been UT now 3 years. Before the season I was one of the folks that was a big Milton supporter and the Clemson game done that for me. But now he comes into the season the starting QB and all the pressure and he can’t handle it. When he took over for Hooker last year there was no pressure as UT don’t lost 2 games and we was not going to Atlanta or the playoffs so he was able to play loose and not worry. Not as the starter to begin the season the pressure is on him to preform well, try to make UT a contender for Atlanta and the playoffs. He also has the #1 QB in the 23 class as the #2 and the pressure is too much for him. When he would come in for mop up duty he had to pressure so he played loose and looked good. But now all the pressure is on and he’s folding. When UT needs a play he can’t make it. It will only get worse from here on out and with UTSA up next, this is the perfect time to see what Nico can do in a game situation with the starters.

I think it’s a combination of both. While Virginia is not Clemson of the ACC, I do think they make a bowl game this year. They went 3-7 least year and canceled last 2 games due to football player involved campus shooting. They lost 3 games by a combined 7 points and would have been favored in the last 2 games if they play then. They could have very easily been 8-4 last year if not for some bad breaks. Lose to Miami by 2 points in 4OT’s, lose to ranked UNC by 3, and lose to Syracuse by 2. Tony Elliott will have them improved this year and competing in the ACC with top half of conference.

Are you not aware that Vitello has more wins than anyone in the SEC over the last 3 years? He’s also the only coach that’s averaged 50+ wins over the last 3 years. Omaha 2 of 3, SEC Champs last season. I say our program is well ahead of facility’s. Vitello took over a team that went 7-23 year before he showed up. 6 years later getting new stadium and averaging 50 wins a season. I say that’s pretty good. Now we just need to lay Vitello enough to keep other teams away.

70,500 season ticket sold. That’s more than any NFL stadium capacity but 1. That’s also more than 75% of college stadium capacity. Tons of teams would love 70,500 for a game, much less signle season ticket holders.

Why would we forfeit our 1st 2 games? He didn’t participate in any game this season.

Y’all had the refs help for sure this game. Kentucky sucks, and if UT hit just 70% of there free throws UT wins. But for Kentucky to shoot 35 free throws to 14 free throws for UT is just absurd. Good luck in the NIT mild cats.

Even last year we averaged more than 90K a home game. Over the last 20 years UT was still among the top 10-15 in the country on average attendance when we was at our worse. This year we sold out every home game except Ball State. And even the Ball State game seen us pack 100K in. We even sold out games against UTM. We will continue to our pace the SEC in attendance as long as Heupel is HC.

Hey may be planning to come back. Why waste your time with NIL contract requirements if you planning on going to the NFL in a couple months?

He’s gonna get that before halftime of the Orange Bowl.

UT vs Bama argument UT 2-1 vs Top 15 Bama 0-2 vs Top 15 UT over Bama head to head Common opponents. UT 2-0 vs Vandy and LSU (Both on road) Bama 1-1 vs Vandy and LSU( 1 road game) Strength of Schedule goes to UT. Best wins Bama vs #14 Texas and #25 Miss State UT vs #6 bama and #14 LSU When teams are ranked beside each other like Bama and UT are then the head to head should be deciding factor.

@Dawg Talk, yes he used a slur that white people can’t say but other races can. He was never using it in a ratio undertone and in this case context does matter. He used as the same way as it is used in any rap song you hear it in.

Did you actually hear it? Or did you go off of what CNN told you? He said nothing different than what’s in any rap song.

NIL does not allow coaches or schools to directly pay recruits. Also it’s against NIL to have a pay for play deal also.

This team wasn’t being paid. The teams that was paid drug USC last 3 years. All kinds that recurved cash are gone and been gone since Heupel took over,

Why? We fired him with cause. Meaning he not getting his buyout.
