  1. Could be that Wiltfong is just backing up his 247 team on Gipson.
  2. Florida should be penciled in to beat Tennessee every year until Tennessee starts a modest streak in this series. Since Meyer took over this one has been almost automatic even when Tennessee has the better team. Maybe Heupel changes it, maybe not.
  3. That’s what we need to really get this train rolling. There was an LSU screenshot saying he’s not coming to their pool party, so maybe?
  4. Downside of Tennessee getting Mike Matthews yesterday is that their chief competitor was Clemson, so that might free up Clemson’s budget to up the ante on Gipson.
  5. In some indirectly good news for us, Tennessee has a lot of confidence that 5-star WR Mike Matthews is going to commit to them at 7 pm EST tonight. That should push Ryan Wingo our way some degree.
  6. That Children’s Hospital will just have to wait a few more years.
  7. Guess Gerry was right about the visits to ATM and LSU meaning he is speeding up his timeline (unless the commitment date he announces is signing day).
  8. I knew his Dad was heavily involved but didn’t remember that about him. I just remember that Nolen was unstoppable when properly motivated but that wasn’t often. The Collins/McKinley thing seems more of a “nice kids from good families” thing which speaks well for their future in life, but isn’t what you typically see in dominant defensive linemen.
  9. The desire to be a computer science major at UT is a dead giveaway. Thinking of Walter Nolen? He gives me Albert Haynesworth vibes.
  10. Seems like another data point that McKinley may be Alfred Collins 2.0.
  11. The similarities of Texas and Tennessee since the late 2000’s are eerie. The only difference is the one year of Kiffin. They both had a longtime coach who was a great recruiter, not so great game day coach, who out talented everyone but would lose to a big rival (OU and Florida), then both got over the hump and won a BCS Championship. They both passed their sell by date and were ousted. Skip the Kiffin year. Strong and Dooley had the identical record in their respective three years. Butch Jones and Tom Herman both gave the appearance of a return to prominence before imploding. Really hoping Sark doesn’t mirror Pruitt even though their records for their first two seasons are identical. Sark seems to be handling everything off the field light years better than Pruitt so far. I think you got a good one with Heupel, possibly a great one. He really reminds me of when Spurrier hit the league in 1990.
  12. From what I’ve heard, this was just very low level cash and benefit payments on a widespread scale with incredible sloppiness. The total figure I’ve heard paid out over two years was $60,000 to 16 players and their families, making up 200 separate violations. This is the kind of shit that was done at every place Pruitt worked before Tennessee, those places just had a better infrastructure for keeping it under wraps. It all looks very petty when compared to the new NIL landscape.
  13. What are they talking about here? It sounds like Ketch is saying Davis (Weston?) is flipping to us?
  14. I totally forgot a guilty pleasure of mine - 1982’s Cat People, with Nastassja Kinski at the height of her powers.
  15. I got the sense that we wanted him. This wasn’t an Anthony Hill level of recruiting battle but we definitely wanted him. He is just a safety, so if you’re going to lose a battle, there are worse positions to miss and we have other options.
  16. 1982 was the year for genre classics, I saw almost all of these in the theater: - Blade Runner - The Thing - ET - Poltergeist - Wrath of Khan - Conan the Barbarian - Tron - Rocky 3 - Dark Crystal - Fast Times at Ridgemont High - 48 Hours - Creepshow - Diner - The King of Comedy -First Blood And then a bunch of Oscar bait like Gandhi, Sophie’s Choice, The Verdict, Officer and a Gentlemen and Tootsie
  17. I’ve bought one the last few years because I’m old and enjoy the ritual of buying college football preview magazines in the summer. Having one devoted entirely to my favorite team is a bonus.
  18. Seems like a random time for him to post this. Or does he do it for every school he’s considering?
