Tennessee doesn't seem to be playing anymore.  Do they have their NIL together?  

They just paid $2 mil per year for a QB, so it would appear so. The main danger of Tennessee is if they get Jimmy Haslem to start giving a shit. He works out of the Knoxville office just a few exits down to the stadium. Pilot FlyingJ is an absolute cash machine, and he could probably spend 50 mil per year in NIL without even feeling it.

He is already doing that for Deshaun Watson. My guess is that the Cleveland Browns and their history of being shitty are more important to Mr. Haslam at this point than a few recruits for the vols.

On the flip side, the usual flood of crystal ball picks for another school hasn't happened and he's about 20 mins from announcing.

Yeah the Haslams are all Browns. NFL Ownership is a much more exclusive club than the Spyre Sports Group. 

Texas is still waiting on that big check from Cal McNair.

Texas is still waiting on big checks from *checks notes* pretty much every single one of our alums with a net worth greater than a million.

Now this is concerning.  It means they either don't see the benefit, don't care enough, or have been soured on it somehow.  If it's the 3rd, please tell me Bellmont is not undermining you in what would be the pinnacle act in a long string of bureaucratic self-sabotage.

Nah, fuck that guy. Too many Jordans on this team already. I get confused in my dotage. Does Jordan Speith still play  for us?

Good call. This was the giveaway, Cook in particular, is usually tweeting up a storm when we’re about to get a commit.

Still a little surprised we didn’t see any changes in predictions from any of the sites.

Roach said that the family told Texas last night there was nothing to worry about.

Technically true, since a coach doesn’t worry about other teams’ players

How much cash was in the lock box that the valedictorian pulled the hat out of?  There appeared to be ample room for bags in that thing and the guard had a wry grin on his face.

To be fair the two orange UTs who have sucked for 10+ years can get a little confusing

It's not really any of those things. If I had to pick one, it would be #2. It's definitely not #3.
