You still could lose to Georgia and Alabama, and, probably will, and could lose to Arkansas, though, probably not, but are you prematurely claiming that experts are wrong about those games, just because they were wrong about Oklahoma? You can't claim those other games just yet. By the way, even before the season, most projections I saw had Tennessee winning against Oklahoma, anyway.
Thing I Like Most About Josh Hueple . . .

And what is UKs average payday, or Georgia's, Alabama's, Texas, Ohio S?... You act like it is only TN.... The visceral hate for all things Tennessee is unhealthy man. I poke fun at other schools, states, but you take it to another level 😂
I just wonder how sustainable all of this will be. Stadiums competing with big screen tvs, and there’s got to be a price point—even among large, loyal fanbases. Plus if there’s economic downshift, I don’t see how the big schools survive this
I don't think Tennessee fans liked either hire. I guess you don't remember Tubby, or Billy Clyde, and Pope is certainly underwhelming. Don't remember Shula, Dubose, or Franchionne at Alabama? What about the string they've put together at Florida? Remember Mike Archer & Gerry Dinardo, or Curly Hallman at LSU? Have you people no sense whatsoever of the cycle of things? Lord hammercy!
The whole point, Mr. Tennessee Billybob, was about the "cycle" or whatever, and how you often don't really know whether or a hire is going to work out. Your stupid fanbase did also NOT like the Heupel hire, at least not on BillybobVol Nation. I was actually giving this hire credit, as one that appears to have worked.
Quite frankly any semblance of "student/athlete" has long since vanished. Idk where the money is coming from... Corporate sponsorship? Television contracts? Benevolent donations? Skyboxes? Unfortunately the average person is probably going to be priced out.
He surprised us but with that run of awful coaches it’s no wonder. Look at auburn with home run rev freeze. Big name, poor results. I think want thrilled over that hire but I’ve been watching our sick program for years.
Difference has been our AD ….we had 3-4 really bad ones during that run. Danny White has changed our fortunes in the big 3 men’s sports and is working on others.
Did you NOT say you didn't know how any Tennessee fan thought Dooley or Jones was a clever hire? Nobody did. Further a lot of couch potatoes seem to think you hire a Saban or Pitino as you wish. No ... It's a timing thing. Right? Right. UT has a "stupid" fan base, but not other schools? 😂😂😂
Nothing is a gimme in this league….Ive thought all along pig sooey looked like a trap. I’m not sure anyone looks at uga and bama and thinks they’ll win. I’d take a split in a heartbeat there.
…and whether gen z or the future will even care about football.
We’re fortunate with season tickets selling out, but that’ll change in a heartbeat if we start losing big again
Fair enough. There's no doubt Heupel is off to an excellent start. I have no idea about the other sports, but if Tennessee keeps it up, they're not that important, anyway.
I know you guys were digging baseball this year….you had a great team. That’s a fun sport to watch and attend
One thing..I’m guessing NFL fans have GOT to be hitting their price point. Every stadium has done what’s humanly possible to enhance the “experience”, but the corporate suites and box-type seating is where their biggest $$ are coming from.
I don't have a dog in this fight but $34,000 X 85 is $2,890,000, not $28,900,000. Simple math!
You're right, I miscalculated and for that I apologize. But it really changes nothing. If you're paying guys $34K to wear a vest and carry a clipboard you're paying your stars serious $$. Still in the $25M-$30M range with the best team money can buy. NC and Heisman for the QB or bust.
What is UKs payroll? They are paying too. THE UT is doing nothing wrong. They have an army of lawyers in house & outside. Tom Mars represents Spyre Sports (who is actually paying NIL & NOT the University) Football generates $135 million at THE UT, or that was last year. Everybody is doing it. Way better system than whatever Alabama had been doing, or Georgia, or Tony Delk having $80k cash stuffed in trash bags in his hotel after they won the National Championship. Everything is above table. Your school can do it, too. 👍🏼🧡
UK started the whole corporate sponsorship thing, or was out front on that with Kroger Field. Pot meet Kettle. The notion of student/athlete has been absurd for decades. Get real.
Looks like most on UKs roster are undisclosed, but Deone Walker is doing purty good!
Direct your venom to Shadeur Sanders or Arch Manning 🧡🧡🧡
He doesn’t coach scared like ours.
If Stoops could ever grow a pair and not be a 4 year old in the dark scared I think he would be good.
Nothing against OU coach, but the best thing for us would be the SEC schedule to do what it does and the Sooners to start fishing around.
Or for the league to come calling.
Is what it is. Sark, Kif, Heuple, even Drink…offensive football is here and it’s finally taken over even the grittiest, toughest, run, defend, conference. The goat is out and even he was starting to wade into unfamiliar uncomfortable waters with it all. His defensive protege better figure something out because playing titty grabbing in the trenches and looking pedestrian against uk ain’t gonna cut it. You can do that shit against the other old defensive hold out from a by gone era…not these new age cats.
We use to laugh at the finesse offensive conferences…Now we can’t keep up with two former PAC coaches, a B12 QB, nor a Boise state assistant at B12 school!
Football west of the Mississippi….hahaha…maybe we ought to just give it to Hamdan cause all them cats that use to tap dance and pirouette out west and Pacific Northwest are putting on a ballet all up and down this conference.
