For those that made the trip I hope you had a great time.  I do expect the field to be in better shape if you visit again.  That was an embarrassment.  I thought the NT defense played a very good game and your team was well prepared to defend what we wanted to do offensively.  You have great fans on this site and I have enjoyed the interaction.  I will be following the coaching search and wish you luck in landing someone willing and able to take this team to the next level.  Your fans and alumni deserve it.  I am sure you have already read this but I will post a link.

Did you guys hire a plane to fly a "Fire Rick Villarreal" banner around the tailgate pregame? 

I mean, we had a deal, after all.

Don't make me look like Rick Villarreal...

I don't think you need our help with that.  Will he survive long enough to select the next coach?

He will be here as long as he wants. We have 17 big donors who love him more than they hate losing.

There is a reason we are who we are.

Does anyone have an inside scoop on why so many Tennessee fans were wearing black? Or were there that many Mean Green fans?

The "Fire RV" movement is making inroads in the greater Knoxville region. 

Question. No info.

Nike and the University have been marketing our Smoky Gray alternate colors.  I am not a huge fan but one game a year we play in the Gray and Orange.  I wish the fans would leave them at home for game day.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
