Here’s what happened, IMO…
Nico didn’t get a new deal in December.
Nico’s family has been shopping him to other schools.
They asked UT for $4 mil.
UT leaked that to On3 because let’s all face it, he’s not worth $4 mil.
Nico’s dad knows that he needs the fanbase on his side to get this done.
Dad gets on Twitter to bash the media for “lying” knowing it’s easy to hate the media and the fans will get behind him.
Now Nico doesn’t show up to practice vindicating the media.
What am I missing?

SC Upstate played Bama in the NCAA softball tournament.
One of SC Upstate’s players is from North Knoxville and she chose her walk up music as Rocky Top.
Bama had to play Rocky Top in their stadium. 🤣

Here’s the deal.
If UT doesn’t come out ready to play “on the road” in our home state with a chance to play the first ever December game in Neyland Stadium on the line in front of a stadium with 80% Orange, we don’t deserve to make the playoff.
Just win.

And I PROMISE each and every one of you, I will not watch one second of tomorrow night’s game.
I will give my ALL for Tennessee.

Peyton Manning sat in Lucas Oil Stadium biting his nails nervous watching his school compete in a sport he didn’t even play.

It’s as simple as this…
Nico’s team took a calculated risk. The plan was to leverage Tennessee for a hefty raise at the last minute.
They figured Tennessee would cave because we have built an expensive roster around their son. The problem was, their son was the weakest link.
Now they are making a lot less money on a worse team.
Tennessee was good to Nico and he/his team stabbed us in the back.
You can feel sorry for him if you’d like, but I don’t believe he was innocent in this. I don’t wish bad upon him, but I’m certainly not cheering for his success. 🤷♂️

After a day of reflection, here is where I am…
My opinion is that UT is a good football team. We are likely the 5th best football team in the SEC on a neutral field. I would take Ole Miss and Alabama to beat us not in Neyland. We ended up the 3rd best team in the SEC because we had a schedule that allowed us to have the games we needed to win in Neyland Stadium. People can say what they want, after experiencing Ohio Stadium, it is evident that Neyland stadium is worth 10 points for Tennessee. We were seeded correctly at 9. That’s what we deserve. Ohio State is not an 8. They are the best roster in college football and played with their food against Michigan and unfortunately fell to an 8. Tennessee (a good 9 seed) got Ohio State on their home field at night after 3 weeks of them being told they suck and the team having to circle the wagons. It is what it is. Bad draw. But I refuse to believe because we lost that game, we “suck”. Every team in the field would have lost Saturday night the way that team was clicking in all cylinders. It was a 9 seed playing the true 1 seed on the road.
That being said, I’ll take losing December 21st in the College Football Playoff over beating some middle pack Big 10 team Jan 1 in the Outback bowl.
And before the “coping” posts come, I’m not whining. We got the draw we got. We got disemboweled by Ohio State. There’s no denying it, but I believe all the other teams would have Saturday night, too. It will be interesting to see if Ohio State plays with that same fire in the Rose Bowl.

Why is it so far fetched for Ohio State to fall behind Tennessee?
The committee dropped number 3 Georgia 9 spots to number 12 when they lost to number 11 Ole Miss on the road.
Ohio State lost to a 6-5 team at home while scoring 10 points.

Tennessee losing at Arkansas in Supers isn’t what doomed this season.
Tennessee losing 6 straight series to end the year doomed this season.
This team had no business being a 14 seed and having to play Arkansas before Omaha, but it is what it is.
Supers after a Natty isn’t a bad year. It’s pretty good looking at recent history.

The narratives today are cracking me up.
Ole Miss survives by 3 as a 33 point favorite and it’s a “trap game.” No big deal.
