yeah, you have to weigh everything, but when talking about the current state of the program and affairs you weigh the recent past more heavily. your most recent conference championship was 18 YEARS AGO. 18 years ago i was in elementary school, i don't define myself today about what i did when i was legitimately afraid of cooties. your last division championship was 10 years ago, when i was still playing competitive soccer and was pretty good; by your logic i should be sending Jurgen Klinnsman a strongly worded email for not even considering me for the US team.

in the entire history of college football and the SEC, yes Tennessee is one of the top programs. but over the last 10-15 years that simply isn't true by any measure

woops missed that part...i understand the masters in 5 years aspect, i just missed missed him specifically mentioning education.

taking into consideration his size (and possible need to add muscle like most freshmen) i figured the redshirt would possibly be in order. i guess my overall point is that the 5 year statement could have football reasons just as much as academic

This kid reminds me of my daughter's boyfriend, Reggie Whatley (RB, MTSU). He graduated from MTSU in 2015 and is now on the roster for the Calgary Stampeders (preseason camp start today). Smallish runner, very strong, but lightning quick. Some video below:

Kick return at 00:24 and runs from 2:10 to 3:20 are Kalil prophetic.

I brought that up a while back when the 2016 class was finalized, that none of the receivers coming in were short slot guys and that I was surprised based on his track record and playing style. The consensus response was that he only had the small guys at Memphis and TCU because of talent availability. I don't think that's true, I wouldn't be surprised to see us take 3 sub 6' guys this class.

I think we will see a lot of "slot" WRs of all different sizes as it looks like most of Fuente's route tree is based off of quick moves and finding open spaces rather than winning physical matchups. A little bit of a chicken and egg situation as I am not sure if this is Fuente's ideal or his ideal based on talent available at Memphis.

Actually its even simpler to improve the brand. You don't need to win games. You can't necessarily control that. You can, however, give money. That correlates to brand increase really well.

Speaking of "the North remembers".... part of the tagline for next week's episode (not this week) is "The North is reminded"...

sooooo.... take from that what you will

And there's also this which is probably the most damning evidence for the Hound's return when you consider Jon is alive again and the Hound's resurrection is really the only one with wheels.

Interesting theory, but it doesn't necessarily fit Martin's style. Cersei dying is going to be a major moment, and he'll want to make it impactful. A death sentence is far too straightforward. I'd lay pretty good odds on the Jaime theory.

Ian McShane (who all indications are was cast as Elder Brother) also said in an interview that he would be bringing a popular character "back from the dead."

Interesting. I guess I had just always hoped that Jamie would be the one from that prophecy. That he'd finally wake up and see how terrible she is.

I've said plenty of times Tennessee sucked for at decade, and yea other schools have had some
Good runs in that time. But when you're looking at the status of a program as a whole then it's dumb to pick 2-3 years and say that's who they are. Everything is cyclical. Tennessee had a run in the 90s and has stunk since. Y'all had a good 10-15 year run and recently faded off. Even Bama, while it seems like they've been winning forever, was terrible for a decade until 2007. What makes a program who they are, and gives them an identity, is the body of work as a whole.
