Camp is officially in full swing and the team seems hungry. My takeaways are below.
I will be attending the Vandy and Marshall games and my 2nd is due in October, so I will probably be MIA for most of Sept-Oct. Any of y'all are welcome to take up the Pry-srr mantle this season.

Looks like we will no longer be able to use the terminology going forward thanks to the Cocks

I'm going to just throw anything I see in here and I'll definitely breakdown the 11am Pry speech. I hope to get the individual interviews broken down this evening, but feel free to add anything y'all see from media days in the comments.
It's that time of year where we all get together and show how we aren't a complete embarrassment of a conference and we are set for greatness. And what better way than to flex our internal strength....
Lane Stadium comes in at #15, which seems reasonable given the "Enter Sandman" tradition is only 25 years old. I may have put Lane a couple more higher, especially above Clemson and their stupid run down a hill. I like that there were no parameters or criteria put on the 14 ESPN writers who voted, just pure opinion.
For the time being, looks like this only on the West Stands and the lower sections of the East Stands, but I would assume if this is a hit, you'll see them rolled out to the majority of the stadium outside of the Student Sections. Personally, I like them, though I'm not at all sold on them being black, and would much prefer them maroon or orange to actually be our colors. Maybe there's a more permanent solution expected down the line.
If you are rooting for the NCAA to go away, you got your wish. This will 100% bankrupt them and beyond. Players - yes I know you are surprised- are retroactively suing for NIL money. That's right folks, Mike Vick highlights?- pay him his retroactive NIL. The NCAA is done. Over. Not enough money in the world to pay these back fees. This is only the beginning. Yay college sports!!!
Was browsing youtube and got served this gem from 1999 by the algorithm and it hit me: this year will be the 25th anniversary of that season. Crazy to think that its so long ago (yet to be fair I was 8 years old at VT for the annual youth swimmeet that new year and didnt understand why everyone was buying Vick Jerseys since I didn't watch football yet). I dont want to jinx anything by making any projections (however much I'd like to), but it would be really nice to have this season finally get back to the days where we can legitimately win any given week.
