@randcarlson@RossDellenger Seriously? You have every right to believe the bill doesn't do enough for athletes but to claim it leaves them out altogether is just not true. It includes all sorts of protections for players.
@NutButterheyboy@tljescott@AdamSparks Holy hell friend! Paying $8/mo. to Elon gives you access to longer posts, significantly reduced ads and higher Grok usage. It doesn't buy you followers. You follow 200+ and have 4 followers and you're talking about my 7? I think I'll be okay on this one.
@Libersomethin@RossDellenger Same. All of us should be. More government is almost never the answer. But somebody has to regulate this beast and so far no one has proven able to. Not the NCAA, not the conferences, not individual schools, and certainly not the players and their agents.
One of the strangest habits in modern politics is rejecting a good idea because the wrong party proposed it.
A Democrat can be right about health-care abuses. A Republican can be right about border security. Neither fact obligates you to adopt the rest of that party’s platform.
That is sensiblism.
@VOLatileFan 100%! Tim Banks was aggressive, but predictably so. There wasn't a lot of imagination in his playcalling. You never know where Knowles is going to bring pressure from. I'm loving it.
Wanting to fire Heupel at this point is borderline insanity. However, it's also completely okay to be extremely concerned and to have major doubts about his ability to succeed from here. And those concerns/doubts weren't suddenly born during the Texas loss. For many, they slowly developed over the course of the 2025 season.
It's the gameplan! Yes, the OL was horrible (and, yes, the Texas DL was great). Yes, Faizon had a bad game. Despite all of that, Texas won by a FG. It's Heupel's job to scheme around subpar OL play and a struggling QB if he needs to. Just a couple of successful plays in the passing game could've won the game but we never seemed to adjust and try anything different.
@VolsMuse Agree. Even as we rushed for 300 ypg against Furman, GaTech and Kennesaw St, it was extremely concerning how many times our backs were stopped at or near the line of scrimmage with little room to run. Our line has severe issues.
Of course. Twitter doesn't isn't representative of any part of real life, least of all politics and football. Tennessee has its own share of morons on Twitter, myself included. But I'm still gonna enjoy the salty tears of all the Texas fans who've been up in my timeline like seedticks in a waistband.
@voidxto_otx@ErinVols See, that’s a start! You could’ve left off the final sentence; that wasn’t very original. But the rest of it was original. I like it!
@voidxto_otx@ErinVols What is with you unoriginal trash-talkers? Everyone falls back on one of three lines:
1.) YoU’rE a BoT.
2.) YoU’rE a WoMaN.
3.) YoU’rE a LiBtArD.
Material people, material!
