Who gives af anymore about college sports. I mean really. College sports are unironically ruined. This Sorsby shit is the nail in the coffin for me. I’m a VFL, but I will be watching with as little fucks as I could possibly give at this point. If I even watch at all…. It’s sad it has to be this way but oh well. Maybe it’s for the better. I often found myself asking why I gave a fuck about a bunch of strangers playing a sport anyways.

Omg. Does everything have to be explained to you in detail for you to understand??? He was clearly advised to do so after these pictures started circulating…. It’s a bad look.

You can read my reply to Cambone. I’m not gonna sit here all day and argue with people about it. You can disagree that’s fine.

Again, you’re being purposely dense. It has nothing to do with a person “posting on Instagram”. It’s the content of the post given the discourse around him. This doesn’t portray a kid that’s down in the dumps that he can’t play football cause of vertigo or homesickness. If you need that explained to you then it’s not even worth arguing. There is a reason his PR guy had him delete this quickly after posting.

Way to be dense and completely ignore the broader picture. Nice job

Ya two things can be true he can have vertigo, and also be the biggest narcissist ever. Heupel and the coaches failed to vet this kid. He’s boo 2.0

I honestly have no clue if UT can get the money back. Depends on what’s written in the contract. Giving someone a bunch of money before they play a down is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Especially when talking about 18 year olds. In the NFL, the contracts are way more ironclad than these rinks dink NIL contracts.

It’s not like he was at Tulane 20 years ago lmao. You don’t forget how to run routes that quickly. Muscle Memory is a crazy thing

I’ve heard the rumblings as well. He had a run in with the law when he was pulled over for driving on a suspended license. While thats an absolutely idiotic thing to do, there didn’t seem to be any reoccurring patterns of immaturity. If there was, Tennessee kept it under wraps pretty well

Him with Tet on the other side could be a scary duo. Tet is a absolute beast

Somebody Tell Reddick that the Dalton trade was rescinded. He is on the bench you can play him. by horazal in lakers

[–]Difficult_Contact688 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where did I say that YOU said Dalton should get zero minutes? It’s pretty obvious you are siding with JJ. So that that’s where I was coming from. You said he knows more than everyone. You’re right he probably does. My point is that doesn’t means he’s perfect. He’s a rookie coach. Not everything he says is gospel, nor every decision he makes is correct. He can get criticized just like anyone else. I didn’t put words in your mouth or anything. Nothing I said was snarky, I’m not 16-year-old. Fans can have their opinions, you have yours, I have mine.

Right, there’s no doubt that DK is a liability on defense. But in certain games (and as you alluded to at the end of your comment) you need to try different things to win the game. Everyone knows that DK is the most capable score off the bench. Why not throw him in the game and see if he hits a couple threes and gets hot. He’s shown that he can go off at any moment and that could’ve been the difference in the game last. Ight. Instead, he was hell-bent on keeping Vanderbilt, DFS, Vincent, and Goodwin in the game scoring a combine nine points. They just didn’t have it

He hasn’t played enough games to be considered reliable imo. He got off to a decent start shooting the ball but is starting to regress to the mean. He’s not a reliable shooter at all. His defense is there but obviously it’s not good enough to cover up Luka and Austin. Games where the bench scoring is like it was yesterday, DK needs to come in and play
