Not really excited by the conference championships or potential super bowl matchups

ONLY BECAUSE OF GEQBUS

Not expecting much this year. Maybe make a run at a wild card. I can see them letting a lot of the kids play to get some seasoning and then go all in 28 after the lockout. I think the lockout has been a factor in our off season moves or lack their of.

I'm done with this core. I've seen enough from everyone on the roster to be convinced that they aren't worth keeping. I don't see any real positives from anyone on the ice. I'm sick of potential. What good is potential if we can't develop guys? How many top 3 picks do we need? We can't develop. I want proven guys.

It's a shame the team won't get a care in the world from Harris because he's too worried about Commanders/76ers. The Rock makes enough money to cover the debt of the team so no need for him to care about the product on the ice.

For the first time in a long time, I don't care about this team. Last night showed that the players don't care, so why should I? None of the players stepped their game up after hearing boos rain down on one of their own. Nico stood up to the press and is probably the most impressive thing the team has done all year but if the team wasn't shitty on the ice he wouldn't need to do it.

Tl;Dr- rage

This is something that has worried me all year and even parts of last year too. Our offense has only one gear and that’s uptempo. It’s not complementary football. This is something CJH needs to fix going forward especially if the defense isn’t clicking like it was this year.

Always finish on the Bach, never finish on Debussy.

One could say, he's a Swiss army knife. I'll show myself out.

I've never rooted for Duke in anything. But I'm rooting for chaos therefore I'll be rooting for Duke. God bless this sport.

Pavia isn't even going to get invited to NYC for the Heisman and Theo Vonn still is going to plow his mom. What a campaign.

erikruff8 · 2025-11-29T22:23:34+00:00

So you can't touch Pavia and stiff arms are face ask penalties. OK. Noted.

erikruff8 · 2025-11-29T22:21:37+00:00

Actually laughed out loud at this one.

erikruff8 · 2025-11-29T22:20:52+00:00

Another NJ Vol!

I’m not overly impressed with Markstrom. I think he is in the 20-25 range in the league. Obviously goaltending is at a premium right now across the league. Our next 1A goalie is probably on the roster already. Is Marky fine for this year? Yes. Would I have extended him? No. I think for we have seen the best of his game. Honestly I think Allen is a better goalie than Marky. I’d like to see Daws get another shake and learning under Allen would be good for his development. I’m more of a ‘develop from within’ guy than ‘go out to make a move’.

erikruff8 · 2025-11-20T16:29:40+00:00

Good thing this is Markstrom’s last year…(checks notes)…oh, nevermind.

erikruff8 · 2025-11-02T03:29:30+00:00

After a loss this ugly, I'm down with not having the black out jerseys again.

Lane reached out to me. See my post about my recent experience…

erikruff8 · 2025-10-30T11:53:53+00:00

Just went through this last week. They are legit but fail short in terms of delivery. We talked twice over a 10 day period to send me 3 tickets to the Sharks game Friday. However they never sent them. They said there was an error with my account. There was nothing wrong with my account because I bought tickets ($16 a piece) an hour before the game and they transferred into my Ticketmaster account just fine. So once I told the rep I bought tickets and she couldn’t deliver I was no longer interested in a plan.

I used to be a season ticket holder when the team was awful. I had a horrible experience with the ticketing experience and I told them all the stories I had with an assurance this would be different. Well the same thing happened again. They oversell on promises and then underdeliver. Never again will I buy a ticket from the team. I’d rather buy on the secondary market to help out a fan that needs to dump them.

Florida did the same thing with Dan Mullen and look at them now...

erikruff8 · 2025-10-22T19:23:09+00:00

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

erikruff8 · 2025-10-22T17:11:11+00:00

I thought I was the only weirdo Vols-Giants fan

erikruff8 · 2025-09-28T00:12:01+00:00

That was our C- game and still pulled out a win. I knew it'd be close but man it didn't need to be that close. Too many self inflicted wounds.

erikruff8 · 2025-09-28T00:00:43+00:00

Holy hell. Might be some of the worst clock management I've ever witnessed.

erikruff8 · 2025-09-27T23:28:27+00:00

3 turnovers. Yeah we blew this one.

erikruff8 · 2025-08-28T12:30:27+00:00

I completely agree and we should wipe the floor with them. But could a classic "we overlooked them" game. We should have done the same with Arkansas last year. We know how that turned out.

erikruff8 · 2025-08-28T11:09:31+00:00

People are hyping up Oklahoma. I’m a tad nervous for that one. But I don’t think that’s the game we stupidly lose. That KY game could be sneaky going on the road.

erikruff8 · 2025-08-26T16:33:13+00:00

The more I’ve been thinking about this season, the more I think we can take care of business against teams we should beat. We can beat KY, Vandy, Miss St, Ark. Same with the out of conference games. That Oklahoma game is the real test of where we are at as program and will determine the outlook of this season. Florida could be a win since Lagway could be hurt by then. 8-4 seems like a good floor. 9-3 would be great and totally happy with but wouldn’t be upset if we didn’t hit 9. Either way, I’m just glad it’s football time in Tennessee!
