I rest my case

You may could rest it, if you had one.  

Just because all seniors are invited back doesn't mean JG is willing to come back. I seriously doubt that he does.

Call me silly but I just assumed most of you guys are adults
I just don't understand sitting around getting off by bashing college kids trying to do their best.

I could understand if they were gang bangers or corrupt politicians but college kids that are busting their butts trying to do the right thing?

It just doesn't make sense just because they don't meet some middle aged guys expectstions.

He's is not a kid he's 23 years old born Nov 14, 1997 he's old enough to vote and buy alcohol so using the excuse he's a kid doesn't cut it he's an adult and has been for quite sometime.

When I was his age I had finished my military service started my career in civilian life. I've seen friends a hell of a lot younger called YOUNG MEN who couldn't vote or buy alcohol that got killed or maimed in Vietnam.

So take off the orange colored glasses and join the real world for a change.

I've never bashed JG.  But you have to bash the coach who keeps telling the fans that he's the best chance for UT to win a game.  No, it's the best chance for UT to lose a game.  Harrison Bailey just proved at Auburn that he should have been playing all year.  People can say that Auburn was playing prevent D and that they had their backups in the game all they want, but Bailey stood in the pocket, read the defense and threw on target.  He had so few reps in the previous game mostly handing the ball off that we couldn't even judge him accurately.  Pruitt has been too stubborn with his insistence on playing Guarantano all year.  I said after UT's loss against Kentucky that this year should be utilized by playing Bailey so he's ready for next year and forget the record.  How much further would the Vols be now?  They will still go no better than 3 wins as it is.  In fact, there was a very good chance UT wins the game at Auburn if Pruitt had started Bailey since the Vols won every statistical category but the score and that is on two people:  Guarantano throwing a pick six in the redzone making that a 14 point swing and Cimaglia missing two field goals, one of which was a straight on 37 yarder.  As idiotic as Pruitt has been with his insistence on JG being the better practice player, even he will cut his own throat if he starts JG next game.

The story I read is there was several factors involved. Let me try to list them. He lost a lot of time due to COVID protocols. The receivers lost a lot of time due to the same. In a very limited practice time he was off. Due to numbers and the need to get 2 deep ready as best as they could they decided he was not going to get many if any reps this year along with everyone else not on the two deep chart.  How true? Your guess is as good as mine.

This virus has affected every body different. 

As much as I am down on Pruitt and his staff, I would hate to judge them on this season.

Next year though it won't take long for me to yell for his head, so to speak.

Finally, glad to see you post some again. Don't be a stranger
