pals coming live from the law library at the University of Tennessee in the stacks. I think I see

the anointed constitutional law right behind you. It is cousin Shane. We asked for Bratton, but

he was down in New Orleans at the parade. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Paul. Good to be on. And I'll tell you,

buddy, I ain't watched so much court TV since OJ was on trial, man. Yeah, I mean, I just

been texting Marsha Clark just to find out what the latest was. And if you got that joke,

you're probably thinking about retirement.

Cousin, Shane, what do we know? I guess we didn't miss the verdict, did we?

No, no, we didn't. But we like to assume that he will be back, right? We always like to be a little

bit more optimistic around here in East Tennessee. But, you know, you talk people that are really close to it. It's almost like a

coin toss at this point. But yeah, we're really hoping that he comes back, but I don't know. The

longest thing gets drug out, the more I feel like he may not. So like I'm in that camp. It

could be either way right now.

They always say in court, and I've been there too many times, short verdict is good for

the defendant. A long verdict means they are thinking about throwing the book. So what,

what impact would Joey Aguilar have on this Tennessee team that without him doesn't have a quarterback?

You may have to come off the bench.

Yeah.

Boy, we hit rock bottom if that happens, Paul.

I feel like what Joey brings to this football team is a high ceiling.

You know, we all want to get back to the college football playoffs here in Knoxville.

And I feel like with Aguilar out there, paired with some of the additions Tennessee's made in

the offseason, especially on that defensive side, that, hey, they could get right back in this mix.
