Amazing. Possess a really good one," he stated smiling, prior to heading out the door to his office.It was actually a suggestion of exactly how college competitions reside on in NFL locker spaces, in addition to just how things have transformed in New England with Mayonnaise-- who dipped into Tennessee from 2004 to 2007-- having been successful Bill Belichick after the latter's 24 times as scalp coach.Mayo and No. 3 quarterback Joe Milton III, yet another Tennessee alumnus, had actually made an arrangement along with Brissett, an N.C. Condition alumnus, last week.If the No. 24 NC State Wolfpack trumped the No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday in Charlotte Nc, N.C., Mayo as well as Milton would have to wear a Wolfpack tee shirt before the media.

State.And this was actually the cost he needed to pay.Jerod Mayonnaise gets there in the course of Jacoby Brissett's press conference along with an Educational institution of Tennessee hoodie ... as well as Brissett puts it on as part of a deal along with Tennessee alumni Mayo/Joe Milton after Tennessee trumped NC Condition. pic.twitter.com/n7KyDf4xjnu2014 Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) September 11, 2024.
