It's too early to make a judgment on Butch Jones. But 2 years from tonight we'll know what kind of coach we have and whether he will be the coach from 2016 and beyond.

Been to Columbia, MO twice and it is a fantastic college town. SEC fans will grow to love going to Columbia in the Fall with each passing year. Thing is, it's the furthest north of SEC towns, so in the Fall they are 2-3 weeks ahead of most of the south weather-wise. Shakespeare's is absolutely...

This is a classic new school vs. old school issue. Generally speaking, folks 50+ in age are likely to support more band music and less canned music. The younger crowd likes the blend of the band and canned music. I think we must consider the interests of recruits. What do 17-18 year olds on...

Face it guys, when you don't win enough you get stuck in the Noon/12:21 time slot. When the Vols start winning regularly again they'll get more 3:30/Night time slots. Heck, we should be lucky we got 3:30 slots against Oregon, Florida and Georgia. I would guess the Bama game will be a 3:30/Night...

So Tennessee isn't 8th in D-1A/FBS history in all time wins (801)? Or 3rd all time in bowl appearances (49)? UT doesn't have multiple consensus national championships and 13 SEC championships (2nd in SEC history)? Why shouldn't the expectations at Tennessee, given the program's history, be any...

I'll post the argument/point that I make to Fulmerites that I have never received a legitimate response to. If a coach has 2 losing seasons in 4 years at Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Texas, USC, Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Miami, etc., he would be fired. Period. If...

The Fulmerites just won't die out. Fact: UT almost beat LSU in the 2007 SEC title game. Fact: UT backed into the 2007 SEC title game after getting their rears handed to them by Florida and Alabama. Fact: Fulmer had 2 losing seasons in 4 years. Fact: Having 2 losing seasons in 4 years gets...

2004 was Fulmer's last good coaching job. The 07 team that made it to Atlanta is regularly referenced by the Fulmerites. But 07 wasn't actually that good of a year. Lost to Cal by 14, Florida by 39 and Alabama by 24, yet somehow backed into the SEC title game.

I'm not defending Fulmer, but didn't he beat Florida 5 times including the 92 game where he was filling in for Majors? 92, 98, 01, 03 and 04. But he lost to Florida in 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 99, 00, 02, 05, 06, 07, and 08. Periodically the Fulmerites pop out and attempt to re-write history. They...

I think he needs to beat one of Florida, Georgia, Alabama or South Carolina by his third season to have some job security beyond that. If we are 0-12 over the next three years against those four teams people won't be happy. About the only thing that might keep him around is finances and paying...

Fulmer and discipline? Anybody ever heard of the Fulmer Cup? If not, Google it. I'll never forget Kelley Washington strolling down through there in a fish net shirt. That guy was out of control.

On a different level but funny nonetheless, in 1987 ECU played at NC State in Raleigh and won. Their fans stormed the field and tore down the goal posts in NC State's stadium. The series was suspended after the incident until 1996.

I'm disappointed that he'll be off TSR. Tony buys his own air time so I suppose TSR didn't want to renew the agreement, which they have every right to do. I really think Tony's show is the most entertaining in the Knoxville market. I'm not someone that looks to sports talk radio as my primary...

Fulmer would have the program in better shape than Dooley, but it wouldn't be a top 25 program. What is better? A solid program that wins 7-8 games a year but not nationally relevant or taking a chance on the next guy who could give us 10+ wins a year or be .500?
