Coach Raleigh

After having a chance to interview him tonight, I firmly believe that Tennessee will suprise a lot of people.

Get ready to hear the term "Gorilla Ball" a lot.

Kentrail Davis and Josh Liles are going to see a lot of playing time.

Raleigh believes in putting a fence up around Tennessee. He said his goal is to get Tennessee kids that want to play for the school.

I've talked to Coach Raleigh multiple times, and I liked his style as soon as I met him. He's incredibly accomodating in terms of interviews and stories, good guy.

Ha! Ha! Ha! This was prophetic, just not how you thought I'm sure. Both guys leave the program worse than they found it.

And we see how that "fence around Tennessee" mantra worked out.

[] CTR is a winner
[x] Bruce Pearl "turned around our compliance dept.
[] Mike Hamilton made a good hire
[x] OP and company lost some credibility

"gorilla ball"....when I heard that I was under the impression that we were going to abandon the Delmonico dink n dunk for a homerun friendly scheme, I had no idea he meant that we would have a gorilla coaching our boys.

Have you all ever watched TR gallop out to the mound? It all makes sense now, he's a gorilla.

To be fair, we have surprised people; only it was by how bad we've gotten.
