Peyton was supposed to buy one in "Thunder Farms" but i don't think it ever went though! |

These kind of twerps fancy themselves almost God-like and think that their opinions matter more than us common folk.
Just my opinion... | I agree with your opinion. Some of these big boosters (not just Tennessee, but in general...) are so intoxicated by their access to a coaching regime that they lose focus on the ultimate goals and overall health of their program. |

I don't think so unless it has a $750,000 house on it. LMAO
