The Official Tyler Announcement Thread

**orange+white=heaven** · 04-24-2008, 07:39 AM

10am approaches and hey, there is absolutely nothing else to talk about.

Spring ball is over.

The QB debate is over. Not that there ever really was one.

Hopson is in the pocket.

Lady Vols are still national champions.

Geno's still bitching like only a yankee can.

Todd Raleigh is trying, but there is only so much one can do at this point.

What are we left with?... 10am

Our track team is doing pretty well.

Not that I think there is any real suspense about this.

Quote:

“Can he improve his draft position more (next year) by staying? Yes,” UT Coach Bruce Pearl said. “And that is obviously what he is considering doing.”

Quote:

“We’ve gone over this decision very carefully,” Pearl said. “We’ve gotten a number of opinions. It’s a close call. With all the underclassmen coming out, it looks to be as deep of a draft as there has been in a long time. He’s moved down some.”

Quote:

"I know I'm going to be holding my breath hoping he comes back,'' UT associate head coach Tony Jones said. "Tyler means everything to next year's team. How many times did he make the big shot to win games during the SEC championship season?''

Quote:

"Tyler will be a great pro whenever he decides to leave,'' Howell said. "If he decides to come back, he'll be the team leader, because has that type of personality.''

Nothing from those quotes gives me great confidence, especially considering none are from Tyler.

The quotes were just stuff from the morning papers, my comment was more about the general feeling everyone seems to have that he will stay...

I hope you mean the Dunkel, because I'm not overly fond of the plain ole Warsteiner.

Me too. I've been here 3 1/2 years and finally reached the magical 1k post mark.

So I'm listening to sports animal in anticipation of this announcement. I don't think I've ever listened to these guys before.... not the brightest lights on the tree, are they?....
