If James Franklin would have been at Tennessee we would have loved the guy.

What the guy did at Vandy was incredible.

Sure he was more then brash at times, but its probably exactly what they needed.

He had over 70k at the Spring Game today. I hope he does well there.

I think they can still only take like a maximum of 20 recruits per year. Some number like that

I mean yes they take a few less than most teams, but a lot of schools outside the SEC take less not because of scholarship reduction, but a combination of SEC recruiting and players in the SEC leaving early for the draft because of an influx in talent compared to other conferences

I'd actually like to see Jimmy Frank have some success at PSU.

Yeah, he beat us twice, but he also set Vandy back by about two years by detonating their recruiting class on his way out. Can't fault the man for that.

But Vandy wasn't his dream job. If successful he might end up retiring from PSU.

I want him to fail miserably the rest of his career.

I dont know, I hated him when he was at Vandy, but not quite in the way I hated Urban.

I at least had respect how Franklin built up that program.

Again, I hated the exposure and the ESPN pieces, but if that was us I would have loved it.

If Urban handled the players like he did at Florida here, I would have hated him.

I just kinda think he is good for college athletics while I think guys like Urban are pure scum.

Urban and Frank are similar. Both have players that get arrested a lot (Vandy's mostly came all at once). Both "built" a program and took a bigger job (now just time to wait for Frank to make up some BS, take a year off, and end up at like Notre Dame), both have just awful qualities for opposing fans. But the absolute worst part is the both coached and beat us at rival schools. I will never, ever like Franklin or Urban. JMO and I respect yours FWIW

To be fair they only allotted 50,000 tickets bc renovation in north end zone and upper decks.

So technically it was only 15000 no shows give or take. Smdh

Great turn out by Vol faithful btw.

To be fair your no shows would have nearly doubled the crowd at Vandy.

Just sayin'.

Can't fault me for a little homerism. I would have some concern over future gator attendance if they continue to underperform. Last year showed me they *could* have Jaguar-level attendance if w's are hard to come by.

No disrespect intended, but when you don't sell out, it doesn't matter how many empty seats there were. Butts in the seats remains the same, IMO. :hi:

Wish I could of made the O&W game. You guys that live close are very lucky. Looked like the young'ns Hurd & Malone showed out. Can't wait til these guys are Juniors & Seniors. Butch Jones will have TN back as SEC champs very soon.

Also great to see my former VOlS EB14 and DMoore back at TN.

In 2003 I became a big boxing fan. I was going through some rough times and I really sank in to boxing to get away from a lot of the other things that were going on around me. I watched every fight I could. I bought VHS tape of fights people had recorded off ESPN online. I read every book, newspaper clipping, and magazine article I could find.

In my view Floyd Mayweather Jr will be remembered as an all-time great and one of the most technically proficient boxers ever.

Manny Pacquiao is one of the most exciting fighters of our time.

I've been waiting for them to fight for 5-6 years, since Pacquaio came up in weight enough to make it a realistic possibility. If Pacquaio fights Floyd after beating Bradley you guys are all cordially invited to my house to watch the fight.

Franklin cost us a winning season the last two years. Two different head coaches couldn't beat him, even as he was being a jerk-off to UT and the fans. And we (inadvertently) helped him get a primo job.

f*** him. I hate him. I hope he fails miserably.

Spring game or fall attendance?\

80000 vs 30000 UF would never fall to that level.

Pediction:

Starting secondary base 4-3, 2014

CB Cam Sutton So
CB Evan Berry Fr (potentially All-SEC freshman)
SS Todd Kelly Fr (potentially All-SEC freshman)
FS Brian Randolph RS Jr

Elliot said his report date is May 26 and Evan's is July 1. Does that suggest Evan is a blue shirt?

Link?

And they both signed LOIs, so I'm not sure either can blue shirt.

If I had to guess I'd say they took different classes and Evan needs to finish up a math class or something like that.

I too think Evan will get a lot of PT in the secondary and that a freshman will pass up McNeil by season' end though.
