Say something about the Cubs or eyepatches?

No, he was going off about the Tennessee state legislature cutting off funding to the Office of Diversity at UT (the one behind "xyr" and "make sure your holiday party isn't secretly a Christmas party in disguise") as being moronic given the state of things at the university. I disagreed. He disagreed. We both grew a little.

Actually, he's totally wrong, so I didn't grow at all, but whatever.

Through seven games this season, the #Vols baseball team has scored more than 1/3 of the runs it scored all of last season.

A funny thing happens when you are not worried about doing anything other than swinging the bat to hit the ball. You actually can score a lot of runs and win baseball games.

Thank you, Coach Simcox.

Vol fans have asked for Butch Jones to open up in the past, and it looks like they might be getting their wish.

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones is the latest of college football coaches to throw jabs at Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh for him taking his team down to IMG Academy in Florida to practice on the campus during his team’s spring break.

It all started when Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema tweeted this on Wednesday afternoon:

Bret Bielema@BretBielema:
After early meetings & lift tomorrow with our players. Thinking about heading to watch an open practice tomorrow at IMG with the staff. #WPS

Not even an hour later, and Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio quoted Bielema’s tweet with another slight troll towards Harbaugh:

Mark Dantonio@DantonioMark:
Want to do lunch? #V4MSU

Then Butch Jones got in on the action and threw a little jab of his own:

Butch Jones@UTCoachJones:
Mind if I join you guys for lunch? @DantonioMark @BretBielema

Vol fans have wanted Jones to open up and show some more of his personality for years, and this was a welcome change from his usual coach speak and prepared sayings. It’s not a huge troll or an outright call-out like something Lane Kiffin did while at UT, but it’s certainly more brash than Jones is known for being usually.

Whether the three coaches actually go down to Florida and watch Michigan practice is unknown. Chances are they won’t. But it’s nice to see some coaches have a little fun online.

It is kind of bad timing to do this. At least wait until the lawsuit stuff cools down. The media is already portraying us (wrongfully) as creating a hostile environment for women and now they'll be able to portray us (wrongfully) as creating a hostile environment for minorities.

I think it's a joke department, but these days state Universities have got to have a diversity department at least for show. They may send out a bunch of fruity little memos that everybody roles their eyes at, but it's not like they have any power over anything.

imo the titans pick does have value. If the cowboys or miners fall in love w goff or cw that pick ahead of cleveland becomes very valuable

i could see the titans trading firsts and pickmg up maybe a 3rd as well. Lets say ots the cow is 5th pick they then get. You know qb would have then gone 1-2 so you are still getting a very high non-qb pick

If you watch the full video, the guy in the black comes in swingin at the stripes guy. Stripes guy goes ham on 3 of those dudes. If anything, the guy in the black tries to rush in swinging and then tries to fight 3 dudes at once bc I think he thought his boys behind him, were well, more behind him than that. lol

Dude in the black got wrecked and forgot his hat.

Great start to the season. There is a series with UC - Irvine coming up and the SEC will be brutal as usual, but I am more optimistic after seeing the bats so far this year. I do hate the Kyle Serrano is done for the year. Hopefully, he will be ok after surgery and we have the pitching depth to make up for that loss.

But my argument is that the university still has diversity and outreach programs and that this one office was a poster child for administrative bloat and reckless spending in a time of soaring tuition.

Having said that, I understand the argument about timing. My principal objection was Rucker calling people "morons," bending over backwards to say he promises that "a few people in this state aren't like that," and assuring people that he lives in a very "progressive" neighborhood. It was the obnoxious preening that got under my skin.

Meh... You have to go over there on occasion and spread some wisdom, otherwise they will just continue their downward spiral.

I spent some time over there earlier. I look at it as volunteer work.

Wow, I didn't know that Marlon Walls had been added to the witness list. I did hear his interview on Swain's show and thought that some of what he said came across in a bad way. I couldn't listen to the rest of the show, though, but I did get to hear Stokes with his panties in a wad over Walls' comments. I find it very interesting that they have destroyed the recording (no way it was "lost" due to a technical problem).
