All of those things make his shortcomings and unwillingness to adapt all the more frustrating.

Hopefully we can get Blackburn in here ASAP and his guidance and leadership can help Butch get over the hump in regards to those shortcomings.

Something else I love about Volnation. Part of the people say he's to hands on and can't make adjustments. Then there was the group saying he turned it over to his team captains and it didn't work.

Which one is it? Was he to hands on or to hands off last year. I'm getting confused the more bull**** I read.

I think a big part of the issue with this board is not so much with Butch per se as it is with what are reasonable expectations for our program by which we should measure Butch?

While very disappointing, I can forgive a year like this year personally because I think it is largely explainable by the ridiculous amount of injuries.

But there seems to be a contingent of noisy, annoying fans that can never excuse anything less than 11-1. And I have no idea where those fans get their expectations. I don't think they've ever taken an objective look at our program's history.

RIP Carrie Fisher.

This sucks. In a world where people complain nonstop about how people censor themselves, she was truly honest about her drug addiction and mental health problems. I didn't love everything she said, but Fisher was someone who found her way back after a big fall. F 2016.

Two minute drill video today on VQ with Hubbs and Austin price…They said that in practice today Todd Kelly Jr took some reps at linebacker. Hubbs said he's not really reading too much into it other then they expect Nebraska to try to run downhill at the defense so they're going to do everything they can to stop it and maybe TKjr at linebacker helps.

A few days ago all I asked for was for us to get through 2016 with no more deaths... This year has been brutal.

Based on articles I read about Shoop's D when he was hired, I'd say if TKjr. were to add 15 lbs or so in the offseason, he'd be ideal for the star position.

I remember when bowl practices started they said they were gonna move a few people around and get them practice reps at different positions. They're probably getting an early feel for position changes that could happen in spring

He should stay there.

He's not a safety anymore. Too slow.

If they were to move TK to star, Byrd to corner, and upgrade the coaching our DB's are getting, I'll feel a lot better about our defense next year.

Nice. Really hoping to see that move. He really struggled at S due to speed. He would instantly look better speed wise at LB. I don't know much about his physical toughness and ability to get off blocks. If he can do that you could have another JRM situation. Staff has to find a way to get Warrior out there at S and Abernathy is unlikely to be moved

Thousands of people do that, no one mourns their passing unless they're a celebrity. I'll never understand the mourning over famous people dying. I'm not happy when anyone dies, but no more so a celebrity than anyone else.

“Oh, it’s different playing at Tennessee and being from Tennessee,” said Malone, his 10 touchdown catches this season most by a Vols’ wideout in a decade. “Everybody knows who you are around the state, and you’ve got to represent the ‘Power T.’

“It’s just something I learned to embrace. No matter where you go, there’s always somebody watching and you’ve got to be careful of your actions.”
