Yeah, if you call it class when a guy throws his own players under the bus, makes extended jokes with the media at their expense, yeah man, he was ultra classy.

I related to Dooley on lots of levels. I liked his cynical, perhaps even caustic, sense of humor. He was overly critical of individuals and that made it easier to sour on him.

That's about the most praise I've heard from the media about a Butch Jones appearance. They liked that he was without slogans and seemed real. If it's a thing, I think Butch won the press conference today.

Does that mean Kiffin can sit in practices? May need a clarification.

I think it does mean that, if (IF):

1. Kiffin had taken us to SEC and National championships;
2. Kiffin lived and breathed Volunteer orange from childhood through retirement; and
2. Kiffin weren't such an immature douchebag.

Then yeah, I think we'd need clarification. But as things actually ARE, no, I think we can see the distinction.

It was good in the sense that I don't think he gave anyone a meatball to tee off on. I was surprised, not by the SECN crew, but the sports reporters. If they're that nice to Sumlin, this is going down as an awfully boring week.

After saying individual(s) about 20- 25 times CBJ hinted at platooning QD and JG. Thought that could happen.

Mike Griffith just used Tennessee beat VT by 21 and Clemson only beat VT by 7 as a comparison for how close Tennessee is. I'm all for optimism but that guy is ridiculous.

LOL.

I wonder if they agree about Ginger versus Marianne?

I wonder if they agree about Pringles versus Lays?

I wonder if it matters whether they agree on everything?

But heck yeah, let's pole vault over this one for a while!

I think that today's media session was easily the best during Butch's tenure. He showed a lot of humility and personality today.

No, that wasn't the point Mike was making. I mean, he said exactly what he meant by it. He said there's a lot of parity from top to bottom in college football these days, that's football, underdogs can win or come close to winning, it's football.

He was explicitly NOT saying that Tennessee was "close" (to championships or whatever you think he was saying Tennessee was "close" to).

He did say that, those were his exact words. And finebaum fired back well how close were they when they used overtime to beat app state

I've always liked Butch as a guy, and I like him a little more after seeing that interview.

That guy he high fived at the end of the interview said earlier today Tennessee would have an "abysmal" year this year.
