I think he's also trying to get more subs. But, I don't blame him. That's his livelihood. I think people getting rubbed the wrong way about Pruitt's comments are being a little sensitive. But, I am a straight up homer. So, I will pretty much support my coach until he shows he ain't going to win.

Same here.

I watched the post game presser live and Pruitt's comments did kind of make me raise my eyes a bit, but I think mostly he was trying to send a message to players.


And honestly, I find Pruitt's honesty refreshing. If he doesn't win or meet expectations, I could see it getting old. But I'll take Pruitt's frankness over Butch's cliches, coachspeak, spin, and (at times) downright dishonesty any day.

Only way to get Hyams to shut his mouth is to call his show and call him out and let the advertisers know how you feel about his constant bad mouthing

He won't let you say too much. He will disconnect you if you criticize and will do it faster if you're accurate in your criticism.

They say you should not hire the same guy you just fired and Coach Fulmer went out and hired the polar opposite, personality-wise, to Butch Jones. And, I love it. I think he wins big here.

Thanks for the concern guys. The fall on a helmet bit wasn’t too terribly far off actually.

Last night I went to a friend’s birthday party. *Everything after this point is my conjecture* Apparently at some point I decided that I had enough to drink and was ready to walk back to my place. At some point I either fell or a car hit me or something, because I hit my head, got knocked unconscious, had a nose bleed, and was vomiting. Someone called an ambulance, but left/ ran before the ambulance got there.

I’m still a bit concussed and hurt all over. Waking up in a hospital dressed in a gown with a everything attached to you and then being taken for a CT scan when the last thing you remember was about 20 minutes after arriving at the party is scary.

Pruitt's comment about some fans not showing up did not bother me in the least. It's not like he told our fanbase to go to KMart instead, or anything.

This.

Sometimes a forward thinking leader (coach) plants seeds in advance. He's simply telling real Vol fans to get our arses to the games and support the team this next season. I think he made it quite clear about what the expectations are for the players and made it clear to the coaches during their hiring what his expectations are. It takes all of us.

Love it.

Uh that's a bit worrisome. i assume they tested you for drugs to make sure you didn't get a roofiie? Almost like a roofie/robbery type deal or something.

Taylor did not have to defend against any of the first team receivers, but I liked his aggressiveness and intensity.

Agreed. I was talking about the 1s but there were a bunch of guys on the 2s that impressed. Alontae definitely stood out. Hard to judge the front on the 2s because the ol they went up against was incomplete to put it nicely.

Yeah, the thought passed my mind as well, but my wallet and phone were on me with nothing missing. My mom thinks that maybe a car hit me and they called 911, but got out of there to avoid any trouble.

Wish Alontae would go all in on adorree Jackson type. He clearly has the most potential of any CB on roster. He gets in there and will get physical. Can't really blame him for wanting to Play WR in thisnoffense either

And for Hyams, remember he was the one reporting the TK suicide attempt. He’s stooped to TMZ-level reporting, and he sucks at it.

I am a pretty big homer, too, but I just thought it was unnecessary. He doesn't need to tell Vols fans to show up. We do that.

The spring game attendance was nothing unusual.
