Why are we even thinking and talking about ANYTHING from the last 10 yrs, like how we played against Vandy and LSU last year? I'll admit, I'm as guilty of it as anyone; just the other day, I was debating Dooley or Butch, which was the worst.
We have to, in the words of Don Draper, move forward. We do an injustice to Jeremy Pruitt whenever we look back, and let it slip into our minds the thought, 'the way they've been, is the way they're going to be', if that makes any sense. I understand why we do it, for most of us, it's our nature. In reality, Derek Dooley and Butch Jones shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence, paragraph, story as Jeremy Pruitt; the moment he was hired, all thoughts of the last decade should have evaporated...however, and again, I understand, they didn't for a lot of us.
What is happening now on Rocky Top is so beyond the realm of what we witnessed with Dooley and Butch; the installation of being a champion, of taking it to the highest level every single day, from the QB to the secretaries in the football office.
