I keep seeing that all things point HT to Bama; and not just from you, Jake. Where are these things? I have not seen them...not one single remark or sentence from HT, at all. Every interview I have seen him give, or have read, he never talks about Bama without talking about UT, and vice versa. And yes, I know all about Lupoi. Is there something else that I may have missed?

just things i read and hear from the usual suspects when HT comes up. all the predictions on 247 and rivals have him going to Bama. and let's face it, when we've gone head to head w/bama for a guy they want as bad as we want, we've not always come out on the good end of that....

i htink we have a legit shot with HT, don't get me wrong. i just think if it comes down to a simple choice, no other factors affecting it, he probably chooses Bama.

to your point, HT hasn't said anything one way or hte other, and i wouldn't expect him to.

I think most just assume a recruit would pick Bama just like they all assumed Crouch would pick Clemson or Michigan and would not even mention Tennessee as a possibility.

Guess God knew what He was doing when he created the wolf.... I have heard there are plans to bring more into Savage Gulf State Park to help control the coyotes. Not sure if it has been done, but heard some howling last week.

I'm aware, worked in Lake YNP in 03. Good lord i miss the Grand Teton, that pic gives me chills.

Nothing like waking up middle of the night hearing wolf howls and elk bugles. Take a whiz outside? No siree. Bull Bison standing there, better go the other way.

Amazing how God's plan (or your god) is unique in every way.

Lands must be managed, effectively. It's science.

probably, and there's not a lot of precedent out there to say otherwise.

the difference i would put out there between HT and a guy like Crouch is the distance factor and the fact that Crouch (and guys like him) have a ton of history with UT as far as visits go.

a little different with a guy like HT who can't get out here for UOV's like regional kids can.

that said, i know we're doing what we're supposed to cause Nieds is going to Cali i think every week to visit this kid. and i know Kevin Simon has remained in contact with him as well.

the OV will be HUGE for him. and it's also good for us that he's been out here for an UOV as well.

like i said, i don't htink we're out of it by any means.

but to your point above, it's hard to see him picking us over Bama, if that's all it comes down to.....just pick one....

I'm not taking a whiz outside at night lol. Too many bear, bobcat, coyote sightings here lately. And since man is responsible for taking the wolf out of the ecosystem God created that caused the mismanagement of the land, I sure am glad we have scientists available with good scientific knowledge to know how to reintroduce them so these results were possible.

So let me get this straight. Butchs plan to replace OL that were about to quit football instead of play for him was to get a guy with bad health bill that will never play? And he wonders why he doesn't have a job here

I don't have your faith. I have to think it takes more than reintroduction of one species to a realigned ecosystem to restore it to a previous state. And that previous state isn't even what we want, since we want to keep the agriculture and livestock where we've added it. So many moving parts.

Agreed. But my faith is based on the Bible that says God created a garden in Eden where everything was perfect with nature, and there was mo death. Man allowed sin in which brought death and destruction. That perfect world will be recreated when Jesus reigns on earth. Until then we do the best we can, and it is always a fragile balance. Understand that few share my faith though.

It's hard for people to understand the impact of an apex predator, but that's the exact impact of an apex predator. Introduce a historical apex predator and the ecosystem will be transformed almost overnight.
