Just outside of Lebanon. My wife is connected to the board that puts on a yearly benefit for Cumberland nursing program They do a silent auction and she has suggested I donate it for their benefit. Probably what I will do...….or if I do sell it to one of you if interested, then I can just donate the $ to that cause. I have options but I personally don't need the money. We shall see.

You can get one straight from the Publisher for around 125 to 150 if I remember correctly. I wanted a pristine one so I got in touch with him and just ordered directly from him. Dont sell yours man, give it to a young boy in your family, Or maybe to one of Rich Rollin"s sons. If you need the cash I bet VN could come up with it and we could donate the book

Do you happen to know a fella by the name of Todd Jones?

Well, I think it’s pretty ridiculous the standard the guy is held to - a standard no one else on the team is held to. I guess it’s because he was such a highly ranked prospect.

It’s my opinion that most of his problems are directly related to 3 years of inconsistent coaching and the lack of talent around him. I’ve seen him be a top level QB when given time to set and throw.

The way he gets bashed around here is ridiculous and I can promise you we will be much worse off if he transfers.

I don't agree with you a lot, but we are 100% in agreement on this. Wanting JG gone "right now" is completely asinine. Going into a SEC season with 2 untested QBs and a horrid OL is a recipe for utter disaster.

I agree with this to some extent, but I also think that focusing on recruiting and waiting to make a hire until silly season is in full swing probably wasn’t a bad call once the top choice (Freeze) was off the board.

The last week of the NFL/Bowl season is always when staff situations become really fluid all around the country. If you rush to hire someone in December just cuz, you never know if a better candidate may become available first week of January.

Not sure how old you are but if you have any kids or potential grands who love the Vols and are responsible, would be great to pass that on.

I like JG. I think he's a quality kid. I think he's got the physical tools. I just don't think he's got that "it" factor. I think his limitations are between his ears. I'm not sure whether it's because of his lack of/inconsistent coaching, or he just doesn't have the genetic makeup. For his own sake, if he can't get it done here, I hope he does transfer to a place he can succeed. Like I said, he's a quality kid that's worked his tail off and has taken a beating on many occasion for his efforts. I'm pulling for him regardless of whether it's here or somewhere else.

If the guy can play somewhere else and succeed, then he can play here and succeed. He isn't a Heisman candidate, neither is he a bad QB. We need him to hold the line this year, to bridge the gap.

Not really. If his strengths don't align with our strengths, he might find a better fit somewhere else. Take Dobbs for instance, can you imagine how bad the Vols would have been without his talents? On the other hand he may have not seen the field at another program.

Please provide a one time recap request for an extremely hungover vol fan on the JG transfer talk... I would normally read the last 30 pgs on my morning constitutional (tmi) with glee/ BVS, what have you, lol. If he didn’t win the job out right last ur I could see it. JG is loyal to fault... He a beating last yr on & off the field. Give the man a better OL...Going back to sleep now, Happy New Years VN

No one said he is transferring. Someone heard there may be some "surprise" transfers coming soon, another responded that he hopes JG isn't one of them, and the usual JG is good/bad discussion erupted.
