This is interesting..
"To’oto’o – pronounce the sound of the individual o’s is as in the “a” in talk. It is a staff used by chiefly orators when making speeches in the open."

To’oto’o told Brandon Huffman that he was definitely taking the OV to Alabama. It was posted on their 247 board last night.

[EDIT] I had to think of this in the way a Yankee would think of it because in my East Tennessee brogue, the word talk probably sounds more like "tawlk" when it leaves my mouth and more like "tock" when pronounced by our northern brethren.

Tah'ah-tah'ah.

Saw that too but I bet he doesn't end up visiting. He was leaning UT before Tosh left, it's over now. No reason to visit Bama anymore.
Sounds like his coach and confidant are in his ear though that Bama will still be Bama. Let’s hope he follows his heart.
