I get it, but at the same time, you want strong players that don't get manhandled by the other team. Never discount the importance of S&C.

Yep just look at the last 2 years of Butch years here. We was weak AF.

A year late, but when Mark Stoops, Butch Jones, Jim McElwain and Bert Bielmma we’re hired in the same off season, how many of you had Stoops pegged as the longest remaining coach?

I’ll wait for hands

Well, Kentucky is a basketball school. They keep average or less than average coaches around for years.

Just wanted to make absolutely certain that everyone has seen this.

On Sunday night, my buddy @ethandaniel24posted a tweet about our friend Ben who was involved in a bad car accident and is now paralyzed from the neck down. He tagged Coach Fulmer in the tweet. A couple of people replied to the tweet and tagged more athletes, coaches, and former athletes of the university. This morning, Grant Williams took the time to FaceTime with Ben. Then an hour or so later, Coach Fulmer showed up to Select and met with our friend Ben. Ben has been through a lot lately, but has stayed positive throughout this difficult time. Brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye to see how happy Ben was to meet everyone's favorite Tennessean, Coach Phillip Fulmer. So proud that this man is back as a leader of the University of Tennessee once again. Cannot thank Coach Fulmer and Grant Williams enough. I am so proud to be a part of this great state and so proud to wear the orange and white. Go Vols!

Great news everyone, apparently all of my troubles are over! 😂😂😂
Hello my dear,

Calvary Greetings in the name of the ALMIGHTY

I sent this mail praying it will get to you in a good condition of health, since I myself are in a very critical health condition in which I sleep every night without knowing if I may be alive to see the next day. I bring peace and love to you. It is by the grace of God, I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man, for witness of God’s mercy and glory upon my life. I am Mrs. Allan lillian, a widow and citizen of United State of America. I am suffering from a long time brain tumor, It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have about a few months to leave, according to medical experts. The situation has gotten complicated recently with my inability to hear proper am communicating with you with the help of the chief nurse here in the hospital, from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that I may not live too long, this is because this illness has gotten to a very bad stage. I hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confidence that I am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of the orphans and the less privileges ones. I have some funds I inherited from my late husband, the sum of ($ 11,000,000.00, Eleven Million Dollars). Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to you believing that you will utilize it the way i am going to instruct here in. I need you to assist me and reclaim this money and use it for Charity works, for orphanages and gives justice and help to the poor, needy and widows says The Lord." Jeremiah 22:15-16.“ and also build schools for less privilege that will be named after my late husband if possible and to promote the word of God and the effort that the house of God is maintained. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. That's why I'm taking this decision. I'm not afraid of death, so I know where I'm going. I accept this decision because I do not have any child who will inherit this money after I die. Please I want your sincerely and urgent answer to know if you will be able to execute this project for the glory of God, and I will give you more information on how the fund will be transferred to your bank account. May the grace, peace, love and the truth in the Word of God be with you and all those that you love and care for.

I'm waiting for your immediate reply

May God Bless you,
Mrs....

We weren’t invited or Welcome like we are now. The interaction with staff, personnel and players is night and day. The atmosphere is like it used to be. The energy in that building is electric. Even last year with the losses, we just chalked them up and went back to work.

I can’t stress this enough, I want Pruitt to succeed and stay at UT for a LONG time. He is what we need on the hill. If he gets some depth, and wins here, it could be magical a few times over.

We have to be patient.

Pruitt’s both lucky and cursed to have taken over at rock bottom. Should get all the time he needs if he can just continually improve each season and not make head scratching gameday decisions that undermine our confidence in him.

Usually you know what you have after 2 or 3 years based on performance, but I can see it being year 4 before we are legitimately competing for the East.

This is something new with Pruitt. He's trying to build competition and this is one way to get it done under the current rules. Nebraska made a living off their walk on program when they were in their glory days.

Frost is bringing back that walk-on program at Nebraska. There’s a great article on it in The Athletic. After reading I was hoping we could do something similar. There are plenty of tough country boys in TN who would suit up in orange for a chance to play in Neyland.

I was worried this may be an overseas scam but then she said "I am a citizen of the United States" and I was like..
Oh, no longer concerned at all 😂

probably some kids in urban areas too, such as Maryville and Alcoa. I've seen MC play when they were good. Maryville was a feeder to them.
