UT isn't a place programs have to build slowly; it's a place where coaches have built slowly. UT can recruit the right players and develop them as quickly as any other school with comparable resources. UT fans have invested a lot of time and effort insisting that it's harder to recruit to UT and people should give coaches all the time they need to learn OTJ.

I've been out of baseball interest for a while now, but I've heard a little about an ump going power trippy in an Astros game. Anybody see that? There were even some gambling allegations being thrown around.

I figure a good officials scandal is good fodder.

Yea the umpire, Ron Kulpa, said "I can do anything I want!" I bet he said it with a cackle.

Then we spent the next half a decade futilely pounding square pegs into a round hole and wondering why that wasn't working. The problem hasn't been not giving good people time to get good results; it's been not hiring good people in the first place. Expecting them to get good results just compounded the problem.

i think the biggest difference between us right now and Clemson 10 years ago (and this is what makes them more comparable to what we were 25 years ago...) is that the conference just wasn't that strong. FSU was perennial contender in the ACC, and Clemson becaome the challenger and eventually overtaker. with us, right now, we're really deep at the top with Bama and GA more than nationally relevant and Auburn, FL, LSU all right there as well.

25 years ago, it was TN and FL in the SEC.....and those two schools ruled it, with FL taking top dog most of the time. had there been a play off back then, we'd of probably made it in 95, 98, 99, 01 for sure. maybe 96? anyway, you get the idea.

Clemson definitely replaced us nationally....

i'm not so sure our path to that is all that clean cut......lot harder now than it was back then in the conference, much less nationally....we're not the 2nd fiddle program in the SEC like Clemson was 10 years ago.

Plan B
Let Bama knock off Dabo again.
We beat Georgia.
We become the hot new giant killer.
Take all the cruits

So they attempted to remove the calcified blockage at the end of the pancreas duct or install a stent, so removal could be done later. Both unsuccessful.
The sonic blasts to my abdomen appears to be a last hope.

Sidenote: surgeon asked if I needed to speak with a counselor for possible depression over the disappointing results.
I just smirked and said "nah, I can handle it. I'm a Vols fan"

By one account a terrible person.

I prefer baseball players like George Waddell... y'know guys who are easily distracted by fire trucks.

I think Cobb would be described today as a sociopath, a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. Not to be confused with a psychopath or crazy person. A psychopath may snap and kill people. A crazy person may snap and kill people too, but they will be wearing a Donald Duck costume;)

Sonic blast, huh? Probably some shrieking crazies on VN that could help with that.

I took my kids to the O&W game last year when the were 8 and 9 years old and they had an absolute blast. They loved the Vol walk and we accidentally ran into Smokey and his handler, so they got to pet him and we got pics with him. I’m not comfortable taking them to a season game yet with the intensity and F bombs, so the O&W game presents an awesome experience for us together. I love the “Spring Fling” concept they’re doing this year, too; I think that will be great fun as well.

Maybe as we get closer, we can get a thread going in case some folks want to meet up?
