Yeah, but that's when my analytical mind starts going wild. Which exercises should I do for which body part should I be taking any supplement? How many reps, times per week for each exercise, etc.? Welcome to my world It's crazy enjoy.

I just don’t understand why he’s not happy. Rabid and supportive fan base, one of the highest paid coaches in America, he’s put together a great team, everybody loves him, he’s close to family, why is he unhappy!

Either he wants to be on the beach or he thinks he has hit his max potential here and could do better at UCLA.

Based on conversations I've had in the past couple of hours the feeling from some people close to the situation is that if UCLA picks up the tab on that buyout then Barnes will leave.

No resolution on the matter as of this moment”

But if he stays after all this, how will he be received by VolNation?

Where does he kids and grandkids live? Would it be closer in California? Other than that, I got nothing.

Has anyone actually come out with some concrete information on just what exactly Barnes is so upset about with Fulmer, the AD or the admin?

I mean we've gone from "the man is a pillar of the community....most likely retire here..." to disgruntled employee looking for a lifeline to get the hell out...

This pisses me off on so many levels.

So he doesn’t want to be here?

Still speculation at this point, though. We don’t know if he’s unhappy or to what extent.

Could just be money talking and wanting to coast out the rest of his years in an easier division.

I think both sides have mentally moved on. This has been in the works for days. IMO, Barnes had decided to leave if UCLA came through with the deal. UCLA did, UT made concessions to get it close and if Barnes wanted to stay at UT, that should've been the sign of support he wanted. Dragging it out is pointless... unless he has been trying to get more out of UCLA, which could be the case

You know, I’m still in the camp that believes winning can cure all, but this is getting a bit messy.

How is it any messier than it was this morning or at noon?

The only thing that has changed is media pundits speculating and Vols fans arguing amongst ourselves.

Pretty big difference in spurning Memphis for Lexington and Knoxville for LA, though.

..is there, though? Memphis has had to vacate a few years, but I mean... I'm not crapping on Tennessee as I'm sure I'm due to get some clapback especially about 1982-85 and 2008. But those years still happened, and for the oldheads, the memories did too. Even my Memphis friends are always going to remember 2008 as the year the Tigers went all the way, regardless of whether or not the NCAA counts it.

Vols all-time: 1643–1046–2 (.611)
Memphis all-time: 1,406–820–1 (.632)

Kentucky and UCLA are basketball blue-bloods.

It is kinda similar.
