None of this should be familiar to anyone. The massive amount of new knowledge you have to absorb in a health situation is beyond overwhelming. Prayers that you and your family ask the right questions and absorb the right information.

And then when they do you are going to go on and on about how the offensive line hasn't improved from last year. The game really is a win/win for you, no matter what will have something to incessantly whine about until fall

JG’s progression- has his eyes, feet, head got any faster and better
I want to see some offensive guys make the first guy miss. We have been missing this for a while now
Defensively- I want to see the line have gap control on 1 and 2 down then bull rush on 3.
Lock down corners.

Man I wish it was August already!!

So apparently Elvis works the night shift at UT Medical. At first, I thought it was Latino Elvis but no, the King has just been spending his time out of the limelight working on his tan. He was going by the name of Roy, Bob, or Tom or something like that but I'd know that hair and those mutton chops anywhere.

Now, don't go hitting him up for autographs and stuff (he's keeping it low key) but I thought y'all should know.

Weird. Last I had heard, he was in a nursing home in east Texas. Had a run-in with an Egyptian fella, story was.

Oh boy, got a realist in here folks, look out. The difference between the intern and Pruitt is simple: Pruitt has actually coached at a high level. The intern had never accomplished anything. Pruitt has multiple national championships and is highly regarded as being, if not the best, one of the very best defensive coordinators in college football.

Further, we didn't have to google Pruitt's staff like we did the interns. Everyone on Pruitt's staff have coached at an extremely high level, most in the SEC, and most have one championships. They have put multiple guys in the NFL and have recruited and developed some of the best players in college football over the last decade.

But tell me again how this staff and Pruitt compares with that Mac coaching staff we had before him.

I agree with everything other than butch was a decently successful HC upon hiring. He actually had an OK resume.

The problem is staff can only take you so far. Pruitt has to prove he’s the guy.

Not having 20 season ending injuries a year is a good start

Yeah, I had heard the term but not through personal experience. The people sending the nurse answered the phone " ____ hospice and home healthcare" Guess they provide for both.

My ignorant butt thought I understood. When I Googled, I felt sick (sicker) to my stomach.
Geeeez, dumbazz.

Here is a link to the presser. It seems like not many people are excited about Harpers hire, but I for one am THRILLED. I think Pat would be excited as well. I know no one knows how she will do until she does it, but I think the Lady Vols will be back under Kellie's leadership.

Biggest issue with these models is how much they rely in returning production...but they don't seem to account well for replacing a dl that controls the line/pocket without creating actual stats, or OL.

Iirc "the models" loved us a few times in the past and didnt work out. Ill keep my 6-6 low expectations until UT provws me otherwise. It's been 12 years since theyve exceeded the vegas w/l prediction by more than .5 game, so ill keep waiting.

SMH...now truth is "excuses"...What a jerk.

thats the real world though. If I tell my boss reality, he dgaf, says "just get it done, make it happen". For $4m, I'd expect Pruitt to "just get it done" too and not make excuses publicly, especially when coaches with no talent are doing it elsewhere.

He is in the real world too, excuses are useless.
