THANK YOU RANDY BOYD FROM ALL TN FANS:

Working with several large donors, Boyd helped put together a package for Barnes that will raise his salary to $4.75 million this season with raises that will see that figure climb to over $5 million during the life of the contract.

Additionally, the reworked contract provides Barnes with designated use of a private plane for a certain number of hours per month for personal reasons. For a grandfather who loves to spend time with his grandchildren in Austin, Tx., that was a savvy move on Boyd’s part.

He's a good thing. Straightened the books and got academics stronger before trying to get football. A lot of people thought all he was there for us to get his football legacy but those were mostly adjunct who just liked to complain a lot. Heck he came on one of our birding field trips just to talk to us boring biologists about what we think of ETSU.

My sister played softball for the Bucs. Great people there.

if results matter, kinda hard to argue with it though. dude is a stone cold killer on the course. guys like DJ and Rahm would do well to do their best imitations of him in that regard.

he's like a better version of Stenson.

I think DJ is stoic too. Nothing really gets him rattled or excited. He won the FedEx last year and already had it won, but he holed out from the fairway on 18. He virtually showed no emotion.

Man we got some interesting posters around this place.

Lots of anti-Barnes folks coming out of the woodwork now that he's been paid big bucks.

meh. they're anti winning. they'd be the same ones that would cry if he left because we didn't do enough to keep him and that this university doesn't care about winning....wah, wah, wah...

they can't have it both ways. be cheap and mediocre, or put your money on the table and take your shot at being great.

but pick one, and don't complain after you made your choice.
