Man, I’m completely blown away. I posted earlier this week asking for recommendations on where to go in Asheville to watch the UT/AU game because the gf had some work thing and her company was paying for the room. Well she got me. As we were about to leave to head to Asheville she hands me a photo collage book thing...🙄🙄... I’m wanting to hit the road but she made this thing for me and if I don’t act like it’s the greatest thing ever then my weekend will suck no matter what. Anyway, it’s actually enjoyable and I could tell she put a lot of work in to it, great present IMO. I get to the last page, it’s after 9pm before she gets to my place and I want to go to get to Asheville and party a little...I get to the last page and I’m like oh cool you saved some of the game stubs of the games I took you to...look harder, she got 2 lower level seats for the AU game, a dope Airbnb, and G10 parking pass. She didn’t even know about the parking pass, whoever she got the tix from just threw that in. Also, she bought these before the UF game last week. She completely blew me away. She had no idea how big a game this was (and it wasn’t til after the UF game), had no idea it’s senior day on what was somewhat of a trying season but one that is ending very promising IMO, and this is obviously completely by happenstance (but I’m a history nerd and a big fan of nostalgia as well) but if I’m not mistaken this week is the anniversary of the Alamo...so I’m pretty damn stoked. We get to the Airbnb just after 2am, no WiFi and no cable, but that’s no big deal. GF wants to shower, I make a drink and start looking at the DVD options, top of the pile is Tennessee Football The Greatest Plays. I’m still in disbelief lol. But we’re sitting in 104, pregaming in G10, and post-game we haven’t even discussed. If anyone wants to pregame let me know!

Who the heel can stay up until 2 am? Sounds like shenanigans to me.

Vols lose bad today, embarrassingly bad. They get runt out of the gym. Paper bag over your head bad. So bad Fulkerson foregoes his senior year and leaves immediately after the game to start his professional career playing for the Wuhan, China Bats. It's so bad coach Barnes agrees to go too so he can keep coaching him. Sad, sad day.

Kelly has not exactly inspired LV greatness this season. However, playing without their true PG most of the season did not help things at all. The lack of quickness on the perimeter and inability to stop the opposing G's on the dribble drives has been exposed by the better opponents. What irks me the most is the lack of effort for about half of every game as well as the mind numbing, stupid turnovers. That tells me there is a lack of communication and discipline between coaches and players.

She needs to be given a couple more recruiting classes and to mature as a HC at this level before making any decisions on her employment. They allowed Holly to totally tank the program. Kelly needs at least 3 seasons to build it back in the right direction.

Inbreeding....not usually a good thing. They had a chance to go out and get a solid coach to replace Holly. Instead, the fans just had to have yet another former LV. Like some magic exists in the PHS line of former players. They'll be hunting again in another 4-5 years. Wonder which former player gets the call next?

I agree. Wasn't sure what to expect with this team this year. What's been concerning to me is that the team has made little to no improvement as the season has progressed. To me that falls on coaching. I'm always asking myself how I think a more proven coach would have done. Not saying she shouldn't get her chance, obviously she will. My confidence that she will win at a high level is pretty low right now.

@Freak move if needed. Sorry if not allowed. 100% of all profits go to Putnam County rescue squad and the community foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Just saw a report on my local tv news talking about the thousands of volunteers spanned out all across the affected areas helping this morning. The reporter was in an area of Donelson. There was a utility crew out of Kentucky working and one of the workers from that crew and just broke down crying. After regaining his composure, he said that "in my 25 yrs of working in electrical utility and working disasters, I have never seen anything like this spirit and compassion from so many to help any way they can."

What bothered me most about last night was watching Matthew Mitchell out coach our staff. He is a former Vol grad assistant and a proven commodity. I wonder if we even reached out to him or any other veteran coaches for our opening.
