Did the explosion on 2nd ave knock out some towers for at&t?

The explosion was right in front of an AT&T hub building. Major outages in the mid-state, and also took out a lot of 911 services across the state. They hope to have some emergency power to the building ASAP, but it’s currently not structurally sound enough to go in and assess the damage. Also apparently there’s standing water on every floor, as well as the basement. Last I read, they hope to have basic services by mid next week.

If Pruitt comes back next year, then I’d say he’s likely here for the next 2. Mainly because we are probably going to have to offer a 2 year deal at minimum to any assistants we bring in, especially if we are able to persuade any coaches worth anything to jump onboard.

We badly need to pull the plug, and hire a new HC in order to sell a little hope to that ‘22 class.

And if everything I’ve heard about Fulmer as AD is true, he needs to be given his walking papers ASAP as well.[/QUOTED]
Yep, their fingers crossed for 6-6. Wishing they don't have to fire him for going 5-7 or worse. Hopefully Steven Godfrey was right and we have Napier all but locked up, be it this year or next. Bottom line, when it comes to Coaching hires and expectations, Tennessee needs to start acting like TENNESSEE and not USCe, Kentucky, or Vandy.

Sounds kind of like a goodbye. Hopefully it's Pruitt leaving and not Toot.

I hope it is Toot leaving, especially after reading some of the stupid ass comments on a Christmas picture of Pruitt’s family. This fan base doesn’t deserve a player on Toot’s level and honestly doesn’t deserve a coach worth a damn.

I get people don’t like Pruitt and he hasn’t won to the level that everyone wants, but to say some of the stupid $h!+ that was said on a Twitter post with CHRISTMAS PICTURE OF HIS FAMILY is ridiculous.

Grow the hell up!

One, I didn't read the comments. Two, some people are idiots. Three, don't blame the entire fanbase because some people are idiots. Four, don't become an idiot yourself by hoping he leaves.

None of us made stupid comments on his picture.

The ones who did are idiots that like to be noticed.

We’re free to criticize Pruitt on a message board for open discussion but it’s nothing personal. We just don’t think he’s a good football coach.

I wasn’t necessarily pointing at you, my bad if it came across that way.

I just don’t get the idea of piling on to players or coaches and it just pisses me off. Especially on a picture like that....it’s just insane!

These are my feelings as well. If Pruitt is retained, he’s here for two years.
