Just wanted to let y’all know that they are moving my dad from ICU to a room with Hospice. Hated watching him go through this last week, but he has been blessed with perfect health for 86 years...worst he ever had was the sniffles or stomach virus. Neither ever stopped him. We know where he is going and great rewards are waiting this good and faithful servant of the Lord. Love you all! @VOLSONLY

Notes from today's Big Orange Sunday show. Doug Mathews considers himself to be a glass half full guy so he is usually positive in his comments.
- Spring game will probably be in Knoxville. Initially thought it would be a Nissan stadium but now appears it will be in K-town and will be an event rather than a game. Didn't elaborate on the "event" and said would have more information in the coming weeks as spring practice occurs (starts Mar 22).
- Stadium update: Taking out seats in the North end zone so the new large vision screen can be installed under the overhang (instead of on top of the overhang). Reason given was did not want to obscure seeing Ayers Hall Tower from those in South end (river) zone seats. He had not heard that before.
- Recruiting: Lots of players and their families there yesterday. Didn't have the opportunity last year due to late hire and covid so this is the first year to reach out to juniors. CJH is following the Gen. Neyland and CPF recruiting strategy - 1) Focus on getting a high % of the best in TN; 2) recruit GA hard; 3) recruit western NC hard and 4) strong presence in Ky, Bama, and FLa. Ideally pull 18-20 recruits from first three. Likes CJH and what he is doing though the question remains if CJH can be a relentless recruiter. Time will tell.
- Said a rule change is coming that will allow the D to substitute after every first down regardless if the O is trying to uptempo. Feels it is a health issue as you cannot have DL playing 10-12 plays with no stoppage in plays. (admitted he is a D coach so he would like this rule)
- Covered OL and said Vols return 4 of 5 starters with only RT to be a new starter. Mentioned Jeremiah Crawford, Dayne Davis (said he was limited) and Gerald Mincey as the prime candidates. Said there are 9 OL who have 3 yrs or more eligibility remaining and should see improvement over last year (called last year's OL average). Said G-C-G will be the strength.
- Bill Justus mentioned freshmen played 92 of the 200 minutes in yesterday's game. Only 2 seniors on the team so majority of team could return. Thinks Chandler will have a problem in NBA due to lack of height.

Interesting… Coaches that I know would love that substitution rule would be Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Bret Bielema, David Shaw, Napier, and anyone else that loves to slow the game down. I love the old school ball but we’ve got to have some balance in there with strategy and teams with lesser talent that like to go tempo as well

Hi everyone, I don’t post too often but I’m in need of prayers. My wife just gave birth to our baby boy 3 days ago. He is now being taken to Vanderbilt for heart surgery. We are so devestated and it’s been so difficult to live with. We just are in need of a lot of prayers that he will be okay and be back home with us soon

Prayers lifted for his healing and you and your wife's comfort.

Funny you say that. David Shaw is the coach on the committee pushing this.

So instead of penalizing fake injuries they reward those that do by giving them opportunities to sub, therefore penalizing up tempo teams. Saban is writing the rules.

This rule will hurt any team trying to run hurry up at the end of half or trying score quick due to being behind.

Prayers for your precious baby boy, and your entire family for comfort, peace and healing and prayers for the surgeon that God's touch is on him/her as well.
