When the tax increase on smokes took the price up about $1.50 more per pack and pair that with having a infant son with a breathing issues did the trick fine. However not a day goes by that I don't think about them...oh and my son is in perfect health..praise God.

Quit cold turkey. Had a bad throat infection one night, thought I had cancer, begged God to help me put em down for good, and threw away a fresh opened pack as I pulled into the driveway...never looked back...can be in a room full of em and not get an urge...

I'm fascinated with the Bobby P hatred. UT fans would forgive him when he starts winning. JMO.

I tend to agree with that - doesn't mean I want him.

The whole John L experiment has only helped Petrino IMO. shows how much of an impact he really has...

We don't have anything to forgive him for. I hope the guy has learned a few life lessons....I'm just afraid he is a narcissist. Of course...most of the great ones are. Hence the appeal of Gruden.

I am going to state something from personal experience. If Gruden was, in fact, looking at houses in Knoxville with his wife, then you can pretty much chalk this up as a done deal unless Cheek ar Hart do something stupid (always a possibility, I know).

Here is why, and all of the married guys and gals can attest to it. When you get a local girl excited about moving home to be close to her family, you better be ready to follow it through to completion if you want a happy wife.

A few years ago I would have said no to someone like Booby P. , but I am tired of losing. I just want to win....

Exactly. In fact, most Arkansas fans I know (there aren't many) would take Petrino back in a heartbeat. They have tasted winning and realize he's probably the only coach that can win at that level at Arkansas. I tend to agree.

I think that is solid reasoning...because I'm currently experiencing said scenario.

It's not like he doesn't have enough $$$ to have a second or 3rd house either; so not sure how much I would put on that.
