Sat in front of one of the guys that works with the audio at Bristol in Tampa and got a lot of cool info about what all they're doing to the track. Apparently the night after the last race they have an army of dump trucks mobilized to come in and start dumping dirt immediately. Also, apparently...

Switch Hall and Tuttle (pre-injury of course) and that's about where I'd have it. That being said, all 5 of these guys are going to be serious players for us. I honestly didn't expect to see Chance Hall or Jennings even see the field when they first got here. Jack Jones is a monster, that's all...

Big surprise, but I have to say rugby tackling is much more effective in my opinion, even if the video didn't necessarily demonstrate that. It always helped me to put the v of my shoulder and neck on the upfield hip, wrap, and drive through, the way you're taught in rugby, because worse comes to...

Exactly. That hit on Tuttle was just dirty. As a former O-lineman, there's no excuse for hitting a guy in the back of the knee in that instance. That was a dirty hit. I'm sure there were instances of questionable hits on both sides throughout the game, but that was uncalled for. I saw Shy on...

I was really impressed with the BG quarterback. I honestly thought it was going to be a Chuckie Keeton situation and he was going to be overrated, but he was legit. He made some great throws that would have been tough for a lot of SEC DB's not named Sutton or Hargreaves to defend.That being...

Watched his film earlier. Kid looks really solid. Definitely wouldn't take him over KD, but I think he'd definitely be a solid addition to the WR corps that's already stacked to the gills. From just looking at his film I think he could possibly warrent a look at DB, most of his highlights were...

It all depends on the personnel match ups. A lot of high schools have converted soccer players kicking the ball away for them. If your punter is garbage I can understand not punting a lot of the time. But if you get stopped on your side of the 50 then I can't fathom why anybody wouldn't punt it...

As a middle Tennessee guy that played with Bo Wallace and against Dont'a Hightower (for all four years, it was awful) I was always surprised that a lot more coaches weren't scowering the midstate in search of talent. Nashville is one of the fastest growing areas in the country and I'm happy to...

JMO, but I feel like Butch had no choice but to start Worley at the beginning of last year. As far as he knew, Worley was the most consistent option he had, and from reading the practice reports, nobody knew what Dobbs was capable of and he needed time to grow and develop. To the topic at hand...

I've tried to temper my expectations about ending the streak until I see it. But, I've caved to the inevitable, like I've done for the past decade, and have managed to convince myself that this is indeed the year it all comes to a screeching halt. I'm all in. It's going to be all the sweeter to...

I came to Knoxville to start school in the fall of 2008. I have known almost nothing but heartache and misery (as it pertains to football and our beloved Vols) literally the entire time I've lived in Knoxville. I was living in the blue house on Clinch and Agee when Kiffen split for USC in the...

It's definitely true that you can only be as good and aggressive as the talent on your team allows you to be. I think Butch now has the playmakers to where he can play the aggressive style of ball that he wants to play. There's definitely been a few head-scratchers with the decision to punt...

I'm assuming with a healthy North and Pearson (I think he ends up starting regardless) out wide that Pig will get a lot of looks from the slot. He's one of the best guys we have from a reliability and big-play standpoint. That being said I'm sure North and Pearson see a LOT of balls thrown their...

Colonel Shields was the donor that provided the $ for the first field in 1919. Glad my first post could utilize that history major. And to the topic, I think the street is enough. But I do think Peyton should have one a few years after he retires (and hopefully comes back to be our OC).
