My post was a criticism of Danny for hiring Monica in the first place. No one liked her on The Hill. He should have recognized that, since he had employed her previously at UCF. She was a bad apple that never should have been given the job at UT. Greene, on the other hand, got the shaft at...

Cheek's vision was to ruin athletics. Stokely was torn down under his watch & replaced with a parking garage. We have no Hall of Fame building to speak of for fans to visit like Bama has with the Paul Bryant Museum. We also still have no indoor track practice facility now that Stokely is gone. I...

Barnes many times uses the media to telegraph comments to players who he's trying to motivate in an old school way. That includes Dilione & Estrella, who haven't yet learned what it takes to compete in the SEC, though Dilione was on the bench thru the entire SEC schedule last season. He is the...

Obviously, all of the doomsday scenarios regarding Freddie were wrong, as he was well enough to play several minutes against George Mason. No freshmen played against Illinois, but I expect FD to get several minutes in each of the next several games. We will need the depth he provides in SEC play...

Bad University presidents hire bad Chancellors who hire bad AD's who hire bad coaches. Jimmy Cheek was the worst administrator in UT history. His bad hires cost us millions of dollars in coaching severance packages, loss of championships, & lost donor & ticket & concessions revenue in football...

Now that Thompson-Boling Arena has been renamed Food City Center, there is another less well known rebranding that has occurred. Harper Auto Square is now sponsoring all of the floor seats in the arena, & have also put their name on what was formerly the Ray Mears Room, with murals of the iconic...

Neither team played any freshmen in this one, which is why Dilione, Estrella, Phillips, etc., didn't see the floor. The veterans showed they knew how to play well together & shut down the Illinois offense, holding them to 35% shooting for the game. Big win on the national CBS TV stage with Bill...

Kellie was an upgrade over Holly. However, her program appears stuck in neutral. Crowds have dwindled after being resurrected from the abysmal numbers we had. A family atmosphere has been restored in the newly named Food City Center, but big wins aren't happening. Danny White is very familiar...

Monica was a very bad fit at UT. An elitist part-black woman from an Ivy League school that never has learned Southern culture, even though she's been at 3 different SEC schools now. Allen Greene is a huge upgrade over her. Good riddance to someone who was woke, but wound up being cancelled...
