Tennessee has rivals within the SEC that more than compensate for in-state rivalries. Yes, 'bama-Auburn/Georgia-Ga.Tech/Florida-FSU/UK-Louisville etc... are intriguing from a distance and get lots of media attention; which is fun. But-as I travel the South, it seems Floridians, Georgians...

...I just placed my wife in a facility last week. I could no longer keep her at home, though I had hired a service to stay with her while I travel for work. It is horrific to watch Alzheimers unfold and consume someone you love...

The Cotton Bowl participants-Florida and Oklahoma provide a stark contrast of two fully functioning athletic departments-vs-the current dysfunction of Tennessee. All three are well-funded, legacy-rich schools; in football and other athletic endeavors. Unfortunately for UT, poor leadership...

...don't be surprised if another Cincinnati HC isn't a "player" for the job-if it becomes available.

Sumlin ? He's made a fortune at A&M and Arizona. His future is in the media if he chooses; not coaching.

...a well-managed and well-led athletic operation would have already made the decision to part ways; access the money, and have a working list of candidates for HC and possibly, AD. We shall see...

Indiana. Tennessee beat them in the Gator Bowl; yeah-I saw it then simply as a "status quo" win over a lucky, one-off "basketball school". Not how it turned out. I assumed after we'd dispatched the Hoosiers, we'd made a statement that we were on the way back and, schools like Indiana could...

...this is reaching the point where only an Urban Meyer can salvage the program within 2-4 seasons.

I'm a Fox Business viewer-I'm all about Susan Li and Liz Claman.

Please. Missouri was much better prepared to win the game than was Tennessee. Many of us (myself included) have trouble accepting Missouri as a legitimate SEC "player"-yet, they're positioned to return to Atlanta in a few weeks. Losses like this one again show how badly this program was...

...hate to say it but, next season may be Jones' "hot-seat" season IF things do not show significant progress. Progress ? To me-that's not losing at home to floundering SEC programs; winning a game as an underdog on the road OR at home and certainly-not being out of a game early in the...
