    I can't support Butch anymore

    When Bear Bryant was once asked what had made him so successful in football he answered "Great assistant coaches". I never thought Fulmer was a great coach, but he may have been the greatest recruiter of his time and he had great assistants who did the coaching. Maybe that is what Butch needs to...

    Are There Any Butch Supporters Left?

    Haven't heard anyone ever talk about Butch's half time adjustments in the locker room. Does he do any at all?

    Nice! Can he catch a football?

    If I remember correctly Richmond Flowers was the person that got the NCAA looking into the rules on the scholarships. He was a 3 time All-American on our track team. Ran the hurdles. Missed the world record by 1/10th of a second. But best of all, his dad was the Attorney General...

    Dobbs is not the answer

    Guys, what is worrying me is that we could be turning off interests from our future corp of receivers that may have been watching us the past few games. People talking about how great a difference Dobbs has made with his running skills but mot much mentioned about his passing skills. Like you I...

    New rumors about Da'rick to Tenn Tech (confirmed)

    From what I could find out this morning Da'Rick has not been officially entered yet. The administration still has to do the paperwork and make some calls. Also, Tech's quarterback, Lamb, knows Da'Rick as his dad was one of Da'Ricks high school coaches.

    Enjoy and have a great day Volnation!

    A professor at the University of Alabama was giving a lecture on the super-natural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you...

    Congratulations War Eagles !!

    Auburn winning does help UT and every other team in the SEC. Why do you think the SEC has such a great TV contract. It's because we win. Each SEC team gets millions more because of this. Don't think we would be able to do a lot that we do without a piece of this giant pie. Let every team in the...

    LP Field Parking

    Just parked at the Ramada by the stadium last night for the Colts game. $40 was what they charged, so I would say park downtown and save the bucks. Think there is a shuttle that runs from downtown. I usually pay $10-$15 there.

    Are there any Vols prospects in the upcoming HS state championship game?

    Tech has out in a bid for the basketball championships but as of yesterday had not heard anything. Also a friend of mine is one of the local announcers for the football games and he is scheduled for Thursday night.

    Tennessee-Vanderbilt Preview / Game thread

    Was the technical foul really for just the hip check or was there more to it? That did not look like a flagrant foul to me, no worse than than a hip check on a pick
