I was a student on campus when Bertelkamp was a star on the basketball team. I happened to run into him at Ruby Tuesday's on Cumberland during a raucous happy hour and he was extremely gracious and we talked for a while and had a lot of fun. I will always fondly remember hanging out with him...

I had forgotten that Purdue had 33 free throws vs TN's 11 in that Elite 8 game. The zebras took over the game.

I'll never forget when they unveiled the sign in Neyland Stadium at the 2005 Vandy game that commemorated the retirement of Doug Atkin's jersey - the sign read "Doug Adkins". This glaring typo required a whole bunch of boneheads to miss the fact that his name was misspelled. This kind of...

When we were out of position on defense during a play my old football coach used to tell us that we were like a fart in a whirlwind.

I remember seeing Bernard King go for a monster dunk at Stokely. He missed the dunk but the ball ricocheted high enough to almost hit the ceiling. I also remember going through class registration in Stokely. Good times.

I'll never forget my very wise father's advice - "Son, always tell the truth but you don't have to tell everything you know."

Who's the best? It will always be a matter of opinion but ask yourself this - who would you rather go drink a beer with? if anyone says Tom Brady turn in your man card now.

A little background on Austin Pope and what he and his family have been through: CAK

Butt hurt Auburn fan on another site - this from the school that outbid Miss. St. for Cam Newton: Isn't it interesting that he commits to Tennessee the same time Payton donates $3M to the school.. Makes you know who paid the most for him.

I'm an old MHS grad and reading this thread from beginning to end was thoroughly enjoyable - thanks guys!

I heard it - that was Heather Harrington stating that she thought Kahlil will be converted into an OT. She obviously hasn't seen the video from the Nike combine where Kahlil was just wearing out the OTs and tossing them around like little rag dolls.

Inky's injury was very serious and he was close to death afterwards and it really was a miracle that he didn't die. I don't recall all of the details but he writes of this in detail in his book.

I'm a TN boy through and through but I did marry a MI gal and I can tell you after many trips to MI that it has a lot in common with TN. There's a lot of good folk up there much like east TN. I've even got a lot of my MI in-laws sporting TN t-shirts and watching TN games.

Have to agree about the Gruden QB show - and I root for Tyler Bray but it was depressing watching Gruden who is always fired up trying to fire up Bray and about all Bray could muster was staring at his shoelaces and mumbling barely audible affirmative grunts. The impression I got was that Tyler...

I'm from TN and have always been a TN fan - having said that I'm flat out embarrassed by some of these folks who are ready to collapse in a heap and ball their heads off over a bit of a rough spot. TN football will survive and it will be relevant again but it may take a little time. Quit being...
