I guess with a name like “I am a Leave a” we should have known he wasn’t going to last long.

The only way I see the Lady Vols becoming an instant title contender is if some of the Vols men “transition” to become Lady Vols.

What I should have said was Coach Harper has topped out on her abilities. The Lady Vols will probably win 20 games or so on the season, which on a national level is pretty good but for us is just an adequate job. I am not sure she is the answer to our championship aspiration. We are good but...

I have just tuned in the Lady Vols game and am really disappointed in what I am watching. These players are light years away from the types of players Tennessee used to bring in. We are so slow, make a ton of mistakes, and have little in offensive creativity and basketball IQ. Where are the...

What I have witnessed and have watched for years played out again tonight, they just don’t play much as a team. No question they have and continue to bring in some talented players but the offense seems stagnant a lot, not much moving and cutting, using screens well, poor IQ ball. They never...

There is something about Tennessee players, for as long as I can remember, that we just can’t make key plays, make stupid mistakes, and just are not as disciplined as other top teams. We are often times our own worst enemy, it just never seems to change, and I would love to know how our players...

I will be happy with a solid win with the defense dominating somehow. 31-10.

As a Vol fan since 1980, I have seen major programs at the pinnacle only to fall down, way down. Tennessee is definitely not the only program struggling to make it back on top. Nebraska used to be the bully in the neighborhood, not any more. Penn State, Michigan, Texas, USC, Florida State...

I still say that Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern, Josh Heupel at UCF and Dave Clawson at Wake Forest Are my off the radar picks. Heupel obviously already has had a working relationship with White. All good coaches, run clean programs, builders and good recruiters and well respected.

Tennessee is not the only big time program to fall in a rut of mediocrity for 10-15 years. Nebraska used to be the big bully on the block, not any more. Same for Michigan, Texas and Penn State. PSU lost their first five games this year. Since Pete Carroll left USC, they have been mediocre as...

Why would you say that?

I say go in a different direction. How about Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern, Josh Heupel at UCF or Dave Clawson at Wake Forest? All program builders with successful records at difficult locations.

My goodness that was brutal to watch. LV basketball has fallen so very far. UCONN will win by 20-25 easily.

Wow, this is the first time I have watched the Lady Vols play, and they look terrible. Pat Summitt must be shouting profanities in heaven. No movement, terrible passes, little hustle, not much speed and athleticism.

We need the football equivalent to Rick Barnes. A proven winner who can build a program who has recently been kicked to the curb or recently stepped down. I am thinking Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer, Les Miles, Gus Malzahn, etc. No more hoping they do well, we need proven.
