    Bill Haslam on Butch Jones

    Wait a minute.... As an Academic Advisor for 16 years and a supervisor of Academic Advisors presently, I'm not so sure about that. Maybe, but I would not make that statement definitively.

    UGA Game on SEC Network

    I just finished re-watching that game today too. (watched he first half last weekend) Getting ready for the upcoming season. I did delete it off the DVR. That dropped TD pass by the Georgia player in the 4th quarter.......had forgotten that.

    Oklahoma ROLL CALL.

    28 year Vol fan. First time seeing a Vol Football game in-person. Coming in from Tempe, AZ (see Tony Basilio blog 9/10 "Tee mail" for how/why I'm able to get to the game) Just found out where I'm sitting (TODAY 9/10) - Section T Row 29 - around seat 22? I'm humbled and so thankful. Doug

    VOLS in other cities besides Knoxville

    I'm originally from Olney, IL - mother is still there. I fly into Evansville occasionally when I visit. She had surgery at Deaconess Jan 2014. Saw a woman in the cafeteria with a Tennessee shirt on - she seemed a little too distressed to give her a "Go Vols" - additionally I've seen an SUV...

    VOLS in other cities besides Knoxville

    Tempe, AZ. Rarely run into any Vols fans. Usually at Sky Harbor airport. More often run into Vol fans/connections at work (Arizona State U.) If a student has a Vol connection and is in my office - they say something. just met a student today who has family in Martin and Knoxville - she said...

    When you see other Vol fans...

    I'm in AZ - whenever I see someone wearing anything Vols/Tennessee - I will give them a "Go Vols" Funniest thing I have had a stranger Vol fan say to me - Was in the Atlanta (Jan 2014) Airport wearing a power T hoodie - I'm actually walking in an area where no one is really around or...

    Vols in Phoenix

    I'm in Tempe. Work at ASU. My connection to UT - did an internship in UT's Dept. of Residence Halls in Summer 1987. I'm originally from southern IL (closer to Nashville than Chicago) and graduated from Eastern IL U. Tennessee was by first connection to big time college football - have been a...

    Saban on Butch

    I don't think Lincoln was all that involved in the Vietnam War as he established the Navy SEALs and had a vision for a counter insurgency with Special forces....Now Pres (Andrew) Johnson - he was too busy with Vietnam as he escalated the conflict and sent in ground troops. As this is a...

    We came out strong after the half / 2nd half adjustments (merged)

    My thoughts exactly. Never felt I saw half-time adjustments or motivation from the Vols after half time for the past few years.

    Tennessee Wins Hottest Girls Title

    As an ASU (Tempe) employee since 2000 and previously from 1989-93 (who works directly with students). I can verify your former co-worker/UGA alum's perspective. Once you realize they could be your daughter (age) - it does change how one sees them, though. (That hit me about 10 years ago)...

    '13 GA QB Josh Dobbs (UT signee)

    I started working at ASU in 1990. ASU has become a lot different than the (academic) joke it may have been 25 years ago. Engineering college is very good. W.P. carey School of Business (my current employer) is a top 25 Business school with a top 5 Supply Chain Mgt program and recently a number...

    How would you rank

    I'm not sure what I would rate him at this point, but I do like what I see. I am employed at Arizona State U and I am seeing some parallels with what ASU Football went through last year..... ASU football 2011 - beats USC - huge expectations - crash and burns the last half of the season - and...

    2013 NC WR Marquez North (UT signee)

    Ratings are the reality for higher education everywhere - not just TN. Also with the number of law school applicants decreasing nation-wide, it is probably an intelligent move for UTK Law to down-size. They may not be shutting out out as many future students as it appears. Its also about...
