Every time I see mention of checker Neyland I think of how much more I would love to see nothing but a pure solid wave of orange in the stands for a big game.

Byron Young.

Probably the same way he knew Pruitt was going to be fired when 95% of the Knoxville sports talk market said Pruitt was solid in his job.

Gary Patterson from TCU would fit this mold perfectly. Proven winner that has peaked given the resources and talent available at TCU. Give him a shot to move up and see what he can do here.

Going after a Texas coach isn’t a bad idea - you just have the wrong coach in mind. If Tennessee wants to get rid of Pruitt, it needs to hire a proven winner at head coach that has peaked at his current location. Gary Patterson is exactly that. He could be our football Barnes. Sure, it isn’t...

Geez guy, you act like these young men are property owned by UT. Get a grip on reality. They are 18-22 year old guys who have lives and their health to care for going forward. I want football as much as anyone but the school isn’t going to make anyone play if they are seriously concerned there...

I’m not assuming my immune system can’t fight off COVID-19. Most likely I’ll be fine unless I suffer lung damage from the disease because I’m a healthy person in my mid-thirties. I just don’t want to be sick for a month and put my family and others I work with at risk to go watch a football...

Hopefully you aren’t insinuating that I am fearmongering because that is not my intent. I am only writing about basic, common sense concerns with returning to large crowds while a highly contagious virus most of us have no antibodies for is out there. I think your major difference with my view...

I would love nothing more than to be in Neyland Stadium as soon as possible but I don’t think it’s a great idea. It would literally take one infected person shedding the virus to sneeze, cough, or scream (likely expelling viral aerosols forward) without masking to expose everyone in their direct...

I think it’s kind of odd to single out any single college undergraduate program as incapable of preparing a person for a career. I noticed the earlier poster mentioned philosophy as a useless major and it made me chuckle. I majored in philosophy at UT in undergraduate. That major increased my...

Swain and Basilio!

Beverly with the weird call of the night...

Swain in the morn, Basilio 11-1.

Wife is from Ripley. Looking forward to seeing WVU friends in Charlotte in a few weeks!

I’ll be driving to Charlotte to meet some friends for a great weekend capped with a BIG ORANGE VICTORY!
