Well, it's a known fact that we lost Chris Clarke due to the investigation. If not directly, then certainly indirectly (Va Tech poisoned the water for us.) Is CDT trying to replace him with a similarly regarded and talented player? I hope so. Also, hopefully some of the positive vibes from our...

Have you guys not seen this quote from Super Bowl MVP and QB Tom Brady? Not sure how anyone can say that CMD hasn't coached quarterbacks: “The University of Tennessee has hired a great offensive coordinator in Mike DeBord,” Tom Brady, the former Wolverine quarterback, said. “Mike was my...

My top 5: Ernie Grunfeld and Bernard King (tie for first) Mike Jackson Dale Ellis Chris Lofton

I heard Jimmy Hyams on the same morning show today on 104.5 and took away something very different. He said it remains to be seen whether Donnie Tyndall will survive or not. He did not say this as definitively as stated above.

Some seem confused that this is hurting UT financially, when the opposite is actually the case. Tennessee is coming out approximately $650K to the good on this change. We were going to pay UAB the $925K, but instead, when they breeched the contract, they are now paying us that amount as...

Does anyone know why Willie Carmichael played so little? The way CDT sounded early-on, Willie was pushing for a starting spot. Based on last night, he's barely in the rotation. Seems to me that we could have used him in last night's game.

Sorry, Justin Worley won the competition fair and square. So get over it. And, according to everything I hear, Dobbs is more likely third string rather than second. Go Vols!

My mistake ... Kosmalski's SEC championship was in 1972, not 1974. My point still holds.

Len Kosmalski would have to be considered in the Top Ten. He was a three-time All-SEC selection, led the Vols to an SEC championship in 1974 and became a longtime NBA player. I'd put him in the Top Ten along with Ron Widby, Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld, Dale Ellis, Reggie Johnson, Tony White...

Dykes is actually complimenting him and saying he is a game changer. He is also just saying the same thing CCM has said all along ... JS is not in game shape, doesn't know the plays, etc. What's clear is that he is a beast. Welcome Jarnell. GO VOLS!!!

Regarding timing of an announcement, I would say it has everything to do with tonight's NC game. Anything that is announced today will get buried in a short matter of hours with all the NC - and worse, LSU and Bama - talk. Since it's a lock that an SEC team will win the NC, getting some...

Dalton Santos just tackled Alton Pig Howard. Lets hope that's a regular occurance between those two at practices on The Hill in the future. They announced it was Dalton's sixth tackle of the game with under two minutes left in the 4th quarter. Go Vols!

One thing that seems to have changed is that the students don't go to every game anymore. While Tennessee - being a huge school - always had certain groups who didn't attend sports events, for many of us a typical Saturday in the fall was to get out of bed (usually with a hangover,) get dressed...
