I've enjoyed the great dialogs y'all have here on lots of subjects and rarely ever post but...

Good for Douglas. Great character and I know his dad is proud of him.

On Orgeron...come on...y'all LOVED Orgeron when he played cut-throat/take-no-prisoners/rules-be-damned for the Big Orange. Don't even deny it. You freaking loved him swashbuckling across HS campuses, pushing the envelope of recruiting rules well beyond design tolerance. You knew what he was but you didn't care. You aided and abetted him with your silence (at worst) and your outright admiration (at best). It was a Faustian bargain. Regret it, OK. But don't get too high-minded about what Orgeron is. You knew what he was when you picked him up, as they used to say about the rattlesnake.

Suddenly, a lot of y'all are getting awful righteous when it comes to ethics and recruiting and for the last 14 months, not only didn't it matter, you supported it and shouted down people who have voiced concerns about Ogre and Kiffy. I'm here enough to have seen it time after time, and I've experienced it live with friends.

I think Dooley will play to win, hard and competitive, but I don't see him being a liar and an ethical snake. I hope he makes UT competitive in every way, the right way. The SEC needs a strong Tennessee. Good luck.

Young man really moved up in his teamates eyes, and in ours. Good job big fella. Everyone let him know come Orange-White game. This is the kind of dedication and total disrespect for B.S. that UT needs.

You gotta know they don't want to hear this because everyone at Volnation have all the right answers!!! Can't love Fulmer but know he needs to leave you get bashed, can't say anything about the out going staff because they are the next coming, current staff is not worth a crap until presser then some jump on the wagon!!! This is a fickle bunch good luck because they have a mind of their own!!!!

According to John Brice of VolQuest on “The Nation” during X’s last team meeting with the team Aaron Douglas stood up and led the team. The exchange, according to Brice went like this:

X was telling them how sorry he was and that Tennessee meant a lot to him.

Then after O called the first recruit Douglas stood up and said, “Why is this guy calling OUR recruits?”

X responded: “I have no knowledge of that.”

Douglas then told the recruits to tell X what O did and they put O on speaker.

X: “I can’t control what Coach O does.”

Douglas: “Well you hired him didn’t you?”

Brice said this was the conversation minus the language he also said other players were impressed with his leadership and he was a great leader. I’m glad Aaron Douglas is in orange and white and he will be a great player for us.

I'm a little slow and not too bright, so someone is going to have to break this down for me.

While Kiffin was telling the team he was leaving, Orgeron just happened to be there in the room calling recruits? How did Douglas know to bring that up if it wasn't going on right there in front of them?

Ogre was in his office at USC on the telephone with current UT ee's... at the same time across the country, X was meeting with the team giving his farewell speech...Douglas I assume knew that Ogre was on the phone with a recruit...so he brought it up to X in the meeting.... very coincidental but it has been confirmed...

The thing that kills me is X lied to the entire country about knowing this...whoever the reporter at X's presser grilling him about the ee questions should receive some of this info...

I wonder which recruit it was...it would top it all off if it was Bray...

Best post I've ever read on any site. Kudo's and I'm right there with ya. I didn't want EO here to begin with, but you are exactly right. Many of the bashers were lovers of his until he tried to screw UT over.

"X" was a pr--k, but at that time he was our pr--k and we put up with him, although we were embarrassed at times.


Q---Why does "X" wear a visor?

A---To cover his circumcision scar!

Yes, that is true; however, you love your wife until you find out she ran off with your father!
