He is saying ain't but ain't ain't no word according to the English language who we fought in the American Revolution. This according to the 12 pack of Bush Beer I'm drinking that really is spelled Busch according to some posters! Go Vols! Win the Tennessee River! :p

He is saying alright, not ain't. Maybe you should change the beer you drink.

A'ight is a nice catch phrase used by CJP and Vol fans love it. They will love it as long as he wins.

If he doesn't it's just another "brick by brick".

Actually, it's how we say alright over here

Not many of us go around saying Brick by Brick

Like we say y'all and some say you'ns

Round lunch time every day, you'll hear somebody say
"hey didja eat yet, naw, didju? You'ant to. Aight."

I've heard it used many times in the south, and when I played mmo with a bunch of guys from Scotland.

It was a nervous tick in his presser like most people use “uhh” or “y’know”. I dont think it’s a habit for him though. I’ve listened to other interviews that are more one on one and he didn’t use it at all.

A'ight is not Southern, it's ebonic. Someone else pointed out "awright" as being Southern slang. Originally "aight" was Australian slang. Who cares what Pruitt is trying to say as long as the players get the message (and I guess their parents).

He’s perfect.

Post of the most was

“I just tackled my Christmas Tree”

During a VN live blog post of the presser.

2nd place was:

“He’s got the media doing push ups!”

Imagine he speaks pretty clearly but on logical note, aite is probably something he does when he's nervous. Kind of like umm or well is used when people are nervous speaking but gives a damn!!? I'm glad we got a redneck as a coach. It's about damn time.

It's Appalachian english brought to us by the ulster Scots. If you look at Appalachia as a state Saban, Pruitt, Majors, Fulmer, and Spurrier, are all from the same state.
