I might be panicing

i too, have memphis season tickets, as my dad is a grad of memphis state. I love going to football games with dad, and choose going to memphis games many times over going to knoxville just because of him. But I was wearing orange last year as well, and get this guys, I even had my piggie of a wife from fayettville wearing an orange ut shirt! I trying to convert her, but it is a little more difficult than I thought it would be.

You think living in Shebly County and being a vol is tough, try moving into Arkansas and wearing orange!

LOL lived in Little Rock 10 years.

but I am worried about the future. GA, Ala, Fla, LSU, SC, Aub, all have an in state recruiting base we do not have in TN. I live in the Mmephis area and I doubt there are 6 players UT would be interested in. Ole Miss and UofMemphis get the majority and you can see where they are. Fulmer gets a lot of greif for his coaching but who would you replace him with that can nationally recruit? I am afraid our days of raiding neighbor states is coming to an end. I say worried count that up. looks like a 5 and 7 season to me.

I dont think that Gruden is any Pete Carroll. Those are two different personalities. I have no idea how Gruden would do here, but if he does come I hope he does better than he has at Tampa year to year.

He'll recruit 7 QBs a year

I still dont know why Florida got like 2 of the top QB's this year with Tebow only being a Sophmore. I can hear someone transferring now.

I think Clemson and SC will get the talent the vols got in past years. Hope I am wrong on all points about neighboring state recruiting.

1/3 of the players we have right now (believe me or not) their parents / coaches called UT to come and watch them and gave Fulmer the hint first. Fulmer will go anywhere. hamilton will let him go anywhere to recruit. Right out of SanDiego came Arian (guess who called...his coach during his 10th grade season) different story for different coaches. I know one thing...everyone is calling Florida and Urban right now, scares me
