Hey Jackson... I’ve determined to look at it like an NFL move. He’s been hired to do a job. We didn’t ask him to marry us. Lol... as long as he honors our traditions, history and maxims and wins games, I’m okay with him. He’s a hired gun. Now, he may fall in love with TN the way all of us did and if so, that’s even better. But right now, we need a pure football coach to take us further than the last 2 clowns could. It just so happens he’s a bammer.

I know Rev and I'm trying. I just had higher hopes I guess and wouldn't mind as much if he played at some other school. :)

I’m with ya man. It stings. But you know, I’m sick of losing more than I’m sick of Bama. I’m sick of being pitied by my family who are gamecock fans. I’m tired of lacking any kind of killer instinct. He seems to have all of that. So if he can remove this nasty taste from my mouth, I’ll accept him. 👊

Also, I hate Florida WAY MORE than I do Bama. At least Bama has a history. Florida fans act like they’ve been relevant longer than 25 years.

Here is the right spot but you might enjoy looking at the recruiting forum discussion thread. The posters there can be a little rough around the edges but there is good coach and recruit info there.

Some days are tougher than others. Add a little bit of vodka, and I get all weepy.

Anyway, my husband went to a boarding school out your way. I can't remember the name of it, but I'm almost certain it was near Phoenix.

Grief is a process, not an event, methinks.

I have only been here about 8 yrs. I don't like it any more

I will come around, it's just going to take me a little longer than most I guess. I also hate losing to lesser teams when we were feared in college football not so long ago but it seems like forever since we have been relevant.

I'm the exact opposite. Florida has nothing to brag about and we know it, but Alabubba does. They will always be at the top of my hate list.

Don't hate me but I don't really care for the maxims. :dunno:

The maxims aren't intended to be hollow words recited before tapping "I will give my all for Tennessee today." They are a part of winning football. Ask the teams of the late 30s - early 40s (if you could), the ones who held their opponents scoreless for 71 consecutive quarters. This is what the maxims are about and much more.

Y'all try to behave, a little tonight. You're waking the neighbors with you loud music and drunken carrying on. Don't make me report you all to Coasty. It'll be a bad day then.
