I’ve prob missed it in your posts but how did you react? Was it immediate pain or were you just in shock? That’s a hell of a wound

Honestlt thought it was just an impact hit. Severe pain wasn't immediate.
Home alone so had to walk to neighbors. She freaked a little but extremely helpful. I was too shaky for phone use, kept missing by a number.
I had no choice but to stay calm to explain tourniquet etc., to her.

I was useless but calm, she was freaked out but completely helpful. Together, it worked out.
 
So with Trey, Brandon, and Cade departing for greener pastures, who in their right mind believes we can be better even with a better QB play. With the 22 class supposed to be very good, waiting one year will only make it harder to secure the best class possible. Pull the trigger
Cade gone?
 
Personally I hope Shrout starts tomorrow and torches them for 3 quarters. HB plays the 4th after we are up 41-0.
41-0 would bring some serious false hope to many that aren’t paying close attention. Might even get Pruitt a new extension and raise from our incompetent AD.
 
what kind of wood are you using? I play too and the thought of building my own guitar would be awesome!

Maple that I cut down on my property as a top wood. Like a Les Paul. Going to buy Mahogany over in Knoxville for the base.

Built my 1st out of pine for practice. The maple is much harder, hence the kickback (imo)
 
Ok guys if a change is made I want to pick everybody's brain about what type of person we need at UT. I know we all want HC experience preferably at the P5 level but here's the thing pretty much all schools have money now so to grab a standing successful HC it's going to be more about what power and authority we are going to give. But I've kinda changed my thinking on what I think we need.

First off I think whoever we bring in needs to be a very good people person with all the duties outside of football that the HC at UT has to deal with from administration to boosters, community appearances and so on we need someone who can build and maintain great relationships with staff and everyone around the program.

But my biggest change of mind came from hearing Saban post LSU. He made a comment about losing to LSU last year and how LSU thought they could come in and have success against Bama and how he had to fix that. I honestly think Saban success all bulls down to one thing. Alabama became personal to him. Every success every misstep he takes personally. I really think that's what UT needs is someone that UT would become personal for, not a resume builder, not some dude trying to prove he can be successful like his daddy, someone that takes every win, every loss , every misstep to heart. Someone that lives and breathes this University.
 
Of course all anyone cares about right now is what is going to happen at season’s end. What will this staff look like moving forward? That’s the million dollar question for sure. One thing for sure is it won’t look like it does now.

Based on contracts if Tennessee accepts a bid to a bowl game, then the assistant coaches are set to get an 8.33% bonus of their salary. In talking to people, we believe the staff would turn down their bowl bonus if the Vols end up in postseason play. Pruitt also said this week there’s nothing new in regards to assistants take pay cuts.

Everyone but Jay Graham and Tee Martin refused to take pay cuts starting back on November 1st. Interesting in that there’s an amendment to Graham’s contract announcing the pay cut, but an amendment to Martin’s contract with the pay cut information has not been posted. Pruitt left the door open that there might be cuts when he said back in November that the final story hadn’t been written yet. This week he said it would be looked at after the season.

The bowl games we feel are most likely for the Vols would be the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa on December 26th, the Music City Bowl on December 30th and the Birmingham bowl on New Years Day.
