Who is Tony Basillio by the way? Is this an east Tennessee name?

[Brave Volunteer]

I love Tony B. show. He's done everything right in my opinion. He called it on Bama Dave on retiring. It's a really fun show to listen. I love his passion of UT. You can hear in his voice when he speaks about the VOLS...... He's a breath of fresh air for me. I live in middle TN. The radio up here is not that. So I listen to a lot sports shows out Knoxville. I loved TSR it was a great program. I miss Chris Treece on air as well. He was great. Just my 2 cents. I love y'all Volnation!!!!

Geez, I forgot all about Treece! I hate what went down with him. I hope all is well with him.

--Wants every coach at UT fired

Which coaches in our athletic programs really deserve to stay?

 

[UT's#1Fan]

He went to UT, but is originally from up north, I believe Philadelphia. He has long bought time on local radio and sold the show himself. He does a good job firing up a certain segment of the fanbase by ranting on whatever the overreaction of the day is. He claims to have sources, but pretty much culls his information from message boards and spits it back out on his show and website.

What's your bases for such a claim? The irony is you're just regurgitating what's been said on here about Tony.

Said he's been hearing that Gilbert will get the AD job.. Its in his blog. Haven't read it yet

Said it went from 90-10 Blackburn to more like 60-40 Blackburn with Barnes and Jones pushing hard for gilbert!

Yeah, i dont want my coaches comfortable with their boss, i want them to feel nervous and have a fire lit under their butt, so they dont get complacent..

Barnes is, Jones isn't.

Still think it's 90-10 for Blackburn.

Ha, Hey I came back to see what you wrote. By the way, where's the best place to stay for a game at Phillips Arena?

The OP regularly starts threads that make it seem as if he ate paint and then decided to share a thought. Forgive people if they are a little irritable with him.

lol:

Lol @ "character assassinations". I'm sure he's a good guy. I've just never been that entertained by his brand of schtick.

why? it's so "next leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeellllll".

Years of observation and knowing him personally.
