For years, the SEC has served as a training ground for NFL talent.

These days, SEC coaching staffs are running a reverse.

Obviously, Climer is not getting paid by the word. How about some articles with a bit of effort put into them? A three sentences article is WEAK!

Being from Middle Tenn, I must apologize you ya'll having to read Climer's trash. This is pretty much a typical column.
Disgraceful isn't it.

He is supposedly joining a Senior Leauge with Ernie, Bernie, The Dirt Dobber and Reggie Johnson.

PLEASE, no more Climer crossover!!!!!!!

The reason that Middle Tennesseans are over here on GVX and NOT on The Tennessean is CLIMER!

Maybe they could get a 3-BR and invite Finebaum too.

The Witch Doctor writes more coherently and does a better job with substance as well as structure.

Careful there BOV. If to many start taking to your opinion, the sportswriters association will get together and give him an award to prove you all wrong.
