Wilson in dream job with nightmare news

Tennessee's new wide receivers coach is having to adjust to a flock of injuries

KNOXVILLE -- Frank Wilson describes Tennessee as one of 10 college football "dream jobs."

He joined Lane Kiffin's UT staff as wide receivers coach in January, less than three weeks after being named running backs coach and recruiting coordinator at fellow Southeastern Conference program Mississippi State.

"That was a tough decision for me at that time, but just the opportunity to coach on this staff with the type of coaches and the expertise that they have, it was kind of irresistible," Wilson said. "I was excited about it, and it became the best professional move for me, to put myself in position and align myself with guys who could help me grow as a coach.

Tough position to find yourself in. We had been very fortunate with injuries the last few years. The law of averages caught up with us. We'll get a chance to see if the incoming frosh are worth their publicity. Let's play some ball.

Mr. Head Doobie we appreciate your humble assessment of the impending game against the gators in Gainesville. However, we choose to think optimistically(call me crazy) and wait and let the boys play it out on the field. Yes, the gators are going to be heavy favorites ,but stranger things have happened b4.

On topic, the receiving corp will be interesting and young. Just hope Crompton has enough time to go through his reads to pick one if primary is covered.

GO VOLS!!!

The game down in Gainesville will be closer than the experts think. How's that for a Corso ism'? And when it is closer than the experts think, just wait for the Gators to be the ones with drawn up arses as we play with more and more confidence as the game goes on. It's to our advantage the longer the game stays close, because we are supposed to be blown out after the first quarter. Here's to sippin' the KOOL-AID! GBO

Don't recall any NC school with worse fans than FL. Extremely poor winners.

I think the biggest thing going for UT in this years chapter of this years game in UF is so underestimating UT.

Trust me, I live here. The majority of Gator fans are douche bags. I really miss the hospitality of the good ole boys and the hot country girls of east Tennessee. Not to mention my fathers homemade shine. mmm mmm
