God Bless this young man. Forget the pure toughness, to go through what he went through is incredible. Thanks for 4 great years, Chris, and the absolute best of luck in life.

DeMarcus Knight is a talented young man, who stepped up big time last season when Richard Montes went down. He has a nose for the ball and a motor that doesn't stop ala Ryan Karl, but with more athleticism. This kid will be very good for Ole Miss, and I'm sad to see a local kid(Born and raised in Morristown myself) get ignored yet again by UT.
Volboy, the kid you are referring to is Blake Garretson, who let off-the-field issues ruin what could have been a productive career. He is now serving in the armed forces and has cleared those issues up.

I thought Mickey Dearstone made an appropriate comment last night when he said that apparently the ladies had yet to leave the hotel for the arena. This has been the one consistent thing about the ladies all season, that they don't seem to bring that consistent intensity night-in and night-out. I kept watching thinking, okay I know you beat the Irish pretty soundly earlier this year, but it's time to turn it on because you're letting a good team hang around. All in all, I'm proud of the Lady Vols for battling during what was apparently one of those off nights, and I hope this game gets them pointed back in the right direction. Good luck against A & M ladies. Keep making Vol fans proud.

Hold your head up high, J.P., you and the rest of the team did a fantastic job this season. Sure, the ending was a little bittersweet but Big Orange Country is very proud of you and we look forward to your talents gracing us on the floor for the next couple of years.

On paper, I really like this hire. Clawson seems to be hailed as a man of great character and I think his offense will bring a breath of fresh air to the program. My only concern about the guy is adjusting to the level of recruiting that a D-I school like UT must do. I'm guessing that he'll rely heavily on Drayton to help him since he does have big time recruiting experience.

This is getting ridiculous. Leaving UT for Duke? Wow, he must be getting a really big raise. Well, if we wanted a new staff, we're getting it. I can't understand why Fulmer isn't doing more to retain some of these guys.

Please, please, please Fulmer you have a quality coach in your backyard that knows how to win. You can't put a price on winners, and that's what Quarles is through and through. Bring him in now.

When I read that Loeffler was being considered, my immediate thoughts were that he might be the new QBs coach and that he might have the clout to bring in a top-notch recruit or 2. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Trooper get an opportunity to coach the QBs either to more well round himself. Let's just get this whole mess over with and get the right guy in so we can get some more recruits on campus.

We got off to a fast start beating Texas and looking pretty good only to falter late in the season, but all in all, this season has been a success. We were picked to be one of if not the worst team in the entire SEC and we battled until the next to last weekend to make the tournament something that no "experts" thought would remotely happen. This team was inconsistent and I worried at times that they look like they weren't given 100% effort, but I think given time Raleigh will do a good job here. He had a very young team with most of the key parts being frosh or sophs, but with guys like Kentrall Davis in the OF, we will get better.
