Written on UT says Debby Jennings was 'insubordinate, disrespectful' :

I don't know all the facts, but it sounds like she was pissed that the "good ole girl" network was crumling before her eyes and some smart alec lawyer thought they could treat this like a hate crime and make a name for themselves.

Money is getting tighter by the day.Hart knows this and he has to do some unpleasant things that will hurt people without a doubt. Take the offer of retirment with bennys and go write part time for somebody.

By money getting tighter, I really mean we have to save up for a new football coach unless Dooley goes about 8-4 this year. And I sincerely hope he does.

reckon he must have been head over wheels in love...yuk yuk yuk

Written on Lady Vols don't land Diamond DeShields :

so goes the coach so goes the recruiting. UT will still be on most top recruits list for a while but without a certain tall thin lady UT will become just another school...starting to sound like a trend.

Written on Chizik: Auburn still 1 recruiting class away:

I'm only one lottery ticket away from owning this paper too. :)

Written on Tennessee's Pat Summitt working on memoir:

in response to Pat777:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

seriously? you had to go there?

I believe she is a lady of great faith and she wears a cross around her neck in almost every photo out of basketball garb. If you don't know what I mean by that then I invite you to church this Sunday for an open hearted discussion.

Written on Packers release veteran LT Chad Clifton:

in response to almost-a-Vol:

Not many tackles can say they blocked Peyton Manning's blindside for 3 years and Brett Favre's for ten.

that's almost-a-good thought:)

Written on Marlin Lane scores twice in Orange and White Game:

Brodus to start. IMO

Written on Pat Summitt says 'it has been a privilege':

in response to maxvolfan#217855:

I vote for a statue of Pat in front of TBA. I picture one of her standing there hand on a shoulder of a player (Glory) just to name one and have that focus stare of coaching a player to be the best she can be.

i'm not sure one statue is enough

Written on Phillip Fulmer denies contact from Arkansas :

in response to Colliervol:

Your last paragraph pretty much hit the nail on the head. He was a great head coach---in the 90's---and he didn't forget how to do that. He just got complacent and increasingly stubborn about making changes. And as most of us know, if you ain't moving forward, you're going backwards because your competition is doing everything it can to move ahead.

Most people I know respect Phil for his record and for his contributions to UT. Certainly no "hate" in the UT crowd I know. But there is no question that he had to go and the board made the right call.(It wasn't Hamilton. He was just the messenger.) And if you think otherwise, you must have been sleeping from 2005 thru 2008. Phil's problems contributed to this mess but hiring Kibble was the mistake that really put us behind the 8 ball. We are only now starting to see daylight and we shall see if Dooley can get us all the way out (8 wins this fall or else). If not, we'll be hiring another one.

agreed collier. Although instead of being stubborn about change, I'm not sure he knew how to change. The game was passing him by with complex spreads, fast linemen, and athletic QBs. Talent was also figuring out that they didn't have to settle on the same top 15-20 schools to get playing time. Gotta adapt and he couldn't.

Written on Pat Summitt steps down:

Lets face it guys, Holly was Pat's decision, and like her or not she will have the the first chance to follow a legend which is an impossible task. Love you Ms.Pat

Written on UT to cut 17 positions in athletics department :

Several had said that there was a lot of fat that could have been trimmed, and was. But I will say this, win a couple maybe even 3 more football games and over half these folks still get to come to work on Monday.

Economy smonimy...Seeing the upper south get emptier and emptier last 5 years is directly proportional to layoffs. Football pays for all other sports. always has.

Written on John Adams: Bobby Petrino proves 'coaching genius' is oxymoron :

Someone once said, "you can't fix stupid."

How about getting divorced first, then it ain't cheatin'. Then there is no need to lie. Here's your sign.

Written on Petrino getting plenty of support from Ark fans:

Anybody notice the swine with the sign on the right? Evidently doesn't go to church.

Written on Poll: How do you plan on taking in the Orange & White game?:

do plan, or not do plan, that is the question

4 score and 7 do plans ago...

me thinks I'll plan to quit now...

Written on ‘Maturity level’ up for UT’s Tyler Bray and Da’Rick Rogers:

slow clap...I can sleep better now knowing that little Ricky is playing nice.

Written on Arkansas coach Petrino put on leave after crash:

the next call should be to a guy called Gus over at Arky State. Name your price and you start Monday.

Written on Now a Bronco, Manning says hello to his new team:

in response to volhitman:

I wonder about TV. Denver's time zone, and with stations showing Titans, will they show Denver in this area?

if you have Comcast...nope. Time for either ATT U-verse or DirecTV...

but I have a feeling fox and cbs will be fighting pretty hard to get rights for the first half of the season. Ample opportunity for everyone to see him.

Written on Can Tennessee continue to be as dangerous as Agent Orange?:

Agent Orange....really?

Written on Uncertainty a reason Eric Russell left UT :

in response to doesitmatter:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

and how many years did the old ball coach take to become competitive at USC???...I'm just sayin'

Written on Nick Williams, Vols 'dig deep,' hold off Ball State :

finding a way to win against a 2-7 team sure beats finding a way to lose to them. It's profound...I know.

Written on Nebraska officially announces Terry Joseph as defensive backs coach:

ahhhhhh.....his mudda blows bubble gum.

Written on 2nd or bust? It's down to the wire for Vols:

Vanderbilt coach..."pilot to co-pilot...we're going down in flames"

Written on Mike Strange: Martin deserving of honor, but Calipari hard to ignore :

am i the only one that throws up a little when I hear the name Calipari?

Written on Lane Kiffin, Southern Cal offer Webb's Todd Kelly Jr. :

I'm beginning to think Kiffin is a bit spiteful in his actions. I mean he really doesn't have a shot at this kid but it does make great fodder for gullible KNS writers. If it's one thing Kiffin knows when he sees it, is a sucker.

Written on Hog-tied: Arkansas women win in Knoxville for first time, 72-71 :

Pat's not too involved these days and it obvious. She used to rip girls heads off for stupid and lazy play. Sad to see so many "firsts" with this team.

Written on Cam Tatum's work ethic doesn't slip :

Kenny Who?

Written on Jim Bob Cooter joins coaching staff for Kansas City Chiefs:

in response to CrankE:

Nothing can stop the Honey Cooter when he's hungry. It just takesss . . whatever it wantss.

@#$% that's funny!

Written on Tee Martin going to Southern Cal as an assistant coach, 'never got a call' from UT:

we can only hope that he is using Kiffin like Kiffin used UT...me thinks he probably is :)

Written on Mike Strange: Florida win raises a few questions about the Vols :

in response to EightLetters:

What in the world are you smoking? Getting massacred at Kentucky a fluke?? Are you serious? If anything, Tennessee's win at Florida is the fluke.

I truly doubt Kentucky has any fear of playing Tennessee...on any floor. They have a team of uber athletic players that are only getting better and better. If the Vols face them in the SEC tournament, it will be another blowout win for the Cats. Keep your expecations realistic. The Vols are getting better, but they are not Elite like the boys in blue.

you said uber... rhymes with goober

Written on Vols picked to finish last in SEC East baseball:

the goal should be .500 in SEC play, and .600 in all games

and no, its not Dooley's fault...it's Fulmer's

Written on Football team struggles in classroom, while men's basketball improves :

Really not as think as you dumb they are. Remember the mind is a terrible thing.

Written on Lady Vols commitment Kaela Davis reopens her recruitment :

girls are prima donnas too. The smart play is to name the successor and put her under Pat on the bench right now. With the effort these girls are giving it doesn't sound like Pat is spending as much time in the gym as she once did. I don't pretend to know how bad her mental state is or is not but it's just so sad to watch it play out.

Written on Source: Derrick Ansley added to UT staff:

i was gonna say something about missing Lance Thompson, but it looks like we don't need LB's anyway. this will be a weak link on D. Lance made very average guys play well above their level.

welcome to the new kid

Written on Cuonzo Martin won't 'budge' on defensive priorities :

I hear you coach, but someone has to score too. Last I checked the team with the most points has almost always won.

Written on The first stop for recapping Tennessee's signing day:

Keep Bonner on a short leash coach...guys like this usually turn out to be captain of the team or arrested by a captain from KPD. We'll see what kind of man he is.

Written on Tennessee fans lobbying Peyton Manning to consider Titans :

The smart play would be negotiate for half of what he is owed, retire from football, get in the booth for a couple of years, and lets this Dooley thing play out. Consequently he retires a living legend in Indy, gets some of his money, has some great family time while broadcasting, doesn't get hurt or end up like McNabb bouncing around for the next 5 seasons.

Its hard to argue with that.

Written on Top state prospect Dawson 'real steal':

Santos, wussed out.

Written on Correction: Auburn-Trees Poisoned story:

guys the news the next few weeks will get worse until camp starts....I'm still waiting on the story of how a sorority takes on the responsibility of polishing the flamer's torch at the circle...

Written on Former Vols coach Phillip Fulmer adjusting to life away from UT:

another 5-6 season and Dooley will be gone too. To few people with too much influence from the west box. As long as the admin runs from those folks things will not change. Lets hope this new regime will bring in the right coach and then simply thank the donars in stead of bowing to them.

Written on Justin Wilcox to earn $750,000 in 2012 at Washington :

I don't pretend to know what he was thinking but a bigger question is how does Clemson steal the DC from Oklahoma as a lateral move? Did UT's staff not know he was looking around?

Written on Video highlights of Tennessee vs UConn:

Stokes is good. Lets hope others continue to elevate their game to keep pace. Nice job guys.

Written on Video highlights of the Tennessee-Georgia game:

proud of that effort? think again boys.

Written on Schedule envy? Vanderbilt's Kevin Stallings calls foul on Kentucky's SEC schedule:

We cannot have KY tired now can we...

Written on What's more important for the Vols at this point?:

ditto Mannie

Written on Lance Thompson appears headed back to Alabama:

in response to jobrando#216494:

dang, I've heard Chaney is grumbling

He's got to win something before he gets the right to grumble...

Written on Kevin Steele out as Clemson defensive coordinator :

in response to vol4gzus:

Wow I'm relaxed now knowing that Roll Troll Roll "is not sweating" LOOSING (they are tied up I guess.) I wonder if he/she is sweating about LOSING any asst coaches.....

Alabama girls sweat early and often...
