Written on 48 student-athletes graduate from Tennessee:

A witch doctor poser would steal your dog.

Written on Dick Evey, who played for Vols from 1961-63, dies at 72 :

Had a class with him when I was a frosh...He was a beast of a guy (relative to those days) Man he was cut.

Written on John Adams: Butch Jones has caravan rolling and recruiting along:

The right man for the job.

Written on Dave Hart already a big Butch Jones fan :

Whether you heart or hate Hart, Butch is da man.

Written on Pat Summitt's 1-year contract dips from $354,375 to $85,000 :

Her value to the UT brand is immeasurable.

1%'er is FOS.

Written on Jordan McRae announces he won't enter NBA draft:

What about the other guy?

Written on Tennessee contends with dropped passes, injury in Thursday practice:

in response to bUTch_please:

The ham injury is the full responsibility of "luvtomatosoup". He started talking about them a week ago. I lay this at his doorstep.

anyone that loves tomato soup has no credibility with me.

Written on Vanderbilt coach James Franklin says 'people are offended' that he stands up for his school:

The coach has a pair. But he's still a doosh.

Written on Tennessee football team's morning wake-up: Baby crying, siren wailing among sound effects:

I like it. Especially if it bothered the frat sissys.

Written on Holly Warlick receives Maggie Dixon award for rookie coaches:

in response to adimatteo#261830:

I have no problem with Holly, think all the coaching staff great for years, I concede I thought Nikki would have been great to have here, and who knows the future.
having said that, I meant to make one comment that I found disturbing, and maybe reading too much into it.
But the other day in the article about the lastgame Holly made acomment that our team had the jitters...in describing the first half performance.

I find it extremely upsetting to think that the Lady Vols, with our program and tradition, playing a fifth seed team in Elite Eight, that we would have the jitters, sad commentary, even if she felt that way, wish she didnt say it.
Again, maybe Im just overeacting, (and upset that UCONN most likely will tie our record) but that just didnt sit well.

methinks you're too picky.

Written on Butch Jones says of event countering Nick Saban: 'I'll do anything in Tennessee':

in response to Geofffourmyle:

Only problem with your statement is that Nick Saban is a very poor representative for college football.

The guy is more ethically challenged than Richard Nixon.

Wow, that dates me. How about a comparison with our national sociopath George W. Bush?

Quoting the very very average Johnny Majors is the cherry on top demolishing your argument.

Walt

UT '81

Walt still smarting over Fulmer getting canned.

Written on Dave Hart praises outgoing Alabama AD Mal Moore, says he's committed to Tennessee:

OK by me if he stays. But lose the Just for Men.

Written on First half was enough cushion for Vols against Mississippi State, 69-53:

in response to secondcreek:

OK, I admit it, I was VERY unhappy when Pearl was let go and they hired Martin.

BUT I have been impressed by the job Martin has done with this team the last two years.

Oh, and Martin was a Mike Hamilton hire. Where are the Hamilton haters?

right here

Written on Jordan McRae passed over for SEC Player of the Year:

in response to murrayvol:

You're right. That rule applies to every walk of life. Malcolm Gladwell mentioned it in his book "Outliers"

Never underestimate the wisdom of Murrayvol.

Written on As Tennessee opens spring football under Butch Jones, 5 storylines to watch:

in response to Henley-Street-Bridge:

GO VOLS. I'm hoping for Peterman to step up big this spring.. he looks more the prototypical college QB, more like Peyton Manning in his height and weight.. Worley is a good athlete, I kinda wish back to the days of Charlie Fulton and Dewey Warren where either or both would be on the field at the same time. The more good athletes you put on the field at once, the better.

Hey Henley, I'm sure Dewey will be pleased you associated him with being a good athlete. 🏉

Written on Checking out 'the bad' — Three concerns for UT:

in response to emailnodata:

We have
-dog-awful defensive personnel
-no prove wr's...
-no qb; if someone does not beat out Worley, it's a waste (Worley = Joey Matthews).

Jones better be working on "plan B", whether that is a Pig Howard spread or a really juiced-up running attack.

He's got about a week to get that rolling in spring training.

If your opinion mattered, I'd be worried. But it doesn't.

Written on Bobby Majors, Paul Naumoff, Jackie Walker on College Football Hall of Fame ballot:

in response to Johnny_Aint_No_Del_Shofner:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Everybody has a right to.....etc, but to say Bobby Majors should never be in HOF is just frikken stupid.

Written on New UT football facility to be named Anderson Training Center:

in response to agentorange:

As if we needed any more proof the Mike Hamilton is the dumbest mother effer to ever set foot on UT's campus.

don't straddle the fence, Agent.

Written on Robert Gillespie of West Virginia leading candidate for RB coach :

in response to Witch_Doctors:

Witch Doctor say forget the Alum stuff as Graham did..Witch Doctor believe this is a step up. Witch Doctor say once a kid graduates the worst thing he can do is return to his school to coach. Witch Doctor say plus he can pull the ones from Florida that Jay never could. Good hire IF we can get him
Bones never lie.

agree with witchee.

Written on UT baseball frustrated on offense, drops home opener against Arizona State, 4-0 :

in response to Fall_Creek_Vols:

Ease up. It's early. Do I have to remind you of the great tradition at Arizona State?

Let's talk again in a month.

Exactly. Slack needs to be cut.

Written on John Adams: No Michael Dyer, even if UT in dire need:

agree 100% with adams.

Written on Former UT football player Dennis Rogan arrested :

I just don't get it with these guys.

Written on John Adams: The next recruiting class for Butch Jones is crucial, and the clock is ticking :

in response to notfunanymore:

After all their jokes/laughs and vacations are over, maybe these clowns will realize just how important recruiting is. It already seems as if everything is a joke to these coaches....not a good sign at all!

This guy has that old familiar smell of a KNS plant.

Written on Memphis: 'This is your team':

in response to iLOVEtheVOLS:

You people are amazingly negative. What do you want Coach Jones to do, stay in Knoxville sitting on his hands like the last 3 coaches did? Give him some credit, he’s getting out there. When things turn around, you guys will be the first on the bandwagon.

good post. more and more evidence shows that dooley sat on his arse most of the time. several big-time HS coaches are now admitting that they never even met the man. dooley worked us over like a tied goat.

Written on Kenny Hall won't be suspended following arrest:

in response to MOD_4_MY_DAY_JOB:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

The Uncle Tom reference is disgusting.

Written on Tennessee governor says Vols must fill Neyland:

in response to VolFanHoping:

What really ticks me off about this is that Hamilton was praised for his financial stewardship if nothing else. Cheeky gave him $1.3 mil for destroying a variety of programs, running up debt, and bleeding reserves. Geez I wish I could get a job where I get paid that much for ruining so many things.

The most *amazing* thing Hamilton ever did was writing in an expensive buyout for Dooley...a buyout for a coach with absolutely zero leverage. That was criminal.

Written on Dallas Cowboys hire Derek Dooley as wide receivers coach :

It appears that Jerry Jones has finally reached the Al Davis stage of life.

Written on Nick Reveiz joins Carson-Newman as graduate assistant :

Will succeed at whatever he does. Who knows, may be back here someday.

Written on Cowboys hire Monte Kiffin to replace Rob Ryan:

won't make any difference til jerry jones fires jerry jones.

Written on Phillip Fulmer to be inducted into Chick-fil-A Hall of Fame:

No need in further blasting FHCPF.

Written on John Adams: Time for 'serious' changes at Tennessee :

Adams is ok by me.

Written on USC gave Lane Kiffin loan for house, but there's a catch:

Wonder if he ever unloaded that big house in Knoxville?

Written on Auburn names Garner defensive line coach:

doubt he will do much d-line coaching. strictly a recruiter.

Written on Report: Tyler Bray to enter the NFL draft :

in response to Witch__doctors:

Witch Doctor say Bray will be sleeper in draft. Witch Doctor say he becomes Jet. Witch Doctor say Cordarelle would have been #1 pick if he went to another school.

Bones always lie-;)

Imagine what Bray could have been with real coaching.

Written on Are you satisfied with the coaching staff Butch Jones has put together?:

in response to JtDL:

The only problem I see is Willie Martinez. His defenses were horrible at Georgia and this season's secondary at Auburn was even worse than the rest of the team.

Sooo, JtDL....you think Butch hired him because he is a friend...nevermind he's a lousy coach??? I don't think so.

Written on Stokely nearly empty, memories remain :

ROTC

Written on John Adams: Reality reigns in UT hire :

Seems to me to be a thoughtful piece by Adams.

Written on John Adams: Strong just wasn't 'cut that way' :

Don't forget his flirting got him a huge raise.

Written on John Adams: Even though it won't be Jon Gruden, the new coach will win over UT fans at media conference :

in response to atnvol#283282:

I wasted 5-6 minutes of my life reading this bull shet.

5-6 minutes? You need remedial reading, pal.

Written on David Climer: Tennessee Vols coaching job lacks its previous glamour:

in response to shipperman#280095:

Butch Davis appears to be on top of the charts right now

Hope not.

Written on Alabama holds off Georgia 32-28, advances to Miami:

pulling for the conference is stupid. hate bama...why pull for them? go domers.

Written on New York City could be nexus of Tennessee's coaching search for next few days :

Jimbo, Schmimbo. Would not be the right choice.
