I thought she started as a tight end, but now she's listed a wide receiver.

Growing pains. Nothing more. We are a better passing team than a year ago. We will be better still by the end of the season.

I must say, John Adams, I have considered you to be a complete tool for several years, but now Fulmer is gone you have been writing some decent stuff. In fact, it seems you have become one of the most 'pro- UT' writers out there.

This is a welcome change and on that should help your career and the KNS' readership.

All aboard the Lane Train!

I think this is a balsy move on the part of Kiffin. He must really believe in this kid.

NOLA you are making the assumption that the situation with Sawtelle and Coleman are the same. Do you know that they are in fact parallel? Second, Coleman didn't Coleman meet with Kiffin and Reaves on Wednesday and then request a second meeting when he did not get the answer he wanted? Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe that is how it went down.

My read is that Kiffin didn't see Sawtelle contributing, so he gave him a way out; in the case of Coleman, Kiffin did not feel ready to name a starter at QB and Coleman could not accept that. Not the same.

I don't know BJ personally, but by all accounts he is a fine, upstanding young man. In the end, he through a temper tantrum and demonstrated poor character by making a private situation very public.

Even if the coaches thought that BJ was the man they have the right to withold that announcement until after the off-season if they feel it will improve their chances at securing a commitment.

Go Vols.

Unbelievable rant!

I wish BJ the best and all, but honestly he isn't as good as he thinks he is. He really sounds like a spoiled brat. Obviously he only listens to those who blow sunshine up his buttons.

I believe he would have won the job eventually. If there was some gamesmanship going on for the sake of the recruits or to bolster the confidence of the other QBs (a ploy used to perfection by Cutcliffe with Ainge, by the way) then so be it; that is the prerogative of the staff.

I think this was a really stupid move on Coleman's part, and I do believe it will hurt the Vols. But I guess if he (or his dad) doesn't believe in the system, which he obviously doesn't, then he needs to move on.

I can't wait to see how it plays out...

Nice tabloid journalism: "Kiffin basically told him it probably would be best for all concerned if Thigpen never came back." Is that really what happened, John? DO you honestly have any idea? The answer is no, you don't because the new regime doesn't give a phooey about you or the KNS.

My nipples could cut glass right now.

Fulmer did not prompt the players to be mad at the University. He was forced out. The players can see that. Looks like you're going to have to find a new person to blame, Sauderman.

Clawson will come around. Go Vols!

There attendance for this game was higher than for UAB. The energy was great. Contrary to some predictions, tickets were not abundant outside the stadium. There were obviously a lot of kids and people who usually don't get the chance to go to games there looking for tickets. There was more of a sellers market for tickets at this game than for the Arkansas game last year. The boos where surprising but significantly softer than in previous games. In fact, the boos at the end of the first half were partially drowned out by cheers from exuberant fans in the north end zone who were cheering their vols into the tunnel. For those of you that were too high and mighty to attend, you missed a fun game.

"He was a good leader," Stephens said of Ainge. "People looked up to him. He wasn’t a leader by being loud or being vocal.
Intersting that Ainge buddied up to Stephens and not Crompton. I wonder if John is 'loud and vocal?'

On the replay it was quite evident that Crompton let go of the football before the ball touched Foster, elbow or otherwise. The fumble was not Foster's fault, period.

So, what you're trying to say is that our opponents' injuries makes us better? What about staff changes, coaching, and the hard work of the players? Could it have anything to do with our off-season training changes, or maybe our practice regimen? Give credit where credit is due you big ninny.

John Adams, you are important and all-knowing, can you use your special powers to help free Gerald Williams?

I've been saying it since the Spring Game- Tauren Poole is an impressive back! He and and Austin Johnson were great recruits- regardless of rating- for the following reasons 1. They are physically ready for the SEC 2. They fill an immediate need and 3. They had the smarts to get their schooling wrapped up early so they could enroll in the spring, thus practically affording them an 'extra' freshman year. I expect we'll hear a lot from these two this year.

This was truly a magic season. Sure, these guys were good and very determined, but boy, were they lucky, too. We can only hope for the same this year!

Sweet Tee is the man!

Lamarcus, I thought you were in Virginia somewhere?

Took both hands off the wheel to clap and let out a big 'woo hoo!' when heard the news this am. Almost time now, Gents!

I heard it somewhere recently that UCLA's gameplan was to scheme things to make us one dimensional. My guess is that they are going to play aggressive D (really their only stregth) and make us pass the ball. For those who think we have it make because their offense is struggling for cohesion, remember we are unproven on offense, and although we have a veteran O-line, we did struggle to run the ball at times last year.

Having said that, I think we'll kill 'em.

Go Vols!
