I have been an alumni of UT for almost 30 yrs. I have never received so many e-mails trying to sell me season tickets and single game tickets, What happened to the waiting list that there was for season tickets for so many years?

I gave up mine several yrs ago due to the high costs of the contribution requirements and travel costs. With gas now going to 5.00 I bet a lot more 200+ milers will drop back to watching tv games only. Nashville to Bristol will be the season ticket holder base.

I would have loved to have him as a VOL but I will be able to watch him here in the Triangle. UHC basketball is everything over here. Like football is to us. Roy is a clean recruiter - no SUV's under the table. That is a stupid and uninformed comment. Big programs like UNC (& DUKE) don't have to go under the table. I love my VOLS but I respect ACC basketball and the local coaches integrity.

Go Cromp go. The next in a line of great VOL QB's... and a kid who really wanted to be a VOL...Good show

On Crompton to start throwing this week

That kid from ECU is fast. I have seen a few ECU games ( ACC opponents = UNC & NC State) and he could be a big help to the Titans on returns as well as breakaway speed from the backfield. Give him a chance. Many NFL stars did not go to prestige schools.

On Tennessee finally add receiver in 4th round

Who cares what the pros think of Erik or even if he makes it in the NFL ( I hope he does so he can make some big $$ [300K NFL minimum] for a few years b4 he enters our real world of 40hr work weeks. Erik was and always will be a VOL. He loved this school enough to cross the country to come to UT from Oregon and stay his 4 years. We all owe him our well wishes and Welcome him back whenever he can come to Neyland for a visit. I hope he settles in K-ville like Reviez and others have.Good Luck Erik.

On Jets pick Ainge in fifth

I went to the Duke spring game. They had a record crowd of 3100 show up on a beautiful afternoon. So many people they actually ran out of BBQ.The Game was booooring. A 7-3 masterpiece until a late fumble on the 4 yd line or so made it 14 - 3.
Lots of 3 yd. passes. There was 1 long run for a TD that was fun.Cut at halftime implored people to purchase season tickets (90.00 for sideline and 4 for 125.00 for end zone)
Just a bit different than our beloved Vol Nation.

Big Don's Elegant Junk ! That brings back memories... You had to measure the khakis with a yardstick to get the waist size.That was when Knoxville had style. No bland franchise restaurants ( instead Smokey Mtn Markets) or up scale niche stores ( instead Big Don's)

Oh good, more obnoxious drunks of every age at concerts. Now they don't have to chug in the parking lot b4 entering. I can't wait.

On Beer to be sold at Thompson-Arena, but not on game days

20.00 to see the O & W? You are either trying to generate responses in this forum during the slow season or are not a donor and season ticket holder. Give 1500.00 in donations to get 2 season tickets and you'll think the O & W should be free and they should toss in 2 dogs.

Instead of the VASF BBQ day during the season they should have VASF 'double dog' day at the O & W for members. Call it 'Remember Smokey MTN Market' days for those of us who have followed the VOLS for 20 to 30 + years. 7 have eaten SMM dogs in the glory days of the campus b4 franchise restaurants took over.
