in response to FWBVol: Wake up and smell the coffee, Golden can't go to a junior college as he has used three years of college eligibility at Tennessee. If it is grades, and he can get in another school this summer and get his grades up in time for basketball season, he is still limited to a Division II option or lower. If he sits out a year, he can play as a senior in the 2014-15 season.

I think he means UT will have to get a juco now Einstein! How's that coffee smelling?
in response to cheetah-vol: I had the same thought considering grades are being released right now. But, I hate the "insider" thing. No offense, but I'd appreciate it if you'd share more about that for the sake of credibility.

Have a friend that is the station manager and program director for WUTK. His info has been spot on through many of these troubling times. No offense taken....don't blame you for being skeptical.
Just got word from an "insider" it was grades!

in response to VolAtUGA11: And I guess I should pre-empt your next question: Ron Mercer played for UK, where he helped win a NC. He was then a lotto pick by guess-who, his old CBB coach and new Celtics HC, GM, Prez, Grand Poobah Rick "Don't Bother Me While I'm Under The Table" Pitino. I hope I don't have to explain Pitino's nickname.

No it's...... "Don't Bother Me While I'm ON TOP OF The Table and bring me my Italian sausage stuffed blond...I mean Red Snapper"! "Don't you know who I am?"
My son was born that day (2 months premature)...I tease him he came out so early just to see the Vols kick Miami's butt! What a great day for me as a Vol fan and new father to remember!
GoVols!
Notice the outspoken defense of the Bama thugs from RtChatt! No wait where is he? Thats' what I thought.....nothing like a little humility is there?!
What the hell...Go Bucs!

Dooley is gone! The fans/troops can be regrouped! All that stayed away from Neyland because of the coach can come back! Support the team and show the new coach we UT fans can walk the walk!
OgSlov!
Driving home yesterday listening to WKRD (Louisville sports radio) and the hosts were "100 percent sure that Louisville lands this young lady" and that Louisville would take over signing the players UT "used to get"! lol
OGSLOV
And beat 4th ranked Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl! Beat Clemson also a non conference game that year in addition to all the ususl SEC suspects, beat them all! This one is weak on your part. Try again!

in response to ElizabethtonvolnNC: Not to sound like a troll (long time GVX viewer and an original Paysite Member from back in the day - 90s)...but some Vols fans do not have realistic expectations for this game..... 140+ yards....300 passing....seriously??! It will be a hard fought, bloodbath. Anyone who expects anything different is.....well, delousional. GBO!

Tough news. He sounds like Washaun Ealey, who is now a headliner at Jacksonville State.
Witch Doctor just gonna watch this one..Witch Doctor really not even hit anyone for a confirmation. Witch Doctor figured if he missed a practice this would happen..anybody shocked? Witch Doctor also not put it past someone writing a story based on Tweets...we've seen that! lol. Witch Doctor say Dooley wouldnt lie. if he up and quit..we'll know by tomorrow. Witch Doctor say T.O has found out his worth isnt worth him. Witch Doctor believe DR not that dumb. really.Bones never lie.
WD You were right again! Bones don't lie!
in response to ProfessionalHandicapper: I watched MTSU at Vandy and this team is very good. I also watched UT at Vandy and it was no contest. Vandy led UT by 25 points and pushed the Vols around in the paint with Ezeli. MTSU led Vandy with a couple minutes left in the game, and fought them hard until the end. The fact Ole Miss pushed UT around inside, and Vandy did also, yet Middle beat Ole Miss and almost won at Vandy should be a huge warning sign. Plus anytime a team flies 2000 miles on a weeknight and beats UCLA which happened to go 14-5 at home this year is also a warning along with 26 wins. The true power ratings, on which every Vegas point spread is composed shows UT a 1 point favorite on a nuetral court. MTSU was a great road Underdog this season going 5-1 vs the spread, make it 6-1 tonight as UT with an injured Maymon and suspended Hall will be hammered inside. MTSU advances.. Before I hear how UT beat Vandy at home, it was on a night when Vandy had a Top 4 seed sown up and a 1st round tourney bye with not much to play for, and UT was fighting for a 1st round bye. Tonight MTSU will be a much more motivated team. MTSU averaged winning by 8ppg away from home this season. To put that number in perspective Ut averaged losing by 5ppg away from home. MTSU is a very good road team. After tonight UT will have lost to APSU and Middle Tn in the same year. Disgrace on Rocky Top.

Keep trying Prohand you're bound to get one right sooner or later....your new Delta Tau Chi name is "tool"! Why tool? Why NOT!
in response to UT4prez: Just call it like I see it and try to keep it realistic. Going deeper I'll call a 7 point win over Ole Miss and an 8 point win over Miss St. My gut tells me Vandy would beat us but we are capable of winning them all. So whatcha think Scooner? Love to hear your thoughts sir.

Scooner would NEVER tell you we could win them all....Big Blue Abomination would tell you if they lose it's because of the refs. I live around them and this is ture and they know it! oGsloV!
in response to thevoice: Nothing like being first AND responding to your own comment... It's the same philosophy I apply to Dooley's team. Show me you're different and I'll start believing it. Otherwise, I'm just going to look at your history and have low expectations.

The main reason I am optimistic for this SEC tournament run is the strong half court defense Cuonzo has instilled in the team. You can have an off shooting night and still be in contention for the win if you play solid half court defense.

This situation has nothing to do with Dooley or football. Continuing to bring up this ludicrous argument on every thread wastes everyone's time. Actually, it's rather funny at this point. Dooley's here for at least another year, probably just hired a great DC in Randy Shannon, and has the program headed in the right direction. Yet, you try your best to turn everything negative. I've always found it funny to watch children through temper tantrums. They make such fools of themselves.

Reminds me of Opie on the Andy Griffith show when he's throwing the temper tantrum, kicking and screaming, rolling on the ground, and Andy asks him "Opie what on earth are you doing?" and Opie says "throwing a temper tantrum" and Andy says "Oh ok just don't get your chothes dirty"

It is only going to flame things when the next UT player has difficulty; and it will happen, regardless of CDD and VFL.3. You (probably) don't know this person. Johnson got in trouble a couple of weeks ago in a situation that was totally out of character. Yes, Finley has a suspended license. So what? Come on folks, we don't have to trash other schools or players for other schools. We have plenty to be thankful for and can support some great young people that happen to play sports for UT!
