Yeah I saw that, pretty sad. Left behind a wife and 3 daughters.

My condolences to the family of the Rooster!   

10-2?  Maybe. I see a couple games that could go either way, and likely will.

I have noticed they always, every single year, play a ridiculous OOC schedule. I know everyone's OOC schedule is soft, but theirs is absolutely 4 guaranteed wins. Actually, Boston College is a big step up for them. Might be their toughest OOC in 20 years, though for all I know BC might be in a down phase.

Anyway, agree that it sucks we don't get to repay them for last year.

Having said that...we COULD get a rematch in the game that counts.  Is it likely? of course not.  Possible though, at least until the season actually starts.   

waka waka will be missed.  damn free agency

This  .

But I guess he can maybe set a Pac 10 record for fouling out now

Oh wait.  Well, whatever conference they are now 

Some size...we need that! 

Well, S Knox County has always been a bit "different" 

yup.  I stumbled across a still while hiking in my junior or senior year....most likely senior year. In fact, I found more than one over time.  I found a couple that were abandoned and old, and at least one that was active.

When I was in HS and we lived in the Kimberlin Heights area (my parents house is still there, although they are both now in homes for the elderly), in my HS head, the countryside all around their house was open country and not owned by anyone. I guess I thought it belonged to the state of Tennseesee. So I would hike through the woods for miles away from my parents house, mostly in the winter when there wasn't much else to do.  Took the family dog sometimes.  And now I realize I was trespassing the entire time.  Probably lucky I wasn't shot at some point. 

They were a paper tiger to begin with, IMHO.

Kinda crazy that only Peyton, Shuler and Dobbs done much at the next level. Maybe Bobby Scott. I expected more of them to do better than they did at the time. A lot of it has to do with luck and location.

Not sure Dobbs did all that much?  Shular did start a season or two, but didn't amount to much.

I think this is very common.  Can't think of many schools that have a lot of successful quarterbacks.  Oddly, Purdue is one.  Griese (BOB, to be clear), Len Dawson, Drew Brees, Mike Phipps, Jim Everett, Kyle Orton, and I'll even throw in Mark Hermon, though a great college QB, not sure he ever made it in the NFL. Purdue is "Quarterback U" even though their overall success at football has been sketchy to say the least.

Ahahaha!  That must be one of the top ten chokes of all time. 

When I first moved to East Tennessee in 1982, there were billboards everywhere in S Knox County that said "Water is for washing, Dickel is for drinking" and it showed a country gent sitting in an old school washtub drinking Dickel from the bottle.  That sure did seem appropriate for S Knox County somehow!   

 

And Tyler Baron, who entered the portal and committed to Mississippi but one month later changed his "commitment" to Louisville, has now changed his mind again.

The new destination is unknown.

Are we better off without him?  Would he return to UT?  Would Heupel take him back, even if that was an option? 

WTF is up with him?   

They?re 3 games up on us, but I don?t think it?s impossible that we catch them. Our remaining schedule is a little more manageable. They?re a good team, but I don?t think they?re quite as good as their record. We were the first SEC team they played with a winning record.

Not that it matters. A division title is meaningless. So is Hoover. It?s now all about getting in the best position possible for the NCAAT.

Tournies are meaningless in multiple sports. 

Lady Mafia.... Subaru crowd loves their cats....As in house cats. They love to talk about their cats. Thus the cat board.

Ah okay.  Crazy cat ladies. There were other possibilities....

Lady Mafia.....Subaru crowd.

I thought so....not sure why its a "Cat" board per se, you could have, for some odd reason, meant UK.

Then again...not sure I want to know why its a Cat board.   

Third and fourth in Men's football and basketball,respectively.  Sadly only 7th in women's basketball. I am sure that was once no.1 by a large margin, with the exception of UConn for the last 15 to 20 years. Hopefully we will be back in the top 3 or 4 in women's basketball before too long. 

Yet Paul Slimebaum gets 3 hours per day on the SECN when they could be showing us baseball....softball....golf...tennis...volleyball. Anything but Dumbo that's never put a jockstrap on in his life...If he ever did he used it as a dust mask 

 

Not to mention he insists on having the same half dozen retarded [insert politically correct word for retarded here  ] inbreds on, day after day after day, ad naseum, nonstop.  Jim from Tuscalloosa (perhaps THE dumbest) has quit "for good" at least a dozen times, and ole Paul just keeps him on.  Its the Jerry Springer of sports talk. I guess that sells though. 

Two male coaches....Cat board has imploded. 

Cat board??? No comprende 

He was our leading tackler last season...that's a bit surprising, he wasn't on my radar that much.  But also disappointing.   

Kesling read the commit sheet.....and fainted.

 

Looks like Mashack and the poortal was a faulse report

IF I werre a betting man I would bet that Awaca returns and Aidoo is gone
For me, that is a net WIN for the VOLS

That would mean Awaca starts, Estrella gets the B/U role and Phillips assumes the role that Estrella had this year

yup

yep!

I would rather see Call stay UK. (Oakland and St Peters fans concur)

Yes!  For the comedic value alone.

Having said that, I hope his successor does worse.  I know he has set a high bar of unachievement, but whoever the successor is, I will be rooting for him!  (to fail). 

Cya Hodor!   

 

And, people who buy LV merch might not buying regular UT merch, if you catch my drift.

.

Whaaat? In women's sports? No!   

[sarcasm]

@ Gawgville, it was all about ME

And...that surprises you somehow?   

Seriously, has there ever been a bigger me first person?   Kobe for sure (IMO he is no. 1 all time), but in the coaching world, cant think of  single one.

But what is a "Gawg"???
