from a (former) teachers perspective. Don't do it. They are used for so much more than emergency communications and most of the uses are not good. I took one off a student one day and he complained using the excuse that he had a kid. I told him I had two and didn't need one. If they need to be reached at school you can call the office and if you can convince them it's an emergency then they will page them. Children don't need to call mommy and daddy every time someone looks at them hatefully. I know there are extreme instances (ex. Columbine) where it might be useful to have one but really how often is that.

I suggest getting him a small bell and when he needs anything he can just give it a ting-a-ling so everyone can rush to his side and take care of him. A couple of days of being ignored and he'll learn to fend for himself.

My thoughts on this (useless) thread issue I disagree with 101. I do not think that Denton intentionaly intends to upstage the game. The pregame ritual is one that I follow along with to this day. The third and the river statement he got in trouble for but at the time I, and probably 90% of the stadium felt was funny and accurate as heck. It made granny holtz stomp around some more and IMO that was a good thing! If a poster thinks Denton is a grandstanding stadium announcer I'd like to introduce them to several different stadium announcers in the SEC, starting with the jerk at Williams Bryce, who really is in the same league as the hobnailed boot. And it's another to the jerk on the mike! The uga and L$U stadium announcers aren't far behind. However, IMO time has passed Denton by and he should step down. He is having more and more difficulty with names and just following the game, though he is not near as bad as blob. SHOW YOUR GOLD!!! ( whoever that clown was)

...Down here in k-ville. Me fire pit is sitting out back full of water; at least three inches. Based on the yards around here, though, I asume it is needed.
BTW, congrats on the opening day W. We cannot have a boring game; everything has to be interesting for us. I guess that is why ESPN likes us. Now if you will excuse me, I have about 200 more boxes to get through.
May I suggest TENNESSEEaubie
