I loved Reggie... was always so proud that he graduated from my high school.. Knoxville Central.  Was one of my favs at UT.  Way too young... .so sad.   RIP Reggie!!

I'll support her 100%, even though I'm not sold on her as HC.  We shall see....I hope she is awesome!

I'd rather him win than KY... I'll always like Bruce... I'm just still pissed he screwed up and had to leave TN.  But totally happy with Barnes as our coach now!

Even going back to the back half of the season, we struggled to put together a complete game with any consistency.  It's why, in my heart of hearts I knew it was going to end in heartache.
This is what I was saying last night.. other than the last 2 KY games, this team has not put together a complete game since the blowout in Rupp.  I thank this team for all they've done to bring Vol BB back!! Sure going to miss the Admiral and Kyle!

Absolutely... hands down, this is my favorite Vol BB team ever.    I cried watching Coach Barnes address this team after the game.  The love and respect they all have for each other is so obvious.  I am proud these young men represent our Vols!

As Ive alluded to before, this is the kind of mindset that Fulmer is up against:

People are simply ignorant.... the BEST coach is what we want.. man or woman!

Wish she could have been successful.   I would love to see Louusville coach come to knoxville... he's got talent waiting on him!

Granny, I know that I may have come across as being critical of your post.  I didn't really intend for it to be taken in that vein, however.  I agree that abusive criticism is uncalled for.  I didn't intend to dispute what you were trying to say so much as give my views on the subject.

Sometimes I am not very good at communicating my thoughts.

My apologies if it seemed to be argumentative.
Your post didn't bother me... it's the name calling by some folks here and on Twitter that gets me fired up...

Frustration is one thing,  but calling them clowns and all sorts of other names I've seen around just pisses me off.  I've been a fan for over 60 years and I've never called any of our teams names like I'm seeing on social media over this 1 loss.

BTW this rant was brought on by 1 post here and others on Twitter....

You negative nannies need to get off the bandwagon, IMO.    If you want to get all negative because of a bad game or two -- then you are not a true Vol fan.  Bottom line is this -- Barnes has taken a bunch of 2 and 3 star players and built a national championship contender with them!  Will they win it all?  Who knows...will they go deep in the tourney?  who knows......but win or lose, this is my favorite team of all time.  I've been a fan longer than many of you have been alive....so it's been a few years!    This team is made up of guys who love each other, love Tennessee, love Coach Barnes and love the fans -- they are a class act plus have given us so much fun and lots of big wins over the last 2 seasons.    I'm sick of people getting all negative because of a bad game -- then back on the bandwagon when they win.   

GO BIG ORANGE!!! GO VOLS!!!!  #VFL

Which=about halfway up the 100 level at TBA. Seems like a nice little gym, though. Looks like there will be lots of Orange (the correct shade) in the house, too.
TV looks like a large number of real orange! Go Vols!!!

There are ways for her to resign with push from above if she won't do it on her own.   If she flat refuses, then she must be fired.  I just don't want her thrown out with the trash...ie Butch.... because she has been a Vol her whole life.  It can be handled well if she/ they will just do it!

Look, I've been calling for Holly's job longer than anyone. But there's no need to get ugly about this. She's not some interloper like Butch or Kiffin, she's one of us. She's spent most of her life busting her ass for UT. She obviously hasn't worked out as a HC, and hopefully her time in that role is drawing to a close. But she deserves to go out with some dignity. We at least owe her that.
This I agree with.   She is all Vol.  I'm praying she steps down and they keep her in the fold somewhere.   She just isn't a good head coach.

97  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: It was pretty scary around here yesterday on: March 04, 2019, 05:36:12 EST
They're saying that the tornado that killed 23 (and counting) in Alabama crossed over into Georgia and passed about 1/2 mile NW of me. It looks like it was on the ground for up to 90 miles, creating a 3/4 mile wide path of destruction from Opelika, AL to Thomaston GA. Yikes.

The folks across the river in Lee County got it the worst. That area will take years to fully recover.

You are in tornado alley down there -- although most anywhere in GA is susceptible on any given day -- we've had them pass right over us here in the mtns, dropping debris from where they sat down previously.   Scary is the correct word -- and devastating in Lee County with so many deaths and injuries!   Prayers going out for everyone affected yesterday.

But as I always say, a lot folks that point fingers at others have done just as bad or worse. I don't think he's public enemy number one. Misdemeanor, pay fine , move on.
Problem is, this is from a homeland security investigation into sex trafficking....could be bigger than just paying for a prostitute.
