Title: Re: Pat Summitt-and Dooley and Jackson...
Post by: BGHarper on August 24, 2011, 05:55:00 EDT
My main purpose for stopping by was to share my sympathy for your truly great coach Pat Summitt. When was the last time you heard a Tide fan say UT's coach was great? Well, she is and we Tide fans have known that for years...a great person too...so classy!

My mother in law has had this problem for  the past few years, and now it appears she is in the latter stages. This thing is so hard on my wife and her family, as it will be on Coach Summitt's family. They are the ones that will really need the support from the UT faithful.

On brighter news, I'm impressed with Mr. Dooley and the way he is handling things in his program. In the long run, it will help your program immensely. Again, color me impressed by this young coach and his willingness to do things the right way.

We really know nothing at this point. Saban isn't releasing the QB's scrimmage stats, and has said both will get playing time in the first few games, or until one separates themselves from the other (There was no real separation during the spring ).

No, but at the least maybe we can get together either that Friday night before the game for dinner and drinks, and/or meeting up at the Quad or The Houndstooth for a cold one or two. As we get closer to the game, I'll contact you here by PM and surely we can set something up. Maybe we can get Emeril to FEDX us something good to eat! lol
