Love the way the defense played.

I love what Butch Jones and this UT team are doing. But! I will say this. Until I see UT beat Florida I will always favor Florida over UT. I have seen too many years when I thought UT would kick Florida's butt only to be let down. 1993,1996,1999,2002,2005,2012 come to mind.

I was one of those guys who wanted Bruce Pearl back. Having said that I think Donnie Tyndall will get the job done.

Just proves how important coaching is in High School Football. 3-4 years ago Powell was competing for State Titles.

Jack Jones is a beast.

Prayers from me.

For UT to beat Alabama,LSU and other supreme SEC teams they need DT like Kahlil McKenzie. Hope DJ Jones,Josh Sweat and Kyle Phillips get on board. I am pumped.

I was watching the Race this past saturday. I fell asleep and didn't know my favorite driver won. I turned it on Sportscenter to see Race Highlights. The 1st thing I saw was Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend.   Why in the hell did ESPN show that crap? I have nothing against Gay People. I just don't want to see men kissing each other.

Neyland Stadium will never be the same.

All I have to say is. GO LADY IRISH. I can't stand the thought of Geno Ariema passing the Great Pat Sumitt in National Titles. Pat Summitt was all about Class. Geno is an Arrogant,Pompous Jerk. I never liked him after he berated that young woman reporter a few years ago.

.....but the VTTW ESPN Mens Basketball Pickem is over.

No one has any possible points remaining.

I hate to point out the obvious, but I am the master of the obvious. So here it is: We weren't good. Our group ranking was 33836. I don't know how many teams played but we were a long way from respectability.

However, there has to be winner even in a group as bad as ours.

 And the winner is.....    ronboy048 1.  I assume that's RON.


How much is it? LOL  I won my family board also. It wasn't as much as I won. Everyone else stunk also. On Tony Basilio's pickem I got taken to the woodshed. Those people did much better than us.

Congratulations Ron. The check is in the mail.

If Stokes was wearing a Kentucky,Duke or UNC jersey the call would have went the other way.

Time for a change. If not Bruce Pearl at least hire whoever Ernie Grunfield reccomends.

I know there are crazy fans everywhere. I really believe there are a lot more crazy fans in Alabama than anywhere in the USA. Between this crazy woman,The fan who called for Sabans job if Bama doesn't play for the National Title and the woman who killed another woman because she wasn't upset enough over Bama losing to Auburn is pretty bad.

I want Pearl back. Pearls years at UT was the most fun I ever had watching UT Basketball.

Blackman will be by far the best team Maryville has seen so far this year. Blackman has a stud QB,Really good Running Backs,Big Strong Oline and a great defense.

Fulton will kill Catholic and win big next week. Alcoa will beat Upperman and play CPA next week. West will have a tough one with Cleveland.

Yes.

It was tied 14 at the half. Bradley wasn't a bad team. Their QB and receivers were pretty good. Best QB Maryville saw so far. One of the Bradley coaches told me the QB missed a few games.

Ran into David Douglas about a month ago. He told me Butch Jones needs 5 years to turn this around.

Maryville has another great team but doing it with very little attention. In the Knoxville area everyone is talking about Fulton. Fulton has a great team this year. If they don't go 15-0 this year it would be the biggest upset in TSSAA history.

I am too, but I won't pretend this doesn't hurt. A lot. It's going to be hard to be patient.

I agree. This is hard.

Butch Jones inherited a dumpster fire. Dooley and Kiffin destroyed the UT Football program.  I was talking to former Vol David Douglas last night at the Maryville vs Hardin Valley game. He said Butch Jones needs at least 5 years to turn this program around.


I haven't seen UT Football this bad since the end of the Bill Battle era. In matter of fact it may be worse.

The way Geeenback manhandled Coalfield (Vol commit Zach Stewart) shocked me. I had Coalfield as my favorite for state title. Greenback comes to Oneida this week for the Thursday night TV game on MyVLT and that one might get ugly. I continue to be surprised by how good Fulton is. Best in state regardless of classification IMO. They manhandled a pretty good Farragut team last night.

I think Ensworth is the best team in the State. Fulton is a great team.Fulton reminds me of the 93 Cleveland team. Maryville is a great team this year. Maryville doesn't have a lot of seniors.

Phil Fulmer done way more for UT than John Adams ever did. John Adams is a hack reporting LSU Fan. I followed UT Football for nearly 40 years. I remember UT getting their butt kicked my Bama every year. I remember dreaming and wishing UT could beat teams like Bama,Ohio State,Michigan and win a National Title.  Phil Fulmer led UT to a National Title in 1998. That was by far my favorite sporting event ever.


I will admit that I thought Fulmer needed to go. I thought he lost his edge. He lost his fire. But! I always liked him and wanted him to go out a winner.  It disgusts me how bad some UT fans hate Fulmer's guts. I do know this. I know 2 guys who played OL for Fulmer. Todd Upton and David Douglas. I worked with Todd years ago. He told me Fulmer could call him at 3:00 AM and ask him for a favor and he would help him out in a heartbeat. David Douglas thought very highly of Fulmer also.

Congratulations. 2 of my brothers are grandparents.
