I agree 100%+ on Cheek.  He makes incompetent look good

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.

Thanks BG
You hosting a tailgate this year?
I will be coming to the game and I may be bringing Mrs PV this year

Mostly Bill Dyer and John Ward.  Some of my first memories were reading the Dyergrams on Sunday mornings, then I graduated to listening to John.  The Swamp Rat was my first favorite and yes Emeril the Crossville Comet (and later Blue Angel #2) is still one of my fav RBs (though the raw bacon types in Fayeteville might not share our view ...).

Oh, Mrs PV claims that ReVOLver and certain other orangelife's around here turned me into a ORANGE & WHITE FANATIC.

Great article on Pat

The KNS is reporting no additional sanctions for football OR basketball.

That isn't too surprising re: football, but it's a huge break for Cuonzo and the basketball program, since just about everyone expected at least a few lost scholarships.

Just means that Pearl is going to get "blown up"

Well, it's good to hear before the season starts and, assuming no new penalties, we should be in fairly good shape long term.

Do what?  You didn't listen on line?   

Led 35-3 at the half, and cruised to a 42-17 win at Rhea County. 

21 rushes for 300 yards pretty much tells the tale. 

Got in late and then went damn! 

Oh, my.  It hurts my eyes just to look at them.   

How did the mighty Panthers do last night?

[BITE ME!]

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today. I'm sure this comes as no surprise to you.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

What's the phrase I'm looking for?
I know I have seen it around here before ...
Just a sec ..
Oh here it is

BITE ME!

There, I feel better.

If you play a round, be sure you let us know what you scored on the BACK 9 as well!

But we play SC in Knoxville.

My only game I would disagree is the UF game, because it is in hogtown.  Even though I think we will match up well with the crocs, given how young the team is going into the swamp and winning may be too much to expect, especially since this will be the first road game we play.

Okay, that's not a bad point of view.  The average poster on here might be more intelligent than those on Volquest or Volnation (which seems a low standard, from what I have heard, lol) but I have seen posters on here be quite negative on Simms and Crompton.  I hope Bray lives up to expectations, but I am tempering mine until he faces a real D.

I was one of those bashing Crompton.  One good thing came out of the loss to Auburn (and Crompton't horrific 1st 3 quarters) is that the staff saw something they could work with Crompton to make him a serviceable QB - you saw the results against the pups the next week.  Yes they got him moving around which helped but look at how many back side throws he attempted in the first five games vs from 10 October on (I would submit he completed more back side throws to the opposition than to Orange jerseys in those five games).  Oh, and the end of the bamer game hurts to this day.
