well look at Rob go! Building this site “Brick by Brick”!

Surprised he got anything at all. You knew this would be a joke. Three games? TCU being the only real game. I like the have no contact rule. Who actually monitors that? Give me a break.

4* over South Carolina among others https://247sports.com/Player/Jaylen-McCollough-83295

You're welcome

We're staying home for the holidays although we may venture into town next weekend for the Clemson/South Carolina game at Colonial Life. We went back to Georgia for Thanksgiving and visited my son & his mom but that's enough holiday travelling for me. I'm nosy. What are the rest of you VolTalkers planning (or not planning)?

We just got back from a trip to Denver to visit our daughter. She moved there this summer to take a job teaching high school English. Went 13 of the 19 miles up Pikes Peak (the rest was closed) and got to see some snow. Merry Christmas!

Congrats to Montario for getting a full time gig. Looks like he will coach the RBs for Helton

I live a few blocks from WKU, so at whatever welcoming event I will go and see what kind of autograph/photo I can get...

Don't think he has any real ties. I think Pruitt will go like he has already and promote from within or someone he is real familiar with. I honestly think he is looking for any reason he can to get Propst on staff so I think there will be some repositioning on the current staff and Propst will be brought in. Most likely scenario is Weinke or Friend get promoted and Propst fills whatever position ends up left or Osovet gets a full time gig and Propst is a quality control guy

I felt like the bad thing about the Auburn game was they had to face Bama the next week. I was afraid if they got shellacked it might take away some of the momentum from the week before. I don't know for sure if that's what happened but I suspected the loss to Carolina might have been some carry-over. This time they have the opportunity to build on what they accomplished Saturday. Like Pruitt said, it's hard to know what to expect from this team from game to game but they shouldn't lack for motivation.

Maybe if he coaches them like they are Alabama they’ll win like they are Alabama.

Now if Raynoch had been wearing that shirt in his mug shot, that would have been awesome!

If someone wants to call running the ball on first and second down, and passing on third down predictable, then %99 of all NCAA and NFL football teams are predictable.

I watched a little of their game with Mizzou. From what I saw I was impressed with how the Tigers OL went toe-to-toe with them on the line, did a decent job of blocking, showed good teamwork and opened some holes. If the Vols could get that kind of effort out of their line I'd give them a chance to keep it close but from the keystone kops show they put on against the gators I'm not expecting it. I'm with you Rob, I don't expect miracles this year but at some point it would be nice to see some progress to at least give us hope that things will get turned around eventually. But not this week. Kirby can probably name his score.

I think most people capable of critical thinking are aware that the majority of law enforcement officers and officials are motivated by professionalism and dedication to making a positive difference, or at least hope they are. Which makes it even sadder that the rotten apples get the headlines. I don't consider CK a hero or a traitor. More along the lines of the lunch counter protesters or freedom riders of days gone by. They didn't consider themselves heroes, just people who had had enough and had the guts to call attention to a problem that many Americans at the time didn't care about and were quite happy to ignore. Because it didn't affect them personally. It's true injustice and police brutality have and probably always will exist to some extent. But it doesn't mean those who are victims or perceived as potential threats because of their race have to take it without complaint because those guilty of abuse of authority are in the minority. Time will tell if anything positive comes of CK's act but sometimes you have to shake things up to make a real difference. Just ask the people who had their bus burned in Alabama.

I get the “if you don’t bleed orange” thing. We need guys truly dedicated to the Tennessee AND it’s culture. But, I can’t say that I blame him. The kid was 4 deep on a strong roster. Just for the sake of playing, I’d probably had left too.

Mr. Optimism here. We win the first 4, then lose the next 3, then win out. Go ahead and laugh, I will re-post this after week 4, unless we go 2-2, then I will hope you all forget about my prediction.

It's not hard to believe that once the shit hit the fan OSU was more concerned about public image & maintaining status quo for the football team. But at the end of the day Smith is a wife-beater, Urbie's a not very convincing liar and OSU is reacting to the whole stinking mess about as expected so no good guys in this story. Just assholes and at least one victim. BTW, as a married guy myself, isn't Urbie's tale about Smith's wife telling the whole sordid story to his wife but his wife never saying a word about it to him laugh out loud ridiculous?

Well, here's the link. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knoxnews.com/amp/981371002#ampshare=https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2018/08/13/aj-johnson-tennessee-vols-football-denver-broncos-nfl-rape-trial-michael-williams/981371002/

Hah! I got the scoop, and you're not going to believe it. AJ Johnson has signed to play NFL ball with the Denver Broncos. Looking for the link. Remember, you heard it here first. Doink...

Yeah Rob! Nice job!

I love it!!! Especially the drag/drop feature, plus easy share on Facebook...Thank you for the hard work
