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

Grant Williams isn’t the only Tennessee addition made by the Boston Celtics this offseason. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday afternoon that former Lady Vols star and ESPN commentator Kara Lawson has been hired by the Celtics as an assistant coach. Lawson, who played at Tennessee from 1999-2003, spent 12 years in the WNBA, winning a title in 2005 and earning All-Star honors in 2007 before transitioning to the broadcast booth at ESPN. She helped Team USA win gold in the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing and gold in the World University Games in Beijing in 2001. In the WNBA, Lawson played for the Sacramento Monarchs (2003-09), Connecticut Sun (2010-13) and Washington Mystics (2014-15). With the Celtics, she’ll coach alongside Brad Stevens, Boston’s head coach since 2013, after he was hired away from Butler after a six-year stint with the Bulldogs. Boston selected Williams with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of last week’s NBA Draft, one of three Tennessee selections that had their names called. Admiral Schofield went 42nd overall to the Washington Wizards and Jordan Bone was picked at No. 57 overall, landing with the Detroit Pistons. Tennessee fired Lady Vols head coach Holly Warlick on March 27 and Lawson was a name mentioned by many as a candidate before athletic director Phillip Fulmer ultimately hired Kellie Harper. Lawson isn't alone as a female being hired to coach with an NBA franchise. Nancy Lieberman was hired in 2009 to be the head coach of the Texas Legends, an NBA Developmental League team, the Los Angeles Clippers hired Natalie Nakase as assistant video analyst and Becky Hammon has been successful in her role as assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs.

My high school ride. RIP Bandit!

That gave me butterflies in my stomach

Happy Chinese New Year of the Pig!!! Wishing you great happiness and prosperity this year and let us beat Ky in Rupp Arena

End of game foul line shooting saved them. They continue to play up to their competition rather than their potential. Still they avoided the curse of a #1 ranking. Its great to be a Tennessee Vol!

How about a neat trivia fact? The funds were donated to complete TBA by a single donor with one stipulation. It had to seat more fans than Rupp at Kentucky. GO VOLS!

I will be at the Carolina game rooting on our basketVols! 630 game so should be home by 9. Carolina starting to find their groove so should be a good game. That was impressive how we turned it up that last minute of the Florida game. Sign of a championship team, winning close games on the road. We have so many weapons and differerent guys stepping up when they need to. Been fun to watch so far!

The Admiral and Grant had the best and last laugh

The best part of it all is the fact that Butchy was denied a NC ring. That was as close as he’ll ever get to one.

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!

I never played football at the organized level so I'm just spitballing here but it seems to me coaching can only do so much about false starts. It's still on the players to have the self discipline to hold their stance. As for the substitution issues I don't know if it's coaching or the players not being prepared. But I still have nightmares about the last seconds that LSU game in Baton Rouge when Dooley was coach and everyone was running around on the field and the sidelines like a Chinese fire drill. The Vols were doing pretty well in avoiding penalties up until a couple of games ago. I don't want to harp on it but they need to tighten back up. No need to give the other guys that kind of help.

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!

Yeah, that's good stuff. CPF (he'll always be coach to me) has always, at least tried to do what was in UT's best intrest. I sincerely believe that. I don't think that has changed. In short, I trust the man. It's been a rough 10 years or so since CPF was fired, but I can smell the wind of change. If nothing else, I believe he's on a mission to set a lot of things right.

That is terrific news. That is thing we never heard about under the LYLE Vile era........

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...

Hearing a few things coming out of fall camp. Keller Christ is finally settled down and is pushing Guarantano for starter. Ty Chandler is sharing 1st string snaps with Tim Jordan, both should get plenty of PT. Dominick Wood-Anderson is showing out at TE, and earning PT. OT lineup is taking shape, the return of Trey Smith and Chance Hall is a lot of the reason why. The WR's are off to a slow start, timing issues, dropsies. It sounds like Kongbo is moving to OLB. Shy Tuttle, Alexis Johnson, and Kyle Phillips are shaping up to be the d-line. I hear Greg Emerson, Kingston Harris, and Alonte Harris's names being mentioned a lot. JJ Peterson is missing camp so far. I hear he has academic issues.

Yeah Rob! Nice job!
