Dude, you're responding to me like I give a shite.

Do you really think I care about some 1941 trophy or whatever drivel you're slobbering about?

You're more pathetic than morons that call Finebaum. Get a clue Corky.

1938, 1950 and 1998 are legit

1940 is Dunkel and Williamson who we already know from your review are morons, so that one is out

1967 you lost 2 games and only won Litkenhous. That's as bad as our 1941. Out.

Butch has been recruiting lights out and has overseen improvements In nearly every aspect of the team (attitude, grades, embracing tradition, engaging fans, attendance, overall perception, visibility, etc). Hes improved his win total by 2 wins from year 1 to year 2, despite playing the youngest team in the nation against a very difficult schedule. Next year, we will still have a young team, but we should win no less than 8 games, including one of bama uga or uf. Im gonna wait til next season to appraise his coaxhing abilities. I don't think he's has the players to run the system hea wanted until this coming season. If our O-Line develops enough, we could be a formidable team, barring injuries, because the rest of our position groups are solid. We should make some noise in the east this year, and start competing for the SEC in '16

When the 1st game comes around, how many guys on scholarship are y'all going to have (even add in the blue shirts and all that?) close to 100?

The plan is to have close to 200. We're implementing green shirts, grey shirts, yellow shirts, and purple shirts. Their meaning is a closely guarded secret.

Very diverse of you. Recruiting should pick up in the Bay Area. And Johnson City.

Yeah, you have no clue what you're talking about. This post from ericvol.......


This post has been bookmarked. You can view and maintain bookmarks by clicking on the Bookmarks link that is in the top left corner of the page.

Tennessee has exactly 85 scholarship players including these two blue shirts right now.

The only reason we have to blue shirt them was to get past the 25 initial counter limit from the SEC and we are forward counting them to next years class when we won't have the room in the 85 limit to take a full class anyway.

It is a great job by Butch to maximize our roster within the rules and absolutely zero current players have to be processed because of it.

As an Alabama fan I'm just going to go ahead and let you know that to the rest of the world that is considered "processing".

From what I've read from UT insiders is only 2 left due to lack of playing time or depth chart. However, I know this is what rivals will say. I don't really care either way.

If a kid leaves because he isn't getting PT or because of the depth chart that's his call anyway.

The only way I see something as "processing" is when coaches pretty clearly tell a kid to move on, whether it's a phantom injury or a senior with his degree.

But, like I said, people would rather just lump um all in there......even though every school has 4-5 transfers a year.

Yeah, I'm cool with it. I'd rather a coach be honest and say" you may have a tough time getting on the field here. It may be in your best interest to find a school where you'll get to play more."

Nathan Peterman got the hook up. Got a free Degree from Tennessee, now gets to go play at Pitt.

We've done that with tons of kids, Dee Hart is the latest one. And some just decide that they'd rather go to grad school (on our dime) after getting their degree (on our dime) and being on the roster for 4 years. Most of them are adults at that point. They understand the situation.

Sometimes crappy things happen in recruiting (Darius Philon is one for us that sucked, but worked out for him) but most of the time it is just people being jelly.

I mean, if all of this was so terrible for kids............don't you think they'd be blowing the horn and calling every media outlet in America and/or b*tching on twitter?

No that was Brian Kelly's interim replacement. Jones came in after Kelly left (at both CMU and Cincy).
