Was gonna suggest the Peddler. I love Calhouns ribs are good spinach maria is great. For pancakes you cant go wrong with the Pancake Pantry but get there early. The Log Cabin is an excellent breakfast choice too. Im a little biased as these are long time family favorites. You know traditions and what not.

Recruiting is not the problem. Historically UT has cherry picked TN and high schools from the surrounding states like GA SC and NC. They also have gotten quality players from other places like Fl, TX, and CA. The past few years TN has proven that they can still recruit these areas, although not like the past. The bottom line is UT has a coach without the ability to make common sense decision. It doesn't take a Nick Saban to decide to run the ball from under center on first and goal. It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist with Alopecia to know that you can t get beat deep in the final seconds. The constant gimmicks and "coach speak" are enough to make a maggot vomit. Vols fans are tired of the dog and pony show. In five years, he makes similar mistakes and gives the same ole BS excuses. Not sure who the answer is but its not Butch. Do Vols fans expect too much? Maybe. Do they deserve an OVC coach? NO.

I've been a faithful Vol fan my entire life. I'm huge Coach Jones fan. I'm also a realist and understand that an injury here a big play there and the game can change in an instant. Go watch the Miracle at South Bend The Stumble and Fumble last years SC game or any late 90's UF game to see the talent and coaching does not always determine a winner. Until we WIN, despite arguments to contrary, we are still a middle of the road SEC team. I have nothing but high hopes and cautious expectations.

GO Vols

Thank you sir for proving my point. You are no different than the average Gump.

As an unbiased Vols Fan and UGA being my second fav SEC team, Bo equals GOAT. I have nothing but respect for Walker however BO was on a different planet athletically regardless of statistics.

I am a little older than Hater Bait and remember watching and praying to beat UA before '95. I know "UT fans" that considered the gayturds our main rival after we had beaten Bama three years in row. They did not understand the history between the two programs nor does this younger generation of SEC fans. I can understand this mentality due to UT's recent inability to compete on a regular basis. However, UA vs UT will always be THE GAME. So here's to you Hater Bait, a Bama fan that I can respect and Hate at the same time. Hoping for an injury free and competitive game on Saturday.

Go Big Orange

You have UTs schedule wrong. They start with Austin Peay. Should be a win. UFMatt I like your thinking, hope you are correct. Would love to see the Vols finish 7-5.

The little school in the middle of the state will take thier rightful place again. #candyboys

Agree that these uniforms suck, but uni advice from Cowbell U. :lol: I have no problem with black it was a team color at one time, as previously mentioned. However, Kittens black unis looked awful. Look forward to seeing a better product on the field than on the Vols' back.

I find them all to be Risky.

Cons
Hunter=Frail
Patterson= Which way do i go, which way do i go, which...
David Ricky= see ricky williams

Pros
Hunter= height, hands, and leaping- most level head of the 3
Patterson= Athletic Freak
David Ricky= See Ricky Williams

Choice= Hunter. If healthy he will be the best long term asset to the team.

I love the Vols, but with High Hopes the last few years, I am attempting to stay more level headed. I hope these early commits work out. We will only know when commits=victories. That being said Butch seems to be doing the right things to get the Vols competitive again.

GO VOLS GO SKYHAWKS
