Dang, the '9lbHammer' completely owned my inability to "string a sentence together" with that excellent capitalization.

Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica leaving ESPN, per report

I valued his trivia a LOT more than his picks. And I thought it was great when they started cutting to him from time to time. But then it got to be much more frequent. I guess he did like Rece Davis: "Give me more screen time or I'm gone." And they figured "gone" sounded better.

Will Rogers keeps promise with Lane Kiffin’s son, Knox, after Egg Bowl

To be fair, they were out of mustard.

Josh Heupel explains why he gave orange helmets a thumbs up: ‘I get excited any time they’re excited’

I thought the same thing. I'm no fashion expert, but the orange helmet would look better with orange pants.

Following Tennessee’s crushing loss to BYU, Twitter questions what could have been had Mike Leach landed on Rocky Top

Pruitt might turn into a great HC one day. The problem is that he's learning how to be a HC while he's trying to build a roster and re-develop culture. An experienced, proven HC wouldn't have the issue of learning to be a HC and all that it entails. Sure, Kirby seems to have made a good transition, but every situation is different and Smart didn't walk into a program that had been bouncing off the walls like a drunk in the men's room for 10 years. Maybe Pruitt develops into a great coach, maybe not. How patient will Vol Nation, Fulmer, and UT leadership be?

Message to his team? Jeremy Pruitt brings up Gainesville when asked about Knoxville heat

No, it's probably not all he's got. I suspect he saves the good stuff for high-caliber responders.

So? It's consistent with their past press in the lead-up to this game.

Did Urban Meyer know ahead of time?

Tennessee paid for Alvin Kamara’s damage to Alabama’s engineering building

Unfortunately I get the impression somebody did pay - to make them look that way. :)

Report: Phillip Fulmer ‘sabotaging’ search process in hopes of becoming AD

Thanks for that perspective, Double-O. Do you have any links to said Vol's local boards? I'd love to have info from better sources than clickbait writers and people who are too emotionally invested in things to have an objective view.

Report: Phillip Fulmer ‘sabotaging’ search process in hopes of becoming AD

You are correct. UT has had some serious issues at the top for some time. I've told others that I have to wonder if someone there had an interest in keeping UT athletics (esp. football) down. But in any case, top leadership has done some things the last 10 years that don't seem right for folks who are supposed to have the best interests of UT at heart.

ESPN Radio host: No big time coach would even think about going to Tennessee now

John, based on your logic, Bama in the mid 2000s would not be a destination job after the Shula/Price debacles.
