Amen, brother...

Dammit, Vandy. They're going after Stanford's DC. I hope he declines.

Tennessee signed a deal with Nike, starting July 2015.

I don't believe that's for sure. I think we keep the greys, but they will probably look different.

An article I read said Tennessee will get something like one million over the first 4 years and 900k over the last 4 years. Then 100k for each championship. It's more to do with money than uniform issues.

New SEC/ESPN commercials. I like them.

For a few of your guys' teams:

South Carolina:


Texas A&M:


LSU:


That's all I can remember that have fans on the board.

Here's my favorite, of course:

Butch Jones doing big thangs up there on ole rocky top eh db.

We`ve done pretty good on the recruiting trail. Hopefully they all qualify.

Going to be an interesting season.

Wonder if the SEC Network is going to have as much trouble being carried in Austin as the Longhorn Network had? They're both ESPN-based. And Time Warner Cable is essentially not adding any new expenses while the Comcast deal is pending. Of course, the next time the local ABC/ESPN/Disney rights come up for renewal, the cable company will be held hostage with the threat that ALL their channels will be pulled if they don't carry everything the network wants them to carry so, eventually, the channel will get here. Maybe not this year though.

He can recruit. Now they have to get it done on the field. Hoping for a Bowl. No player on our roster has been to one.

I do have much respect and warm feelings for Mack Brown but his voice always sounded to me like a rooster with a sore throat. Won't be the worst commentator I've ever listened to (the late Johnny Unitas will probably keep that title) but I may need some Sucrets to listen to that voice for three hours.
