Yall agree to disagree. Moving on. What jersey number will Bryce wear if/when he comes to Knoxville? Does Todd Campbell give up #11?

This is a great question. I asked about this earlier and I don't think anyone has posted on it, yet.

It is nice to have a west coast agitator on the board from time to time, and Wheaton is much better than Seth ever was. He has a long way to go to catch Droski though.

I heard you on the radio the other day, Kevin. I had just read the thread where you told people BB had committed to doing your show, and just so happened to flip on 102.3 as I was driving, and it was you on there with whoever those guys are(Not a daily listener). Heard you mention Volnation without saying the name, as well...

In fairness, I didn't even mention my show by name. There had been a statement made about some content on my show that wasn't accurate and I was just clearing it up.

Droski does add a nice Pac-10 perspective to VN. I missed Seth, as I joined VN too late for that exposure.

Btw… for all you morning guys who may not have time to wade through all the posts for BB updates, not much has changed from yesterday. Most are expecting the Browns to visit Knoxville on an unofficial visit and the sentiment that BB will be a Vol continues to build. BB’s official announcement is on Monday at 1 PM.

Most still feel that it's between UT and Miami, as the whole Oregon thing still seems too far fetched for a superstar player like Bryce.

Yet, worth the time in the UT versus Oregon debate, Tenacious D posted another solid contribution to VN with these three posts demonstrating factually how UT is vastly superior to Oregon. A lot of meaningless rhetoric from wheaton followed. The Oregon Troll apparently tried to complete a Wikipedia/Google based crash course on logic in one of the most desperate attempts to save face that I’ve seen on VN. Bottom line: as we all know, when you get your butt kicked on VN intellectually, it is probably best to admit it and move on.

Has anyone else given thought to the fact that IF BB comes to UT and IF Kiffin hadnt politely told Boyd that hes skills would be a better fit somewhere other than UT, we would have BOTH Army All American co-MVP's on our team.

Along those lines, Id be curious to find out what Boyd told BB about UT/Kiffin. One would have to imagine it wasnt anything very bad, otherwise BB wouldnt still be considering UT. Any thoughts?

Welcome! By the looks of your picture, it comes from South of the Mason Dixon Line, not the Mass. area. I hope you come South to fish more often. make yourself welcome to the board, post often, and get lots of good info on our beloved Vols! :hi:

I realize that it's enough to make anyones eyes blur over. But, did you not see that Tenacious D started with long post directed at me, on the subject of UO/UT?

Actually I did, but here is the difference: I will criticize outsiders before family any day. Remember, blood is thicker than water!

Wow...Wheaton is persistent. You know what I tell my kids when someone just won't be quiet. IGNORE THEM. If nobody listens or responds...THEY GO AWAY. If you want the west coast Duck to shut up...IGNORE HIM. Our banter and long diatribes with him only fuel his responses. Pretend he is not here...and eventually he will fade away.

So, what time does BB arrive in Knox-Vegas this weekend?

touching in on the whole Oregon-UT thing, i have to say that you can't reject wheaton's points out of hand. yes, tn has a much better tradition in football and a better history of putting players in the NFL, but most of these recruits are all about the right now. sadly that means our 5-7 season is what a lot of these guys are thinking about with tn (that being said, the excitement of CLK and his staff has gone beyond overcoming that handicap). basically what i'm saying is, yes (IMO) tn is the beeter choice for BB based on tradition, conference, PT, and ability to make it to the pros. however, in the past few years oregon has done a better job of producing NFL backs than the vols. that is a FACT. i know tn has still placed more players into the big league over the last couple of years and we've even had more first rounders, but at BB's position, oregon isn't a bad bet for making it to the pros. now if we want to get into success over recent years and teams on the rise and fall, i would call it a push. tn is about to rise up again and they've won their division 4 times this decade. oregon has not. to me, that screams that, despite tn's woes, they still have a more realistic shot at a national championship than the ducks. that doesn't mean it is out of the realm of possibility that oregon could sneak up on USC and win the PAC-10 and make it to the big game, it just seems unlikely. i will be the first to admit tn has had a couple tumultuos seasons in the past 5 years or so, but they've also shown great resiliancy by winning the toughest division in all of college football (i don't think many would argue that, but i suppose that is not a factual statement). oregon's biggest problem is not their tradition. it is USC. simply put, the PAC-10 is not a very strong conference top to bottom and USC is so far ahead of everyone else it hurts the other teams. so while oregon is comparitavely better than the rest of the PAC-10 (sans USC) right now, there is still a stigma attached to their and the rest of the PAC-10's programs. very very few people actually expect any team not named souther cal to contend for a national title out of the PAC-10. that is why i think oregon is out of the race for BB. he wants to win a championship, and based on both recent history and overall history, i would say tn has the edge. IMO, we've got a superior staff (at least as far as recruiters, and i am loving the discipline), better (bigger) fanbase, more national exposure, fairly equal facilities (oregon may have a slight edge there), better tradition and history, and we present a better opportunity to win championships. i think BB is a vol. i think this weekend is about making papa brown comfortable.
wheaton, i've said it before, i enjoy having you (and most other reasonable fans of opposing teams) come on here and present a different point of view. however, your last few posts were way too long winded and over the top. you refute a lot of what people (fans and recruits) care about football programs based solely on what you deem to be the program with more recent success. i think you do not consider how important it truly is for recruits to go to a school with and a history of winning. like i said, i agree that recent history is what is initially on these kids' minds when they're choosing a school, i just think history and tradition play a big role in the process as well (otherwise bammer would never have been able to overcome how crappy they had gotten). i know ten d's posts were very long and avoided covering a few points RELEVANT to (specifically) BB, but his points were still explanitory for why many recruits would choose tn over oregon. history sells, my friend.

everybody needs to quit being a-holes to wheaton. yea i know he dwells on our 5-7 record as compared to oregon's 10-3 record last year, but it is a VALID point (perhaps not so much as he likes to claim, but it definitely holds water). i think oregon was at one time BB's school of choice, but our coaching staff worked hard and convinced him otherwise. i don't think that says anything bad about oregon. it only speaks well of our staff's ability.

i apologize for rambling on like this. i haven't slept in like 41 hours and i'm running on fumes here.
