Blob is not good, but I'll take him over Larry Munson anyday.  At least you can understand Blob.  Munson is incoherent half the time.  He'll call a play and then start babbling about something that happened in 1938.

I've got a question for Mr. Hovanik:

Just who do you think paid for all those facilities, the renovated INDOOR practice field, Neyland Stadium, the coaches' salaries, the palatial new UTAD offices and everything else that is Volunteer Football?

Players?

Coaches?

Mike Hamilton?

Smokey?

You?

No, dammit, WE the fans built it - one ticket, one coke, one UT graduate, one donation, one FAN at a time - and by Thunder if we want to gripe about the product WE have paid for, we DO have that right.

Thank you.

I called in on Bill King's show last night and talked with him about this comment. After I told him how many games I had been to, he said that I have probably been to more games than about 98% of former players. LOL

I may not be a big money donor, but I have travelled many miles in support of the the Big Orange. To have someone tell me that I have no right to be embarrassed is just ridiculous.
