Lighten up. No one is joking about Butch losing a family member. It was a jab at our kicker. You're being too literal.

The jabs at "our" kicker are getting as stale as the Rod Wilks jokes were.

Please please please come to UT and be a VFL however if you don't live up to expectations be prepared to be the butt of endless stupid jokes and bad mouthed unmercifully.

So, this doesn't apply to Dooley and Sal? Because I've seen a few jabs thrown at them.....by you.

No it doesn't Dooley and Sal were paid millions to do a job. Palardy on the other hand is a kid doing the best he can.

btw, you would have to dig hard to find where I've said anything about Dooley or Sal it's typically not my style. Not saying I haven't I'm sure I have but it would be a rare find.

Were you the guy who was such a champion raising money for the young man who lost his life at the game last year? Maybe I just have you confused with someone else.

What's your point exactly?

The point, GL, is that when people don't live up to our expectations, whether it be a player, coach, fan, etc..., sometimes they catch a little flack from time to time.

It doesn't make us any less of a fan for stating our opinion, nor you more of a fan for not stating yours.

Fade and I were bantering back and forth at Palardy's expense. No one's getting hurt here, so how about we just let it go and not continue to argue over something trivial, ok?

You got your man; doesn't mean a little humor about our kicker isn't ok. Again, too literal.

I would be after reading the story in the TFP of his visit to The Orange Grove Center in Chattanooga yesterday. Great stuff, but i love this part...

Such as the 2009 game between Butch Jones' Central Michigan team and Michigan State.
Struggling the whole time against the No. 12 Spartans, his Chippewas pulled within 27-26 with 32 seconds to play. Jones elected to go for the two-point conversion rather than try his luck with overtime. The two-pointer failed.
Weeks before, as CMU was in the middle of training camp, the coach's father passed away. On that final night at the hospital, Jones asked the nurses for the ID bracelet his father had been wearing. He put it in his pocket for good luck, placing it there every day.
After the two-pointer came up short, Jones ordered an onside kick -- "which we practiced every day and it never worked," he related with a smile.
This time it did, however. And a few seconds and two pass plays later, the Chippewas found themselves with a 42-yard field-goal attempt to steal an unlikely win.
"I went up to our kicker on the sideline, and you could tell he was pretty nervous," Jones said. "I pulled out my father's ID bracelet and put it in his hands. I said, 'You kick it and my dad will take care of the rest.'"
Replied kicker Andrew Aguila: "I can do that."
Bending it like Beckham, as the soccer guys say, he did exactly that, coaxing the ball through the uprights for a 29-27 win.
In the indomitable spirit of the Orange Grove Center, that's focusing on what you can do rather than what you can't. That's how you grow smiles by the miles.

I got to go and I was gonna post this story on here, but this is the first time I had a chance to get on. I was told it would be a small event so I would have a chance to meet him and stuff. That didn't happen, not even a little bit... so I was kinda disappointed but it was still better than bein at work. He was a pretty interesting speaker too

I was more talking about the never ending ridicule that Palardy receives on here which is way more then a "little flack". I agree a little banter here and there doesn't hurt anyone. I quoted your post then immediately deleted the quoted part because my post wasn't meant to be directed at anyone in particular.

Rivals doesn't set my expectations for any player including Palardy so I'm never really disappointed. A kid is as good as he is not what some "expert" says he should be.

Coaches are always fair game for their failures.

Volly, I didn't mean any disrespect for CBJ's father. It was a light hearted joke aimed at Palardy. I can be negative about our Vols, but I'm not cruel. My apologies if you were offended.

well, now I'm even more of a fan of CBJ. Makes me kind of glad looking back that we didn't get any one else... even if he doesn't bring UT back to dominance, he deserved the chance to coach a high-end school in the SEC

NVM had to read down a little farther. Sorry to anybody that saw that. :hi:I jumped the gun on my castigation. However those responses were crass sounding in the context of the story itself.

This thread is a great example as to why this message board blows. Might as well rename it VolCesspool.
