Martin got kicked off because he regressed so much from his junior year in highschool.. He was super slow apparently... And given what our db's look like this year, he must be pretty freaking slow.

Actually it is. I was just watching Moonshiners and they were talking about how the flavors are more profitable because they cut it to 40 proof...and make a 300% profit. Believe me bro...I'm from the Appalachian Mountains and I've had shine from very good stills...say whatchu want about Ole Smokey store bought shine...but its high quality!!

Now, I will admit, old timers that used Jolly Ranchers and home made hard candy for flavor infusion had some serious shine...but it's rare that it ain't cut down any more.

That's what I said earlier. I think he sells it or something.

Yea, I think thats just the legal garbage they sell an try to pass off as moonshine. You want the real stuff you got to find somebody that looks like one of the guys off that show an buy it out of the back of a pick-up truck.

He was admitted to school and practicing. Grades had nothing to do with his departure

I said it with a question mark and that I didn't know.

I was just pointing out that it's possible for people to not get in because of grades. You made it sound like people have to be in college for grades to be an issue.

My inside source continues to say Gruden has been offered 6 mil per to come here. Looking good on that front but nowhere near a done deal.

Source added tonight that Jimbo Fisher wants out of FSU and is hot on the TN job.

Won't reveal the source, of course, but he holds part of a record on the football field for UT that will likely never be matched. And no, he's not a member of the current UT defensive squad. Had a look or two in the pros, but he's back home and closely tied in with the program.

40 proof ain't shine.. Peach I ma... Uurrr get is basically half a mason jar of pure grain alcohol, with half peach liqueur .. That's what they sellin nowadays boys. So if half of a given volume is 100%, and the other half is 20%, that would make about 60% would it not? So 120 proof is what the men drink. We should send some to gruden. You Newport, Greenville, mosheim posters need to get on this.

Had a great conversation with a friend who happened to play in the mid eighties.First he is still very connected to the program.He said with out a shadow of doubt Dooley was done.(Which we all already knew).Then he told me that JG was a ga when he was there.He said one of the reasons he thinks JG wants to be here is Majors.I was in shock and ask why.He said think about this your a young coach hinging on every word of your first mentor.Who better to tell the history and storys of Tn.football than JM.Said it has always left a huge impression on Jg.Thats the reason he values this job.In a way hes coming home to what he considers his football mecca.On a side note he said he is a very humble approachable guy.Unlike what we just got rid of.He said he was going to take his Dad to a practice this summer and was told he couldnt do it on the day he requested.So he went any way.When he got toHaslem field 20min before practice was starting Dooley was there chewing out a gardner for the way he was triming the hedges.

Not too far from a post I made a month or so ago about practice. Fulmer and Kiffin extended a personal invite to me for practice access but Dooley yanked it so I have not been since his hire. The guy in my avi (who you may recognize) was a player while JG was a ga and I have heard similar intel about JG love for UT and Majors.

I did realize I was making it worse and did bow out. Be glad when this fan base is united again. Direct our hate where it belongs towards Bama and Fla. instead of towards each other.

You're right, Jake. I personally don't like their mash bill. Ole Smokey is high quality, however, the recipe isn't the greatest. Plus, there's no fun in legal shine. I'd rather spend my money on a good bourbon.
