I have zero problem with them not commenting. My problem is the dragging it out. Make a decision and move forward. The only comment that needs to be made is whether or not Pruitt is coach next year. It's as if there is no plan other than to look stupid. In the chase of the investigation, they've totally forgotten there is still a football program that need to be held together. That should be a primary focus of the AD, but apparently he has his thumb up his butt. And it should be a concern of Boyd and Plowman, but apparently they give no *****. That's a problem IMO.

No, the problem was bringing in outside counsel to run a deep investigation. That takes time. When you turn things over to legal, you follow their process on their timeline.

They have a decision. They made it months ago. The investigation had the potential to change the decision. But they never needed that. Any coach on staff can be fired at any time, regardless of findings. They could have cleaned house in November and moved forward with a clean slate. That was not their decision. They could start firing next week or the week after or the week after that.

UT is moving forward. Fans and media continue to speculate while UT goes about business. The coaches are recruiting, in addition to having to re-recruit our own players. And some of them want to be re-recruited like they're a prize recruit. It's ridiculous. But you reap what you sow. And now we're reaping.

Yep. It’s funny how we have people who pretend like they’ve had Pruitt figured out all along. Nobody was on that band wagon at all after we had won 6 straight and recruiting was hot. They can’t see the forest for the trees.

buddy is a Chef, er was. Says most our fresh Seafood in US comes from Louisiana, save local shrimp or oysters. Most aficionados know when they go to market what the differences are. I dont.

Sometimes local market gets fresh caught snapper, grouper, or Cobia. If what my friend says holds true, then 'fresh' may mean a few days old.

we go to the beach up and down the carolina coast...Wilmington, Ocean Isle, Hilton Head, Charleston....etc...

we've always found local seafood markets with fresh catch....and most usually have frozen snow/king crab legs just b/c there's always some demand for it....

but when we went to Charleslton last time, there was a restaurant right on the fishing docks, open air bars and seating...anyway, the bars had grills going, so as guys came back from fishing, they'd literally buy the fish off the boat, throw it on the grill....and you just eat and drink. pretty awesome....no menu.

and there's a great little seafood market we go to in Wilmington all the time where we get soft shell crab, local shrimp and whatever 'catch of the day' they may have.......

typically, unless it is really a locally owned place that's not a tourist trap, most restaurants aren't getting their seafood daily fresh, even on the coast....Louisiana is an exception b/c of all the local places that will only use louisiana product. there's just a ton of them down there that do that....

anyway...when i go to wherever on the coast, i'm either finding the market buying it and cooking it myself, or i'm searching out the true local joints, like the ones mentioned above....especially if there's a specific cuisine to the area...low county, cajun etc....

i can get crab legs and lobster at the store around the corner at home.

Then current and potential players need to be made aware that he's definitely returning because the uncertainty they feel about it is absolutely hurting us.

When opposing fans think of UT, what do you think they feel more, pity or humor at how far we've fallen?

I live in Alabama. UT is considered a joke. A picture of how not to run a football program. Its becoming an embarrassment to rep UT, and if you pump shine EAD sheep. It was pity 4 years ago, its a joke now.
