Guess we're in peak LeBron season once again.

Every year this sort of silliness starts up after LeBron beats substandard competition in the Eastern Conference. And then in a few weeks he'll fail miserably once again the NBA Finals and the talk of him being in the same realm as Jordan dies once again.

Do y'all not get tired of this same song and dance EVERY YEAR?

If LeBron gets by the Celtics (which is doubtful IMO), all he's doing is getting beat once again in the Finals. 3-6 is not gonna help him in an argument against 6-0.

Why cant you be this rational all the time? Excellent post.

"I feel like I fit in well with the people of Tennessee," he said. "Most important thing is that I understand the expectations."

Those expectations are all over the map for the Vols, judging from the 400 or so folks who ignored early threatening weather to see and hear from their UT coaching heroes. At least one fan asked Pruitt what it would take to beat Alabama, which has rolled over the Vols for 11 straight seasons. That same fan wondered when UT might return to the SEC title game, or win another national championship, as it last did under Fulmer in 1998.

With wisdom belying his first season as a head coach on any level, Pruitt replied, "I hope we have bigger goals than just beating one team (Bama). We want to get to the point where everyone is worried about beating Tennessee."

Cindy Coleman brought her 8-year-old son Jacob down from Cleveland, Tenn., to meet Pruitt.

"It was so awesome," she said of the autographs the two collected. "(Pruitt's) cool, but he's tough. I think I was more excited than the kids."

Here's cool: When Bob Kesling asked Pruitt about his father bringing out the best in him, Prutt replied, "My mom got the best out of me."

Here's tough: In discussing this coming season's potential stars, Pruitt said: "There's some guys who've played a lot of football for Tennessee who may not get to play much this year."

Once again, thanks for the awesome info on ET. I'm taking notes and over the next couple of years on fb trips and such we'll be checking out these areas, especially those we haven't spent much time in.

If I may, a couple more questions. What about the area along I40

Surprisingly, nobody has offered any opinions on Knox County. Anyone have anything?

I've spent a good amount of time in cocke county and love it up there. Ive ridden a lot of backroads in the area and can confirm what everyone else has said, it's best to stay out of some places and helps if you know some locals.

Harlan county makes Cocke county look like Disneyworld by comparison..
 
Just ask Raylan

I live here. It really is bad in a lot of places. I had a job here working for the county driving poor people to their doctors appointments, and it helped me get ingratiated into the community. I have no fear of going anywhere here now, but you don't want to go in a lot of those hollers if you are a stranger.
