There is no way to prove this now but at the time…. Nick was like Heup….. a young good coach that hadn’t proven a lot… I believe he would ran to the SEC to coach a Tenn team from Michigan state… Neither Nick nor Heup would go the other direction once they became household names.

Disagree. I remember all the coaches that turned us down because of the problems in the AD and with boosters. If there had not been that, then sure he would probably have loved to come to an SEC school and so would the others.

I would like to know also. I get vertigo sometimes when my neck goes out. I’ve had several doctors and nurses tell me that is not the reason. I just try to get it back in or go to the chiropractor knowing it will stop. Is it standard to say they have nothing to do with each other? Can it show up on an MRI? I did have a NP that did something where I let my head fall off the back of the table with head turned to one side and eyes open while he caught it and held for several seconds. The room was spinning and tried to not throw up, but the vertigo was gone!

Hope the answer to doc helps you, gal. It sounds very similar.

Anyone who thought Tennessee could NEVER get back was engaging in serious cope. In this conference and with our resources and tradition, we were always just a sleeping giant. Comparing us to fallen powers like Nebraska and Colorado was never a legitimate argument.

I agree completely and that was always my argument. OU fans are idiots though.

Is Churchill the real hero? He was doing what he needed to do for survival. I have a hard time calling any politician a hero. Maybe that's just me. The real heroes were the soldiers who fought the battles.

Without the bomb, millions of more Allied lives are lost, and Russia enters the war with Japan, resulting in Japan being divided like Germany was.

I get what you're saying about 'heroes'. I come from a family of soldiers. Without Churchill, though, Europe falls to Hitler. His decisive actions were heroic.

As I mentioned, the first bomb is up for debate. I understand both sides of the equation. It helped bring a premature end to the war so it was hugely beneficial to the US -- and (maybe, possibly) the future of Japan. It would take an 'optimistic' lens to see it that way but I get the argument. All that being said, it was a human disaster that affected two generations of Japanese families. There's no denying that. It also pulled the curtain back on nuclear weapons and ignited the arms race we still deal with today. There's no denying that either.

The second bomb? No way.

Who were the coaches that turned us down that would be considered on the level of Nick or Heup when they were just starting…. We were shooting for “over the moon”…. Those coaches like Matt Campbell had too many options to come here.

Still early, but I believe we ended up with who we needed. Heupel and White/administration has resuscitated the football program.

Tennessee basketball transfer BJ Edwards has committed to SMU, the freshman point guard announced on social media Friday afternoon.

The Knoxville native will play for former Tennessee basketball assistant coach Rob Lanier with the Mustangs. Lanier was named SMU’s head coach on March 27 following three seasons in charge at Georgia State.

I hope both of those dudes do well at SMU.

OK, out of left field post. Went to the Korn Ferry Tour event here in Huntsville. Would kind of like to go to the one in Knoxville (end of May). When did hotels start pricing over $200/night up there? I'm probably just living in the past.

Are you really gonna argue that the LSU program was nuked as bad as ours had been for 12+ years? LSU was not the butt of decade long nationwide ridicule when he took over and it is way easier to get your talent situation fixed at LSU than here.

He would have NEVER taken a job like the one Heupel took on.

That guy is looking for someone to talk to him so he can drag out the conversation while spewing as much anti-Vol garbage as possible and find multiple ways to praise Vol rivals. Just watch him in action.
