It looks like Vandy will run the ball almost every play. Mason is trying to run Stanford's offense. They are running a lot of I formation. When they do decide to throw it, the QB arm strength looks weak

I swear I'm not making this up. On Sunday morning in 1982 at church they announced to the congregation during the announcements at the beginning of service that we'd broke the Bama streak. Bama was ranked #2 and we were unranked. The church cheered. Whats more remarkable is that we were in Boston. I was a kid fresh out of the Navy and some of my friends had gone to Boston for school and mission work. Anyway, I again absolutely expect a lot of celebrations all over the country when we break their streak this time. Will it be this year? Stranger things have happened. We weren't expecting it in 1982. The Bear retired after that year rather than face what was to come. Just know that the party lasts for weeks. :)

I partially agree with this. I think Worley starts the season and Ferguson gets some garbage time. It will be an attempt to get Dobbs a redshirt and an extra year, while at the same time getting Ferguson some experience. If something happens to Worley, you make the decision of Dobbs vs Ferguson. If Ferguson did well in garbage time, you give him the chance so Dobbs can keep on the redshirt train. If Ferguson didnt do so well in garbage time, you burn Dobbs' redshirt again.

My thoughts as well....:shades: fwiw

Yes, that is the part I do not understand. He did not want her to be with blacks in pictures, but she is like half African-American? This is beyond my comprehension. If I did not like African-Americans then I certainly would not be going to ballgames with someone that was half black or sleeping with them. By the way, I'm not racist. In fact it about killed me when I was a kid and some of my friends were sleeping over so we could get an early start at some serious basketball competition, and my parents would not let a friend of mine spend the night due to his color. ( What would the neighbors think? ) That we were smart sensible people maybe.

From the I understood his rant and the circumstances the guy is racist POS and one who was more afraid of people thinking the guys she was hanging out with were sleeping with her than anything else. He was concerned with appearances - didn't care if she really did sleep with them but he didn't want people to *think* she was sleeping with them because he thought that made him look bad. Racism/racists aren't always consistent in their views - Strom Thurmond had a black daughter he took care of financially/even cared for behind the scenes while he was fighting for segregation.

Your right, it usually is not consistent.

There is a ‘wow’ factor everywhere you turn in the facility. Tennessee director of football operations Chris Spognardi, an extremely sharp individual who has worked alongside Butch Jones for the last seven years, said that Jones never stops thinking about facility enhancements that appeal to high school recruits. Even more importantly, he wants the UT football facility to be different. I agree: You can’t just do what everyone else is doing and try to do a little bit better. That’s wasting time. The latest project is coming this summer when a “Rockefeller Center” type of media center is constructed inside the Tennessee football facility.

This was a quote from Pete Rousell's article mentioned on page 217.

Can anyone speak to the changes that CBJ has made to the football facilities? I thought the new training center was supposed to be state of the art. Personally, I love how UT's indoor training field is attached and part of the rest of the facilities including the weight room. Most of the other ones I see in pictures aren't attached like that and it looks really integrated.

Your whole generation acts entitled? I can't even take you seriously with these massive generalizations. Every single member of your generation acts entitled? Sure there are plenty of people who act entitled, just like every other generation. There are plenty of people who don't act entitled, just like every other generation.
