Of course that didnt last very long, but thank you Dooley. Thank you for making me wish, for a brief time, that I was not a football fan, you clown.

I encourage anyone and everyone to listen to Basilio's podcast from yesterday's show. The entire show was entitled:

"Derek Dooley: Tell me a story"

All callers had stories about how much of a complete a** he was, on and off the field.


Great Radio.

The post above your last one said that Direct TV was the last provider not to make a deal with the SEC Network. Therefore they would, by default, be next. I wasn't sure if my sarcasm meter needed an alignment or not.

Big gulps huh? Welp see ya later.

Oh please, please, pretty please!!! My wife has already told me how stupid I would be to change TV providers to get one channel. Some Gamecock fan she is...I was trying to make a good move for the both of us.

Unfortunately this will probably be your best bet:
WNML The Sports Animal

They had a shake up at Tennessee Sports Radio last week and will only be available for a few more weeks. Although the app for that station will carry Jason Swain and Seth Stokes in the mornings.

Tennessee Sports Radio - Tennessee's Sports Stations, The Station For Volnation, Vols Football, Basketball, and more.

This podcast has some good interviews

Live Vol radio show Big Orange Saturday Night from 10-midnight every Saturday night. Call in (657) 383-0822. Download podcast on iTunes: itun.es/i6gh4nZ

That sucks. I listened to Jimmy Hyams and the other guy on Friday afternoon while driving from Louisville to Cookeville. They were awful! Do they even care about Tennessee football? I know it was a small sample, but they definitely didn't do anything to make me want to come back.

I will go along with your score prediction. I heard a couple of the guys on one of the sports radio shows in Knoxville this morning talk like they felt Tennessee should win the first two games but they also thought that both USU and Arky St. had the talent to beat Tennessee.
They apparently were going by what they did last year and must have not looked at what players they had returning. It would be nice to have some radio sports talk shows in Knoxville that actually had some good things to say about Tennessee football and basketball. Two or three of those guys will talk against Tennessee until they win 3 or 4 National Titles in a 4 or 5 year period and they still won't have much good to say about Butch Jones.

Its not a radio hosts job to be a homer. Their job is to give their opinion based off their knowledge of whatever topic or team is being discussed. if want homer radio listen to TSR which is done on the 29th. Obviously a radio station that is 100% homer didnt last longer than 4 years. Sunshine pumping radio doesnt work. Negativity and controversial radio does. I would rather hear the truth about the Vols than some radio host speaking untruths just to make me feel better. Three years under Dooley we stunk up the SEC but hey lets speak positively about the team after losing to Kentucky so I feel better. Or a radio host keeping it real saying we suck and Dooley should be fired.

I remember sitting in the stands as the clock ticked down and people continued to file out. I only get the opportunity to go to one game a year, I usually pick a big opponent, and it usually ends with us losing. However, game day was in town and I was jacked up about seeing us finally getting a W over Florida and how I was going to drink the town dry in the aftermath.

I remember kind of soaking the atmosphere in - the sky, the stadium, the beauty of it all, combined with the crushing disappointment of how that game went.

I also remember saying to my wife, "Im done. I cant be this emotionally invested in something when it causes much more pain than joy."

Of course that didnt last very long, but thank you Dooley. Thank you for making me wish, for a brief time, that I was not a football fan, you clown.

Haha. I went through basically the same emotions.

I remember walking out of the stadium and telling my girlfriend something similar about how stupid I was for letting the outcome of football games influence my life.

I'm pretty sure that was the first time I ever deleted all college football-related accounts from my Twitter feed and had a media blackout....until the next game, at least.

I've done that a few times since then, haha. Think I did it after UGA 2013 and again after Vandy 2013. Never fails that I get sucked right back in within days, though.

TEACHING MATH IN 1980

TEACHING MATH IN 1990
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

TEACHING MATH IN 2000
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)

TEACHING MATH IN 2007
Un ranchero vende una carretera de madera para $100. El costo de la produccion era $80. Cuantos tortillas se puede comprar?
