Football please come soon. I'm watching Vols games right now. Watching this Oklahoma game is pissing me off. The refs killed us. I can't wait for that game to hit Neyland. That fumble they didn't give us along with the blatant holding that they wouldn't call was horrible. Got a feeling this game will be like Cal 2006. :)

Watching the Orange and White game on TV and they were talking about Jalen's weight. I'm paraphrasing, but the strength coach apparently told the commentators he wanted Jalen at 230 and that 240 was a lot of size. Also that weight might be possible as a senior. Fast forward to now, Jalen is apparently 240. I wonder what changed?
