It's just me and the wife this weekend, thank goodness. Ashlee is doing great, she's as normal as any 19 month old.

Attached a picture, if you zoom in, you can see her scar on her chest. She's a BIG daddy's girl and will be missed (along with her sisters) this weekend but, this is a MUCH need break for me and my wife.

GBO!

Excellent! I do not see a scar… Only a beautiful, healthy baby girl.

Have a blast this weekend! Hope you get to witness an absolute throttling of Kentucky. Scream loud and a little bit extra for me.

Thanks for the update. So glad that she's doing so well. Ashlee's definitely going to keep mom and dad on their toes!!!

Poster on InsideTenn that has been correct on a number of things says CHance Hall is a no go for tomorrow. This OL can't get any kind of consistency if he is right.

You are a miserable cuss.

Best season with a chance at the SECCG and winning the East, but you and your cronies have to perpetuate The Legion of the Miserable. Way to go Champ, bet you are proud of yourself...

I am especially since I'm also a sunshine pumper... If I'm both what does that make me?

This has been the most beat up O line in the country this year, no exceptions... Every game at least one of our O linemen are on the ground and being helped off the field... every game... Have we even played a single game "full strength" on the O line this season? SMH
Very nervous about tomorrow- I know our boys are playing positive and seem to have a new energy, but we are still down at least 10 players who would be contributing. Putting Charles on the D line to help speaks volumes of where we are at this point. Enough guys have gotten good reps on the O line I think to help us limp to the end, but I am not getting a warm and fuzzy about the fact that most of our DT's tomorrow are converted DE's with a rogue O lineman thrown into the mix. We are going to have to take the bend but not break mentality on defense and force field goals and must click on all cylinders on offense to pull the W.... They are going to be fired up and smelling blood. Our crowd must do their part and own the noise.

What a beautiful little girl! So happy to hear she's healthy and thriving. She'll be rocking the orange in Neyland in no time at all.

I think this game goes as Dobbs goes. We have more playmakers on offense than they do and should win a shootout. JKelly, Malone, JJ, Byrd-- all bigtime weapons. Add in Wolf, JSmith, even Croom, and we have talent all over the field. If Kamara plays and Dobbs is allowed to scramble, we'll put up big yards.

If Barnett and Vereen can keep Johnson rattled, we should pull away early. Start fast, finish strong. It's our House, and dogs rule... not Cats.

She is precious. No matter how much we love the kids, there is nothing better than spending some quality one on one time with the best friend. Hope you get to enjoy a W too!

Great post-- agree with Dobbs. I think we all know he has had a leash on him a couple of games and told not to run, but I believe all bets are off the remainder of the season and the coaching staff knows we've got to do whatever is necessary, even letting Dobbs run wild...

Prob won't have a chance to rattle Johnson. He barely gets a chance to throw. They run wildcat more than anything. Barnett and Vereen will need to play very disciplined.

The key is as you say though the offense has to start fast and pound them early forcing KY to call more pass plays to catch up. If not KY will run run run and make this game go by fast

I hope we see a lot of Darrell Taylor tomorrow. I think he has the athleticism to keep contain on the edge. That's been my biggest problem with Vereen so far this year, although I do think it may be partly scheme related, the reason he crashes on almost every play.

Is Hall out for a long time or just this game- although this is certainly a very important game damnit! We can't catch a break! Was he out for A&M too I can't remember? Would Thomas take that spot for him and Weisman at center? Hope to goodness Kamara can play and Dobbs has a great game like last year.

My main concern is the coaches will try to protect Dobbs and not turn him loose-- which is one way we get behind early. I really think the key to winning this game is to play loose and aggressive, get out in front and refuse to let them catch up. Coming from behind in Neyland will be a tough task.

Playing conservative to protect Dobbs would be ridiculous this late in the season. This is an elimination game. Go all out and make a statement. That's what I'm hoping to see.

LWS thinks that Rich Rod might be in play for OC job if Debord steps down. He posted this on VQ...


"I've not tracked him as far as how good or bad he is as an OC or QB coach. I know his history at West Virginia, Michigan and Arizona as a head coach. I don't delve into coaches at other places but know several people that do. I would rely on their thoughts.

I have it on fairly good authority that CBJ likely would let him run with the offense and stay out of the way. I would have to see it to believe it though."
