Right now, Would you allow Travis Haney into your football facility if you were Butch? Be honest

Sure!

I'd let him in, invite him up for a tour of the locker room, and then shut him in the trainer's closet Mike Leach style.


Not sure what in the hell that has to do with Butch's thin skin though.

It's amazing the leeway given to a coach when he wins a few national championships.

It's really simple folks. Winning is everything. If Butch were to put up a string of 10 win seasons and a couple championships, nobody would talk about his whining, champions of life, etc... Saban gets that kind of fear/respect/whatever because he's earned it.

I'm sure Butch understand this.

We aren't where we want to be yet but we're miles ahead of where we were as a program. People forget just how far we had fallen. Butch deserves at least SOME level of respect for that.

Not sure why everyone thought we would be back on top competing for champions in 2-3 years. Delusional fan base.

So you'd have a pocket list. Got it.

Idk about a pocket list. I'd make sure to keep track of which guys I feel are giving me a fair shake or not, most likely.

I sure as hell wouldn't ever be dumb enough to admit to it in an interview though lol

This illustrates the unfairness of the treatment with Butch. Thanks. :hi:

19-25 is a joke. TN would beat all of those teams. Whatever...tired of stupid rankings and all of the politics in sports. LSU ranked at 14 is a joke, too.

Michigan lost something like 19 starters and they are in the top 15. I would say they have more uncertainty than anyone.

Very subjective question here, but of the guys we've signed here, rank the top 5 in your opinion, based on who you think will have the biggest impact on this team during their UT playing careers.

This could be by any metric you choose... playing time, big time plays, etc.

1. Cade Mays. Seems like an obvious #1. Likely 3-4 year starter and the kid looks like a day one impact player and likely NFL draft pick.

2. Lyn-J Dixon. I see many 50+ yard touchdown runs in his future. I also think he'll be a threat receiving out of the backfield.

3. Michael Penix Jr. Kind of going out on a limb here, as Martinez seems to be the more marque QB in this class. But this kid is still learning the position and his growth from his sophmore to junior year was impressive, and recent video of him at camps, he looks like a natural. This, by no means, is a slight on Martinez. I kind of just think when Dormandy and JG leave, it might be Penix taking the reigns if his arc continues up.

4. Brant Lawless. His size and athleticism can't be coached. I think as a NT he's being misused in high school and if you put him at the 3 along the line, he'll be a disruptive monster.

5. Tanner Ingle. If this kid was two inches taller, he'd be a more highly sought after recruit. He's a missle in the secondary and the honey badger comparisons have been out there. I think he can live up to them.


Right or wrong, I'm rooting for all of the kids that want to be a part of what we're building here.

That OL pushed the DL backwards 5-6 yards off the LOS each play. It was amazing. Complete domination and they would not be denied. Henry looked like a bowling ball rolling downhill. There was zero doubt we were going to score.

Jr was like 2-3 weeks old. My wife was so pissed at how loud I was during that drive.

Me screaming, dog barking, baby crying, wife yelling.. GLORIOUS

I was sitting on the bed in my bedroom with my head down but still had the game on when the fumble occurred. I went bananas, but I also remember thinking we just needed one first down to get into field goal range. With each of the four running plays, my yelling was louder and louder. I will never forget. So freakin' good!!

lol "not as I do?" Do you even understand the meaning of that phrase? For it to even apply the way you're trying to use it, I'd have had to either actually kept a pocket list at some point in my life AND told the media about it AND hypocritically criticized Butch for talking about it to the media. All I did was say keeping a list is fine, but dude keep it to yourself.


But, as it's stands, I've never done any of that anyway, so using it here is just...um...idk, meaningless (at best). But if we're just throwing random phrases out there as an attempt at wit, I'll join in:

lmao. oh Darth. of course you haven't done it but I asked you what you would do in a similar situation and you admitted you'd do the same thing. I didn't think you'd be dense enough to admit it. But you did.

You have criticized Butchs skin using a similar action that YOU WOULD ALSO DO if in that situation.

Here's a look at the question I gave you and what you did with it in gif form:

Lying on the floor after I jumped the coffee table! It was the most unbelievable thing I've seen from UT.

Music City Miracle and DNB rank as the best two finishes I can remember.

I don't know if anything will ever top Music City Miracle for me but being in Athens for the DobbNailBoot was incredible.
