I remember a few message board members who gave me a hard time back in 1997 because they didn't think that would be around long because so many sites were here one day and gone the next. On October 15th the site will be 26 years old!

Not gonna bash UT. They are what they are at this point. However, I will say that teams need to start looking to sign football players, not just guys who look good or have great 40 times, but football PLAYERS. Those of you who really know the game know what I am talking about.

The real key to successfully playing an entire football season this fall is not how far apart you can keep teammates or opponents. It is how well these players distance themselves when they are on their own, away from the field, when self-discipline will really matter.

Schiano fiasco could be a recruiting blessing. Now maybe TN will have to recruit TN athletes who are football players who love the Vols versus "great athletes" from other states, athletes that may or may not be football players and may never bleed orange.
