@OldPlayer
I remember what Nick saidwhen he came to bama....we will honor all offers...but you shop, we shop...or something like that...

So 50+ in Vileville are they trying to say this kid was still looking so they pulled his offer? Trying to slant it to make themselves look better?

Men- five games back from first place with eight games to play in the regular season (good for sixth place in the SEC standings) and they want to talk about basketball?

lol.....better of evils.... i guess....

most ( i know or even associate with) are truely embarrassed by going-ons in football.... ( I empathize...remembering Dubose...Albert Means..textbooks...mike Price) .... but i also remember the enjoyment they were getting from those days

Tough for a kid to be frozen out just before a deadline. By this account, he wasn't treated well, but I guess he should've signed earlier when he could.

Probably better being at Memphis anyway....

When you have a baseline of football, anything is better, including bowling.

I think it was Butches last year or may next to last the wife and I were in Gatlinburg in the early spring time and I walked into one of the shops with my Bama hat on. Of course the store owner was a Vile fan and wanted to go ahead and start talking crap about what they were going to do to Bama and in the SEC in the fall. I just laughed and said we will see on the field. That bunch is so out of touch. Probably the best thing they can do is go into hiding when it comes to football.

Makes you wonder if the Oxford kid was getting the McDonald's sacks.

None of my family in East tn will utter a peep about football unless I bring it up and then they try and skate away. My brother who I love dearly except for his allegiance is actually kind of pitiful. . I don’t let it stop me from asking pointed questions and making him discuss it though

I have a sister in law that is a vile fan and my wife has a ton of family around the Morristown area. Yeah they are all pretty silent/passive these days. Has not always been the case thus my full disdain for the Viles. I was one that always said win on the field and let the enjoyment of the win be enough but most think they have to get into the smack talk like they did something.

Clemson countered the UT interest with a raise for Elliot.

"I'd rather remain as an offensive coordinator than take the head job at UT?" Doesn't sound right, does it?

I'm thinking TE is eyeing the end of the '21 season and the rumored opening happening next season.

$300,000 raise; now at two million per year.

Clemson now has two of the three highest paid assistants in college football.

When I lived in East TN, we used to spend time in Jefferson City and Morristown. We used to eat at the Little Dutch.

You never told me that. Where?

 

[It Takes Eleven]

You never told me that. Where?

Knoxville, for two football seasons, thankfully both Bama wins. I covered all of East TN, from Byrdstown to Ducktown to Mountain City to Dunlap and all parts in between.

Then you know the beauty of east TN......

Who is the third now? Last year Sark was one over two million and Steele was another. Four last season?

Yes, it's beautiful country with, on the whole, good people. I hit most every small town, including the four I mentioned, Jefferson City, Morristown, Sneedville, Niota, Athens, Cookeville, Crossville, Maynardville, Sevierville, Gatlinburg, Elizabethton, Newport, Benton, Oak Ridge, Oneida along with the cities of East TN Chattanooga, Knoxville and Tri-cities. Probably missing a few.

When I was in Ducktown there were still major gashes in the land from the smelting operation. They had just closed the last mine. It was in October '87. I remember because we stayed in some condos over in Murphy, NC, and the first day I was there was the market crash.

Is that what stinks so bad around 75 where it crosses the Hiwassee River?

There were five last season. Sark and Steele were getting the most at 2.5 million, Pelini (LSU) was getting a little over 2.25, and then it was Elko (A&M) and Venables (Clemson.)

As of now it's three as far as I know with Elliot, Venables, and Elko.
