A Name? How about a Coach?
Through the past few weeks, I have kept relatively quiet about the defensive coordinator search for The University of Tennessee football program. I said relatively quiet, I have made a call here and there, but the filter doesn’t work sometimes. I have laughed at the different “sources” that different media people in this [...]
Time For Dooley to “Man Up”
Derek Dooley came to the Volunteers a couple of years ago around this time and brought with him great hope of restoring the storied Tennessee football program. Within hours, many Vol fans like myself went from “oh no” to “I like this guy.” In his opening press conference, Derek Dooley spoke of traditions, [...]

“The Game”
When writers, sports columnists, prognosticators, etc. talk about “The Game”; it is usually about either The Super Bowl, BCS Title game, or something similar. However if you really think about “The Game”, it will be played today. I am talking about the 112th edition of the Army-Navy game.
To many of us, including me, [...]
The Definition of “The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award”
After listening to many of the “talking heads” on TV this week, I thought I would do some investigating on just exactly what this outstanding award really means. I find it comical that some of “the experts” gave various reasons why they voted the way they did, so I felt it important that some [...]
Hey Coach Dooley…Look in the Mirror
For those of you that know me, I think you would agree that I am not one to hold back on what I am really thinking. Sometimes the filter from the brain to the mouth, gets a little too greased up and things flow freely. In writing this, I truly believe this is [...]

Houston is starting to feel [...]
