If the Vols establish a pass rush next season, I think a 'JoePa - Lermo' chant could catch on...

That would work if his name wasn't John.

After meeting our new DL guru, I wonder what some of our D Linemen's first impressions were? I think he will be rock solid and an improvement from the last two(although Lance was solid as well),

Hey, just sayin' ... can't have a chant that starts with "JoePa" for a guy whose name is "John," can you?

Well, we know from that story that he's smarter than Lou Holtz, but anybody who watches ESPN can't be too impressed with that.
"Mark, Notre Dame will win by two touchdowns."

so true! I can always count on Lou Holz to pick South Carolina and Notre Dame. They could be playing the national champion and he will always pick them.

I've mentioned this a few times before, but my old friend Dan Fleser and I have never seen Lou Holtz and Granny Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies in the same place.
Coincidence? I think not.

Granny is dead, so that might have something to do with it...

I believe our front seven (in our base 3-4/multiple) will be stout come the fall. We even have decent depth at most key positions and plenty of tweeners. Our D-Fense will catch alot of teams off guard and so will our offense. Bray, Cordarrelle, Da'Rick, Hunter, Rivera, Marlin, Q. Watson, Bowles, Clear, Croom, Alton and Devante. Alot of weapons, a great Defense and 18 returning starters. Going to be an interesting season. 2012(9-3 or better) season record.
