As the warden is "Cool Hand Luke" says, I am starting now on

  • "getting my mind right"! If we lose Santos to Texas, I will be somewhat disappointed, but I will not let my disappointment dilute the enthusiasm for the young and talented athletes that do sign to play for the Big Orange. We may lose a couple of others or miss some that we are targeting, but I am "gonna get my mind right" and focus on the EE's that are already in Big Orange Country and the commits like O'Brien, Croom, Peters, Bourque and the others that are not only totally committed to the program, but have reportedly been recruiting other targets to the Big Orange cause.

    I am getting my mind right!

  • Considering the noise around the program this offseason, it is a miracle that we are poised to finish as well as we seem to be.

    This is a real credit to Dooley and his staff.

  • Not to mention that for the first time in probably 6 years we have some depth!

    Posts like this are one of the big reasons I'm going to keep my premium membership after the 30 days expires. I am loving how respectful and classy my fellow Vols fans can be - this is a breath of fresh air after other message board experiences!

    Thanks, PS. We've heard that from almost everyone, and it's great to hear!

    We already have some great content planned for post NSD, and then one of the most important/interesting spring practices at UT in some time will start. We'll have 2013 recruiting news, Big Orange Caravan stops, hoops, hoops recruiting, baseball and more.

    All the folks who have been here since day one will tell you we bring it every day!

    Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for signing up!

    You, Ryan and Wes are the reason that 247 is the best source for Big Orange info. I have been trolling various boards for several years and had a couple of memberships on occasion, but I have never had mods interact as much as you guys do. Add in some great posters and 247 is without peer!
