This has been my first season reading the "Better know a Foe" section. I have noticed that every beat writer has sounded more like a coach than a fan during their analysis of the Vols, which I believe to be in large part a result of the potential of this team to actually play good ball. Vandy is going to be a tough opponent but I feel if the Vols can dial in the emotions they might be able to actually win an SEC game. These next couple weeks will be difficult for these kids, but hopefully they can handle the situation and the fans show the team the support they deserve. Go Vols, if Dooley is leaving, lets send him out the right way.

I think Jeff did a really nice job on this. Now, I may have asked bad questions ... but that's not his fault. I was all he had to work with here.

Look for Franklin to be in demand if the Dores win out including their bowl game.
Franklin has done more with less, i.e., facilities, recruiting base, history, higher admission standards. Maybe it helps to not have an AD.

They actually have an AD again.
