Let’s change up this week’s Five For Friday just a bit and discuss what everyone wants to discuss: What’s the deal with Tyler Bray's thumb? And his current his role for UT?

I said when it happened this could benefit both Bray and UT in the long term. Here's hoping I was right.

Just as Bray was born to be a quarterback. Wes Rucker was born to be a writer and more specifically a sports writer. Very nice article. The future success of our football team is riding on Bray's arm so like Bigorange, I hope his return shows the benefit of time spent studying and better understanding the game

Great article Wes. Thanks. Here's hoping Bray becomes the face of UT football and gives some much needed confidence to all of the Vols. A whole team will respond when they know their ace on the mound. Everybody just plays better. That's why it's so important to be consistent when the ball's in your hand so the team will keep believing that they will win when you're on the hill. Best of luck to Bray and all the Vols! GO VOLS!

Great insight, Wes. A good read on the maturation of a student and an athlete on the cusp of moving on to the next level in life. Maybe not in the same legendary vein of Joe Montana.......but Tyler comes back tomorrow and leads the Vols to victory and, after a win over UK, on to a bowl. Now where's a dang emoticon when I need one!!!! GO VOLS

This is a prime example of why I subscribe. Great stuff, not only on target, but bull's eye.
I have other comment. Tyler need not look far for the proper role model on how to conduct himself. The Indianapolis sideline.
