The CheckerBoard

Heard Pat speak at the Alumni awards dinner on Friday...she doesn't seem to be enjoying the lights right now and is only delivering very short speeches....I could see it being her but I think she would rather have some time out of the lights right now...Like Ryan was hinting at I'm not sure she is quite up to it anymore...not trying to be mean or make anyone mad, thats just what it is starting to look like to me

My votes.
Manning
Fulmer
Majors. In this order. It needs to be a person with history with the football program. But it will probably be someone with no significant history with our football program at all.

I totally agree. Absolutely need someone associated with UT football.

Ron Zook was a GA at Tennessee. haha

If Peyton does it, you won't be able to hear his picks due to the noise(which would be awesome)

You have to think Pat is at the top of the list. IMO, I would love to see Condredge Holloway be the picker. If not #7, then definitely Peyton. I believe Denver plays Carolina next Sunday, so it's possible.

Cuonzo would be great for basketball recruiting.

I think Vince would be good but I suspect they will go for Chesney, Peyton, or maybe even Jimmy Haslam. He has been in the news a lot lately so someone to think about.

My vote would be Al Wilson for obvious reasons but the logical choice I think would be Fulmer in fact I would like to see him do it.

Mama Dooley gets my vote if Wes Rucker can't do it

That's actually a pretty good thought. I definitely could see them using Johnny Knoxville.

If Gameday wants things to be awkward, it'll be Fulmer. If they want to piss off the UT administration, it'll be Pearl. If they want the fans to go nuts & make the atmosphere crazier than it already will be, Manning will be picking. IMO, they're gonna go for chalk and ask Pat Summitt to be the guest picker as she's pretty much a rock star from a national perspective. Personally, I'd love to see John Ward be the guest picker.
