The CheckerBoard

I like Wiedmer and what he speculates is possible but it is just like all the other speculation...enough truth to be interesting.

This is NAILS, IMHO.

I think attendance is as important as wins for CDD and the associated decision....

People that aren't going to the game are apathetic and those of us who are going suffer from "battered fan syndrome". No matter how many times our abusive program hurts us, we keep going back.

There is a 'battered fan shelter' close to the stadium. It's called Calhoun's Bar.

If Hart is not going to voice his support for Dooley, he may as well let him go. Lack of that vote of confidence offers little help to the current coaching staff on the recruiting trail. I am not suggesting that Dooley has earned any such support, but the dark cloud of uncertainty hanging over Knoxville effectively ties the hands of the staff.
A recruit should commit to the university and not the coach, but that recruit has be be able to determine if their skillset is a good fit for the program.

Fanbase hasn't quit, IMHO. Our attendance relative to others is still strong. However, fan base must aw a reason for hope. Tennessee's record in SEC shows little reason to hope that this staff can lead the recovery. We are watching the most talented offensive team in quite sometime not maximize its potential due to horrid defense.

As a fan and someone who goes to 2-3 games a year I think us as fans should know what the Hell is going on. If Hart is behind Dooley let's get behind Hart if he's not tell us. You won't accomplish anything by not informing. If your waiting to see if we win the next four games, Hell we should and should have won a couple at least one of the others. He doesn't know what the Hell to do just like everyone else. Damned if you do Damned if you don't.

+1 for the most uses of the word hell in a single post.
