OK, so the new What We've Heard is coming in just a few minutes, but I'm just being honest here: We're changing the way we post it on here, and the first time I try anything new is bound to be a complete disaster. The first time I tried to water ski is something my family will never, ever forget. So hang with me here for a minute, and I will fix any bugs that show up.

Much better than the Young and the Restless. Especially since we don't sleep with each other

Here from the Ducks - nothing compares to what we went through with Kelly last Jan, and it just won't go away. I heard Arkansas is getting Franklin from Vandy - it is on their boards,,

Are you / duck fanbase worried about the latest smoke re Kelly to the NFL?
Here at UT we haven't really had to worry about having our football coach leave the program for another job: Phillip wasn't going anywhere, lane didn't give us the time to worry, and many UT fans were hoping Dooley would leave.
Personally it would drive me crazy!

Caught us completely off guard last year. But we hear it every day in all the media. Some think Kelly won't go pro because he likes making a difference in peoples lives (re GameDay interview). Some figure he will stay until Mariota graduates. The rest of us have accepted the fact he is leaving but have complete confidence a plan is in place. The plan most likely involves Helfrich (OC) stepping up. That is how Belloti followed Brooks and Chip followed Belloti. the only thing that worries the Ducks is hiring a new coach that will change everything and not fit the players we have recruited.

Me, too. My first time skiing? Got the ol' Fort Loudon Lake enema. The people who claim it's easier to learn on two skis than one don't speak for everyone. Maybe it's because I learned to skateboard first, but I can ski OK on one ski, but two? I can't stand up w/o falling forward on my face.
Sorry for going totally OT, but Wes brought back some old emotional scars.

I really know nothing about the situation, but I would think the OC would step right in and keep it going there...
