I love this place, Kevin. I gave it a long trial as a monthly subscriber before finally cancelling my Rivals sub and going annual here earlier this week.

You guys are forcing everyone in this market to step up their game and that's the highest compliment I think can pay you and your team.

I'm still on my trial, but once I have a chance to see the content when things aren't hectic I would certainly consider upgrading to annual. I've been VERY pleased so far, and I feel like the coverage of the coaching search that you all have provided is far and away better than any of your competitors. I would definitely say that it's exceeded my expectations.

As an annual subscriber about to renew for my third year, I can't recommend this enough. I know it's crazy around here right now with a few flame posts/trolls from some free trial folks, but, trust me, this place is a community that values dialogue and conversation. No childish stuff. We made it through an entire presidential election without one nasty thread regarding politics or religion!

And, when they aren't trying to run down the coaching search stuff, WRK are usually at our fingertips when we have a question to ask about anything Vol related. I've never paid for another site and couldn't imagine doing so until I tried 247.

When things are settled, I will add that one of my favorite things here is asking Wes about Vol stuff from recent history that no one knew about at the time which the "statute of limitations" has now expired on. He's shared some great stories about BJ Coleman's transfer (apparently BJ had to be physically removed from Lane's office because he was such a jerk to BJ), the Kiffin era, the previous coaching search, the reason Kevin Stallings hates UT so much, the relationship between staff and media, etc. that you don't get to ask in other settings. On top of that, there are times when we ask Wes/Ryan specific questions and they make a point to ask the appropriate people in/after the presser.

If you love the Vols its well worth the $100 a year. Can't imagine how good things would be if there were even more staff covering the beat for 247.

You are scheduled to be charged for your monthly subscription again the afternoon of Dec. 5. If you upgrade to annual, you will be charged immediately.

However, I will extend your new expiration date out for you since you would be paying for a few days of Nov. and part of Dec. twice.

I'll move out your renewal date to take that into account.

Does that make sense?

Yes kevin it does. I did not realize that my Sub date was December 5th. I will not have the ability to do so until the 1st anyway so in that case I will go ahead and re-up for the year on the 4th. In that case I would only be 1 day short. There will not be any need for a comp day. Thanks again Kevin

How much of our annual sub. money are yall kicking in to "lure" Gruden. I will hang up and listen now.

Thank you to K,R, and W for making this the best site for all things Vols. I, too, was a monthly member for a year. I kept it that way thinking there was no way they could keep my interest everyday for 365 days. They did and I upgraded to annual on my 1 yr date last year. After I upgraded, I went through some personal issues that kept me from posting on the board and kinda kept me off it. Well I got a personal message to my email from Kevin making sure everything was ok. He was concerned about me as a person not just getting money. They already had me for the year. I can not express how much that means to me. That is what this site is all about.

Don't be a stranger this time around!! Between you and Shoeless going AWOL, people started throwing out weird conspiracy theories. Or was that related to the coaching search??

Thanks, gr82b. And you finally got your hat!

Hope you are well with the stuff you're going through. Keep your chin up.

Great point!

Remember my motto: Treat yourself in case nobody else does!
