The reason Tennessee felt like home is because it is: wear the orange.

What ever happened to the which doctor. He seems to have disappeared and his posts were very funny and somewhat insightful. Bones never lie.

Hello Coach. Welcome.

I'm not the real Bill Battle, but I did attend UT while he was head coach thus the screen name. But I'm sure he would appreciate the welcome.
