The CheckerBoard

Good mornin'!

1. I knew you'd remember after you said you were setting an alarm. Now that I'm 42, I have to set an alarm to take the trash to the road every week.

2. Looking back on it, and hearing the TFP recruiting article along with Ramondo North's statement from Ryan's article yesterday, I'll go with the Dooley reign.

3. I'm probably not a very good judge, but; on a scale of 1-10, I was a 10 in excitement at the start of last season, and I was full-Gruden when the coaching search drug on and on..., and on. Now, it's turned up to 11 Full Butch! I think the team takes the attitude from it's leaders, and these guys seem extremely excited and are working their collective Azzanni's off.

4. Spring plans are very fluid right now, and it's sort of a bitter-sweet deal working for me. I'd love to see the O-W game, but depends on the schedule as we get closer.

5. I wouldn't worry about missing Tom Brady play for another trophy...

Good Morning AWBO. First off, thank you for your service and IIRC, your wife's also.
1. Will you retire from the military?
2. Any funny military anecdote you'd care to share?
3. What type of vehicles do you drive(personal)?
4. Have you ever embarrassed your wife or family in public over a Vols game?
5. Is there any other coaching staff outworking our Blue Collar Recruiting Tour?
6. Percentage wise, how much of your clothing is Orange?
7. I lied because I said that I wouldn't ask another poster this, but have you ever watched Vegas?

Where were you when sugar hill gang first became big?

Brats or hotdogs?

Cindy or Janet?

What would you think of Tony Jones coming back to coach here?

Are you a Dooley hairspray fan or of the Butch Jones Butch wax?

Would you drop your subscription if the Cubs won the world series or would you stick around to watch Wes became the worse poster of all time?

Women's Volleyball shorts or tennis skirts?

Player you think makes the biggest jump next year?
Sidelines or end zone seats?

Mornin', ONC. We are glad to serve the greatest nation on earth!
1. Definitely going to stick with this as long as possible. I don't know what I'd do with myself otherwise...
2. Some great memories, and stories for the grandkids. One of the most memorable was flying over New Orleans after Katrina. The helicopter traffic would've rival'd DC on a Friday afternoon. We flew some supplies to Grand Isle, where all residents had evacuated and only first responders were still around. They were feasting on fresh fried gator tail, and invited us over for lunch. I couldn't understand what the he!! they were saying, but the food was great.
3. Chevy Silverado 2500 diesel, a Harley Sportster, and a Sea Ray Sundancer
4. Not that I know of, but my wife does think I've got a sickness... It's contagious though, cause half her wardrobe is orange.
5. I love your term, "Blue Collar Recruiting Tour"! If there's anybody outworking these guys, I haven't heard of it and I seriously doubt there is.
6. Not counting the uniforms, I'd say it's about 60%
7. I haven't seen it, but I've lived it a couple of times. I'm a sucker for craps...

Who you got in a cage match, Wes or Ryan?

Is your wife like mine and think its odd for an adult to follow recruiting closely?

If your Cuonzo, what do you do to wake Stokes?

1. 4.5 - with our best chances in the final four (Mizzou, UA, Vandy, KY)

2. Top twenty class with Lawson and Bell as signature guys

3. I think if he had won one more game, Vandy, he would've gotten a 4th year. Somethings are just meant to be...

4. December of 2015. Something about year three of coaches is magical

I'd pull for Ryan, but I think Wes would cheat and win.

Yes, my wife definitely thinks it's odd. She follows some pretty odd stuff herself though....

I think Zo is probably doing everything he can think of. The biggest thing I think he could do is sit down and review the game film with him, and encourage him to be more aggressive. I'm sure he's already doing this tough.

Five Guys or Steak n Shake?

Funny world. My aunt was married to Tim's late husband, King, before he passed away several years ago.

Thanks, I never really knew the other two brothers, but that was because I was still young when he passed. I'll give the questions later though. Gotta go to classes. First day of my last semester, maybe ever.

1) how does it feel to actually have your thread on a Wednesday opposed to a Friday?
2) if they had forgotten about you, would you slam your keyboard in rage?
3) if you could parachute out of a plane to land anywhere, where would it be?
4) demolition derby or pig wrestling?
5) is it considered cheating to step in a ring with a six foot blonde and let her pin you?
6) NWO or degeneration X
7) is the illuminati still planning to take over the world?
8) have you given anyone the finger in a moment of road rage?

HA! I thought this thread might roll to page two...

1. , I don't know if I would've answered much if it was a Friday. Especially this Friday, cause I'm heading to Knoxville for an Official Visit!
2. I would've probably forgotten myself, I can't ever remember what day it is - they all run together.
3. 50 yard line at Neyland with the game ball for the Bama game in a leather football helmet and a cape
4. the demolition derby looks like more fun to me. speaking of pigs though, my wife is trying to sell me on a tea-cup pig
5. It's either cheatin' or tryin'...., or maybe both.
6. I'm going with D-Generation X since all the AU posters on tBB use the NWO tag
7. It's a race between the illuminati and the Red Elephant Club right now, but neither has a Navy to control the shipping channels.
8. Never used the finger, but have used the TN bump law..., and I always mounted my trailer hitch ball when driving in DC. I took out two radiators in my four years there, by getting rear-ended... Rubbin' is Racin'!!!
