OK, nerds.
Fire when ready...
But be warned: If you talk trash about my fantasy team, I will punch Ryno in the face. And I will not apologize for it.

I notice that you catch a lot of flak on Twitter from idiot posters. Has any one from this site ever said something negative to you on Twitter? Do you have any way of knowing whether that person on Twitter subscribes to GoVols247?

Also, how much would you love Chris Carpenter if he was a Chicago Cub, on a scale of 1-10?

Would you give Cuonzo a raise if he lands Nichols and Hubbs or wait until after the season and a tourney appearance?

What do you suspect is the top reason behind 'Murica's waistband issue you mentioned earlier on Twitter?

1. Who were the worst refs: NFL Replacements or the crew that called the infield-fly rule?
2. If you cave in and get a truck, what kind would you be likely to get?
3. Does Dooley put his own name on the injury report this week?
4. If Tennessee ever returned to the Great Alaska Shootout, would you fly up to cover the team?

It was the correct call, but the timing did suck

Great question! Inquiring minds want to know. Patiently waiting . . . .

Maybe ... 150-170. Maybe something like that.

Good question.
I don't know everyone's Twitter handle. Many are the same or similar as their govols247 username, or they use the same bio picture, so I'll recognize them.
But a lot of people send me really nasty messages on Twitter — some that even I don't have the stomach to RT — so I guess it's definitely possible.
If I had to guess, I'm sure a few govols247 subscribers have sent me nasty tweets, but I'd be surprised if any of our actual posters did. We have a lot more members than posters. More people subscribe than y'all probably think, because a lot of people just don't post.
