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

That's a leading question.
I object, Your Honor.

Overruled. You're allowed to lead during cross-examination. Just answer the question.

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

I'd wait until he makes the NCAA tournament — but I think he'll do that this season.

Did you know the Cards just spanked the Nationals and now lead the series 2-1?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Go Cubs. Go America.

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

In some order: Processed food, high-fructose corn syrup, irresponsible parenting, awesome video games.
Also ... the St. Louis Cardinals, obviously.

Get out of my thread.
This isn't "Wednesdays With Silly Morons."

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?

1. NFL replacement crews.
2. I won't get a truck. They're not as eco-friendly as my hippie self would like. To each their own, but that's my preference until we find a new form of fuel or can make our own. A hybrid SUV is as far as I could go. But I freakin' love trucks. Ugh.
3. No. He said he'd be fine.
4. I would beg and plead with the Kevinator to let me go.

How many days until the Cubs next game? Will next year finally be "the year"?

A lot. And no.
Long rebuilding project coming. Won't be competitive until 2014 at the earliest, IMO. And maybe 2015. But the Cubs needed to be blown up and rebuilt, and I'm OK with it. Greater good.

How come you didn't post in this thread ---->
http://tennessee.247sports.com/Board/114/Wes-Fantasy-Football-League-the-running-thread-12340620
after you took that brutal beating this week.

Because Shannon and Kevin don't want me to cuss on the board.

If / when Dooley starts winning enough to get most fans off his back, would he start "enjoying" his media time more than he currently does IYO...or would his "enjoyment of media time" be the same or worse?
Is the media rivalry between radio stations and the other types of information outlets, as real as it seems to be?

I drive a Ford Excursion which is basically a F-250 with an enclosed bed. When we carpool to the away Crest High football games, there are usually 6-8 people riding in it. It would take 2-4 "eco-friendly cars" to carry that many. So in reality, driving my Excursion almost makes me hippie-like. Agree or disagree? And if the Redhead wants a truck, save yourself the heartache and buy one, preferably with an a/c that works.

I saw in another thread you like Bit-o-honey? Do you like Chick-o-Sticks?

While watching the Oregon game Saturday, the announcer said that OU's kicker had never missed a PAT. Which Vol kicker had the best PAT record? The worst? Are we watching history in the making?

John Becksvoort was 100% on PAT's 161-161 NCAA record

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.

In all honesty, I didn't know what to think of Wes before I joined here. Now he's one of the reasons I love this site, and will always be a VIP member.
P.S. I also enjoy Ryno and Kev. Don't wanna leave em out.
