1) What do you see as the ceiling for UT's bball team this year? SEC finish and round knocked out of NCAA tourny?
2) What player will be the most improved in bball this season?
3) On a scale of "1 to the Cardinals winning back-to-back World Series championships" how pissed will you be if you have to cover another coaching search when this football season is over?

That's a great question. Where the heck is shoeless? Did I miss something, too? I work a lot and forget things, so this could have been explained to me and I forgot.

He got promoted at work a while back and hasn't posted as much. He's still around, but not nearly as much as he use to be.

Thanks OA, those Stanford grads seem to always be getting promoted...

Great for him! Maybe he can now afford shoes!

Tennessee sports overall is 2-6 when I am in attendance, covering three sports.

They're 8-0 in three sports when I attend - should UT pay to move me back home as good luck?
;)

I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but I've missed it if so:
Wes, how in the world do you deal with some of these jokers on Twitter? Is your block list extensive? I mean, I saw some guy upset because you didn't respond to a tweet right away. Were you that popular in high school?

Wes, I know I'm a few minutes late posting on here, but I work nights at a restaurant, so forgive me here.
3 questions:
1. What's your policy on tipping out a server when you eat out with The Redhead? Or anyone, for that matter.
2. What sense do you get of the team's mood this week? Is it more fierce determination or disappointment?
3. From talking to the defense coaches, do you think it'll be too long before Bonner or Gray play atleast some on defense? And just in general, should our defense struggles be contributed more toward Randolph and Maggitt injuries or just typical 3-4 issues?
