The CheckerBoard

I'm a huge arsenal fan and its been a painful year. So, do you:

1. Think they can make a run at 4th place?

2. Does Arsene survive for another year?

Meh

Are we still pursuing Derrick Green hard? Is he still heavily considering UT or has that ship sailed?

1. Should the Cubs go ahead and forefeit the season?
2. What about Arsenal?
3. Any chance of Hinshaw being re-hired?

TN wearing Adidas gets mentioned a lot as a negative in recruiting. Any idea when that contract is up and if Dave Hart would switch back to Nike?

1. Which coach from Dooley's staff will you miss covering the most?

2. Besides Pittman, is there another position coach whose players hated to see let go?

3. Funniest Dooley memory?

4. Returning players poised to take on a leadership role for next season?

5. 2 or 3 underclassman who should have fans excited about future?

6. Don't know much about Peterman - how talented is he?

7. Would you rather let Ryan post in your thread or continue to answer questions about Tee Martin?

8. Have you asked Coach Jones his view on black jerseys?

Good question.

Wish I had a good answer for you.

I hope he can tell him by then.

I want a day off when the coaching staff is finalized.

Wes:

#1 With UT's new coaching staff we see an increased social media presence. How is this controlled by the NCAA? Do they consider contact via twitter or facebook to be like a text or a phonecall, or is it unregulated? For example if a recruit tweets at them, can they have a whole twitter conversation, or only if it initiates a phonecall, or what?

#2 Cuonzo: what is the problem? I love the dude as a coach but these rock fights are painful.

#3 Marquez/Pacquiao: Has there ever been a more effective advertisement for PEDs that you can remember?

1. Not 1-on-1, just in a group.

2. Yes. Very genuine. It's not been a secret that he's coveted this job for a while, and he was thrilled to get it.

3. Yes. Seems like a hard worker to me. I don't get the prima donna vibe from him. But ... it's early. We'll see. I've been surprised enough in this business that nothing really surprises me any more.
