1. Would you cover either the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia or the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio if given the opportunity?
2. With players reporting this week, are you basically locked out of any vacation time until after NSD?
3. Would you like to have an office or workroom in the new FTC?
4. Will Dooley's hair a) fall out, b) turn gray, or c) remain unchanged this season?

National Signing Day doesn't affect Wes too much because it's also in the middle of basketball season. With football and basketball seasons back-to-back, followed by spring football, he probably won't get much time off — at least in terms of an actual vacation — until sometime next spring. But he might be able to get away during UT's bye week this season. That's usually his best bet to squeeze in a vacation once preseason camp starts.

If you're too young to answer, you may opt out. Van Halen with David Lee Roth or Van Halen with Sammy Hagar?

Are you writing about CBs or RBs tonight?
I'm guessing kickers are last...

I'll read whatever you respond to up till about 2. Tntoak will surely be up because even Jed Clampett didn't go to bed till the sun went down. But you pick Wes. The thoughts and wisdom of Wes Rucker or something else.

To the best of your ability describe the relationship Fulmer now has with UT/UTAD if any?

We've all heard the rumors about Tyler being kind of a jerk. Compare his relationship with coaches and teammates to recent UT qbs (Ainge, Clawson, etc)

I spent the past hour fixing the site's basketball roster. Some tedious housekeeping needing to be done. I didn't think it would take me that long to do, but it did.
Gotta go to bed at least for a few hours. I'll get to these when I get up.
