It seems like the Redhead has a wicked sense of humor. Regarding the alleged Raccoon situation. Are you sure the Redhead isn't sneaking out into the yard at night and strewing a little garbage around just to mess with you?

What was Chris Treece' jersey number at Oakland HS in 1985? I know you like to taunt your fellow radio personalities with pancake-footage and I just might be able to help...

On a scale of 1 (would rather deal with the Taliban or root for the Cardinals) to 10 (naming my kid and dog after him), how much do you like James Franklin (the Vandy coach, not the Mizzou QB)?

What percentage of a college football coach's success is based on recruiting? actual coaching?
i think about 80/20.

Any backstory to the basketball schedule changes? An article I read on a Kentucky site suggested UT had made noise about losing the UK game, leading to the change- know anything about that? IYO is this a good development for UT or just building two losses into the schedule every year?

Disagree. I thinking coaching is huge in college.

Can't win consistently in a big time conference without talent. I think the coaching aspect in college is way overrated.

Oh, you know, writing stories, fixing web site rosters and timelines, speaking with sources, eating food from time to time.
I was up past 5 a.m. working on a roster issue on the site that was driving me crazy, and that's the second night in a row I've hardly slept, so I'm kind of a zombie today.
I'm gonna get to all these, like always. Just need some time today.

I think he had the best QB in college football since Peyton and he didn't stay around long enough to win consistently. If he had stayed, he was going to bring in the talent with the best of them.

But the positive impact of his coaching ability was obvious right?

Okay, besides all that what is taking you so long? Just remember, you can sleep and rest in the middle of December!
