Since the sun hasn't hit that side of the house yet, let's get the party started. For all the newcomers, there has to be at least 100 questions for Wes to participate...
Wes...Any chance Stokes goes pro? He's starting to turn things around...
Would TN have to win the conference tourney to get into the big dance?

Wes - what happened to D'Montre Edwards? He hasn't sniffed the court since December, is he just not playing well or what?

Wes do u think Alden hill will b a good rb for us. Anytime u see film on him he looks great! Big frame quick feet, he reminds me of a small Eddie George, looks wise. I just hope he gets a shot to show what he can do . I think he would be a great bruiser back with some good moves to.matter of fact I just watched his highlights and he was a beast! Ran the pistol offense to. Seems like he could make a push for playin time. What u think?

Did you ever pick up that all-natural bacon I mentioned last week?
The men's team has had two last minute wins in back to back games - In your opinion, is that a momentum builder, or is there still some cause for concern?
Have you heard any rumblings from other SEC programs expressing concern about recruiting versus Coach Jones and the new staff?

You guys, particularly newcomers, should remember that Wes will reroute most recruiting questions to Ryan. You'd probably get quicker answers addressing them to him.

I can't say for sure that Stokes returns, but he continues to be told that he should.
Probably. Even going 12-6 in the SEC might make it tough, and 11-7 definitely would.

Jason Respert came a long way during his career.
