The CheckerBoard

What channel, I thought the Dooley show was the only thing on in the 9 o' clock hour?

Edit: You're talking about radio.

Hyams said that from what he is hearing, Cheek feels that if the win out they should keep Dooley because it would cost too much to fire him. OTOH, he believes he will be let go if we lose one more game. That whole thing makes no sense to me because it won't cost any more to fire him if we end up 7-5 instead of 6-6.

After seeing attendance yesterday, especially after half-time, and seeing how the only donor tent set-up north of Humanities was a Troy tent, I think Cheek better reassess where the financial bleeding would come from.

Thanks jersey I tuned in late to the show and didn't hear the statement but if that's the case then this could get interesting to say the least

I know that Cheek has told people privately that the decision on Dooley is Dave Hart's and he would support whatever decision he makes.

don't bet on it Grog. If only 500 people show up for Kentucky, Ryan will annouce the crowd at "just under 70,000"

Wow! That's a pretty bold personal attack if I've ever seen one...

Not lying, just a victim of the necessary hyperbole in the Knox county media to not mention the emperor is unclothed. UT has the actual turnstile count from the games. Any chance they release it? Thought so. A brief glance at the major donor parking lot by the stadium yesterday was half empty with not a single tailgate party underway on Homecoming on a beautiful sunny football Saturday. People are not coming to the games. People are not buying the tickets, people are not talking and promoting UT football now as they were even 5 or 6 years ago.

I would be shocked if Mister Cheek has much say in what happens with the coaching situation at Tennessee. I wouldn't fret about what he is saying. jmo

It's not as if 70,000 is gonna cut it anyway, so why would aybody lie about that? We've got serious problems and the money people are surely aware of it.
