Haha, probably. His pops and my pops are good buddies who work together, so I play that angle too. But yeah I annoy the hell out of him. He is good dude though, he will sometimes email me updates w/o having to ask. I use to buy him beer before he hit 21 when I was home for the summer from school. So he owes me. (Don't arrest me GWN). He has dug in really well with some of the GA's as well as Coach Elder. Most of his info comes directly from the GA's, who get it directly from the big boys of the staff. Butch included.
If he says it, it largely was said by the coaching staff.

I don't see us beating UF this year because of our OL and that makes me sad. 
With a good OL, I think we could win 8 games. That's the last piece of the puzzle, IMO.
Just rewatched the USU game and everyone on the line got bullied more than a few times.

One of the dumbest things I've ever seen, from a football standpoint. Setting the team up for failure.

I'll be honest...I've never heard of drug testing via saliva. and I've been tested for the last 15 years between the military and the feds.

Interesting here:
An economic impact analysis done by the UTAD shows that, by comparison between the 2008 and 2010 seasons, attendance at Neyland Stadium dropped by nearly 1,660 per game. Between 2009 and 2011, Neyland saw a drop of just over 4,500 per game. Nevertheless, in 2012, Tennessee finished second in the SEC and sixth in the nation with a total attendance of almost 760,000.
The UTAD has an SEC-low reserve of $2 million. That analysis shows UTAD has an annual economic impact on Knoxville and East Tennessee of roughly $151 million. Late last month, the Knox County Commission formally withdrew its portion of the amusement tax on ticket sales for Tennessee basketball and football home games. The county portion of the 5-percent tax, however, is just 0.5-percent. The City of Knoxville gets the other 4.5-percent.
No other intercollegiate program in the nation has to deal with a tax burden like this one from the City of Knoxville. If completely repealed, the UTAD would have $1.6 million to devote to Neyland Stadium improvements and aid in the additional costs coming to universities for student athletes with the changing in the NCAA governance.

If I'm recalling it correctly, the tax started as a general entertainment tax levied by the city of Knoxville sometime back in the 80s. Then everybody got pissed off because suddenly major concert tours and other events quit coming to town because the taxes were too onerous. So they repealed it for everything EXCEPT UT football and basketball games, which obviously had no choice but to play there. It's both amazing and dumb that the tax is still hanging around, but overall it's a drop in the bucket in the UTAD's budget woes.
