Johnson City has a great music scene. East Tennessee State has churned out a number of top bluegrass musicians and Kenny Chesney out of its Bluegrass, Old Time and Country Music program Check out rising alt country group The Twang Bangers' on iTunes and Spotify (Midnight Train, Back Home (Tennessee)...
Been to them all, except Mizzou. Loudest and rowdiest: LSU Hottest Girls: Toss between ALA, OM and USC (The three times I've been in Columbia the Cockabooses with the Lowcountry's finest are no joke... Tuscaloosa is crawling with hot, easy tail... The Grove is the best tailgating experience in...

He was with Mike Gundy and Bob Stoops earlier this week... He is trying to figure out this new style of NFL speed defense if I had a guess...
Hart was being politically correct IMO. He offered the raise and extension likely knowing Cuonzo wanted out and gave him time to weigh his options, etc. He did nothing but praise Martin and came out of presser looking like a peach. He did acknowledge the "passionate fan base" and was about all he...
No, majority of fans and donors wanted him gone. But UT did give him an opportunity to stay. This was on Zo. That being said, Tennessee will end up with a better coach IMO and someone who is a better "fit" Dave Hart did emphasize finding a "fit"...
I just wanted to clarify statements from all that he was forced out, pushed out, etc. Quite false. I am now just leaving the presser myself....
Martin wanted to weigh his options, decisions...all signs were pointed towards him staying, but everyone in Knoxville was surprised with today's announcement. Martin also did not meet with his players at Tennessee unlike, gasp, Lane Kiffin, who did meet with players, media prior to exit....
UT AD Dave Hart confirmed during presser that offer was made for additional two years at a $500,000 raise which would have placed him around $1.82 million annually and among top 30 paid coaches in country....
Wrong, Dave Hart said they offered two years and $500,000 raise in press conference just now. It was on the table and Cuonzo wanted to weigh his options....

A little early, but I've known Tyler since he was young. He knew more about the game when he was 14 than I knew as a senior in college and I've followed the game most of my life. I feel he will prove the doubters wrong. Tech is a great place to cut his teeth as a head coach and then make a move t...

True story. Guy hits a girl twice, then the UT football players beat his arse... And get everyone else in the house to talk with police, then of course KPD show their arse and try to make a statement.
