Hey, are they having fun in Knoxville yet?
Jeremy Pruitt
Is growing more aggravated and agitated according to sources around UT’s football program.
Pruitt is blaming Bryce Thompson’s unexpected departure to the NFL on this situation.
Pruitt also believes this is killing him in the transfer market.
Though he’s trying to put a happy face on this Pruitt knows now that …
1) He’s at risk is his job …
2.) He’s potentially at risk of losing his buyout. I’m talking potentially the full 12.7 million dollars here could be at stake.
3.) The ongoing investigation could potentially inhibit Pruitt’s employability in college football.
Pruitt also thinks this probe is hurting his chances of finding coaches. If he makes it out of this he’s going to have four spots to fill on his staff.

“Ty Chandler became the 17th Vol in the NCAA transfer portal. Mind you a program carries 85 scholarship players. 17 of 85 is 14.24 percent. That’s 1 in 6 players … This is farcical. Chandler’s move to the portal comes as zero surprise to us here as we called it. Chandler is a significant loss.”

I remember thinking we were gonna win in 1998, only to have those UT assholes stroll out of Sanford with smug grins on their faces, holding little orange cards with the number 8 on them (as in the number of times they’d beaten us in a row). Suffice to say I’m more than satisfied with how this rivalry has inverted itself since.

We won in ’79. The ’77 game was when Prince Charles showed up and his butt-ass-ugly face permeated down below the rail road tracks, over the top of the scoreboard and onto the field. We got shut out. But Scott Woerner had 1,000 punt return yards that day.
Best Kentucky team ever. And they were on probation.

Yep, remember the game like it was yesterday. Champ had an early INT to keep us in it, otherwise the O was totally dominated 22-3. Honestly the game felt worse than that score.
My friend and roommate left the game in disgust at halftime, and we found him passed out back at our tailgate face first in the dirt with a mostly empty bottle of Beam laying next to him.

The game was MUCH worse than the final score of 22-3. Memory is fuzzy but I seem to remember we didn’t even cross midfield until that FG around halftime. The 95 degree weather didn’t help but the score felt like 65-3

I was a drunk 18 year old, but I remember that on Georgia’s first possession, Quincy Carter fumbled the ball… I think he actually failed to catch a shotgun snap or something… and we either turned it over deep on our own side or went 3 and out. Kinda knew then that we might be in for a long day, but I had no idea how bad it would be.

Doug, I think men who hit women are among the most despicable cowards and losers on the face of the Earth. That said…
The closest I’ve ever come to hitting a woman was leaving that ’98 game when a “woman (?)” who looked like she had been stealing groceries from Lulu waved one of those number 8 cards in my face, then got right up in my face screaming UT’s famed fight song, “Rotten Crotch.” Three words, three simple words: “Back up, bitch.” Thankfully, that was the end of it.
The fire of 1 million suns will never be hot enough for the Viles in my book.

And the thing that makes this even funnier, forgetting for a moment about Pruitt, is how Nine-Fingered Daddy engineered his slow-footed kid, Baby Mays, a way out of Georgia to go play for this back-stabbing AD, idiot redneck Coach, and terrible football program because Matt Luke told them he was gonna move that slow-footed big baby to Guard because he sucked at Left Tackle.
Nine-Fingered Daddy couldn’t stand to lose all that big time Left Tackle money from the NFL, oh no, so he did every low-down dirty trick he could find to get Baby Mays away from the “toxic environment” in Athens, GA back to his home in Hillbillyville where it’s all sunshine and rainbows.
And that what happens? Even Tennessee’s idiot OL coach whom the fans now hate and who was the first rat off this sinking ship could see that Baby Mays was killing his team playing Left Tackle and moved him to, you guessed it, Guard, for the majority of the year.
There literally isn’t enough schadenfreude in the entire world for me in this situation.
