			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />

<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p>
<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>

<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>

<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Nissan President Carlos Ghosn"]<img title="Carlos Ghosn" src="http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/images/ghosn_portrait-1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="144" />[/caption]

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>

<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p>
<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets - $15 or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>

<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>

<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p>
<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Nissan President Carlos Ghosn"]<img title="Carlos Ghosn" src="http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/images/ghosn_portrait-1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="144" />[/caption]

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over $1.1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Nissan President Carlos Ghosn"]<img title="Carlos Ghosn" src="http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/images/ghosn_portrait-1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="144" />[/caption]

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Nissan President Carlos Ghosn"]<img title="Carlos Ghosn" src="http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/images/ghosn_portrait-1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="144" />[/caption]

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[According to Basilio and  GVX, Lane Kiffin <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/feb/11/inky-johnson-named-ut-grad-assistant/" target="_blank">has named former-Vol Inquoris "Inky" Johnson as a graduate assistant</a>.  Johnson was a key member of the Vols' defensive backfield prior to his career ending injury in 2006.  Johnson will be coaching the defensive backs.

It was also announced that Kiffin has named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonidas_I" target="_blank">Leonidas of Sparta</a> as the Vols new Kicking and Hurling of Sharp Objects Coach.<strong>**</strong>

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>(click to enlarge)</em></strong></h5>
As you can see from the press conference, Leonidas is pumped! <strong><em>

<h5 style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>** <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Disclaimer</span>:  As if it were not completely obvious, the discussion of Leonidas of Sparta is a humorous depiction (a/k/a "Fark") and is a complete fabrication of the mind of the author (e.g. it is complete bullshit).  Some parts of this post do not reflect the views of the University of Tennessee.  Furthermore, neither the author of this post nor this blog are in anyway affiliated with the University of Tennessee, and all discussion of adding a "Hurling of Sharp Objects" coach is intended solely as humor.  So please don't have your lawyers send me a bunch of nasty letters...</strong></em></h5>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>

<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p><br />
<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Static/BANNER-VFTH.png" alt="The View From the Hill | Gate 21" /></p>
<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Gate 21 is proud to host this week's Roundtable!</span></h3><br />
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-445" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="big-orange-roundtable" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Other%20Links%20+%20Banners/2009-BORt-Banner-Dark-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="408" height="318" /></p></p>
<p><h2><em><strong><span style="color: #ff9900">It’s Time…</span></strong></em></h2><br />
<p align="justify">This week’s <a title="Big Orange Roundtable on Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/category/big-orange-roundtable/" target="_blank">Big Orange Roundtable</a> <b>Buy epogen without prescription</b>, is hosted by … ummm … oh, yeah, it’s our week.  We here at the Gate are proud to host the 2009 kickoff edition of the Big Orange Roundtable as we all get ready to tee it up and kick it down for the 112th season of Tennessee Volunteers Football.</p><br />
<p align="justify">With that lovely prospect in mind, let’s get down to business:</p></p>
<p><h1 class="subtitle"><strong>Week 8</strong></h1><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">1) (<em>From HSH</em>)  We've talked through the past month or so about just about everything we could talk about regarding this Tennessee team: the quarterbacks, offensive line, freshman, Eric Berry, finding healthy wide receivers, freshman again, etc. So the simple question is this: what do you expect or what specifically are you looking for from the Vols against Western Kentucky this Saturday?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> First things first, Western Kentucky is not going to be anything close to resembling a quality football team.  They were recently a power in 1-AA, but this is their first full year in 1-A, and have the potential to be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in a while (yes, <b>Order cytoxan no prescription</b>, I'm including Wyoming).  They went just 2-10 last year (the wins were Eastern Kentucky and Murray State) and return just 12 starters from that team.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So if Tennessee hangs 60 points on the Hilltoppers, oh, well it was just Western Kentucky, right?  Not exactly.  I want to see Tennessee score lots of points Saturday afternoon.  I expect Lane Kiffin will want to pound the rock with the running backs.  I want to see a confident Jonathan Crompton that doesn't make any mistakes and crisply runs the offense.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Defensively, I want to see which freshmen make an early impact in their first games, and how they handle playing for real.  On both sides, <b>zometa farmacia a buon mercato</b>, I want to see swagger—OK, it's WKU, but we could be playing my high school's team and I would still want to see our players have a wealth of confidence in themselves and their coaches that creates said swagger.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I expect and hope to see a few things.  First, I am not exactly expecting grandeur for this first game of the 2009 season, <b>Maryland MD Md.</b>, but what I am expecting to see is poise and purpose.  I am hoping that this team brings their attitude—one which was sorely missing last season—and refuses to play down to the level of their opponent which they should beat under almost any circumstance.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Let’s be honest, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/WKY" target="_blank">Western Kentucky</a> went 2-10 last season which made even the Vols’ 5-7 campaign seem decent.  Prior to 2008, however, Western Kentucky had a streak of 12 straight winning seasons, and look to be on the upswing.  That said, The Vols have got to play with a little spark and bring their best game to their opponent—regardless of the quality of that opponent.  The Vols have to play their game and not let it be dictated to them by their opponent.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Most of all, <b>generic casodex</b>, I am looking to see a team that is glad to be on the field playing once more.  I hope that we begin to see the development of the new Kiffin system and hopefully get a huge relief when the quarterback play is surprisingly crisp and effective.  This is a confidence game which is only a good thing if you perform in a manner that inspires confidence</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">2) The last time I had to come up with questions for the Roundtable, you may <a title="Big Orange Roundtable Round-up | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/13/big-orange-roundtable-round-up/" target="_blank">remember our visit to the debate over the “<em>Woo!</em>”</a> in Rocky Top.  Along those lines, I want to get the take on a similar topic: pompons, or shakers if you prefer that.</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The basis of this comes from Clay Travis' book, <b>Buy casodex online without prescription</b>, Dixieland Delight, which I read this summer and I suggest you look into as well. First, read what <a title="Shakers or Pompons.  | CBS Sports.com" href="http://www.cbssports.com/spin/story/9673697" target="_blank">Clay says about pompons/shakers</a> (<em>Note that this is straight from the book</em>).</h3><br />
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Once you've done that, you're on the spot: do you make use of said pompons/shakers at Tennessee games?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> As a student, <b>Um capecitabine online</b>, of course, we have the things basically thrown at us because they're in our seats when we get to the game. I was more inclined to use them as a freshman three years ago, but now I don't even think about using them.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Why.  They're annoying and they're for the pretty sorority girls all dressed up, <b>buy epogen without prescription</b>.  <b>Where to buy cheap capecitabine</b>, What's wrong with a fist pump or high-fives with those around you when the Vols make a good play. Not only that, but they occasionally block even my view of the field (I'm not exactly a short guy, either) and I every now and then get hit by the person behind me using theirs.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I know I sound really uptight, but neither of those above things really bother me - they're just reasons I'm anti-shakers. But much like the Rocky Top "Woo!" they aren't going anywhere...</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> As a general rule I am not a shaker guy, <b>ordering zometa no rx</b>, at least not now.  When I was a student, I did on occasion raise a shaker or two into the air in jubilation, but I was never a huge fan of shakers as a means to display support for the team.  I have, however, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, put shakers to good use in other ways.  In 1997, while on a road trip to Florida, I did assemble a wig of nothing but shakers which looked particularly fetching with my blue eyes and was all the rage with the folks in Gainesville—that is until they pounded our faces into the pavement with their Jorts-clad backsides.  Needless to say, I decided the wig was a bad idea.</p><br />
<p align="justify">I have, however, discovered that a properly wielded shaker can make a wonderful implement of self-defense, <b>comprar cytoxan</b>, nee’ “<em>weapon.”</em> First and foremost, a shaker is a wonderfully effective way to bash people over the head who annoy you in the stadium.  Shakers are not terribly menacing, per se, but when slung with force (<em>and especially when wet</em>) they can approximate the feeling one gets when being bashed over the head with a plate of spaghetti (<em>sans the plate</em>).  The beauty of this is that, <b>Evista prescription</b>, having pummeled your foe you can simply play it off as if you were merely overcome by a fit of gleeful spirit at the Vols’ performance on the field, or the First Tennessee ad on the Jumbotron.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The pointy end of a shaker (<em>i.e. “the handle”</em>) can also serve as an effective means of poking people in the ribs.  This works particularly well when you obscure the handle behind your other arm and simply poke the end out into an the ribs of an unsuspecting bystander while standing in a throng of people clamoring to get out of the stadium after the game.  A true raconteur will do this so that, the object of the barb is a particularly burly fellow wearing orange who is … ill tempered with strong drink.  Immediately after doing that, you must turn quickly around and yell loudly at the Florida fan behind you to quit poking you.  Then repeat the jab on the burly orange fellow only harder, and watch the fur fly (<em>preferably from a distance, <b>ostaa halvalla zometa</b>, but be sure and hang around to give a statement to the police</em>).</p><br />
<p align="justify">Finally, shakers can actually be used to disperse a crowd quite quickly, especially if you have numerous shakers.  Simply find a cigarette lighter, and imagine yourself as one of the great medieval archers lighting your arrow and hurl the flaming shakers into the crowd.  This won’t win you many friends and though it might get you arrested, <b>Buy casodex</b>, it is highly <a name="notice-return"></a>entertaining…<a href="#footer-notice"><strong>**</strong></a></p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>3) Looking back over the last year and a half, it has been an absolute roller coaster ride for the Vols and their fans.  A lot of excitement has been building to this very moment as Tennessee gets set to take the field for the 2009 season.  How do you feel with kickoff only days away?  Are you excited?  Ready to to start kickin' ass and taking names?  Unsure?  Worried?  Shaking like a little girl?  Incapable of speaking coherently due to complete and utter hysterical fear?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> I would call myself quietly confident.  I know Tennessee's going to come out and pound Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon and I'm looking more towards watching to see how all the new parts look in a game than anything else.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Now when those powder-blue-and-gold folks come calling next week, then it's showtime.  Not only is UCLA quite possibly the game that determines the first half of our season, but I—and I’m not alone—haven't forgotten the embarrassment they caused the Vol Nation last September. They were the beneficiaries of an epic Vol fail on ESPN on Labor Day and that must be avenged.</p><br />
<p align="justify">So to keep it short, I'm ready to get Saturday's win over Western over with, <b>halvalla evista apteekki</b>, so we can start really getting the juices flowing for when UCLA visits.  This Saturday will be a nice little greeting time and introduction time for everybody, but we'll know much, much more about the Vols sometime around 8 p.m. September 4th.</p></p>
<p><hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I am hopefully optimistic, <b>Kjøpe billig epogen</b>, but realize that things could go poorly for the Vols this season.  Thus, I think I am taking the wait-and-see approach and am hoping that we will see a few fireworks this Saturday.  Mainly, I am just hoping that the Vols return to being a team once more and that the fans finally start cheering and quit booing like they did last season.  Thus, I am a little worried about the in-the-stands aspect of the game.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Either way, for this week, I am pretty pumped because Western Kentucky doesn’t have a whole lot of fire.  As for the Florida game … I’ll get back to you on that one.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p></p>
<p><h3>4) Alright, <b>Florida FL Fla.</b>, we've come through all of the previews and prognostications thus far but one real question remains: in the minds of each of the Roundtablers how do you expect the Vols to fare against the competition on their schedule?  Which games do they win, which games do they lose, and why?</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>HSH</em></span>:</strong> Here’s my picks for the season:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Lane Kiffin's not going to lose his first game, and Western Kentucky isn't really that good at football right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — Neither team was good last year, <b>Maine ME Me.</b>, and I don't know who's improved more, but there is absolutely no way a Pac-10 team should come 3,000 miles cross-country and beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium (see Cal 2006).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: LOSS</strong> — Look, we aren't going to get beat 175-0, but we aren't going to beat Florida. They are more talented, <b>order cytoxan online cheap</b>, deeper, faster, it's really hot in the afternoons in Gainesville, and they have Tim Tebow.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — This game kind of scares me, <b>Order gleevec from canada</b>, but Tennessee's not going to lose to Ohio.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — Because Gene Chizik is the coach of the Tigers.  Also, right now, Chris Todd is their QB. Even if he was throwing to Andre and Calvin Johnson, he still would be no better a QB than what the Vols have.  Even simpler: Tennessee should have won last year, and they added a much better recruiting class.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: LOSS</strong> — The Vols can win this game, <b>Um epogen online</b>, but UGA's two strengths are their lines, which isn't exactly what we're looking at right now.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — I would expect a low-scoring game, but Alabama's the better team playing at home, so I'm not going out on a limb.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — When the Gamecocks lose Thursday night, <b>Bestill evista online</b>, people will see the issues they have.  Unless Stephen Garcia blows up, I don't expect much from Carolina.  They'll be solid on defense, but they lost Kenny McKinley and Jared Cook and the offensive line has been iffy at best.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — It's only not happened once.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: LOSS</strong> — Unless the Rebels tank amidst the preseason hype - as they are fully capable of doing - you can't expect Tennessee to win in Oxford.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — 2005 was a fluke and a half.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — Tennessee always beats Kentucky.</div></li><br />
</ul><br />
<hr /><br />
<p align="justify"><img class="bullet-inline" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/assets/00-icons/wedge-or-square.png" alt="bullet" /> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Lawvol</em></span>:</strong> I’m an idiot, but here’s what I think:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Western Kentucky</span></strong>: <strong>WIN — </strong>Even last year we win this one.  Western Kentucky is just out-manned.  In fact, to keep from showing our looks to the likes of Florida and such, I think we should only start Eric Berry, <b>Koop korting casodex</b>, and let him take on the entire Western Kentucky squad.  In that scenario, I’d say Western Kentucky 3, Eric Berry 42.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UCLA</span>: WIN</strong> — This one actually scares me a bit because the Bruins managed to beat us last year and they just plain sucked.  Still, it should be entertaining to see The Full Monte versus Norm Chow’s offense.  I think the last thing that <a title="The Blackjack General | Lane Kiffin" href="http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/kiffin_lane00.html" target="_blank">the Blackjack General</a> wants to do is lose to his old cross-town whipping boy from his days at USC.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Florida</span>: We have a chance</strong> — Yes, <b>Comprare casodex sconto</b>, I realize this is not an answer to the question, but I think we might have a chance.  Why?  I think that the chutzpah that Kiffin has shown, paired with all the bulletin board material over the last year counts for something.  I think if there is anyway humanly possible for the Vols to string together an unlikely victory on heart alone, this is the one.  If the Vols win, it is a nail-biter.  If it follows the script that everyone thinks rationally should happen, Florida by 7.  If the Vols aren’t ready then the boys in orange (<em>and their fans</em>) get bent over the table and take it the hard way from the Jorts tribe.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ohio</span>: WIN</strong> — Ohio almost beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus last year until third quarter errors gave the game away.  Ohio will be trying to prove something and will com in hyped.  Thus, <b>kjøpe billig cytoxan</b>, be careful in writing them off.  The Vols better forget about the Florida game really quickly (<em>regardless of the outcome</em>) and be ready for this one.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Auburn</span>: WIN</strong> — This one is intriguing, but I really think the Vols have an advantage here, albeit a small one.  I think this is one of those games where the Orange are glad to be playing in Neyland Stadium.  Close, but the Vols take it home.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Georgia</span>: WIN</strong> — I think that the loss of Stafford and Moreno leave Georgia with an anemic offense which our defense can handle.  Furthermore, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>, with an effective running game (<em>set behind a zone blocking scheme which will have had some time to gel</em>) I think the Vols get it done in a barnburner that goes down to the wire.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alabama</span>: LOSS</strong> — This game <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">could</span></em></strong> go either way, but I think Nick Saban will have time to get his offense settled by this late in the season and the home field advantage is just too much for the Vols.  That said, if they win against Florida and have anything left in the tank Volunteers leave it on the field in Tuscaloosa and could pull out an unlikely win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carolina</span>: WIN</strong> — I think we return to what we have seen in years past from the Thunder Chickens as they awe the world with their average-ness once more.  I think one year after Spurrier pushed Smiling Mike to the point of firing the Great Punkin, The Ole Ball Coach announces his retirement the day after the Vols win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Memphis</span>: WIN</strong> — There is no way that the Vols should lose this game.  Of course, there was no way the Vols should have lost in 1996 either.  Still, a betting man calls this one a win.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ole Miss</span>: WIN</strong> — The Vols have Memphis the preceding week, while Ole Miss has Northern Arizona (<em>I didn’t even know they had a team</em>).  Thus, both should have a week to get healthy and buck-up.  If Ole Miss is leading in the West, then the Vols have their work cut out for them.  If not, then the Vols have a lot more to play for — respect.  This could easily go Ole Miss’ way, but I’m giving the Vols the nod (<em>for now</em>).</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanderbilt</span>: WIN</strong> — Hmmm … Vandy actually looks to have a better squad than last year, but so do the Vols.  Tennessee by double digits.</div></li><br />
	<li><br />
<div><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kentucky</span>: WIN</strong> — The complete lack of a defense by the Kentucky Wildcats helps balance out Tennessee’s weaknesses on offense.  The Orange stretch the streak on more year.</div></li><br />

<p align="justify"> <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, With football season right around the corner, the University of Tennessee has made a second change in as many years to the system of selling and distributing tickets to its students. They just released <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/">the information on it</a> today, and I just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the changes, <b>kopen goedkope gleevec</b>, because <a href="http://bigorangetix.utk.edu/about.html">it's fairly different</a> from last year's system.</p><br />
<p align="justify">The highlights and lowlights of the new system and a brief history of my own student tickets experiences after the jump.</p><br />
<p align="justify"></p><br />
<p align="justify">I'm a senior.  <b>Billiga arimidex apotek</b>, My first two years I shamefully admit to being in the much-disdained Orange Nation. No, I never wore the shirts and the people around me most of the time angered me (and my friends) with their obvious lack of caring about the game, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>. It made sense - you pay a little extra, <b>Where to buy cytoxan</b>, but you pretty much get guaranteed quality seats.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Until you start sitting betweens rows 8 and 10 in Section F - the corner where you can't really see anything. This might be taking it for granted, but if I'm not gonna be close enough to be on the first three rows, then I would like to be higher, so I could see the actual game, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. I then found out that the group leaders took care of "people that helped them" and had them on a separate "front-row" lists at the ticket office.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Fortunately, when the University went to last year's system of season tickets and charging us for seats, <b>cheap epogen online without prescription</b>, they did away with the group, <b>Buy zometa online legally</b>, and now I have no clue if it even exists anymore. Amidst all the fuss over the charging of tickets, I was more amused than anything, <b>epogen</b>. People in Facebook groups threatened boycotting the openere against UAB and a rally to wear black at the Orange and White Game (that never actually happened), <b>Order casodex online legally</b>, which was held shortly after the announcement.</p><br />
<p align="justify">Well, the new "cost" of tickets -  or one fewer 12-pack of Natty Light - and the poor product on the field attributed to really pitiful student attendance, which I <a href="http://gate21.net/2008/09/17/our-students/">lamented on here after the UAB game</a>, <b>comprar epogen</b>. The full student section was full for maybe the Florida game, <b>Louisiana LA</b>, and I don't even know if it was full for the Alabama debacle.</p><br />
<p align="justify">As for me, I had better luck with tickets last year than either of my first two years: the highest I sat was row 35 for the Florida game, and I was on the front row for both Northern Illinois and Alabama, <b>Osta iressa</b>.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, In three years, I've never sat in the upper deck of the student section or outside any section other than D, E or F. Pretty good luck, <b>Arimidex for sale</b>, eh?</p><br />
<p align="justify">So when I heard last week while on vacation of the change in the system, I feared the worse. <em>My luck has to run out at some point?</em> But I read about it today, <b>New Mexico NM N.Mex.</b>, and here's my thoughts:</p></p>
<p><ul><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE GOOD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> UT has now gone to a points or "Loyalty" system, <b>Where to buy cheap iressa</b>, in effect increasing student's chances of getting good seats if they regularly attend games. I know some other schools in the SEC have something similar to this, where the more sporting events a student attends across all sports, <b>Idaho ID</b>, the more points you accumulate and the better chances for winning lottery tickets to away games, <b>South Dakota SD</b>, bowls or SEC Championship Games. Hence, the more hardcore fans get rewarded with better seats.</li><br />
	<li> Seniority, <b>buy gleevec online without prescription</b>, baby. For the first year, you have priority based on your credit hours, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>.  <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Which obviously helps me, as I'm over 100 hours and just a semester and six hours from being an alum. So they took care of me.</li><br />
	<li> No more waiting in lines at the University Center, <b>North Carolina NC N.C.</b>. Not too long ago, <b>Buy epogen pill</b>, UT was first-come, first-serve on football tickets. To eliminate the camping out and the suffering academics took as a result, <b>cheap cytoxan online</b>, they made it random, <b>Købe zometa</b>, so it didn't matter when you got there - all tickets were random.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Last year, if you bought tickets you still had to go pick them up. This system is all online. I never really minded waiting, <b>zometa en ligne afin</b>, but sometimes it got complicated when everyone you're wanting to sit with lives somewhere different off-campus than you, <b>Cheapest cytoxan online</b>, coordinating the collection of IDs got a little tricky.</li><br />
<p align="justify"><strong><em>THE BAD:</em></strong><em></em></p></p>
<p>	<li> The Group Policy. I had to read it a couple of times for it to make sense, but it still seems more complicated than it needs to be, <b>buy cheap gleevec</b>. The principle is still the same - 12 people max, have to apply at once. Yet, simply put you just have to find a "leader" and coordinate with ID numbers and all that, <b>buy capecitabine online cheap</b>. Either way, it seems like it could very easily cause problems.</li><br />
	<li> What counts as "good" or the "best" seats. Obviously if you're sitting on row 40, you have a better view of the actual game than if you're on row 1. So I just have to wonder how exactly they define those terms. I would guess "best" means closest...</li><br />
	<li> It's so much more complex than it has been, and that could easily be a turn-away for the impatient and flaky students we very clearly have at this University.  <b>Buy capecitabine online cheap</b>, Perhaps the explanation was just really poor, or maybe the system is just meant to be that way. Only time will tell about the effectiveness.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p align="justify">So, at this point I have no idea if I should say I like or not. The only way to find that out is to obviously go through the process a couple of times. Fortunately for me, I'll only have to deal with 8 times, and then I'm done with it - and on to the big-boy alumni/donor tickets system...</p><br />

<p align="justify">For those that might have missed it, ESPN's Outside the Lines ran a feature story on Lane Kiffin this morning. In case you did miss it, <a href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4238779">take a moment and watch it</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><img class="alignleft" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team%20Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" width="90" height="75" /></p>
<p align="justify">Now, I think most of us can agree on the quality of that report in terms of a positive portrayal of Tennessee's football coach and the confidence (outsiders will say arrogance, of course) he has in his plan. What he says about rivals' fans and coaches at the very end might be my favorite part of the story - other than the parts with the lovely Layla.</p>
<p align="justify">In case you were not aware, am I currently a student at UT, entering my senior year. I am majoring in journalism/electronic media here in Knoxville, and as I get closer to having to go out and start working, I find myself watching all kinds of TV - the local news, SportsCenter, highlight shows, the Tonight Shows with Conan/Letterman - and noticing different specific journalistic and production aspects that most of you probably don't, simply because I have a better understanding of it (I am studying and doing some of this stuff, after all).</p>
<p align="justify">Put another way, what lawvol is to law, I am to journalism - except much less of an expert, obviously.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a really good piece from a journalistic point of view, and credit Wendi Nix for doing a good job. It covers the recent stories surrounding Coach Kiffin and the program very well, and gets added input from other sources - the Raiders, Ed Orgeron, Mike Hamilton, Layla, and USC head coach Pete Carroll. The piece is very visual, with clips from Kiffin's various public appearances to shots at the spring game and spending time with his daughters at World's Fair Park in downtown Knoxville.</p>
<p align="justify">However, the part in question (and where I find issue with ESPN) comes with just under two minutes left in the story. In Coach Kiffin's office, you see him and assistant coach Eddie Gran speaking with a couple of recruits. It isn't in the video linked above, but after the completion of the feature, Bob Ley, the host of the show and longtime ESPN personality, says that the clip is actually a <a href="http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/jun/07/espn-may-have-caught-kiffin-scondary-violation/">secondary violation</a>. Media members cannot witness the contact between a coach and a recruit.</p>
<p align="left"><!--more--></p>


[caption id=" " align="alignright" width="157" caption="Did ESPN set Tennessee and Lane Kiffin up for another violation?"] <a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk.jpg" alt=" " width="157" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">There are a variety of theories about this, and maybe it's not even that big of a deal. Perhaps ESPN threw that in there to create a story. Perhaps they showed somebody at UT the story and UT didn't know or didn't even care that there may have been a minor violation (it was Florida commit Lamarcus Joyner, so the <em>Take that, Urban!</em> possibility enhances that theory). We're taught that when you interview someone, you don't show them what you're going to use or the final product, because they may want to change it and that may influence how you report a story (if I look like a moron in an interview, I'll want to change that, right?). I have no idea if ESPN goes by that or how they do it, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p align="justify">The problem I have with taking this story and throwing that little jab in at the end is this: the fundamental bottom line purpose of a journalist is to report the news. Present the necessary information in an accurate, unbiased way. Theoretically, you're supposed to lose credibility if people find bias or inaccuracies in your reporting. It has to do with more or less being a service to the public and operating in their interest.</p>
<p align="justify">As a small disclaimer: no, I don't watch any of the politics-heavy stations that skew stuff. And in today's age, most people will find problems in the way you report or write a story just to find problems. Also, if a story disagrees with someone's opinion, it's automatically dismissed - that's just the world we are living in. You can't and you're not gonna please everybody. Also, I think everyone is biased and personally it's near impossible to hide that.</p>
<p align="justify">It just seems to me that the point of the piece was to show Tennessee football under Lane Kiffin in a more in-depth way. It was effort to see what Lane's behavior - the comments, the violations, etc - really is a reflection of: his arrogance, his brilliance, or his inexperience. Why do you feel the need to throw in the bit about the violation? It just seems they felt the need to add the scene with Kiffin and the recruit for no other reason than to create another story.</p>
<p align="justify">ESPN could have taken a clip or used another one. For example, Nix mentions the number of recruits that visited Knoxville for the Orange/White Game. Why not show a shot of recruits standing on the sidelines or sitting in the stands watching the game? It's not like the recruits don't stick out on campus, could getting a shot of them on a tour or at the game been impossible for ESPN?</p>
<p align="justify">I'll try another scenario. I'm a reporter doing an interview with Barack Obama. In this scenario, Obama has just made a couple of foolish remarks (insert G.W. Bush jokes here) and told some other world leaders they're idiots. However, the focus of my story is how Obama is really a genius behind-the-scenes and a family man. However, I get a clip of him kicking Bo, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html">the family dog</a>, because Bo just kept digging holes in the White House flower beds.</p>
<p align="justify">As I'm putting the story together, I see this clip. Should I use it or not? <em>It doesn't really have <strong>anything</strong> to do with the rest of my story, but man, the uproar I could create by putting it in there!</em> OK, it's a little extreme and probably an awful comparison, but I think it's the same point.</p>
<p align="justify">It's almost as if ESPN set Tennessee and Kiffin up by doing the story, and then finding this to make more out of it. I don't think I would be alone in feeling that way.</p>
<p align="justify">I'm not saying this means ESPN is going to lose all of its credibility and viewers because they push and may have crossed the boundary of journalism ethics. I just think if you're looking for examples of how <em>not</em> to be respected, professional institution focused on presenting information as clearly as possible, then this would qualify.</p>
<p align="justify">I'll use another such example. Earlier this year <em>Sports Illustrated</em> reported Boston College DT B.J. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4037535">failed a drug test at the NFL Combine</a>. Raji <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4049988">disputed</a> that report, and it turned out <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/04/21/raji/index.html">SI.com was wrong</a>. Think Raji will be willing to do any SI interviews anytime soon? Doubt it.</p>
<p align="justify">Maybe UT wanted it this way. <em>Any publicity is good publicity</em> seems to be the line of thinking over there. Maybe I'm wrong about ESPN. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing what they did. Maybe I'm being biased myself. Maybe I'm a moron. Maybe I'm making much ado about nothing. After all, it's just a measly secondary violation...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Either way, playing some football games would render all this pretty moot. August can't get here quick enough...</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/Team Logos/FB-00-Tennessee.png" alt="" align="right" /> <strong><em>Neyland Stadium is in the process of getting a new face, but now it is also getting a new name...</em></strong></p>
<p align="justify">At a press conference early this morning, UT Athletic Director Mike Hamilton announced that starting this season the Home of the Vols—known since 1962 as Neyland Stadium—will have a new name: “<strong><em>Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing</em></strong>”</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="204" caption="New logo for Nissan Stadium at Neyland Landing"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium.png"><img style="border: 0pt none; display: inline;" title="Nissan-Stadium" src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nissanstadium-thumb.png" border="0" alt="Nissan-Stadium" width="204" height="189" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Joined by UT Acting President <a href="http://president.tennessee.edu/" target="_blank">Jan Simek</a>, Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam, head football coach Lane Kiffin, and Nissan representatives, Hamilton unveiled preliminary designs for the new stadium logo and explained why Nissan was ultimately chosen as the new principal naming partner for Tennessee’s most visible icon.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="justify">This is an historic opportunity for athletics at Tennessee and for the stadium that we all love.  Furthermore, this partnership assures the financial future of this program for many years to come.  When we began the process of exploring a naming alliance, from the outset, we were committed to forging a pact with an organization that was both committed to this great state, but also one that fans and alumni could be proud of.  That is precisely what Nissan could offer.  Furthermore, this historic alliance only serves to amplify the national respect for Tennessee football and for the university as a whole.</p>

<h5 style="text-align: right;"><em>• Mike Hamilton, commenting on UT / Nissan Partnership</em></h5>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In total, Nissan will contribute over .1 billion to the UT athletics program over the next 5 years.  Though unconfirmed at this time, there were indications that Nissan is considering a re-branding of its products to feature an orange and black color scheme.</p>
<p align="justify">Since the start of the athletic department’s master plan renovations to Neyland Stadium in 2004, the project has been funded by private funding sources.  UT Athletics Board leader Jim Haslam noted that, while largely relying upon VASF donors, the scope and size of the project was such that corporate partners were envisioned from the beginning.   “<em>While it was never publicly advertised, the naming rights for the stadium were always available,</em>” said Haslam.  Haslam also indicated that other companies were considered, but none could provide what Nissan ultimately offered.</p>
<p align="right"><!--more--></p>
<p align="justify">The alliance with Nissan will fund the remainder of the $ 200 million phase III of the Master Plan renovations already underway, as well as future renovations to the stadium which have yet to commence.  In addition to its contributions to athletics, Nissan will also make sizable donations to the UT educational endowments, especially in areas tied to engineering and the automotive industry.</p>

Nissan North America President and CEO, Carlos Ghosn, remarked:
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Since the 1982 construction of the Nissan assembly facility in Smyrna, Nissan has been committed to the State of Tennessee, this partnership with the University of Tennessee further cements that pledge to the people of this great state.  This is our bond to the people of Tennessee.  At Nissan we expect excellence, evidenced by the quality automotive products our thousands of Tennessee and worldwide employees produce.  The Tennessee athletics program is equally known for its excellence and its tradition of winning.  That is why Nissan is here.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">In addition to its global facilities, Nissan currently operates facilities in Smyrna, Jackson, Franklin, and Decherd, Tennessee and in Canton, Mississippi.  The Smyrna facility, which employs more than 6,000 Tennesseans, covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres.  More than one-half million vehicles are produced there every year.</p>
<p align="justify">The announcement was not uniformly greeted with cheers of enthusiasm.  Some Vol fans are disturbed at the notion of changing the name of the stadium.  Knoxville resident <a title="Hooper Holingsworth's home on the web" href="http://www.rockytoptalk.com/" target="_blank">Hooper Hollingsworth</a> said, “<em>I’m glad that Nissan wants to help out, but that’s Neyland Stadium, not some car company.</em>”  Others were uniformly opposed to the proposition, “<em>This is just another sellout.  What’s next, the Swaggerty’s Sausage Arena?</em>” said Gus Harris of Clinton.  Some also noted that it was ironic that this announcement came one year to the day after the <a title="Engineers Say Sunsphere Must be Demolished  | Gate 21" href="http://gate21.net/2008/04/01/engineers-say-sunsphere-must-be-demolished/">announcement that one of Knoxville’s other icons—the Sunsphere—was to be demolished</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">The official renaming of the stadium is currently scheduled to take place during halftime of the September 5th football season opener versus Western Kentucky.</p>

Vols Outlast Marquette

<h2>Vols Outlast Marquette</h2>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vols 80, Marquette 68"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-final-score-300x112.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="112" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">At least it wasn't another loss.</p>
<p align="justify">It was another start, but fortunately Tennessee was able to fight their way back to a halftime tie Tuesday night in Nashville. As I was sitting watching a halftime show featuring two contestants who hit a combined two three-pointers in 35 seconds (no joke, one guy <em>did not move his feet the entire time</em>, not even jumping), I was expecting a battle in the second half. Honestly, I was excited for the promising outlook of a quality basketball game.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="243" caption="A small band of Marquette students made the trip and perched themselves right behind Section 120. Notice the guy on the left who at first glance appears to be painted completely gold and wearing just a Speedo (I was told it was actually a leotard)..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-marquette-fans-243x300.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Well, then the men in striped shirts came out of the tunnel...</p>
<p align="justify">Seriously, great win for Tennessee and all, but I drove three hours in a cloudy, misty fog to watch Tennessee and Marquette <em>play basketball</em>, not for the referees to take over the show and call 54 fouls. If this doesn't count as a "free-throw shooting contest" - 71 combined freebies - then I don't know what is. And it wasn't one-sided really or anything like that. It was just <strong>atrocious</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough of that rant. Amidst all the fouling, the game was entertaining to watch. The large Tennessee crowd was into it, and Marquette <del>probably</del> definitely had more fans in the Sommet Center than did Vanderbilt. Marquette is located in Milwaukee; Vandy is five minutes down the road. Fortunately for me, I didn't get to the arena until the last four minutes of the South Florida-Vanderbilt snooze-fest the preceded the Vols-Eagles game. Even in those four minutes, I might as well been watching a couple D-2 schools...</p>
<p align="justify">OK, enough fun at Vanderbilt's expense (oh yeah, our worst football team <em>ever</em> beat their first bowl team in 25 years...). As Ghost over at 3SIB so eloquently put it, <a href="http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/this-vols-team-is-frustratingly-fine/">this Tennessee team is frustrating to watch at times</a>. For example, the three or four turnovers on alley-oop attempts that are clearly not there. Missed open and contested threes, which we fans aren't used to (late first half comes to mind, when Maze had a WIDE-OPEN look from the wing in transition...and missed it). Failure to switch on some pick-and-rolls, leaving open looks at three for the opponent. Heck, even when Scotty Hopson chased down a loose ball right under the basket - and proceeded to not properly secure it and score two easy points - you can't help but not be a little flustered.</p>
<p align="justify">All that said, this team fought through it - the fouls, the poor outside shooting, the stifling Marquette defense on Tyler Smith, the night Wes Matthews had, the late runs Marquette made, the last of which was silenced by this unlikely source...</p>
<p align="justify">After feeble and failed attempts at catching something YouTubeable and postable, Josh Tabb makes my night and essentially seals the win over Marquette. So, from <del>all of us here at Gate 21</del> me, <strong>thank you, Josh Tabb</strong>.</p>
<p align="justify">[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d021Ezkyxv8[/youtube]</p>
<p align="justify">And also a huge, HUGE thanks to Wayne Chism. Smilin' Wayne showed up to the tune of 27 points, 11 board, 8-of-11 from the field and the line, and a pair of huge second half threes. After Marquette had made a mini-run to take a 48-46 lead, Chism scored 15 of Tennessee's next 19 points, to forge the Vols to a 65-58 lead.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="216" caption="Tyler knocking down a pair of free throws from the Dominic James technical"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-tyler-fts-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">Actually, you could argue that the Dominic James technical foul more or less turned the tide, as Tennessee took a six-point lead thanks to the pairs of free throws converted by Tyler Smith and Chism. After Lazar Hayward hit the three that Tabb answered, Marquette did not score.</p>
<p align="justify">As for the judging of Tennessee's play, the defense was better, if only statistically. Yes, Marquette got too many open looks, a few of which Tennessee was fortunate to have not go down, but the Eagles made 8 threes and only 10 twos, and shot under 40% for the game, and in each half. It may have been a little iffy at times, but there were improvements in that area.</p>
<p align="justify">Three-point shooting is going to be an issue all year. Honestly, Renaldo Woolridge might be the most consistent guy in that aspect. He's certainly not afraid of shooting. We've seen Cam Tatum go off. Still awaiting Scotty Hopson to have a "breakout" game with his beautiful, rainbow, nearly-hitting-the-center-hung-scoreboard it's-got-so-much-arc J. It was good to see Tabb, the defensive stopper (kudos to him on guarding James most of the night), hit a big three in a tough spot.</p>
<p align="justify">Offensively, the Vols had no answer to Marquette's trapping 1-3-1 zone until they started to attack it with the dribble. I think having J.P. Prince, who's value as an experienced wing player and defender should no longer be underestimated, likely would have helped in that regard. Bobby Maze still isn't quite there yet, but his play Tuesday was better than Saturday.</p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Yes, the JumboTron was high-quality, but showed NO replays all night, though I am not totally sure why..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mu-ut-scoreboard-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">But finally, back to Wayne. He has the upside, he just now needs to put solid performances together. And I wish people would quit groaning everytime he lines up a three. Like it or not, it's part of the offense, people. He hits one of his four or five attempts each game, which is about what the other guys are doing anyways. That said, I think he needs to utilize his post game more, and look to earn trips to line, because he's obviously worked on his free-throw stroke.</p>
<p align="justify">The Vols now have two home games to close out 2008, against Belmont Saturday afternoon and Louisiana-Lafayette the 29th. Then of course is the 2009-opening trip out to Lawrence to play Kansas January 3rd. I would say that's the next test, but let's not sleep on those Bruins. Just in the last week, Cleveland State won at Syracuse, Texas struggled with two in-state schools and Memphis beat Arkansas-Little Rock by all of 8 points. Let's hope the young Vols can build off this W...</p>

<h2>Miss Me?</h2>
<p align="justify">Those of you who normally visit us here at the Gate will obviously noticed that, well, I have been non-existent since Thanksgiving. No lawvol did not ban me, change my password and lock me out of WordPress, and I have not quit blogging or anything else.</p>
<p align="justify">Simply put, I've had to finish up this semester with finals and studying and all that nonsense. Then there was the painting of our apartment, which is more than likely what I was doing when I wasn't studying. As it is, I'm back in Memphis for the between-semester break.</p>
<p align="justify">Quite a bit has gone on since my last posting, and I'm sure I'll have more on these things and others as they come about over the next however long. As it is here's what I'll touch on right here and right now with Vols football and hoops:</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>1. Farewill Philip Fulmer and hello Lane (and Monte) Kiffin.</strong></p>


[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Some Vol fan might have shed a tear or two, but I was all smiles of happiness watching Fulmer go out the way he did and the way he should be remembered: a winner"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/farewell-fulmer.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/farewell-fulmer.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="236" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">First off, an absolutely great performance in the season finale for the Vols as they beat Kentucky 28-10. The defense finished off an excellent season and the offense actually scored four touchdowns, running left, right, up the middle, around the end, all over the Cats. Even Jonathan Crompton completed that beautiful touchdown pass to Denarius Moore.</p>
<p align="justify">If there was a way for Coach Fulmer to go out, that might have been it: being carried off the field by a pair of seniors going out as a winner.</p>
<p align="justify">Honestly, that seems like a distant memory now, because these last two weeks have been all about new head coach Lane Kiffin and (a) the speculation of the staff he might/is assemble/ing and (b) the Sherman like march of recruiting. I think the guy finally returned to Knoxville a couple of days ago after tearing through the state, the West Coast, Ohio, and who knows where else. He's gotten a commitment from Eric Gordon, some visits from guys who weren't probably planning on it, and consideration from guys who might have had Tennessee out of the picture.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignright" width="157" caption="I am convinced Lane Kiffin did not sleep during his two week recruiting tear..."]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk-157x300.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/welcome-clk-157x300.jpg" alt="" width="157" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify">It's obviously been two weeks as Tennessee's coach, but so far so good if you ask me. He said at his press conference that he was going to try and outwork other coaches, and so far you can't really say he hasn't done that. And we're still waiting on the completion of his staff, which won't happen until after the NFL season most likely. Of the last regime coaches who are still in limbo, I would expect Latrell Scott to be the most likely to stay. And of course I think it's all-but-official on Monte Kiffin as the defensive coordinator, which is great. Still awaiting word on Ed Orgeron and the rest of the staff. Lane was given an extra million for staff salaries, and Tennessee fans are being kept waiting on the potentially all-star staff Tennessee could have next year.</p>
<p align="justify">Finally, as fans, let's give this guy a chance. If you watched the SEC Championship game, you realize we are quite a bit behind Florida. In fact, I firmly believe that the SEC going forward will be an Urban-Saban world that the rest of us will be living in. To be competitive, Tennessee was going to have to hire someone who could compete with those two guys in recruiting and X's and O's. Is Lane Kiffin that guy? Only time will tell. Some are skeptical (you know who you are), but I'm not. He's young, he's energetic, and I think he has a chance to be great.</p>
<p align="justify">Also, a shout-out to former offensive coordinator Dave Clawson, now the new head man at Bowling Green. Seriously, I wish him much success at his new place, and I'm glad he landed very much on his feet. Now I just hope he doesn't take Latrell Scott with him...</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>2. Eric Berry gets Manninged</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Someone explain to me how Eric Berry didn't win the Thorpe award over Ohio State's Malcolm Jenkins. I know Jenkins is like a no-brainer first round NFL pick and whatever and it's harder to make a statistical impact at corner because you don't get thrown to blah blah blah but that's pure robbery.</p>
<p align="justify">It's crap like that gives me plenty of reason to not care about any of the postseason awards, including and especially the Heisman. Call me a homer, bitter, whatever, but just like much of the rest of college football, it's quite political.</p>


[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="230" caption="Playing a DECEMBER road game against a team with a guy named Christmas: bad idea"]<a href="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/christmas-early-for-temple.jpg"><img src="http://gate21.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/christmas-early-for-temple.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="325" /></a>[/caption]
<p align="justify"><strong>3. Not sure any of us expected <em>that</em>...</strong></p>
<p align="justify">My last basketball related words were of the high-praise variety, following the Vols win over Georgetown in the Old Spice Classic semifinals. Since then, Tennessee lost to a good Gonzaga team, sleep-walked by UNC-Asheville (mad props to Tyler Smith for turning the first triple-double in Tennessee hoops history), and got smoked by a Temple team playing at a high level at home.</p>
<p align="justify">Now I'm an optimistic guy, so here's why Vols fans shouldn't be totally freaking out: first, J.P. Prince was out and, though he gets a bad rap at times, he is quite a valuable guy for Tennessee. In addition, this was Tennessee's first true road game with a number of new guys, Temple is no slouch, it's still December, and Bruce Pearl is the coach. Remember two years ago when Tennessee went to South Carolina in mid-February and got run out of the gym similar to Saturday? Yeah, that team had less athleticism and they reached the Sweet 16. Let's not get too bent out of shape here...</p>
<p align="justify">That said, things aren't all hunky-dory. Defense is an issue. The press has been for the most part ineffective especially against Gonzaga and Temple, both of whom have experienced guards. Wayne Chism has yet to continue the growth and progress he made last year, and the platoon of him and Brian Williams have struggled the last couple of games. The three-point shooting has also been inconsistent.</p>
<p align="justify">It doesn't get easier, as Tennessee faces off against Marquette in Nashville Tuesday night. The Eagles also have experienced guards in Dominic James, Jerel McNeal and Wesley Matthews. It will be interesting to see how Tennessee will bounce back from Saturday's loss.</p>
<p align="justify">I will be in the house for that game, and if for no other reason, Tennessee should win because I've seen Tennessee lose in person all of twice in my most immediate past: LSU in the SEC Tournament two years ago and the loss at Memphis State in Bruce's first year. I'll have my camera, so hopefully I'll get some quality photos and/or video and get to share them with you, the wonderful readers of Gate 21 (no guarantees, however...)</p>
<p align="justify">As it is, I'm glad to be back posting again and lawvol and I should have some good stuff going this month.</p>
