3 DAYS!!!!

y'all, it's almost here. if you'd like to read a hopeful take on our 2012 season prospects, try this article on for size:

Justin Hunter was the best pass-catcher on the team until his early-season knee injury in 2011. Nearly 12 months later, he's back on the field and close to 100 percent. Two-time JUCO All-American wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson will also be reeling in catches, though he'll have to pick up the offense quicker than planned now.

Rajion Neal saw an opening at tailback and seized it. He outworked, out-practiced and out-scrimmaged Marlin Lane for the top spot. Lane was as sure a starter as any Volunteer in spring, but Neal showed the kind of fight that the Volunteers have lacked the past two seasons. Maybe he can be the spark for the running game.

The offensive line is extremely experienced and terrific at pass blocking, giving up the fewest sacks of any SEC team in 2011. The unit needs to improve its run blocking this year but should find that easier if the passing game can put up early points.

And then there's Tyler Bray. (via)

i have it on good authority (the internet) that the vols have been running drills while listening to this song?

personally, i think they could've found a more upbeat song with a similar message, but i'm glad theyre as hopeful as i am. ;(

we are adorable...

we do NOT drink michelob ultra, though.

BRB OUTSIDE: LOOOOK OUUUUT! TENN EDITION

Keeks and I are heading down to the mother land for the weekend. Here's what i expect to see.

tim gunn's gay?

jk. i knew he was. here he is talking about his trouble youth years, and even his own attempted suicide. jicydak, radio sex-advice personality, dan savage, created the "it gets better" project, in which celebs reach out to gay teens and young adults with youtubes full of hope.
