I feel that if we go much longer with this madness of the last 10 years and still consider ourselves a premier program, we're going to be reaffirming outsiders assertions that we're living in the past. We need someone who can elevate us NOW. I agree with the whole “status as a premier program” comment.

His propensity to hug women who hug him back clearly didn't affect his ability to make Tennessee a powerhouse. Sorry if I sound contentious, I'm still fuming over Friday night's disgrace.

If EJ stays, I'm going to be very disappointed in him. It would be horrifically stupid for him to stay. Go ask Roy Hibbert what it's like to stay in school that extra year, when he slips out of the lottery. EJ is not staying. If EJ stays, I'm going to be very disappointed in him.

I think the private buyout was crossing a line in the sand. Alumni with the means to make noise have decided they aren't going to sit on the sidelines anymore. If someone will pay $500K for Sampson to go away, what's to think they or someone else won't pay at least that much to have a coach they like. We have excellent athletic giving.
