I do not think we're having trouble recuting recivers, so we need to have a strong running game? Wish we could get in some D linemen. GO VOLS!

Posted by mparker on May 7, 2008 at 8:16 a.m. (Suggest removal)

while they don't use igloos much any more, those things are pretty clever:

Tehy have a 'sleeping' zone, a work zone, and a 'cool zone'. The cool zone is at the bottom (warm air rises) and can be used to freeze food, whatever. You don't store food outside because of polar bears. Alos, the entrances are indeed designed to prevent bears from getting in.

Seems I read somewhere that the temp inside where the 'mos work is about 40-degrees F.

Kingsport, any man brave enough to make out with an Eskimo chic is aces in my book.

FACT: In the TN playbook, when at the goal line, there is a play known as 38-otis where the RB goes vertical over the goal line for a TD.(it's in everbodys playbook, this is just what Coach Fritter calls it)

If this guy can jump...rename it 38-nanook

How in the world did a guy from Alaska become a Vol fan?? Maybe he has relatives/friends in the VOL nation.

By the way - for GA residents - go to UTNAA Atlanta Chapter on the web and order your state of GA UT license plate. Need more people to sign up to get them made. I've already ordered 2 for my cars. GO VOLS!!

Glad we have a young man that wants to play for the Vols from so far away. I always have liked that we can get players from all over the country.

Wonder if he'll get any 'pt' and how good he is. Not to knock Alaska, but I haven't heard of many college stars coming out of that state (other than Trajon Langdon formerly of Duke bball). Again, not to downplay this young man, but I wonder if he will see the field much.

Either way, welcome to Knoxville Michael.

Welcome Monk. You'll just have to discover for yourself the rantings of Fritter & TDTN. Just be ready for negative comments to the Nth power. With 10,000 comedians outta work, they actually think they are funny with their nasty drivel.

Monk, some of the rest of us are NOT new to the site, but don't understand the relevance of fritters to UT football either.

Monk, last year I mention to the long departed TDTN that Ralph's in Cookeville, Tn makes the best and biggest apple fritters in the land.

TDTN has departed except in memory but fritter lived on since K Kreme glazed offended some.
The rest you'll pick up as we go merrily along.

Oh, Gen Fritter rose from the ashes akin to a Phoenix. You should be confused by now.

Monk, TDTN was a vile, crued individual who was anti Fulmer (called him FOOLMER). He violated every Govols rule in the book including privacy laws by investigating you and then posting your private information for all to read. He was a man who you did not want to cross as he would attack you personally with obscene, abusive, and threatening language. If you want to better understand his crazy mind go to:

Did a little digging if any one is interested. This kid was 6' as a junior, 193lbs. Found an article that said he wrestled at 215lbs though. He's apparently a 5 sport letterer and has a 3.67 GPA. Along with tailback, he played inside linebacker and apparently, he punted, lol.His personal best in the 40 was 4.49, which he ran at a UT camp. So maybe we have a diamond in the rough. Oh yeah, first ever football game he remembers watching, the '98 championship game, which is where he fell in love with the Vols.

Gen F- I've heard on good authority that an angel appeared to Ralph one early morn and gave him the fritter recipe. Now more than 50 yrs later they're still sailing out the door.

In the same location.......

While he's at it, maybe he can bring Ian Rosario, from Chugac HS in Eagle Pass, a 6' 6" 310# OT who runs the 40 in 5.3, and David Garness, a 6'5", 280# OT from Bartlett HS in Anchorage, who covers the 40 in 5.2, with him. These guys get NR from scout, probably because they don't play against credible opponents, and they dominate the smaller guy across from them. Anyway, I couldn't find out any particulars on this guy's speed at scout. Go Vols! SAVol

It is wonderful in the doldrums to have fritters to carry us through.

It will take the 1st Vol ($38K Phil) umfall to return glazed to the forum.

It is sad we never get a .25 from K Kreme for keeping their name in front of the faithful thru the season. Man, if they offered a special on a dozen glazed pus a gallon of orange koolaid for, say $2.98, plus an sjt18 autographed 8x10 glossy, pshaw!!

Norm Chow is sitting up until the wee hours with his head in his hands in UCLAN land. We're just changing oil in the juggernaut and getting ready to roil.

We'll show the AJC for doubting us and saying Fla and Ga has better QBs. Vegas got us at 100-1 or so for a NC. Psshaw!
