I don't know which celebration will be bigger for me. Butch Jones leaving Tennessee, or Nick Saban leaving Bama. Both signal an immeasurably positive change in my life.
When it does happen, We need an 8th party in a central location for all that desire to attend. BBQ is on Beech!
Somebody posted this over at VN. "2012 Home Attendance (DD last season): 87,821 102,455 81,719 102,455 84,189 89,272 81,841 Last Year (Butch BIG Year): 100,074 101,362 102,455 102,455 98,343 101,075 101,012 These numbers will sharply decline this season, and the rest will be history."
I'm assuming (don't have proof) he meant announced attendance which IIRC is tickets sold and not butts in seats. Could be wrong on that.
Saw this on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...16884151669.2002351.1512069970&type=3&theater
Even if it's turnstile, it's a strong predictor of what ticket sales will be in the upcoming season. Further, even if only turnstile, those empty seats are felt at the concessions and merch stands. And like Dooley, Butch isn't Bruce Pearl...he ain't talking them into the building. It attendance dips into the 80's after UGA, he has to be gone.
Dude is in full meltdown mode, apparently. Rumor is that Atone Davis apparently didn't make the trip to Florida, and had to drive himself to Atlanta. "one or two plays don't decide the game" "Guess we should just abandon what got us down to the the one yard line and run it" (paraphrasing those quotes)
Cowherd just said that Butch Jones is getting fired and nobody will hire him as a Head Coach. "He is done as a Head Coach" Recommends Bob Stoops, Chip Kelley, and a couple other a A Listers. Says UT is a Top 10 program.
stew mandel said something similar on his podcast with Feldman. Feldman didn't think he was going to get fired stew's response was "how can he not get fired?"
His weekly video conference, apparently. WBIR sports twitter has some of the quotes up. I think I heard from someone else here that he also said that this week both kickers will warm up before each field goal and they won't know who will be kicking until called upon. Brice on Tony B's show broke the news about Atone (Antoine?) Davis not traveling with the team, too.
Don't understand the significance / context of Antoine Davis bit. This isn't abnormal. The FG bit is looney tunes.
