NCAAF Most improved teams for 2014 - ESPN

"8. TENNESSEE
In the past three years, the Volunteers are 4-20 in SEC play. This year's squad has much more experience at the skill positions than last year but remarkably has zero returning starters on the offensive and defensive lines. While they play my No. 2 toughest schedule in the country, those inexperienced lines will have more experience come November, when, if they sweep the likes of Kentucky, Missouri and Vanderbilt in their final three games, they will be bowling for the first time since 2010."

Yeah, east Tennessee is pretty nice. I've only been through Knoxville once, and that was on a trip to Gatlinberg when I was 15. We stopped by the stadium on the way back through town. lol, I found a Tennessee-Alabama football ticket on the lower concourse of the stadium (found an unlocked gate and snuck in).

Chapter One. I am born.

I am pleased to find brothers & sisters in Big Orange here, amidst the 'SportsHoopla.

After more than the requisite years in attendance at UTK, I graduated in '79 with a B.S.B.A. During my matriculation, I witnessed first hand Condredge Holloway and the birth of Air Volunteers, Bill Battles moving van experiences, the return of the prodigal son, Johnny Majors, the infamous North Texas hand-off play, and nary a single victory over Alabama. Outside of Neyland, I witnessed the Earnie & Bernie show, championship efforts in track & field and swimming & diving, concerts by Steve Martin, Elton John, Jimmy Buffet, Jackson Brown, George Clinton, the Dixie Dregs, and perhaps the worst stage performance ever by Anthony Quayle. I had many jobs, the longest of which was as the principal cook at the original Copper Cellar. By singing second voice on PPL's 'Amie' to accompany a guitar playing friend, I added just enough for us to win a case of beer one open mic night at the Longbranch Saloon. I lived in 3 different houses within a 2-block stretch of Laurel Ave near the RR tracks. I dated a number of women, had one on-again-off-again relationship over a 3-year period, and didn't wind up marrying my college sweetheart. Instead, years later, I would up marrying a formidable woman from greater Detroit.

Oh, and I played Boog, a submarine warfare game on the ARPAnet.
