He had on a bright orange tie but beyond that it's a pretty standard suit. Honestly I'm more fascinated now by the chancellor lady. She's just as socially awkward as him if not moreso.

I didn't watch, but apparently he said nothing about Butch Jones.

YES!  The 15 seconds of her I watched made me think "this gal could be Currie's sister"

We were entertained by his haircut, which looked like it came at the hands of a 7 iron.

I nearly choked when he said decade of dominance when referencing Phil Fulmer

There is nothing to be said other than the fact that he seems to be an enabler of sexual abusers. That's probably better left unsaid at the first press conference.

I forgot about that. Didn't a DB get beat up twice for standing up and helping a victim by teammates. Then quit the team. Thanks for the reminder. I hope Currie does the right thing.

So, its been a super long time since I've posted anything, but I got some awesome nuggets from an A++ source about Currie recently.

Apparently, he was a huge dickhead to staff always. A story was told that Currie was known to berate employees behind closed doors constantly. One day, an athletics staff employee showed up to an event at the Alumni Center with the wrong brand of water bottle. Currie lost his crap. This was a closed door event.

Jerry Kill was, in fact, hired to be the go-between for Snyder and Currie. Snyder refused to speak with him directly, and wouldn't even acknowledge him directly in meetings. I can just picture Bill saying something to Jerry at a meeting and Jerry relaying it to Currie, who is also in the meeting like, "John, Bill wants you to know he still can't stand you" while Bill has a crap-eating grin on his face.

This all has probably been discussed, but I missed it here.

The article said he starts April 1 IIRC, but I'm thinking we just said "leave now"?

Yeah, I'm 100% sure I don't want him back.

Have fun with that socially inept/ruthless dictator of a AD.

I am impressed that his Twitter header is now a quote from himself.

Volnation.com - very pro-UT; large community; there are some naysayers; when it happens the meltdowns will be epic
feelslike98.com - younger crowd; small community; somewhat disenchanted with UTAD
outermonvolia.com - older crowd; small community; still hopeful but disenchanted
8thmaxim.com - totally out on UTAD; still a fun read

Volquest (rivals) - https://tennessee.forums.rivals.com/ (I assume it's still very pro-UT)
