Spidey,
I've thought about you as the Vols season progressed and wondered if it brought a smile to your face with visions of Ray-Bans detractors squirming in their denims. We’ve come to terms that he has pulled off his finest coaching year of his career and would get our vote for Coach-of-the-Year.
The administration now seeks answers if this will cure the meager attendance numbers that were recorded at Lindsey Nelson this banner year??? Its felt that the pressure for fannies-in-the-seats will persist as Ray-Bans has done the least of any coach to endure him to the community and the supporting Tennessee baseball fans.
I’m sure a BIG contract extension with a FAT raise will be awarded. I would expect a 4-6 year contract and the $475,000 figure is not unworkable. One thing for sure, Mr. Hamilton’s next meeting with Ray-Bans will be very different from his first as AD. I also imagine that the Recruitinator is very disappointed this year, but I expect him to bounce back and to maintain his + numbers against Ray-Bans.
With that out of the way..... Did the 2005 Vols surprise you with their season or did you anticipate that the Ray-Bans team would be in Omaha? What is your take on the team and their chances?
Glad to see you back.

Congratulations to the University of Tennessee baseball team & thier coaching staff. IMO Mike Hamilton should wait another year to give any type of contract extension. If the past is any indication of how things will proceed, it will not be pretty for a few years. Tennessee baseball has a habit of having a great season and then resting on their tail and bombing for the next two or three seasons. As for placing people in the seats, by not living in Knoxville I have know idea what the problem is. Knoxville still has a small town atmosphere and if Rod has made the community mad he will never fill the stadium.

I have to agree that I was pleasantly surprised and very happy to see the Vols explode down the home stretch.
Hochevar is the man! I watched James Adkins pitch a great game on ESPN and I was very happy for them.
For you Recruitanator fans, did you count the number of Vanderbilt players (and top 5 round pitchers) taken in the draft? Do you think they under-achieved by not making it to the SEC playoffs?

You don't think that the Recruitinator will point out something like that to a high school player he's recruiting do you? That would be just unfair!
I wonder what Fred Corral's thoughts are at this moment? Would Raybans be leaving by any chance to any other Universities?
I doubt Coach Rod would leave for any other job other than Cal State Fullerton, USC or Miami...
