As young high school football players begin to make their college football commitments they will not commit to a losing school. Most players that have committed to UT are beginning to back out because of how inconsistent and awful the football program has become. For example Cade Mays , a offensive tackle from Catholic High School, revoked his commitment after Tennessee’s rough start to the 2017 season. The Vols’ 2018 recruiting class fell to No. 13 overall (247Sports) after May's decision. Mays was the Volunteers only 5 star prospect for 2018 and not the only one to decommit. Mays is only one of 4 prospects to decommit from The University of Tennessee this …show more content…

Jones began coaching at Tennessee in 2013. His overall record at Tennessee has been 34- 24. This record may not sound bad but it is worse than you look into it barely any SEC games were won. Most of the wins were against small cupcake schools like Austin Peay or won in bowl games against non SEC conference teams. The year Butch Jones was building up to Brick By Brick did not go so well at all. It ended with a big loss in the SEC East and an embarrassing loss to Vanderbilt. Tennessee should never lose to Vanderbilt. In the Volunteers 2012 season coach Derek Dooley took a loss to Vanderbilt and was fired shortly after. They should have fired Butch after his loss to the Commodores , but no they decided to keep him for another year of disappointment. Butch Jones’s 2017 season was a joke resulting in zero SEC conference wins and a non surprising record of 4-8. This was not much a surprise to Vol fans who realized from the start coach Jones was not meant for Division 1 football. All though firing Jones and his staff could cost up to 14 million dollars it would be the best choice for Tennessee Football. This is where the people of Knoxville that care so dearly about Tennessee football come into play. Many local fans have started non-profit Go Fund Me’s. These pages were created to help the University of Tennessee raise money to pay the buyout of Butch Jones and his staff.

In November of 1994, at the discretion of Vanderbilt, Louisiana State University corresponded with DiNardo to recruit him as the head football coach for their team. Upon DiNardo’s acceptance of the position with LSU, Vanderbilt requested liquated damages. DiNardo’s failure to comply led Vanderbilt to file a claim for breach of contract under section 8 for damages; the defendant removed the case to federal court where the proceedings were tried under summary judgment. The district court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, asserting the contracted damages were reasonable and lawful, that the plaintiff had not waived their rights to liquidated damages, and that the contract’s extension was legally binding. DiNardo appealed to the Sixth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals.

If we suffer a loss, UGA uses his wrinkly face and slobbery tongue to bring a smile to the disappointed fans; if we achieve a victory, he is there to celebrate and bring pride to the bulldawg nation. Without even trying, UGA is entertaining. Before every game, fans (including me) wait behind an SUV to see UGA heavily panting in his kennel. Every time, it amazes me that fans are so committed to the university and the sport that they wait to see a dog pant in his kennel and "ooh" and "ahh" while watching, as if they are in the presence of royalty (most bulldog fans would argue that they are). UGA exhibits a balance of hospitality , pride, intimidation most important, loyalty, and his image embodies the character and values of the university, the football team, and the fans that support it

In her memoir, The Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls reflects on her unstable, chaotic, poverty-stricken upbringing at the hands of her profoundly dysfunctional parents. Constantly getting into trouble, being short on food and money, the Walls family frequently tried to escape their issues by moving from one city to the next, as her father Rex refers to it -- “skedaddling”. Despite sounding a little silly, the word “skedaddle” has a rich history, developing overtime into today's meaning -- “ to run away or flee in a hurry”. This cultural idiom finds its origins in late 19th century Britain and Ireland.
