A new feature here on Rocky Top Talk: Distillation & Distribution. There are a lot of stories every day that Joel and I would like to comment on, but time prohibits. This feature is a way of pointing out the best of what's around the tubes on any given day, the things that Joel and I wouldn't otherwise get to mention and things that might have slipped through the cracks the first time around.

UT whatnot:
-
UT declares signee McKenzie ineligible after violation($)
- Don't worry, the KNS is just being sensational with their headline. Nevin's sister is his guardian, but not his legal guardian, so UT paying for her accommodations on Nevin's official visit was a violation (a similar situation happened with Jacques McClendon as a frosh). McKenzie will be eligible in the fall.
