Derek Dooley Still Shaping It Down, This Time To The Tune Of $9M

Derek Dooley's review of the plans for the McKenzie Lawson Athletic Center Addition resulted in him requesting adjustments to the location, size, and shape (yes, he's still shaping it down) of the weight room, which increased the cost of the project more than 20% or $9M. I wonder what shape it was and what shape it's going to be now? Your thoughts go below.
Vols in the Fall hopes that the romantic first down sticks and chain are never replaced by cold, unfeeling electronic doohickeys.

Georgia has reported 14 secondary violations this year. Hey, isn't that like a lot or something? You know, something to be outraged over?

Bennie Wylie, UT's new strength coach, is, according to Dooley via Nick Reveiz, "the guy we want getting off the bus first, people thinking that he's playing." Wylie puts himself through the same workouts he demands of his players.

Another day, another Georgia commitment for Derek Dooley, this one from defensive back Justin Coleman (5'11", 175, three-stars, per Rivals). Dude liked Tennessee's tradition and "the Rocky Top song." Well, then come on down, Mr. Coleman. Thumper's got 36 versions for you.
