Wayne Chism was there, I know he remembers. He will certainly be looking for more than 6 points and 19 points this time, regardless of the opponent. I was there too, and if I can find affordable tickets I will be there again.

Chism was there, I know it will be on his mind. He will certainly be looking to do better than 6 points in 19 minutes playing. I was there too, and if I can find cheap tickets I will be there again.

Re: TNJN - McDougal's closes its doors

That didn't take long. McDougal's had the misfortune of entering an already saturated chicken joint market on campus with too few offerings to compensate for their higher prices. The restaurant it replaced was Sawyer's, a place that personally had better food at a cheaper price. In short, they were doomed from the beginning.

Re: TNJN - Toyota develops fix for recalled vehicles, no timetable set

Would this be possible with multiple companies responsible for the pedal assemblies? It is now understood that at least two parts manufacturers are responsible for the pedal assemblies of the 7.5 million vehicles recalled worldwide, strengthening CTS's claim that its parts are not to blame. I'm not certain if it is a 3 wire TPS unit, but there is speculation that there may be a glitch in the ECU. Perhaps the short you hypothesize is happening closer to the engine and not in the pedal assembly.

Guess that 42-21 prediction wasn't so outlandish after all

ERIC BERRY! Again Tennessee's defense does its job. It's up to the offense now...

This is what I both love and hate about Tennessee-Bama games. Defenses play key roles in each game, but field goals are boring on a highlight reels. Tennessee needs to stop leaving points on the field.

I remember that loss. It brings back bad memories even today.

Jimmy has said that he values student input, not just in the press releases but also during the Chancellor search process, so I imagine he would not be opposed to opening as many channels as possible between students and himself.

The reason it's cheaper for in-state students versus out-of-state students is that for the most part the families of in-state students have been paying state taxes for a number of years, with some of those tax dollars going to education. Essentially you're paying for part of your education in advance, while out-of-state students are coming here to take advantage of academic programs that have taken years if not decades of funding (state and otherwise) to put together.

Parking seems to be a concern every semester. There are currently more registered students at the University of Tennessee than there are student parking spaces on campus. The university has no problem issuing parking passes to each of those students, even though there is physically not enough space for them all to legally park. I noticed that some steps have been made to alleviate this problem. I am currently living at Clement Hall, where I have not lived since the spring of 2004, and I noticed in the adjacent parking garage the lower level is now student parking (when I last resided at Clement Hall these spaces were faculty/staff spaces only). Perhaps more faculty/staff spaces could be switched over to student parking, because creating more parking spaces (i.e. parking lots or garages) is not currently possible given the state's financial constraints.
