FormerCawoodTrojan

Cawood's coach? What year was this? I don't remember that one...maybe it has slipped my mind.

I don't know about "THE GREATEST COACH EVER", but a very good one indeed.

You beat a good team then...they had some good ball players while Phil was at Cawood. They should have won 2 regional titles while he was there. One was flat out taken. Phil was Vandy's all time leading scorer for some time and I think 3 time All SEC. Really good ball player. I'll post mine without research - just off the top of my head AND from my viewing days. I'm 38, by the way. Arkansas - Todd Day Auburn - Barkley Alabama - D. McKie LSU - Chris Jackson Ole Miss - Glass Miss St. - Varnado UT - Houston Vandy - Phil Cox Florida - Mike Miller South Carolina - BJ McKie Georgia - Wilkins UK - Mashburn

I think the physicality of Harlan Co pushes them to a victory and they remain unbeaten heading in to the match-up with Bell Co.

I'll go Phil Cox

Garcia obviously has issues, but I think this story says much more about Spurrier and the University of South Carolina. The kid has been there for 5 years and been in trouble through most of it...now they decide he needs to go??? SMH, that is ridiculous.

While I agree it is bad right now, I live in TN and I don't think we have to worry about that. At 3-2 with a brutal stretch of games and their starting qb out, the UT fans are giving up on this season.

How did Joker run off Moss? I wish the kid had stayed, but let's be real...he chose to leave and not stay and compete for the job. I don't begrudge him for leaving, but let's not make him out to be the 2nd coming either. I was at the game yesterday and everyone was screaming for Smith to get some action...2 passes and 2 picks. Last year everyone was calling for Newton, gimme a break man. As bad as we are and as bad a job as the coaches are doing, they still are playing the right players.

You don't think Josh Clemmons and Danny Trevathan are SEC caliber talent? If that is the case, you do not know football.

I too was at the game, and I haven't seen an offense play that poorly since UK vs Cincy in the 3-0 game. Horrible.

I expected your post to be the 2nd one.

I love Prime Time, my fave all time player. If I had to go with best all time...I'm going LT. He couldn't be blocked. A maniac on the field.

He showed a picture of his IROC on Twitter the other night, it said IROC. I too heard the IREX stuff too.

I'm fortunate to have become a good friend of his and he has stories for days...and loves to name drop! Haha. I agree 100 percent on who you wouldn't turn your head on. Kudos!

My favorite twitter follow - Coco excluded - and he seems to be about as cool as anyone out there.

I think you missed my point. I saw nothing in Columbia on gameday, and I can assure you I tailgated with the who's who (and USC players after the game) of SC boosters and fans, that was more exciting than Lexington.

I'm not disputing what you are saying, but why South Carolina as the example? Granted, they won the East (UK beat them) last year and have the talent to do so this year (barely beat Navy). Two of my best friends are season ticket holders at SC and they would tell you in honest moments that they don't consider the Cocks to be a top tier team. I went to Columbia two years ago for the UK game and had a blast. I really didn't see it as that big of a difference than Lexington as far as the atmosphere though. Just my opinion.

He also went on to say, the first time he worked Rex out, with UL players when Rex was a frosh in HS he was holding his own. He also said Rex was shown a VERY good time on that trip.

I had lunch with a former college coach that was close to the scene in those days and I have no reason not to believe the things he has told me as he is very well connected. He told me that Rex's parents never saw a thing during his recruitment...but his extended family was given many, many things. Not just from UK. He said he before that or after has never seen two schools shell out as much for a player as UL/UK did for Rex.

Thanks Clyde for posting this video...I'll watch this a few more times I'm sure. I forgot how sweet his leaner was. Kid could score in a variety of ways.

Rex has been my all-time favorite basketball player since I watched him light up Henry Clay in Memorial for 45 points. Rex brought something to the game that I hadn't seen before and even more than that, he brought something to pop culture in Kentucky. The above question about race is certainly a fair question. When Rex was coming up, I was in 7th and 8th grade and every boy on my team had the same hair cut and our coach took #3 off the team. It caused too much trouble. At least in my part of Eastern Kentucky that I grew up in, our school was all white and I do think that caused more mass appeal. Now, that doesn't mean that we didn't have tons of african american players at UK that we loved as we loved them all really. Rex was just different. I have a friend that played at UK during Rex's stay there and he says that what we see on Twitter is Rex being Rex. He says he was an amazing teammate and was hilarious non-stop. One of my favorite Rex twitter moments is when he said Reggie Hanson should be an 'Unforgettable' also.

I agree 100 percent. Toughest job in America to win big at. It isn't going to happen imo.

Not sure what you mean here. The Vols are behind all of those teams or the Vols are 5th in the East, only above Vandy?

I have Comcast and have Red Zone in my package and I LOVE it. This has been a great way to watch football when you live in TN and your games EVERY week are Titans and Falcons.

Yes, he wanted at least the opportunity and UK gave him that. UT, when they started recruiting him late in the process, would not offer him a shot at QB--luckily for UK.
