Still didn't make the pain any less. I'm over it. We have a better guy now anyway.

I attended the UT-Ole Miss basketball game last week the day after Dooley was announced. He was introduced to the UT faithful for the first time at that game. He walked out onto the court with his very young kids and the crowd went wild. Its going to be a breath of fresh air I think.
The conversations I overheard were mostly about how glad people were to get rid of Kiffin. Some of that was certainly sour grapes but there was a genuine sense that Kiffin was a Hollywood pretty boy type that didn't really fit in Knoxville. He belongs in L.A.
