Written on Dave Hart: Vols 'at a crossroads' :

NOOOOOO Say it ain't so!! Dooley is the best coach in the world!! Sure he lost a couple of games but he was just warming up for next year when he would have won ALL of the games. I just hope that they find another coach like Dooley.

Go Gators! :p

Written on None:

YES the greatest coach in the entire world will remain at UT.....Now we can think about renaming the entire city after him....We can call it Dooleyville instead of Knoxville!!

PS Go Gators! ;P


Dooley is a great coach, they should rename the stadium after him!!

Go Gators!

Written on Labor secretary tours Roane State, touts $12.6 million grant :

Speaking as a person that is actually in the first picture and taking nursing I am glad the money will help schools expand programs to help people find good paying jobs. And by the way Nursing School is HARD!!


Speaking as a Gator Fan......Silly silly UT fans, when will you ever learn?

Written on Horrific attack at Batman screening; 12 dead:

Cant we all just HUG.....then publicly hang the douche bag that did this?

Written on Despite protests, Boy Scouts reaffirm ban on gays:

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but why not just give all the Scout instructors a polygraph and ask if they have ever had sexual thoughts of children. If they haven't then sexual orientation should not matter.

Written on State finds electrical issues at Bean Station marina where boys died :

As far as being checked on a regular basis there are actually VERY few people in the state of Tennessee that are given the duty to do this. One person has to cover several hundred miles of territory and they do what is possible. The state needs more officials so if you are really concerned please call your state representatives to hire more people to regulate and inspect dock safety.

Written on Eureka! Physicists celebrate evidence of particle:

Mr Sci Guy.....If you would please take your superior brain and read my simple request. I was asking for information and not mocking the discovery. I would like more knowledge on the subject and wanted to know if anyone can give me info on how this discovery can help mankind or if it was just a waste of money for curious scientist. Since you only want to automatically cut me down and call me stupid I assume you do not have any information and you are probably a self righteous twit.

Written on Eureka! Physicists celebrate evidence of particle:

Someone please tell me how this discovery makes the world a better place? Will we find a new energy source or feed the hungry? If this will lead to a better world I am all for it. If it is just to sate the curiosity of a few scientist then I think 10 billion could have been better used another way. Hope this discovery does something than make Sheldon happy.

Written on Knox County Commission might revisit sales tax increase :

I very rarely see a officer follow any of the laws of the road. When I see that I will have more respect for the office and would want them to be paid more.

Written on CDC: Motorcycle helmet laws reduce deaths:

I think they should get rid of the helmet law and let people decide for themselves if they want to be safe or not. Make them sign a organ donor paper and when they bash their heads for being stupid someone else can benefit from their organs.
As far as kids they should always be required to wear good helmets when traveling on any motorized two wheel vehicle. No child should pay for a stupid parent.

Written on Man forces cop off road, charged with drunken driving :

They really should make people take IQ test before giving them a driver license.

Written on Blount sheriff: Maryville man busted with mobile meth lab :

If they have "drug free zones" then where are the "zones" that illegal drugs are allowed?


He cannot judge when he is too drunk to drive but he will be allowed to judge whether a rapist or murderer can walk around free in your neighborhood.

Written on 1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed:

in response to amyinsparta:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Just because I am doing it for a decent salary doesn't mean I will not care for the patients the best way I can. I will value the people and make sure they get the best care I can but I do know your concern. No I wasn't "called" to the profession of a nurse but I go to school with many young people that are. They are mostly making B's and C's in their science classes and some are having to take the classes more than once because they are failing out. Would you rather have a nurse with the calling and barely makes it through the sciences or someone that will treat you the same that made A's. I'm not doing nursing for calling. I'm doing nursing because I want to support my family with a decent wage. Just like when I worked for a waste water treatment plant.....I didn't want to work there but I shoveled the poop as good or not better than the rest of them.

Written on 1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed:

Was laid off for a year when working for manufacturing/production for 20 years. Found a job back in manufacturing but greatly underpaid from what I was use too. Decided to go back to school to get a degree in a field that I know I will have a job in the future....Nursing. I really don't want to be a nurse but I'm making straight A's in my science courses to be accepted in nursing. If I could make a good living again I would stay in production but that is not the reality I'm being faced with. I'm getting a degree in nursing because I want a good job and a solid future. Life isn't fair, sometimes your have to make a choice between your dreams or reality.

Written on Battle of Shiloh in West Tennessee awakened country to the cost of war :

If only the South had Chuck Norris we would have won! *sigh*

Written on New video raises doubts about Fla. gunman's story:

If I was Zimmerman I would so be in another country by now. Whether he is guilty or not, after all this press, he will have no luck in getting a fair trial in America.

Written on OR teachers seek pay raise, more days off :

I'm just wondering about the more days they want off....Don't they get the entire summer off to begin with?

Written on Local group trying to raise awareness of sex trafficking :

People that do this to children should really be strung up.

Written on Maryville father charged in shooting death of son :

I hate stupid people.


Weird is interesting to people and the label will draw more visitors to the area.

Written on UT study debunks electric cars' zero-emission ads :

Does anyone take into account what it takes to make a electric car? As for the Prius they mine the zinc used for the batteries in Canada....ship that to Norway for further construction of the batteries then fly it to Japan for final assembly. And that is not even taking into account the pollution that just about all mines have on the surrounding environment.

Written on Libertarians push helmet law repeal:

I fully support him in getting rid of the helmet law. Too many good organs are going to waste in idiots that think their skulls are the only thing they need to protect them. Why not let other people have use of their organs!! The more people not wearing helmets and bringing down the gene pool the more people that will have their lives saved by receiving a good kidney or heart.

Written on Knoxville Museum of Art opens "Liquid Light" exhibit Jan. 27 :

Yes I do know that the art museum does not sell what they display. What I am saying is that they mostly display JUNK I wouldn't take home if it was even free. The Art Market actually has better art on display than the actual museum. Go to the museum in Chattanooga to compare museums and see how bad ours is.


I have tried over the years after moving to Knoxville to like the Knoxville Art Museum. Sadly I have always found the Art Market contains much better works. If I get a chance I will visit the museum again and see if they are any better yet.

Written on Police seek Western Avenue bank robber :

Now I know why the cops were in my area. I live a couple streets down from the bank.

Written on Authorities seize marijuana and moonshine in Cocke County :

In a related story the authorities later raided a potato chip distribution center taking truck loads of snacks in what they called a ongoing investigation of "chip forgeries".


It doesn't matter whether they make it legal or not to drink in their rooms. If they want to do it they will do it no matter what. And if government actually thinks it will stop homelessness in Knoxville they are living in a delusional world. The homeless problem has been around since man invented the home.

Written on Hiroshima protests go quietly at Y-12 :

Remember why the bombs were dropped? The Japanese committed horrible atrocities against the Chinese, Philippino's, Koreans and other countries around them. America did try to slow them down when they attacked Pearl Harbor. This war had to stop and stop quickly. After the first bomb we gave them the chance to surrender....they refused thinking we didn't have another bomb. They were wrong. Japan started the fight and America finished it. Just proves you shouldn't write a check with your mouth if your bum cant cash it.

Written on Knox County among school systems closed Tuesday because of weather:

Knoxville Montessori School will NOT be closed Tuesday. They will be open. If your child attends this school please check your text messages or email. The KMS web site has the details.

Written on Woman allegedly stole man's life savings :

This morning I checked how much I have saved up and found out I have enough to live the rest of my life on.......if I died yesterday.

Written on Rocky Hill's RouXbarbeque has closed:

Beside famous daves what is a good BBQ place in the Knoxville area?

Written on Social Security facing shortfall :

And these are the same people that are going to run our health-care.....HAHAHAHA

Written on Ten firms to make $10M each from first phase of ash spill cleanup :

TVA is going to make the customers pay. They made a mistake and I will pay for a portion of that mistake. No getting away from it that I understand. What I would like to see is that TVA do something to punish those responsible. As far as TVA has said there have been no firings over this matter and I cannot believe that its just an accident and oh well. There was a lack of proper management and people need to be booted.

Written on Sheriff raids biker gang house: Authorities serve warrants on Outlaws, two arrested :

I think its wonderful that bikers are eating a healthier diet of vegetable plates. They must be watching Dr Oz or Oprah

Written on Law will strengthen ’Crooks with Guns’ legislation:

If you try to kill someone or rob someone with a gun why not just give them the option of either serving the additional time to have the index finger removed

Written on Budget cut may affect Tennessee Highway Patrol :

Why is it every time the government has a budget cut the services that protect and save lives are the first to go? One would think that they would target government luxuries. But to be fair I would hate to know the governor had to drive himself to work or to actually get his own cup of coffee. So glad our lives can pay for the several million dollar renovations he did to his governors residence.

Written on The coal ash spill catastrophe in Kingston - One year later:

Has anyone at TVA been laid off for this? Nope
Has anyone at TVA even been disciplined? Last TVA said about it. Nope
Is TVA going to dip into their profits to pay for this? Heck No
Who is going to pay for TVA's mistake.....OHHH Yea.....The customers are.

Written on President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize :

So he got the peace prize for things he hasn't done but what he might do? Nice.....since i have been laid off since January and haven't worked but have thought about it every day do i get a paycheck and back pay for all the thinking about work i did?

Written on Gun permit holders put safety above all:

Oh and GREAT website CJ.....Here's a web site that says the earth is flat....I guess we should believe it since they are on the internet too.

Written on Gun permit holders put safety above all:

For 30 years guns were completely banned in D.C. and it was the murder capital of America. Boy, gun control really worked for them didn't it?
