GoVols.com is reporting Justin Hunter is entering the NFL. I'm not shocked about him. I wish he would stay and I think he should stay (he had a LOT of bad dropped passes this season), but I'm not shocked. I hope he does well.

CP hasn't stated whether he is staying or going. I hope he stays and think he should. Althogh with his tremendous athleticism, he will probalby do well. Heck, if nothing else, he could easily be the best punt/kick off returner in the NFL.

Bray hasn't stated if he is leaving either. However, I anticipate he will and I hope he does. Get his sorry @ss out of here. I've seen enough of his attitude. Time to get Worley going.

The good news is it appears everyone else is staying. There were some question marks on some important linemen. They have stated they are staying. Excellent.

The bad news: it appears to be official in regards to CPatterson. He is going to the NFL.

The good news: this just about guarantees Bray is leaving. Darn.

According to Hubbs it was because of academic issues specific to Tennessee that other SEC schools don't have to deal with.

"We do believe that Patterson, perhaps more so than the others, gave long consideration to exploring a return to the Vols. He attended classes late in the semester and tried to accomplish some things academically. There was chatter that the potential need to accumulate a significant number of hours in the spring and summer sessions --- perhaps as many as 26 more credit hours in order to have eligibility next season --- was a factor in Patterson's decision. It was a situation that was indicated to us wasn't simply about progress towards degree, which affects all programs, but also because of academic structures specific to Tennessee."

So I witnessed this today. I can't imagine the mindset of some folks.

I am on a 4 lane highway, speed limit is 55. I am in the fast lane, cruise control set. A vehicle is going below the speed limit but faster than the car in the right lane. I come up behind him and instead of speeding up or moving over he continues to pace himself with the car on the right, intentionally blocking traffic. I see him using his mirror to do this. Doesn't bother me, I am in no hurry so I follow behind him. He does this for 6 miles or more, piling up 15 or so cars behind him that he just will not let through. Then as we get closer to town a car pulls out in front of the car in the right lane and they have to hit their brakes. I see him try to check up to keep beside the car but he isn't able to hit his brakes hard enough and I get a big enough window to go into the right lane to pass him. He floors it. I don't care I have a clear lane but the silver truck behind me was clearly pissed (rightfully so that prick held everyone up intentionally). He tried to pass him but he wouldn't let him and they got up around 80 or so. Then when the prick gets close to another car in the right lane he locks it up and stays beside him keeping the silver truck behind him.

So what is the mentality of someone like that? I am going to intentionally try to hinder peope from getting to where they are going? Why, what does it benifit them?

Heck on that one if the guy in the silver truck would have pulled a road rage and beat the crap out of the prick that was doing that I would have kept people from breaking it up LOL.

I just don't understand people like that.

The prick driver couldn't cut it at UT so he was headed to ETSU.

I just don't get it. I don't understand what mentality does that or any rationale behind it. I have seen this several times after moving to this area. I can think of 3 or 4 times off the top of my head where someobody did that, just intentionally blocked traffic. This guy was the worst but the other times I saw it they were very obvious about it, just didn't do it as long.

But I just don't understand what they would get out of it?

Is it a game in the area? (Warren county).

Warren county has some of the worse drivers around no doubt. They will drive side by side on the four lane. Heading toward Woodbury, they will drive slow when you can't pass and then speed up when you can. They will pull right out in front of you when they can see you're the only car on the road and then drive 5 mph less that the speed limit. What really drives me carzy are the ones that drive 53. If you can drive 53 you can fucking drive 55. Turn signals? Forget about it. They won't turn right on red and if they are in a left turn lane and have the green light instead of the arrow, they just sit and wait till they do. I can feel hy heart beating in my temples every time I go up town.

I think hedge was referring to this Rat Patrol not the Jungle Rat that patrols: http://www.trading-cards.org/Cards-N-R/Rat-Patrol.php
