OT: UT's "multi-level thunderdome of power" with MMA ring included
It is pretty rare that I would post on another school's football facility, however Mr. Dooley at Tennessee did catch my eye with his "multi-level thunderdome of power" description, including the fact it has a MMA ring. Dooley seems to have jumped the shark, the boat pulling him and landed somewhere on land with that comment.
Tennessee football players should thank God that Barwis is not their S&C coach since I imagine things would get scary. I am all for wow factor, I just don't see the wisdom of giving young and very large individuals who often possess a bit of mean streak along with their competitiveness (I mean, they play football) access to a fighting ring. Well now that I think of it, might be good for Sparty to cut down on student beatdowns by channeling that energy internally. Hollis will probably be raising money for one next week.

Well, at least there's no way this could ever end badly.

When he was hired I said "good for the little guy" now I'm all like: Dooley really has let this SEC thing get to his head.

"We had, I told them, the worst shower discipline of any team I've ever been around," Dooley told the media during his first season. "So we talked a little bit about application of soap to the rag and making sure you hit all your body."
Someone please run with this quote... statements taken out of context are my favorite.
I wonder if he's going to call Sandusky for shower strategy and formations.

Is there a reason you stick around here? You've been banned, what, twice? You make stupid, trolling remarks and it's pretty obvious by looking at your karma and people's responses to your posts that everyone realizes that's all you're doing.
At most, you're a minor annoyance, but you should probably not be making shower jokes about Jerry Sandusky.

ChillChet is Jerry Sandusky.
I can't believe nobody else has figured that out yet.

Honestly, I've had other suspicions about who he is, come to think of it. His old account especially, I was pretty sure he was another posters "alter-ego" or whatever the hell people with more than one account call something.

Until the longhorns snagged him, UT had imo the best S&C guy in CFB, Bennie Wylie.

In his defense, the building looks amazing. It's right by the stadium, and near the river, and is really starting to look intimidating. "Thunderdome" is a fiiting name.
The MMA thing will get old fast. MMA is big on campus, as is boxing, but this will just cause more problems than it's worth.
He's coming to the law school to speak in a couple weeks. I can't wait to ask him about this.

Can the student body MMA club use the cage for their own practices?

MSU would struggle to raise the money for this...
