“We believe we have put together another challenging non-conference schedule that will prepare us for the rigors of the Southeastern Conference.

“He’s going to be a big, big help for me. He’s constantly interjecting things, ‘Hey, this is the way we’ve done it before.’ Not in an overbearing way, just as a good source who has done some of these things.” — Offensive coordinator Jimmy Kiser on new offensive line coach Herb Hand, who directed two top-ranked offenses at Tulsa (Source: The Tennessean)

RANDOM VIDEOS OF THE DAY
Yesterday marked the first day of school for children in Metro Nashville Public Schools. If you’re in the third grade, take Billy’s advice and “cherish it.”
Also, EW.com reported that former 90210 star Brian Austin Green (who recently married actress Megan Fox) will appear on the new season of Desperate Housewives. Yes, that means it’s the perfect time to post this classic video. You knew David Silvers’ “Be My Love” would be radio gold when it got James Eckhouse’s nod of approval at the 1:02 mark.
