According to famous singer/songwriter Jim Croce, there are four things one needs to avoid in order to live a long life: tugging on Superman's cape, spitting into the wind, pulling on the mask of the Lone Ranger, or messing around with Jim.

Following a week of criticism from so-called “experts” and traitorous fans (I’m looking at you Clay Travis), Coach Derek Dooley sent a clear message to the 92,000 strong, on-hand Saturday night at Neyland, that he can turn “it” on at anytime he chooses.
