David McAvoy Ok folks, when there are fire trucks or other emergency vehicles around, please don't stand behind them, they can't see you... we got video of a man getting backed into by a fire truck in Unicoi County yesterday while he was standing there watching them work a church fire

Here’s another reason why you should steer clear of emergency crews while they’re working.

I'm glad the man was not hurt, but this is a prime example of why nobody but Emergency Services personnel should be allowed on a fire scene or any other emergency situation. I've actually seen people try to enter a burning building to retrieve a pocket book or picture while the firefighters are working to put out the fire! Not only did they put ... See Moretheir own selves in danger but they were also putting the firefighters in danger. If you are not emergency services personnel please stay off of the scene and out of the way, for your own safety as well as the safety of others and let the TRAINED personnel do their jobs!!!

still seems a lot up in the air. Surprised that Outback would think of chosing Auburn. V Tech would be a pretty good opponent for the Vols.

David McAvoy Statement from coach Lane Kiffin: “As I’ve said before, we wanted to take our time to get all the information regarding this situation. These were very serious allegations, and we had to make sure we handled this properly. After an extensive and thorough investigation by the Knoxville Police Department and the Distri...ct Attorney’s office, they have cleared Janzen of any wrong doing and determined he had no prior knowledge of this incident. Janzen will join team activities today. We hold our student-athletes to an extremely high standard on and off the field. Janzen has seen the effect personal decisions had on his former teammates and is excited to rejoin our team activities.”

Janzen Jackson deserves a second chance. I hope that he has learned from his mistakes. Go Vols !!!!
