On a program level, I hate UTe. Even more than I dislike the barn.
Those guys tried to sink us, and with the help of a lot of people I'll neither forget nor forgive, they dang near did it. I hope that program wallows in a mess of its own making for decades. So I hope we stomp a mudhole in them Saturday, then fill it in just so we can stomp another one.
As far as Butch Jones, I kind of feel for him. I don't think he's a bad guy. He's overmatched, and not exactly a candidate for Mensa, and tends to think in bumper sticker phrases. But he'll have a goodbye kiss of several million dollars, on top of the millions he's already been paid, to make it all better. So while I take no joy in seeing a decent man come up short, I also cry no tears for Jones.
But for all I care, the UTe program can burn down to the ground. I'll come in behind the fire and plow rock salt into the scorched earth, having bought the salt and the plows with my own money.
