Live @ Lambert Acres: Stephen Coleman Memorial Golf Tournament
 Posted: Thursday, June 6th, 2013, 1:01 PM 'Hello loyal Basilio listeners and blog readers. It's good to be back with you again. It's been a few weeks since we last spoke and this time I’m back with mostly good news. Let's get down to it. Marlin Lane is back in good graces with Coach Jones and is officially back on the football team. Marlin has a chance to do some big things on the football field for us this year and should be a great fit in this new offense. Marlin is a kid who's yet to live up to his potential on the field or in the classroom since arriving on campus, but if anyone is going to get this kid motivated and back on track it's Coach Butch Jones. I'm told Marlin fully understands what Coach Jones expects of him and he's more than ready to be the best that he can be. Josh Dobbs has been in Knoxville just over a week now and I’m told he's everything we've been told he is, to quote a former player "He's the kind of kid you'd want your daughter to marry" He's been here roughly 8 or 9 days and has already involved himself in church and in the community. Folks, this young man is special. He's one of the brightest young men you'd ever hope to run across.  It's been said he learned his high school playbook in one day. I know its high school, but one day ! I can't wait to see this kid in the orange folks, i do believe we have a special young man here, the kind of kid who doesn't come around that often. How about this recruiting class, doesn't it feel good have a top recruiting class in the country? Let's face it, if you are going to beat the Alabama's and the other elite's in this conference on the field, you have to beat them in the living rooms. Winning football has always been about players. True, you have to have capable coaches on Saturday, but you have to have the players. Coach Jones and staff have done a tremendous job on the recruiting front and i don't see this freight train slowing down. I fully believe Dillon Bates will be coming on board this summer and a slew of top notch talent will be getting on board this fall including the Berry Twins, Evan and Elliot. Well Folks, till we meet again, have a blessed week and Go Big Orange ! Your Vol Colonel'
  NFL HOF player Lem Barney. 'I'm sure head injuries from football played a part in Deacon Jones death. Link Oh man. Gator fans will freak if Tebow goes and coaches with one of college football’s true bad guy coaches in Urban Meyer. This would be comical. And could you imagine Tebow in a living room? The guy would have parents eating out of his hands. Link  Enter Tony in the Promotion Code box and get a discount on your umbrella! When you're smoking hot like the Braves, you can afford to arrest a guy outside yours stadium for playing his trombone. That would have been comical to see. Link Orioles Chris Davis is smokin' too. 20 homeruns and 20 doubles in 58 games. That's quicker than anyone in the games history! Link A fraud had his chance. If he pays his supplier off, MLB never gets to Bosch. This is rich. A Fraud is not only a cheat, he's an idiot. I wonder if he would pay the man if given another opportunity. As far as I'm concerned, all of these people deserve each other. Link  Call now for an appointment! If you've watched White Sox broadcaster Hawk Harrelson before you know he's one of the biggest sheep in the booth anywhere. And this is exactly how I want my hometown broadcasters to be. Hometown voices should be prepared, poignant and partisan. And a little personality doesn't hurt. Check out this clip of Hawk as he gives the Mariners 45 seconds of the silent treatment after a grand slam. Link Map of Recent Visitors @TonyBasilio.com  Map data ©2013 Google, INEGI, MapLink - Terms of Use So Notre Dame gets a kid from USC who's eligible immediately (Link), but they can't return the favor to one of their own (link). Been a rough stretch for the folks at the NCAA in their enforcement division. Now, one of their own says it's pretty shoddy on the inside. This is interesting. Link I'll take the Spurs in 7. How about you? On the way out Please don't forget.... I’ve got a twosome up for bid for next Monday, June 10th. Would you like to play with me and my son Anthony in the Boys & Girls Club golf tourney at Beaverbrook CC in Halls? We would love to have you. Send in a bid. Also, Al Brown…Yes Al Brown is also playing and captaining a team and I have three spots available if you would like to play with Coach Brown and hear some great stories! And you get to see that swing of Coach Brown's that I call chiroswing. If I swung a club like that I'd be on an inversion table by day’s end. Please bid. I'm concerned about how little response we've had so far for all of this. Love ya. Going to be a lot of fun indeed! So, get your bids in by e-mailing me and we will have a super time next week and help out a great organization in the process. And thanks to Steve Forbes for appearing on the show. EVERYTIME I talk to that guy on the radio I learn something new. He's intelligent, well rounded and always interesting! Thanks coach Forbes! Hope your Thursday is special. TB | |||||||||

Live Wednesday @ Calhoun's Marina Lenoir City
Posted: Wednesday, June 5th, 2013, 9:11 AM The Deal With Me: I'm boring. So I'm not going to spend too much time on my situation. But I have to control the conversation. I was called Sunday afternoon and told out of the blue that I will no longer be able to purchase time on 1180 in Knoxville thus ending my association with them as of Friday July 12th. What I said yesterday on the air I will repeat right here. Jason Bailey can do with his station what he will. I disagree with his decision to do this as I was on that station for going on 9 years and enjoyed a tremendous following there in the mid day. But he's free to do with his station what he feels is best. I wish him nothing but the best. I hope my successor there has a great run. I hear it's Dave Hooker which is interesting as I started him in the business all those years ago. Time flies. What I want at this time is your prayers and your consideration as I try to digest what has gone down here. What I don't want is that you throw venom at Jason and TSR. It's his deal. Let it go. I already have. This too shall pass. And God is Great! Between now and then I will sit back and wait to see what comes my way. If nothing does, I'll take some time off a regroup. I've got a bunch of stuff I'm currently working on concerning syndicating my show across the state. If you're interested in considering being an affiliate, get in touch and perhaps we can do business. As always to my always loyal audience I say much love and Go Vols.....This too shall pass...

So, get your bids in by e-mailing me and we will have a super time next week and help out a great organization in the process. Call now for an appointment! I see where former UT OC and QB Randy Sanders is linked to the HC opening at ETSU. Phillip Fulmer is a loyal guy. And you know he has some say so in this process as they ramp up that program once again. Sanders would be an interesting choice as he is a very good recruiter with many ties in this region. Ryan Braun was flat out giddy when he got off on a technicality. But you just knew MLB wasn't going to let him get off and besmirch them. They are cleaning the game up and it's made baseball a better, more compelling, lower scoring game that it was meant to be in the past 4 years. The game is better now because it's being played the way it was created to be. And Braun? Here's a replay of his smugness. Link Tip of the cap to this creative diss from this five star player on the Tide! This is classic stuff right here. Never seen this before. You could urinate a fan base off with this kind of non-sense. Link   TB | |||||||||

Call now for an appointment! Former Vol great Donte Stallworth has the shot here. And he's right. The Lady Vols were this close to ending the game. She's out at third. But she was called safe. This hurts. Link #1 North Carolina and FAU played an all time classic last night in the regional final. UNC overcame a blown call in the process of getting past an opponent who just wouldn't quit. Carolina moves on and will host South Carolina in a Super Regional. Link No. You can't make this up. Link Please don't forget.... I’ve got a twosome up for bid for next Monday, June 10th.

Thanks for the kind words and well wishes. Yawl are the best. I even love my haters! What a life. TB | |||||||||
