FIRE KIFFIN!

What was he thinking? They could have thrown 2 more passes after the completion. That may have given Lincoln a kick he could handle. Why would you try a run and then stand and watch 20 seconds tick away? You do that when you have a kicker. I feel sorry for the rest of the team. They did everything else right. Kiffin gave the game away. We should give him away.

new coach

Its time for kiffen to go. We should have never gotten rid of Fulmer. With him we could at least get a win in the sec. We are being coached and playing like the acc. I blame kiffen lets see him goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bye bye.

Lord, Please send us a Quartback for next year.

It's so disappointing week after week to see the dismal performance of one individual cost us the game. I hope that we will get a quality QB for the future of the Big Orange Program.

What it feels like to be a VOL!

You know how fanatical gator fans are now that they are on top? The excitement, the energy, and the support that appeared to the University of Florida once Tim Tebow came along and they won a national championship or two? Well that's what it's like to be a Tennessee fan ALL the time. Come hell or high water, a W or a loss, our blood never stops bleeding orange, and our support and passion for the University of Tennessee never waivers. You’re born with a Power T shirt on, innately knowing the lyr…

The Josh McNeil Story

I always hate reading about athletes with a potential future losing it all because of some dumb knee injury, but this story is pretty crazy. Man has heart that's forsure.

How you play through something like that is beyond me. Then again, I'm not an athlete of his caliber.

i really don't want to get to excited yet. we still won't know what kind of coaching staff or team we have until they start playing. all the players that have left concern me but maybe that was good thing and i don't want to get too up or down. all of this would not be an issue if trooper taylor had been given the oc job, not that i think he was more qualified than anyone else but no radical changes would have been made and he is a players coach and that might have gotten up a couple of wins mor…

Old UT game photos

wish NS had continued putting in old game photos from Cafego to 1970's--we don't see near enough--brings back vivid memories of my first UT game (Ole Miss in 1962)---Tennessean has put in photos from old 1950's and 60's games from vandy--it just stirs the memories from those eras with single bar face masks and actual dirt on uni's.--good to see old legends in play again

A great UT FAN thinking on his feet (quoted joke from my brother Chris) you can share with all your FL friends....

-One foggy night, a Tennessee fan and a Florida fan were driving the opposite directions on a road near Knoxville. While crossing a narrow bridge, they hit each other head-on, mangling both cars.
The Florida fan manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He looks at his twisted car and says, "Man, I'm lucky to be alive!"
Likewise, the Volunteer fan gets out of

Its time to bring the football team back into the top 20

Yes , I have been spoiled as a Volunteer fan. My first year following the VOLS was the 1997 season and we drove down to Georgia Dome and watched them win the SEC Championship game. It was a great atmosphere and a close game. The next season was highlighted by a dramatic victory over the Gators and I to joined several thousand happy fans and rushed on to field. Then a few months later we were at Tempe and watched them beat FSU to win the first BCS championship game. The seasons 1999-2001 were goo…

A Year of Expectations and Questions.

I have been a Vol fan for a long time and unless age has effected my memory, it seems expectations are higher as well as questions.
The saying good-bye to a coach who has done so much for UT in a manner some thought unbecoming of the University of Tennessee.
The hoopla surrounding the new head coach and staff that was assembled with highly skilled and talented people.
A recruiting process that resembled a circus at times and in the end produced results that surprised everyone except…

Tennessee-Mississippi State (SEC Championship)

Okay, I just got done watching the Vols play MSU for the SEC Championship. What a load of crap!!! Especially in the final 10 seconds! First of all, why wasn't the timeout allowed for instead of the 5-second call? And how did Chism foul without even touching him??? It's all just a load of crap. I'm not blaming the officiating entirely. We definitely could've played a lot better. But it DID have a HUGE effect on the game.

Lane Kiffin not ready for prime time in the SEC

What is the biggest upset in sports history?

Was it Joe Namath leading the New York Jets over the Baltimore Colts 40 years ago in Super Bowl III (after guaranteeing the win)? The Colts were favored by 18. Or what about the "Miracle on Ice" with the USA men's hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics? Could it be Buster Douglas, a 40-to-1 underdog, shocking Mike Tyson to win the heavyweight boxing crown?

Or could it possibly be the vindication of Al Davis,…

Fulmer

Fulmer should not have been fired...he made a poor decision on hiring his assistants all of them seem to be from north of tennessee..it is difficult to recriut the big strong southern guys if they do not relat to the coaches..now we need a big name southern coach with the same as assistant coaches..this has hurt our recruiting for years to come...it will take a miracle for us to recover...it has also hurt the other sports...namely womens basketball...

Is this Starkville or Knoxville?

I've have beem blown away by the reaction to Coach Fulmers (forced) resignation. I have been most surprised by the "end of the world" attitude taken by most fans. I have been a long time proponent for a change in the head coaching job at UT. I would like say I do respect Coach Fulmer as a man and a coach and have never pulled against him. However I do feel like too many people are acting like UT football died Monday afternoon. I do feel strongly that Coach Fulmer did alot for this program and…

END OF AN ERA

Well yesterday afternoon Coach Fulmer resigned, (under extreme pressure). I do feel sorry for Coach Fulmer after all he has been The University Of Tennessee Football for years. It has been his life, he has given his all to his players, his staff, his school. Did I feel like we needed a change? Yes something needed changing but I dont know if it needed to be that drastic. I for one really hated losing Trooper Taylor, I loved his passion and excitement for the game. I was afraid that losing him wo…

Firing the real problem, and look to next year.....With that great recruiting class!

Most, and I do mean most universities, choose coaches. They have the final word on all hiring situations. I know that Fulmer interviewed him and he probably had a soft spot for Clawson. I also realize that he would not have reccommended Clawson for the job if the sparkle of the spread didn’t look good on paper. I know they had others in the pipeline that were interviewed and went with Clawson. I think it was a bad hire. If Mr. Hamilton is putting all the blame on CPF, I would hope he goes back t…

I Have A Request For You, Coach

Also posted at Two-Out Rally

OK it's "some requests". And no, it's not what you think...

1) Please tell Jonathon Crompton to shut up and stop talking to the media. Now. This kids mouth is as dangerous as a hand-off at the goal line. Either goal line. He is simply making things worse.

2) Consider a media ban for yourself and Coach Clawson. Both of you are only alienating the fans with comments that indicate a lack of r…

More Disappointment

Well Auburn was nice, probably my favorite place to visit for a good old fashioned football game. It was a really good game at that. I don't know what is really wrong with the offense, the defense played a really good game. I feel sorry for Crompton because I know the young man is not playing poorly on purpose, I just don't know what is wrong. It appears that even in warming up that he tends to throw behind his receivers, so is he thinking about everything else too much or what? Our team can not…

I am going to my first UT game of the year in Knoxville this weekend (N. Illinois). I don't expect UT to go out and blow their doors off, although it would be nice. I do, however, think this game at this time is a huge blessing. In some ways it's better than an off week because we have an opportunity to test and prepare a new QB in game situations and in front of a crowd against an inferior opponent. That is be…

Defence doing good but needs to get better

The defence can be on of the best in the SEC, but the weak arm tackles and shallow angles to a tackle are getting old. Ive seen junior colleges tackle better. over all they did ok but they need to work on the tackles.

Crompton needs to go

Crompton couldnt hit the broad side of a barn with a canon. I think Tennessee has finally found a quarterback worse than Clausen. over throwing the ball the whole game and missing WIDE open men downfield, its time to sit the boy down and let him focus on what he does best.....get the rest of the good players water.

The notion that you need to fly all over the place to be successful is false There is plenty of In State talent. Keep the home boyshere and success abounds. Todays ridiculous salaries make it more fun to travel to California and elsewhere than to visit Whitwell or Grundy County.

The Bruce Pearl Revival, Football-Style

I'm sure people all over the college football universe are wondering what Coach Cut was drinking thinking when he took the Duke job. That's the Duke football job. I know he was fired up to go out and prove he can do it again, that his relative success at Ole Miss was not a fluke. But, c'mon Cut, DUKE?

Announcer

My favorite sports announcer of all time has to be Pat Ryan. I thought he and Mike Keith were incredible together. My least favorite is anyone that is calling a Tennessee game, football, basketball or women's basketball. It is hard to listen to an announcer when the Vols are losing and you have to hear about how great the other team is. It would be nice to have the politically incorrect vol network that could feed my homer cravings.

Free Throws

It's still early in the season....come on Bruce...put a mental coach on your staff...he or she will teach the guys how to get in the zone where they can make free throws with their eyes shut!!!! It works for golfers, believe me it will work for free throws...

Low grade for new UT staffers

Losing Trooper & Cut really came back to bite us yesterday as our 08 recruits signed LOI. Clawson and the Richmond gang certainly didn't pay any dividends, nor did the new RB coach, Drayton. Did these guys not establish relationships with any potential recruits from the states of VA or FL? I would have expected the possibility that one these prior relationships might have netted us a couple nice recruits.
I was underwhelmed with the Clawson hire anyway. Unless you're hiring a proven com…

Crazy talk about recruiting ?!

I have heard alot of the talking heads around town say recruiting and their rankings are overrated. I could not disagree more recruiting is the life blood of any sucessful SEC program. I do agree that rankings can be misleading but to be ranked 7th or 8th in the SEC and most importantly behind Florida or Georgia is in my mind cause for very serious concern. Not only are we not beating the other big

Offensive Coordinator

I would like to see UT go outside for a new coordinator. Trooper has done an excellant job with the positions he has coach but I feel does not have the over all experience for the head coordinators position. Having just returned from the Divison 1AA Championship game in Chattanooga Friday night I would like to see an offense similar to Appy State. Who could argue with there success. Three striaght championships and the QB has two more years.

IT DONT MEAN A THING IF YOU DONT GET THE RING

As i watched this season i have been up and down. And while we are this morning ,with a chance to play in Atlanta. For me this has been a depressing year.Lets look at the facts please. Tennessee is no longer a football power. We are somewhere between average and bad. Never Great .I ask WHY?? Recruiting is no longer a strenth for Phill and the boys.Alabama is once again walking in to our state a cherry picking the best we have. And Has anyone ever seen as many empty seats in the last three games…

History in the Making

To All Big Orange Fans:

It's time to put our differences aside, come down out of the sports media "anti-Vol" haze and rally behind our Team. I urge each and every one of you to find a ticket, even if it's from a scalper, and come to the game. Be as loud as you can and be a part of the most historic run to the SEC Championship Game in history! We are undefeated at home this year and the Vols need our help to keep it going! The KAT shuttles are an easy way to get to the game and…

Please don't fire Phil

From the opening kick, to the fourth and one multiple shift that drew UT offsides, Saban outcoached the Tennessee staff so thoroughly that it almost seemed as if he was toying with the Vols. But, in all honesty I will have to say that atleast your band was pretty good. Unless you change coaches we will own you and you know it......Roll Tide!

It's Time for a change

The Alabama game today was pitiful. It is obvious the players were not ready to play. I am tired of mediocre football. Ever since 2001, we haven't had a consistent team. We play a great game, then a good game, then a bad game. This seems to be the norm the last 6 years. The whole coaching staff needs to go from the top down. The players do not seem to be motivated to play with fire in their belly week end and week out. If Neyland were alive he would be ashamed of the way the progr…

On the road to recovery?

Well we scored a offensive TD, thats a start. The strength of scedual gives ND no chance however to win in the near future. Purdue is ND's next opponent, Purdue's passing attack will light up the Irish next Saturday. I have to admit I was at work yesterday and didnt' get to watch the game, but highlights show that ND had no chance vs MSU. The Game plan for the rest of the season for the Irish should be RUN RUN RUN, only pass on 2nd down plays (PA pass), a positive 2 yard run looks better than a…

Can we stop the bleeding?

ND has to focus on running the ball this weekend to have any chance vs Michigan State. Hopfully if ND runs the ball 35-40x the game will be low scoring and give ND a chance to win by a last second FG or somthing strange like that. ND's struggles has been playcalling. The athlete's are not the problem, the coaching has done a poor job getting them ready for the games, and using the talent they have to win games. ND is young everywhere on offense, power running game is the KEY to success. If ND ca…

Humiliated and Hurt

As my wife and I were walking back to the truck from the stands, I was completely and shamfully aware that the team I have been a fan of for the last 28 years had finally hit rock bottom with the coaching pool. What do the coaches do for the entire week before the game? Daivid Cutcliff, what were you thinking about? Short passes against florida is NOT the way to a victory.

I have supported Volunteer football for many years and now it is My belief that the money we as hard core s…

having fun in the "swamp"

It has been my experience if you come to the swamp just kinda migrate to the orange and white colors. I have been coming here for the last 12 years and every year the "gay-tor" fans just keep getting younger and dumber with the lack of respect and the comsumption of alcohol. I am not saying that all their fans are nuts but watch out for the ones gathered in groups singing and being rude to passer-by's. The Big Orange Tailgate Tour is a great place for Vol fans to gather, but the little beer gard…

Where's the Orange?

10 + years ago the week before a Home game was majestic. There was a feeling of pride and anticipation in the air as folks passed by dressed in their Orange and White ready for the upcoming game. Everyone had a slight bounce to their step and a twinkle of victory in their eyes. That's all but gone…

Big 12-vs- THE SEC

I live here oklahoma now, but I was born and raised in the Orange and White state. These sorry OU fans seem to think that they are real tough (we know better). There was a debate at work about OU ever playing The Vols, a question that I didn't have the answer to at the time. If anyone has the answer please let me know so that I can shut these "Doomer Boomers" up.

UT vs Cal Coaching Errors

1. Went into the locker room at half with 3 time outs left ! Unacceptable. Ended game with 2 time outs left ! Unacceptable. Especially after Ainge got hit hard on the sideline which brought up a BIG 3rd and long. He got up slow and they hurried up the huddle and threw ANOTHER 3 Yd OUT ! Should have called TO, not only to give Ainge time, but also choose a much better play !

2. Punted to arguably the Best Returner in the country ! Unacceptable ! NEVER let one player beat you ! Out of bo…
