Thanks guys. I appreciate you all taking the time to read these things and really appreciate the time given to respond. No worries Ricki, everyone has an opinion. It’s cool.
And Jimmy, thanks for the kind words about the show. We respect our affiliation with the University of Tennessee greatly and those guys have always been great to us. However, it is our job to give our opinion.
If I do not give my opinion on the show, no matter the topic they will put someone in my seat who will. Having said that, I respect the people running that program greatly and make great effort to be fair. Thanks again.
-Brent.

Slightly harsh there aren’t you, Ricardo? There was plenty of insight in the article. There was no gushing or defending just pointing out what’s happened in the last two weeks. Listen to BD and Duncan’s show and you’ll see just how much they have called the Vols out this year. Fans finally have a medium to let management know we are not happy with the current state of the football program.

Still, Ricardo, I do agree with you on some of your points. First, I wonder where in the hell were these guys for Cal or Florida? Ok, for Cal, we put up 31 and when you put up this type of number you should win. Second, I think PF has turned things around only b/c his job is (note I didn’t say was) on the line. Third, the past six years speak for themselves. We are a mediocre SEC team and will be as long as the current system is in place. No win over UGA or MSU can replace that. We still lost by 39 points versus our top rival and that hurts. If you can’t get your guys up for two huge games at the beginning of the season, something is seriously wrong. I don’t expect the Vols to win out but I do expect Hamilton to take a long, serious look at where the Vols have been, where they are and where they would like to go. Under PF’s system, we will remain a mid tier SEC program at best.

BD…love the show and keep the pressure on PF and his staff.

what is the point of this article? i guess if you have been living in a cave since before football season started it would bring you up to date.

the gist of the article:

the vols lost and looked bad doing it. the fans got mad. the vols won and look better. i hope they keep winning but i don’t know if they will. the season is not over yet. alabama is next. in order to win the game, the vols will have to run the ball well.

no insight whatsoever; the most casual fan could write this article.
