Two things that a coach MUST control, regardless how the skill level of his roster compares to that of the opponent: (1) the players, offense, defense and special teams, must be in position as coached at all times and (2) the players must give maximum effort at all times. Pruitt has failed...

You don’t really think that UT is Bammer’s biggest rival, do you?? Did you just kinda forget about the Iron Bowl??? UT’s biggest rival these days is the private school in Nashville.

Doesn't take good players to play hard, win or lose. Pruitt's players flat out quit in the one game that meant something (Vandy). That may be on the players, but it is also on the coaching staff. For a head coach making millions of dollars to blame it all on 18-21 year old kids is not only...

Doesn't matter. Herman had his kids playing hard and not giving up from the get-go. Didn't blame his players when they lost to Maryland two years in a row. Rather, they worked harder and improved as each year wore on. Meanwhile, Pruitt blamed players and those plyers gave up against Vandy when...

Wait....what??? Uga lost to 3 top teams this year and I didn't see their players quit in any of those games. Meanwhile, I saw the Vols totally quit on CJP in the Vandy game. Yet somehow we are saying what a loser Smart is????? Not a good look at all - this is why our fan base is a laughingstock...

Not sure that woman he allegedly climbed into bed with was all that amused.

At least he was paid for the detour. How do you think the players that Jones lured to Knoxville feel?

Well, since you either can't or refuse to answer two simple questions, we'll just stick with really really weak reading comprehension. Happy new year!

Can you read? Do you speak English? Where did I say they are one of the 4 best teams in the nation, or better than UGa or OSU?? Read my lips: my questions to you are (1) should they have turned down the bowl invitation and (2) would you turn down the bowl invitation in the very unlikely event...

How are they "pretending"? Answer the second half of my question - should they have turned down the bowl invitation? Would you?

Are the Vols "frauds" for losing almost as badly to Vandy? Would you have counseled ND to turn down the bowl invite so they don't offend great thinkers like you? Serious questions - just trying to get a taste of what makes a great intellectual mind like yours tick. Thanks for any advice you can...

Why? We regularly poach guys from Georgia, etc. - do those kids somehow belong to UGa, Tech or whatever? Give me a break and quit whining. Cemson has been more successful than the Vols were at any point in modern football, so I don't understand your attitude. Got news for you, dude - success...

You mean the same D UT hung 13 on???

And you know this how???? Oh yeah - someone posted it on VolNation, so it's clearly true.

Well, FSU finished about even with us in recruiting (we are ranked a smidge higher because of total numbers - their average player ranking is higher) after having their absolute worst season in memory and nowhere near our facilities or budget, and they still landed their choice for OC. Would...
