Footballapalooza '07, Day 3.

**hatvol96** · 09-23-2007, 03:35 AM

Dateline: Neyland Satdium.
1. I think someone should tell the young women working the concession stands that wearing a shirt that says "Sodexho" isn't the way to go.
2. One of the worst travel days of my life. I'll put details in the Pub later.
3. It was good to be back home.
4. UT better find some defensive linemen, else the season will really stink.
5. Jill has Pres Pub working like it used to.
6. Les Miles busted out the whoopass play.
7. Jim Harbaugh's team lays dowm for nobody.
8. Coach Fulmer taking points off the board was smart and tough.
9. I guess everyone who called Matt Stafford a stiff is lined up to issue an apology.
10. Tennessee beat a team that is far better than the cognescenti think.

So is day 3 the final day?

To Point #9:

I didn't make any pre-game comments about Stafford but his performance was hardly impressive. His 2nd INT kept Bama in a game they should have never been in.

Georgia, Bama, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and UT are all equally mediocre teams at this point.

Wow. I guess all the folks that call you hate cause they think you are anti all things Volunteer can just shut the hell up and start paying attention to what is actually being said. Good job.

From what I saw....they ain't bad.

I was thinking the samething.

Undefeated, Heisman Candidate, and possibly the future SEC East Champion, and yet still mediocre?

Before the season I was mocking all the hype that Woodson was getting but from now on I'm just going to shut up.

Also, on a college football note.

Tennessee, Michigan, and Notre Dame (maybe not so much as TN and MI) need to welcome a new team to the "I want the coach fired" crowd. Welcome the Louisville Cardinals.

From time to time I'll go check out teams message boards (I parallel it to people looking at a crash on the interstate). Louisville boards are crushing Kragthorpe, going as far as saying that he has divided the team. They are getting a little crazy, even to the point of talking about leasing a billboard to air their displeasures with him.

The football gods have played a cruel joke on Louisville fans by bestowing a little success on the program. I am not saying they don't deserve it, but I laugh when I think about the fact that only 1 out of about 10000 people I see wearing Cardinal Red can have a seat to the game. With that venue, they should just be happy with every win.

I agree with you Hat, ASU is a better team than most people realize. I can also tell you that if Tennessee doesnt find a d-line, Ark will rush for 1000 yards in our game alone.

I started the hate name. It is more than what you think. It is not a slam at him as much as a joke. I will say that those who think he is anti UT are way off base.

Since Michigan has been using another qb instead of Henne (sp) and are 2-0 since, Carr is slowly regaining his job.

ASU, yeah we knew coming in they would be a tricky one. They never went away against Texas, only losing by a touchdown.

Stafford would be great. But if you think Vince Young had/has problems with his mechanics, Stafford has major issues. I think I saw him set his feet twice all night. He threw every pass as he was running backword or falling away from the play. Georgia will throttle us I am afraid. Their defense never quit. The offense is the same as ours. They live by the little short dump pass. But they use their backs as recievers and they can fly. Moreno is gonna be a stud. They also have deep ball threats, unlike us. They are, for the first time in years, weak at the Tight End position. He dropped about five crucial passes.

How much would it have hurt to watch Ole Miss beat a team that flat out embarrassed us a week ago?

I honestly am beginning to think Houston Nutt's seat is getting hotter than Fulmer's. The new AD may walk in the door swinging an axe.

therickbol · 09-23-2007, 09:38 AM

I don't think the DL is as responsible for our poor run defense as the LB's are. The DL played very solid in the ASU game. Our LB's don't make any plays against the run. They are out of position and never get off blocks.

For Carr to remain next year, Michigan has to beat Ohio State.
