| What is wrong with you guys?!? Ok Ive got to go to church, so cant chat...
I went over to govolsxtra where it seems the worst of our fans post. They didnt disappoint. Most of them picking UT to win and then complaining and trashing them. I thought Id get a little better when I came over here. Not by much. WHat is the deal guys? Good depth is just about the only reason we lost. And I keep seeing "God-awful" coaching by Chaney? Really? The pick was all Simms and Chaney is working with what he has. Simms isnt great, but he is decent at protecting the ball and making accurate passes. It was his 1st test. And who blamed the coaches for Stockers 'absense'? For real? Is it the coaches fault the veteran cant catch a pass all of a sudden? I was extrememly surprised with how well the special teams played (still cant return it). Half of these players for UT wouldnt be starting at alot of teams, let alone habe 2nd stringers that would be 2nd stringers anywhere else. As sucky of a blowout as it was, Im still optimistic. I think the Vols have a good chance of beating Florida and even Georgia. LSU isnt very impressive. UT will get better guys, just calm down. Im not blasting everyone or anyone, but I do get irritated when 2/3 of our fanbase pick UT and then blow up and bash the players and coaches (seriously the coaches? With what they have?). Sorry, but Im more frustated with the fanbase than me team. I think they can have a decent season with the schedule. They will get better. GBO!!! |

| I wouldnt call the people that post on GVX 2/3 of our fan base. They are just the delusional jerk offs that dont have anything better to do than complain. I think 95% of our fan base supports Dooley and understands that this is a working progress. |

I think Dooley and his staff did a good job with what they had. They knew it was only a matter of time before fatigue set in so they tried what they could to get ahead. Yeah the loss really sucked guys, but its OK! A VERY young and inexperienced team. UT gave it everything they had in the 1st half. Im proud of them. I think they will be a much better team next. You have to have some growing pains, but its not as bad as it appears. Look on the bright side of things!  |

I saw a possible bright future with a young enexperienced team that has NO freakin death. It is what it is. But I think the future will be ok. |
