Yes, Poole came in with such high expectations out of high school. Huge disappointment for sure.

Perhaps the poster considered what Brown accomplished after he left UT when determining who would have ended up better.

Hot tub time.

there is a difference in a reason and an excuse - lack of winning the last 2 years was backed up by legitimate reasons - if it can't happen this year it will be an excuse as the talent is now here and I think DD will produce and show what he can do when he actually has a hand to play with

Dooleyite, IMO.

But you are absolutley right.

The level of talent was at a piss poor level towards the end of Fulmer's reign. Kiffin was no help.

Now think about our upperclassmen talent over the last couple of years compared with our competition and what UT football is used to.

And people say those are excuses. Gimme a break.
If you can't understand what that means to a football team in the SEC, you need to learn another game because you don't understand SEC football.

Auburn had one player drafted also and they played harder schedule. I think you need to learn another game because its not that hard to win 8 total games in the SEC.

So, you are telling me the talent was poor at UT?

No ****.

That's never been the question.

So without our best playmaker, our best LB, our best DB getting kicked off, and a QB that didn't play in a lot of the SEC games, which 2 do you think we should have won outside of Kentucky to get to 8?

@ Florida with the best WR in the SEC getting hurt on the first series?

vs. the East Champion?

vs. USCe with Worley starting?

@ Bama?

vs. LSU?

@ Arkansas?

Auburn played a backup QB for five games also. They still beat South Carolina and Florida.

They did play South Carolina with their starting QB, and everybody knows that Florida was not the same team after Brantley went down

Or perhaps Brown would have been a better RB at UT then Poole turned out to be.

Four Auburn players were kicked off the team before the season for robbery. RB Michael Dyer was suspended for the bowl game. A couple of others were suspened as well. Maybe TN just isn't as well coached?

Yes, Auburn was able to beat an ACC team without Michael Dyer, congratulations but color me unimpressed. As to the robbery only one player really mattered is Michael Mcneil (Four Auburn players booked, booted for armed robbery - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF*Blog - Yahoo! Sports).
