Angry Absolutely pitiful!

OK. I have never really posted a serious comment on this board before and I certainly expect to get railed for this. BUT, several things need to happen before
I freakin lose all hope in Tennessee.

When will we let someone, Anyone else get a chance at QB. C'mon I mean we've never been afraid of staring freshmen or sophomores.
Crompton is just terrible.

Next, When is a leader gonna step up. Foster is the obvious choice but he's to busy screwing us with crompton. This is the coaches responsibility to make leaders. We haven't had a true leader since John Henderson. Somebody that will step up and get in peoples faces and scream and stomp and spit.

Then we need to learn how to read defenses. Have we checked out of a play this season? Man coverage = fade or post (deep pass) without throwing it away. Give the freakin reciever a chance.

Last. I'm tired of the lacidasical attitude by our coaching staff. Maybe it is time for a change within the entire coaching staff. (Chavis too) I mean he did call a prevent defense against UCLA and zone on third down against auburn. Man defense allows our great secondary to make plays on the ball. We ran man all second half and auburn couldn't do crap then all of a sudden we go to zone when we need a stop the most. What the crap?

I'm sorry but I've never been so disgusted.

Anyone think we can beat GA, Bama, South Carolina, Kentucky, or Vandy?

5-6 here we come again.

Foster isn't a likely candidate to be a leader. A leader knows how to keep his cool, not fumble the football in key situations over and over and over, and learn from his mistakes. Gerald Jones and Montario Hardesty appear to be the two hardest working and hustling guys on the offensive side of the ball. Josh McNeil deserves some credit also.

I just can't believe we suck so hard. We gave auburn that game. In fact we've beaten ourselves in all three games.

I am proud of our D for the most part, our qb on the other hand does not need to be let back into the state!
I support and will not talk down about the program as a whole ,but if crompton touches the ball again I will go

You are ABSOLUTELY right. Unfortunately. We need a decent QB in the worst possible way and there is plenty of blame to go around.

Foster probably has his mind on heading to the nightclub to pull another drunk.

Maybe he'll get caught and disciplined. He hasn't been the back I hpoe he would be. Creer and Hardesty both are better backs. Foster thinks he's barry freakin sanders.

I can't believe we can't do a thing with the ball when we get it handed to us on the 50

How many chances did we have on their side of the 50 to just get in field goal range and failed.
