"How can we be even more of a wipe-off rag for you?"

They gone.

Little bugger came a month early, before we could get him the proper attire to enter this world. Not to worry, grandma has already been looking at Vol gear for him. Like I said in another forum, I’m going to be that grandparent that when anyone asks me how I am, I’ll reply “oh, you want to look at baby pictures, here they are”. I’ll post pictures of him in his gear.

Doug Matthews pretty much said the same this morning. He believes they will offer up 10 scholarships for this year along with bowl game. He believes that along with firing everyone will be enough. We shall see.

A bowl ban would be ridiculous. You are going to punish the kids that stayed? Any recruit this year need not to look at UT.

10 scholarships in one year would totally kill the program and the competing coaches are correct in telling recruits that UT is getting the death penalty. Has any other program received that many as a penalty in one year?

The disproportionate thing about this is that you refused to buy out Pruitt and bought out Fulmer. Why did you get rid of Fulmer if he is not culpable here? He has to be or he would not have been fired.

IF what Doug is saying is true then I am beginning to believe that the way UT has handled this they should probably just give up football.

The scholarships count against the 85 roster limit. We're never at 85 anyway so really no big deal.

Miss this dude! Outside of Kamara, he was the most dangerous Vol with the ball in his hands.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I ain’t a buying it. As old as you are, you have to have a few older grandchildren running around asking to borrow the old Buick.

I recall the 2nd half of that game in ATL (no kids), He was best athlete ive ever seen in Orange.

Rewatching those, two things. That full speed left leg dig is sick, two, he did most of that on his own. There were lots of plays where he didnt even score but made touhh catches.

That TD against Georgia was something else!

Yea, I was thinking crazy all over. Through and through

The way UT handled is exactly how you are suppose to handle situations like this… the admin was told about the improper benefits which is a direct violation of Pruitt’s contract whether or not Fulmer knew which he probably did there is probably no proof he is culpable so you fire the coach and buyout a lame duck AD/legend. You don’t sit on the possibility of a whistleblower going to the press or the ncaa next if you don’t do anything yourself. You take charge and investigate the claim first fire all involved and give the evidence to the NCAA to show we were quick and swift with the outcome and most of all compliant.

Only if we had a D that year.

 

[ACvol3]

CP was one of the rare 5* juco guys that actually played like it

 

[DarthVol1]

They are not at 85 now, so his point was give up the 10 this year and load up on transfers the next couple of years to make up the difference. They were never going to a bowl game this year. They have had that planned all along.

 

[Volitaire]

That offense came alive against bad teams and late in games when we were down two or three touchdowns…Yeah the D was bad but that offense was archaic and inefficient with Cheney’s long drawn out WR routes that took forever to run…Cheney was a below average OC

Kamara too

Just think what that offense could have been if CP knew his routes

If I were UT, I wouldn't take any other actions against the team. They fired everyone, that should be enough.

A one year bowl ban this year would be insignificant in regards to recruiting. Giving up 10 scholarships in one year is rough though, especially in the shape we’re in. 10 scholarships spread over 3 or 4 years wouldn’t be so bad.

The uncertainty is what is killing us in recruiting. Just need to get a verdict out and get past it.

 

[Volitaire]

Oline couldnt hold their blocks long enough consistently to make a difference anyway.

Side note: CP was the only player good enough to master Cheney’s end around play call he loved to call although CP would usually run the other way from where the play was intended to go

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I suppose you do need at least one mediocre player to go along with all those hall of famers.

How Wilkins was left off that team is a mystery

Bodybuilding season is almost here! Time for the recruiting forum to post pics of sweaty mens with their bulging muscles and veins. We’ll judge their branch chain amino acids intake, and then extrapolate the number of regular season wins.

Are you excited?!?

Oh boy and the sarcastic posts are starting to heat up
