now this will completely depend on your opinion of him, but he's on the radio right now in Charlotte, and he was asked the following question:

If the SEC was stock, who would you be buying from now for 5 years down the road?

his answer was a little expected, and surprising:
"Florida is obviously the blue chip right now, but you'd have to buy them high. Alabama is the hot buy right now, as they're going to go up.

but don't sell Tenneessee. When i first came to CBS the word on Tennessee was that they were undisciplined and that they just kind of rolled the ball out there and had questionable practices and such. However, in the two years i've been doing the SEC, i haven't seen that. they are a very disciplined team, and when you play Tennessee you better bring your thinking cap. they are one of the most disciplined teams in play and in practice i've seen since i've been here, the simply don't have the talent they've had in the past, but don't sell Tennessee."


i'm luke warm on Danielson myself, i don't dislike him, nor do i think he's all that great. but i was kind of shocked to hear him speak that way of Tennessee after hearing him call our games in the past.

anyway, just thought that was interesting. If nothing else, i don't think anyone could challenge his objectivity.

have a great day Volnation.:salute:

I wholeheartedly agree. I think the 07 class is capable, but I have been wrong before...once.

and i agree as well. the talent comment didn't surprise me as much as his comments about, what i can only assume would be, the coaching being disciplined in practice and during games.......it may be the first time i've ever heard anyone say you have to bring "your thinking cap" when you play TN.

Compared to '05 and prior, yes, Tennessee is now a very disciplined team, the staff deserves a lot of credit for that. We rarely commit penalties anymore... a few years ago we were one of the more penalized teams in the SEC.

As far as the thinking cap part... I don't know. We've called some good games, and called some bad.

I still think we are 2 great d-lineman away from being a true championship caliber team.

Add another for depth and we would certainly be better.

Add to that a couple of deep threats in the passing game and a ball hawking free safety that can cover some serious ground and I agree with you.

Well, I look at it this way...

We should be able to establish a power run game next year... and take pressure of the QB for having to win games for us - just don't lose them!

Special teams should be pretty decent (still surprises me to say that).

Secondary I believe will play well, as well as the linebackers. So I really think to win ballgames the old fashion way - smash mouth football, grind it out - we will have to have a immoveable force in the middle of the D-line.

On a side note, I wonder how much success the tebow up the middle play would have had against our Henderson and Haynesworth tandem in '01...?

bro', I thought the same thing. "My mother hung me on a hook once Johnny.....once." "this is the .457 magnum, it shoots through schools."

It's weird but I actually view ST as a (dare I say) positive next season. They've made good progress.

He would have lasted about 3 plays. :)

Remember when we used to say Vandy was a "disciplined team"?

edit: I would agree with the "disciplined" label if he is referring to the red zone scoring % and turnover ratio. It still seems like a backhanded compliment though.

I agree 100% with that statement. Who are we recruiting?

Good question for HVWarrior! I know we got Langley and Melancon last year... Dan Williams and Bolden have been stepping up, but I don't think they are going to dominate.

Melancon is at La Tech

Langley and Brimfield are guys that got the redshirt this season.

it's interesting to get a real view of how we were seen by the analysts. I'm guessing a lot of that undisciplined reputation came from the banks, washington, etc. era.
