Thats right, thanks for correcting me.

Do you know if we're working on any JUCOs this year?

Gerald Williams at DE.

There was one JUCO DT but I haven't heard much about him in a couple of months.

There is a kid from Florida that's a bluechip DT, Fortson is his last name I think, but he's a Miami commit right now.

I think Gary is pointing out what a lot of the kids on here don't really understand. UT was a bellwether program during the 90's. When a team plays UT they bring their A-game. We are a "circle" game on everyone's schedule. When we became an undisciplined (line blocking, technique, stupid mistakes, etc.) team during the early part of this decade, we lost more games than we should have. The program took a pronounced step back, but you can still tell that we get everyone's best game (much like Nebraska, FSU, and Miami). Our reputation is still dominant.

The last two seasons have been a testament to the coaching staff returning the program to a disciplined team. I have very high expectations for next season with the way this team matured during the season. And next season will be a chance for UT to play the toughest schedule they've had in quite some time - so they better be ready.

I agree with you assessment and would add that to truly reinstall a program of discipline takes more than one year. This team has improved in some areas but there is still quite a bit to be done. Hopefully this off season will be a good one.

I just hope the aggressive spirit (heart if you will)carries forward into next year. The freshmen really seem to care about what they are doing.

Melancon is at La Tech

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

Brimfield is one who I've got high hopes for. Not too many kids come equipped with his stature. If he plays as big as he looks, he'll be a dominant force on the interior for the Vols.

"Bring your thinking cap..."

I had to put on my thinking cap myself on that one.

This no huddle game is definitely a disciplined offense. Not prolific, but disciplined none the less. A defensive coordinator certainly must have his team prepared to face the challenges it presents.

Also, an offensive unit cannot have the kind of overtime success this Tennessee team tends to without hard work on the practice field. The overtime thing is something of a conundrum for me. How can you be so very successful in these pressure packed scenarios and not be as efficient at executing the rest of the time?...

Anyway, I see where his thinking is I guess. I'm not going to sell my Tennessee portfolio either.

I think I heard Danielson lives in Knoxville or has a house here. Not that it means a whole lot but I'm sure it has an effect.

Nah - I'm pretty sure he actually lives here. Read it in the Chattanooga TFP when they interviewed him last year asking him his favorite college venue and a few other questions after his first year with CBS - which was Knoxville.

i did not know that.

it still took me by surprise though. when i listen to him call games of ours, i never got the impression he was the least bit impressed with anything we ever did.

I'm still nauseated thinking about his comments regarding Tebow during the UF game.

Danielson is the less revolting of the CBS crew. Lundquist blows big time. I'd rather listen to UGA and Smokey railing on some ******* than listen to one more Lundquist comment.

Danielson = the Mayor of Doucheville
Lunquist is the town idiot there.

we have had top 3 classes from rivals in 02,05,07, we also are ranked 10th overall in classes from 01-Present,, are the coaches just not developing the talent or is the rating systems somewhat bogus?

Thats the $2 million dollar a year, 5 years on the contract remaining question.

go back and look at the 04 and 05 classes and compare them to who's even on the roster today.....i'd imagine you're going to find some 4 and 5 star guys that are now MIA, all for various reasons. so our overall talent level has maintained. add to that with those defections, we also got thinner, the "less talent" tag holds water.

the 07 class is too young to judge, but early returns are good.

Tennessee has been signing some high risk players who have ended up being kicked off the team for discipline or academics.

Schools like Florida with lots of in state can go after players who they know do not have a history or academic or discipline problems where other schools like Tennessee who are recruiting out of state, have to take a chance on the risky talent.

If Florida has a top player in their backyard, who they really want, its hard for Tennessee to come in and sign them. But the riskier players, that they don't recruit as heavily, they have a shot with. My opinion.

I agree, but there was not a school in the country that didn't want Morley and Banks. Henderson was also a guy that could have pretty well gone anywhere.

Do not think we are developing the talent...We are doing less with more...Other team manage to do more with less...a lot of other factors weigh into this but Coaching and teaching are major contributors....

Wow. I'm really surprised about the postitive comments from Danielson. Maybe he's trying to make up for saying the Vols looked like creamsicles in their orange pants. Or did Vern say that? Can't remember for sure. Anyway, the CBS coverage of the game seemed to be mostly about LSU and very little about the Vols. I think they would have been speechless if we had won the game.

I know Tebow will always be Danielson's main man, but he seems to have found another knob to bob as well: Ryan Perriloux. How many different adjectives did he use to gush about Perriloux's talent? I think he pretty much went through the thesaurus.

Is it just me, or do these clowns have no business doing SEC games on national TV?
