Casey Clausen wore an incredible fuzzy, baby blue Fubu outfit to philosophy class sometimes.

As a Qb I liked the guy.....he was clutch and his willingness to stand in the pocket was amazing. I would of taken him over any on a must have play. That 4th and 13 against Bama (i think) stands out to me.

Agreed. Never met him but my impression was that he was always extremely tough and gave 110%.

He would have probably made the NFL if he had Cut to coach him. To me Sanders never got Casey to improve. He was good his freshman year and stayed at that level. He was as tough as any qb we've had. The beating he took in the Miami game in Knoxville showed me what a tough guy he was. He just stood in there and took it. He was one quarter from going to NC and he would be revered today if the Vols had made it

I am a big Casey Clausen fan, myself. I got a chance to shake Casey Clausen's hand in 2003 at the hotel in Lexington. However, I was very disappointed in his hand shake. I was assuming it would be a real firm and "manly" handshake. It was the complete opposite. It was so weak. Kinda how ladies would shake hands, I assume. I walked up to him and said something along the lines of "Casey, thanks for all you've done. You've had a great career". I can remeber him muttering "thanks". It was almost as if he was put out by me wanting to shake his hand while he was standing in the hotel lobby the Friday before the game.

In comparison.. Erik Ainge walked right up to my buddy and I in 2005(Lexington) as the team filed off of the charter buses. He said "How are you guys doing" and shook our hands. Ainge was very upbeat and polite. He also gave me the firm handshake that I hoped Clausen would have given as well.

The handshake litmus test. That is always a reliable way to judge a man's character. I once met Jesse Jackson about 20 years ago. He gave me a firm handshake also. Guess that makes him a stand up guy.

Me, I40VOL, and potsguy were walking from the Dome to the CNN center about 2 hours before kickoff saturday and looked up to see Casey Clausen walking towards us. When we went by him, I patted him on the shoulder and I40VOL said there's Casey Clausen. Clausen smirked as he went by and never even slowed down to acknowledge us. I noticed that he has gained a considerable amount of weight(especially in his face). Does anyone know what he is doing these days?

Has he been attending the Weiss's evening dinners???

i don't think casey was that popular around here since he didn't win anything. if he has won the sec championship in '01 and gone on to play in the national title, i gurantee you people would hve a different opinion on him. unfortunately, i see the same thing happening with ainge.

The difference: Clausen was probably our MVP in that 2001 game. Ainge will be remembered as blowing a fourth quarter lead and heading up an offense that did basically nothing.

Much agreed. Casey played a great game in the 01 SECCG. Turnovers killed us that day.

Another thing about Clausen: I doubt the student section chanting "Clausen Sucks" for long stretches of his first home game as a sophomore really endeared the UT fanbase to Casey. I don't know if Clausen was a friendly guy or not, but the majority of the student body definitely didn't know him and they wrote him off, anyway. He was also written off as a poor player very quickly, as well. In contrast, Ainge was perceived to be a messiah way before he'd proven anything.

The student section was chanting "Clausen Sucks"? I thought they were chanting "Clausen Rocks" :)

Well here is my Ice man Story... Tenn VS Miami a few years back. He got hurt kinda early and was out of the game....later to appear at a club on the strip dancing with some chicks....after a beating we took without him.

I just shook my head, and lost all respect.

I guess the 26-3 beating we took to Miami that day as well as being hurt couldn't keep Mr. Clausen out of the strip club. Oh well. Had it not been for Cedric Houston's first run of the game(76 yarder?) to set up a FG.... Tennessee would have been shut out that day for the first time since '94 vs Florida.

Yeah, I always wonder how he couldn't outrun those guys to the endzone. He had a big gap between he and anyone else and just got caught from behind. He had no problem outrunning the Auburn players in the 04 SECCG before it was called back because of a hold or something.
