The subbing crap was clearly one sided as all get out. Pitiful and if I was Tennessee I would demand a explanation from sec headquarters. I would also ask that refs be consulted in these highly questionable lapses they seem to be having. Too many missed things going on this year, nearly all in favor of the favorite. It smells bad too.

I just don't think there are too many "band wagon" VOLS fans at this time, whether you graduated from UT or not. My grandparents, parents/brothers/sisters, my children and grandchildren have all been in to Neyland and Thompson Boling many times, I have been a season ticket holder and my parents had been for 30 years till it became too much of a hardship for them to go..Do I not qualify cause I didn't graduate from UT?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there are more fans that didn't attend UT than did.

I am a huge UT fan, grew up in upstate NY, went to school in Nebraska and live in NC. I have loved the big orange since high school in the late 80's. trust me you think we are bad Duke basketball has a ton of fans and I would say less then one percent attended Duke

Well I DID go to school there with a diploma to show for it (which, unlike Tux, I don't feel like I have to prove), and I can say that many of the folks on this site that didn't go there are much bigger fans and far more knowledgeable than a lot of those that did. It doesn't matter where your fandom comes from. All that matters is that you care.

Whether you are a multi generational fan like JCP or you just discovered last week how great living a volunteer orange life is you are welcome here. There are no qualifiers. Join the discussion. You would be hard pressed to find a more diverse but caring group of fans.

(Fans please don't prove me wrong) :)

Well said sir, I have two degrees from MTSU but I have been going to games with dad and grandad since I was probably ten years old and anyone who says I am not qualified to be fan can kiss it.

I posted this over in the Football Forum and wanted some feedback from you guys:

The Worley-Dobbs situation reminds me of the Matt Simms-Tyler Bray situation. The younger QB in both cases shows more promise, while the older QB had limitations but was a a warrior. The older QB was used through the toughest part of the schedule and then the younger QB was unleashed during the final part of the schedule. Remember we were 2-6 when Bray got his first start and we made it to a bowl. Hopefully the same will ring true for Dobbs this year!

Yeah it is kinda similar.

I feel bad for Worley, but to me, it seems like Dobbs' mobility gives us a more dynamic offense, and thus, a better chance at winning. So I hope we see Dobbs the rest of the way. Plus it helps build for the future, especially since the red shirt is gone.

But I gotta trust that the coaches know what they're doing and will play whoever they feel will get us the Ws and get us to a bowl.
