"Have some damn class."

Actually good advice from Butch. Striker is a class act usually, but didn't show it after the game tonight. Maybe he will take it to heart. I will defend Striker though for one thing, he played a helluva game tonight. Not as many stats, but that was mainly because UT was keying on him, which allowed other guys to make plays for OU.
Yeah he seems like a classy individual based on his talk this week and actions tonight.

As bad as I hate to say this, Butch got plum out coached tonight. If he would have stuck with the play calling that got us the lead, I really believe that we would have won the game hands down. Our talent really showed tonight when Butch & staff was coaching to win. Watching how we lost this game tonight brings back to many bad memories of Fulmer doing the exact thing in close games, mainly the Florida game. Looking back and watching some of my older Vols games I've recorded over the years, there's 3 Florida games that I think we would have won for certain if Fulmer wasn't so worried about losing it. Butch tonight coached the same way. I really hope this game is not indicative of the way Butch is going to coach big games in the future.


if CBJ ever gets close to CPF record,then we can discuss the difference between the two

He's our Butch, but he'll always be Stoops' and Muschamp's B*tch.

And Franklin and Saban and Richt and Pinkel and argh can we just finish a game to get a win for a change! Wasn't Butch's mantra how much better conditioned we would be and how we will wear teams out in the 4th quarter? Biggest 4th quarter lead lost in Neyland Stadium history tells me it's not working out that way

The whole issue was him sticking with the plays. OK adjusted to those and the staff refused to re-scheme. The issue is he DID stick with those plays.

Yeah he definitely proved to be a classy individual with his mouthing off this week and his actions tonight. He played well tonight be a gracious winner and let your play speak for itself. Instead he asked like a punk! Yep that screams class same goes for whoever the other player was that was flipping the crowd off.

His teamates did. I don't even remember seeing Striker besides getting knocked on his ass by Hurd.

Yep. Like I said in another thread. He sure was vocal after the game for a guy who had little to no impact on the outcome of the game

At halftime he had something like 6 tackles with 1.5TFL.

I imagine that number skyrocketed when our offense completely crapped itself.

You guys are absolutely rediculoua ripping butch like that. Yea we lost a game we should have won but am I the only one who sees how great this team is heading. Do u remember last years game in Oklahoma? If u don't see improvement in this team then stop watching honestly

Yea butch said it and he rightfully should of the kid showed no class on the win. Would u be happy if dobbs acted like that if we won? I wouldn't of and I'm sure he would've got a earful from butch to

Let the guy live and let him and he'll be the one laughing in the end this team is light years ahead of where it was when he took over so **** up please

I kinda feel sorry for Butch at this point. He came up with a system that he believes in and worked great at the lower levels. He's starting to realize that it won't work against the elite teams. For two years he's been telling himself it's due to the talent level, but as that evens out he's seeing that his system and coaching style just doesn't work at this level. This is causing a lot of frustration and denial.

I love all of the deflecting. Oh, we only have OURSELVES to blame. What a pathetic ****ing straw man, this doesn't have anything to do with the play on the field.

Anyone who doesn't think Eric Striker is a worthless POS who deserves to be suspended...is wrong, plain and simple.

I hate this team more than most teams in the SEC. What a bunch of classless losers. I'll be pulling against the Sooners from here on out.

Eric striker cursing our fans and telling our recruits to go to OU. What a POS:http://twitter.com/WATEMichael/status/642926419014606848/video/1

They made us look silly in our house. And to be honest, I like this kind of attitude. Kind of wish some of our guys had that kind of fire. Who cares about class? I care about wins.

It seems UT fans want players that are nice and only say good things about their opponents. F that! I want someone who is angry and wants to hit their opponent so hard they stay down. College football is about emotion and hate. Striker has that hate, and when it mattered his defense made DeBord look like a confused old man.

The sad thing about that is that he did that as though OK just blew us out completely as opposed to winning by just a touchdown... in overtime.

No we wouldn't be happy if it was Dobbs but it's not CBJ's place to call an opponent out on it. Tend to your own locker room.
