But in all seriousness. RF posters in general have a higher IQ about recruiting and a overall better understanding of where the program is what it’s going to take to turn it around.

May I suggest you post more over in the FF. Seems to be right in your wheel house.

If they're really dead set on sticking with JG and giving no other QB a chance, I hope we can find a bigger back to spell Chandler and Gray a bit and just go run heavy all year.

JG may not be able to beat many teams with his arm, but the offense showed some juice in the run game, our kicker seems to be automatic inside of 50-55 yards, our punter has been very good, and the defense was mostly solid last night. We might be built to win some games this year if we try to keep things on the ground, play the field position game all year, and always take field goals if we're in Cimaglia's range. We had two chances to kick FGs in Cimaglia's range yesterday and turned it over on 4th instead. Take those points and we win.

Playing conservative football to take advantage of special teams may be our only hope of success in most of our games this year. It sucks to waste the receiving talent we have, but there's just nobody there to get them the ball reliably. Gray and Chandler have shown they can make plays when we feed them, but can they both withstand a combined 43 rushes per game? If we're gonna have a chance to make a conservative approach work, we're probably gonna need a 3rd back to step up and share the load a bit. Maybe more of JJ in the wildcat? Any chance we see Banks or Crouch get some run at RB again?

Bingo. I think it's more likely that we move to a ball control bias, than a down field one this year. It just makes sense with the pieces in place and what the objectives are.

Lulz, that’s not what you said.

You must be one of the posters that I normally just scroll right past because I’ve never seen you until we lost last week.

I expect our offense to look very similar to what it did when Kiffen was here. Slow ball control with a lot of flat and curl passes with the occasional deep shot. With that formula I think we can be in games during the later part of our schedule.

Vols find new way to lose, Braves get drubbed, but Titans tearing the Browns apart may be the most surprising thing this weekend for me

Much better team effort. Fans were incredible (Makes me teary) they showed up a made huge noise. Coaches did their job and were fired up. We need a better quarterback.

I’m can’t even talk today because of my screaming, even among a lot of BYU fans. There had to have been at least over 90,000 there. The fans were amazing.

Looking like I chose the right year to quit my full time job and go back to school. Between school and my side job I picked up I’m putting in 60-70 hour weeks. Makes it easier to get past the fact that my Vols are struggling and my Dolphins are complete ass.

I agree. You could tell from early in the game they dont really trust JG flinging it down field.

Braves still took three out of four against the nationals… That is all that really mattered in that series this weekend. Would take a huge debacle to not win the East. They are even making a run at the best record in the National League.

Oh I know. They pretty much finished them off. Just trying to make a joke about the Titans, apparently a weak sauce one.

Such a great story! So glad they are reporting it. They have it on their site, too. He was bullied for his homemade University of Tennessee T-shirt. The school just made it an official design - CNN

The story has spread far and wide and from almost every media outlet.

On Friday, Snyder updated her original post to share her student's reaction after receiving the surprise package and learning about the outpouring of support from the University of Tennessee community.

"My student was so amazed at all the goodies in the box. He proudly put on the jersey and one of the many hats in the box," she said. "All who saw had either goosebumps or tears while we explained that he had inspired and touched the lives of so many people."

"He had a big smile on his face, walked taller, and I could tell his confidence grew today! Thank you to the UT Nation for that!"

Snyder wrote that all her students were "ecstatic" when the young fan brought the box into the classroom and that the experience "[united] my class even more than I could have imagined, and it was truly amazing to witness!"

"THANK YOU so much so all who have made this such a positive experience for my student, and also showing the rest of my class what it’s like to come together and be kind," she said.

And in a tweet on Saturday, the campus store said that the overwhelming demand for the shirts caused their servers to temporarily crash. The official hand-dawn UT shirts should be delivered to fans later this month.

What's crazy about that is you have 1 vs 1 on the right side. And 3 vs 5 on the other.

I’ve never been about blaming a loss on one player and I’m not now, I don’t know enough about the x’s and o’s. It’s a team effort, when one part of the team isn’t working, the other position groups have to makeup for it. I was at the game, I watched JG for most of the game. He never looked comfortable, kinda like a robot. I hate it for the kid, he just looks like a fish out of water. They aren’t going to make a change for next game because of the opponent. Coaches will be watching to see what he does and go forward.
