With Dooley-Jones-Cornbread he’s gone because done of those goofballs could look past their
CJH looking 3-4-5 years down the road=winning lots and lots of winning

Postgame, 2001 Tennessee-Florida:

"We didn't win anything this year," coach Steve Spurrier said. "We had a good record, had a lot of good games, but we didn't win anything."

Above all things Steve was good for the SEC funny guy..but F*** the gators

Where can I find that hat?!

Good question…i didn’t even notice his hat until you said something cool hat though

 

[Glitch]

These next two weeks are going to quite possibly be the longest most excruciating weeks since the same two weeks last year...

 

[Enki_Amenra]

When I was 15, I ruined about all my family's credit scores. I deserve whatever punishment BMG/Columbia House want to throw at me.

[Adam Sandler]

This list is ass

This list doesn’t win anything, just like the aggies. Wasted effort. Woop woop.

This may be my favorite play and game of all time that I saw in person. TE around pass. Just absolutely beating the Gayts’ heads in.

7-3 Vols at the half. Dale Carter returned the second half kickoff 90+ yards for a touchdown and all hell broke loose.

Better deep ball than Nico

I had a dream we beat Mississippi state 37-20. I haven't had breakfast yet so this will come true. You can thank me now or in 6 weeks

In 2023, Heupel went 8-4 with a less talented roster (particularly in the trenches), a more difficult schedule, and a very limited QB. 9-3 is floor, IMO.

Why wouldnt we? I would be pretty frustrated if we lost to MSU.

 

[WaywardVol]

Are you asking me, or yourself? You being the one who made the condescending comment, "There's more to quarterbacking a team than routes on air".

Make a condescending comment...get met with condescending, butt-hole reply. No sh!t there's more to quarterbacking than routes on air.

Nothing I said was condescending, much less directed as a personal affront. You’d have to literally be looking to be offended. I’ve never seen such a bunch of argumentative, conflict driven posters in my life.

I expect to win as well. But I just wanted to provide some extra mojo for us

I think everyone except Michigan would've been happy had the NCAA not imposed a single one of the penalties they put on Michigan and instead just vacated their 2022 wins and national championship. That's what they deserved and now they're trying to rub that weak punishment in everyone's face.

Something I think we all forget at times.

Michigan appealed the punishment.

Do any of you all know how tall Bryce Young is?

Talk enough to be #1 overall pick in NFL draft...

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Don’t like that grubb went back to Bama. I think he is a big reason for douches success. Good thing they are starting Ty Simpson ha

Few musings

George looks great but unfortunately he's just so thin. I don't think he's quite ready to handle a full season physically. Aguilar will definitely be the guy going into game one imo.

Physically the freshman are quite impressive. David Sanders is a man. Brame, Radarious Jackson, Morris, Dye.

Linebackers will be the best we've had in a long time.

No real dynamic playmakers on offense it seems (right now at least).

Secondary will be better if McCoy comes back even close to healthy. DL isn't as twitchy but is really solid.

I'd expect OL to be better than last year. Moe was a good pickup. Pendleton is just a body. Perry will be good. Heard and Warren are in better shape.

QB play is really just a killer right now. Nico (and Carnell Tate) really hosed us as this could've been a real championship caliber team.

Agree with everything except your last paragraph.
This team will be much better without nico.
They will be a team fighting to prove themselves and that they are much better than the media portrays them.
Smells like 1998.
Except nico couldn’t ever be confused with Peyton Manning.

17-0 bitches!


Tate would have been a nice addition.

Michigan appealed the punishment.

The NCAA is on Michigan's side. They prolly suggested the appeal. Hell, they prolly wrote it for them. Special treatment for pets.

What a day!

I was a student at Tennessee during that season. I knew both Mark Hovanic and Kelly Ziegler.
Both had the temperament of ‘roid rage. Not saying that they did anabolics, but they were definitely just one step away from violence. That’s the way you want your defensive front 7.

Kelly dated one of my fraternity’s little sisters. She was very sweet, a little naive, and absolutely gorgeous. During parties if she was there, she’d always get hit on. (She never really talked about her boyfriend). My favorite thing to do was to walk up behind the guy hitting on her and quietly whisper in his ear “you’re hitting on Kelly Ziegler’s girlfriend.” It was hilarious to watch the dude’s reaction and then the absolute fear that would overwhelm him. She really thought most of these guys were just being nice and talking to her…

My absolute favorite Zeigler story was at an offseason party at our frat house, football players would be bouncers for the alcohol. 99% of the time nothing happened so they got free drinks and we got to hang out with the football team. Well, one party this guy (no clue who he was) crashed the party, he was already drunk. He asked a young lady to dance, she said no. He grabbed her shoulder before she could walk away. She screamed Let me go! Before anyone else could react, Kelly was there behind him. Kelly grabbed him by his belt and neck and just threw him backwards over his head and over the back wall of our frat house patio. The guy bounced on the grass, drunkenly jumped up and ran off, never seen by us again. The drop was about 10 feet from patio level to ground. We asked Kelly if he knew how high the dropoff was? His response was: “who cares. He was causing trouble.”
The band started playing again and it was like nothing ever happened.

I am also a middle child...

Couldn’t resist

Really nice touchdown throw by Joe Milton.

He really does throw a pretty ball. Big fan of his after what he went through here. Showed nothing but class, despite the perceived 'me' flips and bow and arrow stuff. Wish him the best.
