Ah, part of the let him walk crowd... I just remember the good old days of all those 3* QB's we had..

We always have at least a 4 star QB on the roster lol

One Knox now up 2-0

I don’t really care about stars anymore. I just want dudes that want to play for Tennessee and dudes that fit Heupel’s system. Feels like we need to spend all of our money on defense and save a little to fill out the OL. Most RB can do well in the system and a QB that can hit the deep ball. Heupel can scheme guys open so we don’t necessarily need top end talent at the skill positions.

Sure could've fooled me for a lot of years...
Crompton was a bust overall
Bray was a head case
Dobbs was good but not great.



Now the WTH crowd.

Dormady
Peterman
Rick Clausen

I'm sure there was more during the dark age.

Justin Worley I respected, not the most talented but played his ass off.

Bray done more with less. Clausen walked into a loaded team that just needed a decent QB... Never was impressed with Ainge just the fact his Uncle was Danny ..

I was at the Omni when Danny went the length of the court to beat Notre Dame. Same night the Vols played VA and Ralph Sampson.

Wasn't that Notre Dame team loaded with talent? I know that Kelly Tripucka was on that team..

Yep.

It was an awesome game. One of the best sporting events I have witnessed.

Damn dude. You must be pushing 86 by now?

I was about 13 at that time.

Weird how Tennessee fans put all their eggs in a basket slobbering over Nico 3 years ago and now are doing the same thing over Brandon... People need to pump the brakes because CJH doesn't have a rep of starting a true FRESHMAN QB... Plus that's toal disrespect towards G.M. from the fan base.

You would expect anything less?

Matt Simms…

Good Grief. I forgot all about his services.

Flew up to Loiusville to see Tripuka play UK. Single prop Cessna in winter night conditions. An adventure to say the least.

Good reason , there was not much to remember..

You don't think he was good at the time? No backup to speak of.

Warm body playing QB...

What actually was Boo Carter's beef w/this football team? Good luck, son.

Some of that may be because of the difficulty learning the system, with the increased speed of the game at this level. Not many true freshmen succeed when forced into action.

Yeah, but his genes said otherwise w/his father being ex-NFL Giants QB Phil Simms.
