If he could tell the truth, I would love to know Lane's thoughts on the players Fulmer left him at O-line and QB.

All you had to do to glean the truth Saturday was observe Kiffin's facial expresssions. He's in utter disbelief that an SEC has quarterbacks this awful

Does 7-6 or 8-5 (with a meaningless bowl win) sound about right to you?

I haven't seen Auburn yet...just their final scores...are they any better or are they a by-product of their schedule so far?

I live down here and the AU fans I talk to are not that crazy about their chances this year. They are nowhere near as optimistic or as exited about the future with Cheesit as we are (for the most part anyway) with our new staff. They do look better on offense to me so far but see WKU results for us as comparison.

Amazing!!! I would never want to go into a fight with any of you guys, he!! why even play the game?

We bit*hed about the team quiting in the past, not caring, not having any heart and here are the fans quiting before the coin toss. I see where the team got it from over the past few years!

We're fickle. It's within our rights. :) Personally, I do not care how many games the Vols win this season. Getting out of the rut that the program was in was bound to be painful no matter who took the hfc job. This staff is hamstrung by a dearth of talent at some key positions. They are doing the best that they can with what they have and they are recruiting like madmen. The future is bright again. The winning ways will return.

Tennessee had no shot against Alabama and Pitt in '80. No chance at UGA and USC in '81. LSU, Auburn, and Washington State were unwinnable in '88. Miami would have beaten us 100 times out of 100 in '02. No shot against Florida in '94. No chance against Florida in '07 and '08. That's all the hopeless games I can remember. None have been a bigger lost cause than Saturday.

What about in '01 when we were an 18 point dog and won the game?

^^ No but you should keep your doomsday feelings to yourself and support your team. Don't be on your fans board talking about the "beatdown" you are expecting.

If it happens it happens but we expect our team to play untill the whistle blows so we as fans should not be writing them off before they leave Knoxville.

Auburn's no better than they were last year. If we don't handle them, four wins sounds about right. I'm sticking to my prediction of 7 or 8 wins.

Are you also sticking to your belief that Kiffin is the best Tennessee head coach in your lifetime? I'll probably ask you this a few more times over the next year or two just to see if I can get you to balk. :)

How many future NFL players were there on that UT roster. They were an 18 point underdog because of their awful performance against Kentucky, not a lack of talent.

You'll keep asking and you'll keep looking like a fool. That's your prerogative. I can assure you I'm never going to say anything positive about the piece of trash who's speaking to the Daytona Gator Club this week.

Excellent point. Auburn has essentially played Western Kentucky each of the first two weeks. Let's see what they do against a decent opponent before we annoint ol' Chizik. (I'm looking at you, Chris Lowe.)

But, nobody gave us a chance in the game, hence the 18 pt spread. Even you I bet. If you'd admit it.....

We've had some nice upsets over the years, namely:


  • Miami '85
  • Notre Dame '91
  • Florida '01
  • Miami '03
  • Georgia '04
But the difference was, we had overachieving, if not good, QBs in all of those games. Crompton is going to have to play the game of his life for us to even have a chance... and the O-line is going to have to dig down deep.

That 18 point spread was a joke. Anyone with a modicum of football knowledge knew the Vols had a shot in that one.

UT had offensive weapons all over the field, a competent and capable quarterback, and the nation's 2 best interior defensive linemen.

How was beating a Notre Dame team you played to the final gun the year before much of a upset. I'm also not going to consider beating a team with Brock Berlin at QB to be a huge feat.

Wow, congrats! You're the first person I've talked to that bet everything on the Vols that week. You must have made enough money to do you for the rest of your life!

No, just consistent. Fulmer is, was, and always will be garbage. He glory trained a couple of Rodney Garner recruiting classes to two whole SEC titles. He never won anything else. He is an obese version of Mack Brown or Lloyd Carr.

Both teams were ranked in the top 5. Both teams had NFL players on both sides of the ball. There were plenty of people who thought UT had a shot to win that game.

I'd never expect you to say anything nice about Fulmer. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I would, however, like for you to explain your belief that Kiffin is the best coach of your lifetime. You seem like a reasonably smart person with a well rounded vocabulary. I find it ironic that you would make such an idiotic post unless you are under the age of 15.

Great point. I hope we can win but unless JC turns it around it could get real ugly. Mediocre OL + poor Qb play against one of the top 5 (at least) def this year in col fb at the swamp = beatdown. But they still have to play the game so theres always hope. Thats not even considering our thin Lb situation.
