I am really disappointed

[StlCardinals2618]

Cameron Newton almost single-handedly won that NC for Auburn. He was much more important than Fairley, IMO.

I agree with that, Newton almost single handily won every game for Auburn except for the Bama game when Auburn's d played lights out in the second half.

Oh, the irony... still, you're spot on, Eric. :hi:

And, FWIW, Cam needed the Malzahn offense, imo, which CLK would have never installed as it wasn't a long-term solution for him at UT.

Well I would hope you wouldn't include me. I am pretty much clueless anyway.

Yeah...but at least you are witty. Love the new avatar, btw.

I've seen Bama fans posting total nonsense for years, and it doesn't seem to be affecting the on-field performance of their football team.

 

[Spartacavolus]

It would have been right at double digits.

Based off of the 2nd semester? 2nd semester grades wouldn't have been ready in time before an bowl.

What??

 

[2ironVol]

Its one game, get over it. Spurrier lost to Kentucky last year too. Saban lost ULM, it happens.

You're wasting your breath. These reactionaries haven't got the first clue as to what they are talking about. They're more interested in the flavor of the month and what it has done for them lately. Their opinion isn't shared by ANYONE that matters.

 

[UTVolCountry]

I agree 100%, CountVolcula.

 

[Spartacavolus]

What??

When do you think 2nd semester grades are posted?

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

When do you think 2nd semester grades are posted?

In plenty of time for the bowl game.

First.

 

[volfan2024]

So hiring a guy with a losing record from a inferior conf like UT did is how bammer, Florida, LSU etc did it?
I didn't realize that. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought Saban, Meyer and Miles had a very strong proven record when hired. I guess my memory is bad.
Again thanks for being so smart and showing all of us dummies the error of our ways.

Do you seriously think the thread is about you?

You started it... but it's not about you and folks scrambling to defend themselves against your complaint about complainers. You're not that important.

It's about UT football and some of us have invested in that for quite a while.

Who said this was about me?

I was just letting them know that not all the ones that dont agree with me are included

Anyone can disagree, just be intelligent when you do it

There are ones on both sides of the argument that dont have a fricken clue

Tampons....

my wife said you could have one of hers Count.

Got it at the flea market.

read between the lines. if you don't agree with me you are an idiot and i'm going to flame you.

 

[CountVolcula]

Glad I'm not on his list either... I'm pretty tired of the whole cheerleading act.

Sorry if I rained on your pity party

love the last sentence...

 

[ob79]

Dooley won an NC at LaTech before taking the UT job?

Apples and oranges. Some people may be overly critical or even reactionary....but this is apples and oranges.

I don't necessarily agree with this.

Now, I'm not arguing for a second that Majors and Dooley are even in the same hemisphere as far as coaching ability, but the situations they took over aren't that dissimilar.

 

[volfan2024]

I'm disappointed in Tennessee's fanbase for making excuses for mediocrity.

I'm disappointed the powers that be allowed Hamilton to hire a guy due to his last name and not his credentials.

Just drives home that he knows what he's talking about

Nope. It's based off first semester and those grades were known, which is why there were a couple academic suspensions for ky game. Team activities right now are based off of second semester grades. Same for hoops.

 

[volfan2024]

You build Ball State from scratch (thanks Brady Hoke). You build Baylor from scratch (thanks Art Briles).

You do not build Tennessee from scratch. A coach here has a near unlimited recruiting budget and some of the nicest facilities in the country. You are slapping the history and tradition of this program in the face when you say "Dooley is building from nothing".

You're pissing on General Neyland, Carl Pickens, Condredge Holloway, Dale Jones, Dale Carter, Reggie White, Willie Gault, Eric Berry, Larry Seviers, Hank Lauricella, Johnny Majors, Doug Atkins and everyone else that's ever suited up for Tennessee.

Stop the excuses and admit that Dooley is in over his head.

When you bring your game notes to post game interviews your pretty much are trying to cover your butt to put it nice. In all my years as a Vol fan, that was a first. As it is he gets another year regardless.

Idk man... I think I'd be happy again if we would just win.
