I never understood the bum rap Tennessee fan gave Casey Clausen. I think he was a hell of a QB. Best one we've had since Manning.

I don't think Casey was so much of a curse, but the baggage that came with him (his family) was what helped cost Fulmer his job.. ( along with the Bowling Green coach, of course.)

So, didn't see anything discouraging in the cliff notes thread, but when I was last in this thread, there was some talk about people freaking out on TOS. What was happening with that? Are our guys still sticking to their guns?

He was one of the most clutch 3rd down passers I have ever seen. May not have looked pretty but was damn good.

I have to ask: is your job to make sure the Internet is working at your company? With the number of post you have in this thread, you must be a I.T. Operator or a security guard! LOL

I didn't know that and if that's true then yes, he can't be a productive coach if his coordinator disrespects him.. On that note, I will say I did notice at the Troy Game that Sal was out there with his chart and the players showed no interest. They were either ignoring him or laughing and talking to each other. I also did see Dooley rip Sal a new one. I also noticed that when Dooley got into the middle of them with Sal talking,they did seem to pay attention. Could it be that the players don't care for Sal?

Athletes and Defensive backs have been our most recruited position with a total number of 18, yet we have a walk-on RB Tonney (sp?) playing in the secondary.

Was at that Bama game. When they tore Casey's helmet off and he was talking trash, the crowd went nuts. Sat 3 rows up behind the UT bench. Loved the Iceman.

I'm sure they will be coming around now their leader Hubbs is dogging Cheek. Hubbs is laying a foundation of future events to unfold.

People not going to the games but having tickets, you do know that UT has already gotten your money for the tickets. What hurts the school are the people that would normally buy tickets, but don't now. Not the ones of you who bought tickets, but aren't going to make the stadium emptier.

You're still counted in the attendance figures. So, if you want to help, give the tickets away. Then that person who you give them to won't actually buy some and make the #'s higher...

Your plan would reduce the number of tickets sold but would not impact declining revenues in concessions sales caused by the no-shows.

I can only speak for myself.. I am really not staying home to prove a point.. I am not interested in going because I do not like the product the field and it isn't worth the drive.... I actually tried to give away my ticket to the last game (yes give away), but no one honestly wanted them...

I could be wrong but I think season ticket have basically taken a nose dive in the last 3 years also....

Dooley has taken blame this year. Said it starts with coaching several times. I think hiring Sal started his demise and not handling Sal correctly put the nail in his coffin. I believe Dooley is gone, however I don't think Gruden will be our next coach.

Do you guys really think that these players really respect Dooley or the majority of the other staff members.

That's fine and well on the Gruden part. That's not what we were discussing and a jab at me. No problem.


However, Dooley's ineptitude has been on display since year 1....or zero....or whatever.

Not trying to argue Blazer, but this isn't the 1st yeair this staff had issues...

There was also a reason that we had so much turn over int the staff last year... Not saying I know the reason, but there was a reason for sure....

I do know why CCB left though...
