A 37-20 (if you take away the garbage TD) loss to Florida at home. Sounds familiar.

Ouch. Jimbo to the Vols?

I really really hope ND loses tonight. Bama or uga vs ND wouldn't even be close imo. I'd like to see a bama vs Oregon matchup personally. If not Oregon, uf would still be better than watching an overrated ND team get hammered. JMO

I never post anything about coaching rumors... but my friend works in the AD and he said Jimbo is the most likely in his opinion.

Never wanted Notre Dame to win more than I do right now.

A Florida Alabama title game would be a total nightmare (assuming Bama beats Georgia).

I love to watch Florida play defense man. Best unit in the country.

I was thinking this as well, while I was watching them play tonight. I miss the days of seeing a TN defense fly all over the field playing physical football. Being physical and laying the lumber is a mental state of mind...it has nothing to do with X's and O's. You see what happens when you hit people hard...sometimes the ball comes flying out. I was thinking...I don't recall one time all year that we forced a fumble due to someone laying a lick. Can you, BB?

I guess we just disagree but I just think Tenn is close enough to a lot of major talent beds, and add then into the incredible facilities and stuff you can pull top 10 class here. Hell we have sucked the past 5 years and are around the top 15.

I understand that we cant pick players out of our "back yard" But we are close to Atlanta,NC,Ohio,SC and decently close to upper FL.

I agree. We've pulled elite classes before. It can be done again. Just need a really good coach and stability.

No one is saying it can't be done. I'm saying Fisher HAS pulled elite classes and not won anything beyond the ACC. He would not pull better classes at UT where he has 1/10 the in state talent, and he'd be in a much tougher conference, so why do people think his results would be better here?

 

[Neyland2nd2none]

Uh oh, Manziel just hurt his knee. Not sure how serious yet.

 

[ColoradoVol8]

When did Skeeter say that about Jimbo?

 

[HankHill]

Matt Elam reminds me of Eric Berry. Just a total ballhawk/playmaker

 

[volstopfan14]

Glad we got the win. Next few weeks are going to be interesting.

 

[volstopfan14]

I wish Oregon had been able to make it to the title game. Doesn't look likely now that Stanford is beating UCLA and Florida won. Not sure if I would hate Bama, Notre Dame, or Florida winning it more.

 

[volstopfan14]

Anyone know why Naz Oliver had not played all year? He played really well today. Makes you wonder why Dooley had him on the bench all year.

Ref in ole miss game just picked up the groundimg flag because "the receiver ran the incorrect route" haha

Starting to feel that this is not our year. :cray:

 

[Crookruss]

Which players did Gruden bring in to TB and develop for the team that won the Super Bowl there? Besides the few free agents he brought in. I like this game.:hi:

How many Super Bowls had they been to in the teams history much less won before Gruden?

Whats the word on your HC?

 

[volstopfan14]

I really do not want Jimbo Fisher at Tennessee.

Since it looks like A&M is safely home: the top six teams in the SEC will finish 30-0 against the bottom eight. Not a single upset.

pretty wild stat

Looks like from the INSIDERS that Gruden is 1, Stoops is 2, Patterson is 3, Strong is 5.

I would be okay with any of those except for Fisher. I just really think he is overrated and wouldn't do well here.

Nothing yet. 99.99% certain Chiz is gone.

Yea. 49-0 in the biggest game of the year does not help what had already happened.
