    Fulmer to be on CBS college sports

    Barnhart and Fulmer? Are you kiddinig? A boring, washed up sportswriter and a boring, washed up coach. What a dynamic duo!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    Nick Stephens

    quasi-conspiracy theories about the QB position. Unless Kiffin and his staff are idiots, their task at QB is simple: Find a guy who's got the goods and can win games, beat florida. While I question how Kiffin handled the QB from Nooga, I trust he won't be an idiot with the most important...

    So Frank Wycheck just slammed CLK for having physical practice....

    I am glad to see the early intensity--mostly for one reason: The Vols schedule is very heavily front-loaded, with nearly all the big games coming in the first half or so of the season, and then we tail off as always with easier opponents. I NEVER thought the Vols under Fulmer were ready to play...

    Fulmer and Tubberville on TV

    Fulmer's problem isn't name recognition, it's that he's as boring as a dish water and I can't imagine that he'd have ANYTHING interesting, insightful or truly entertaining to say about a football game. He never said anything REMOTELY interesting over his last decade as football coach, so I doubt...

    Article: VolNation Q&A with Clay Travis

    Is there real reporting in the book about the very obvious failures of Fulmer in recent years or is it mostly a puff piece from a UT fan that only UT diehards will like?

    Article: VolNation Q&A with Clay Travis

    This guy is a fan and not a real journalist, even if he does have some little one-night radio show and a self-published book about his favorite team--awwww. He shouldn't have been given credentials to cover the SEC media event. That's not to say that the real journalists are rocket scientists...

    Most improved position at TN

    I think the OL will be improved--and it had BETTER BE or the Vols will be in for a long season as the passing game could be weak again. I hope the QB will be better but less confidence about that. I think the kicking game--Lincoln--and special teams will be better and expecting good things with...

    UT vs. UCONN

    your three best players and be ranked number 5 preseason--but of course preseason rankings don't mean diddly. UConn will have some players, of course--Robinson and Walker and Dyson, to name three--but this will be a rebuilding year for the huskies. Dyson is a tough and physical guard but not...

    Are you getting more optimistic or pessimistic about the upcoming season?

    I'm long term optimistic because this staff is strong and they are recruiting well and will continue to do so--I think the talent will improve. That said, I think this year's team could struggle. I expect the offense to function better than the mess we saw last year--but unless we can run the...

    Does anyone here think we were honestly the "best" team in 98?

    Everybody talks about the Arkansas game being lucky. I tell you where we got lucky--beating florida that year. They went up and down the field all night--but had five turnovers, including a fumble at our 1 yard line that Wilson recovered. We also scored on a pass that was a Martin wounded duck...

    Does anyone here think we were honestly the "best" team in 98?

    We had an outstanding football team that year. Did we catch a couple of big breaks? Yes, but as has been said, you have to to win a national title--no matter how good your are. The Vols biggest break came when Florida State had to play it's third-string QB--righit?--in the title game, a guy...

    USC hires Kevin O'neil as new HC

    I think something is off about O'Neil. On the one hand he does seem very well respected by some. But he's a a LOT of jobs, and many have not worked out. He was at Arizona, thought he would take over there after Lute Olsen's retirement--following an almost year-long leave of absence--but it...

    USC hires Kevin O'neil as new HC

    UT under KO had the WORST offense I've ever seen--it was Pathetic; as bad as football Vols under Clawson. I think his stint with the Vols, along with Houston, was the absolute nadir of UT basketball--gawd, were we BAD. Wasn't Tony Harris the most overrated Vol BB player ever? I think so...

    Weakness on "D"?...linebackers?

    LB is obviously the biggest weakness on the team--or tied with QB in that regards. McCoy is only decent--not sure he's better than that--and after that we are very thin and very inexperienced. Lathers apparently can run--but he's young and on the small side and hasn't played a game against SEC...

    Any word on how Scroggins performed...
