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

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...

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'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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

at our camp? Anybody see him throwing the ball? Any intel from coaches or observers?
