We need to focus on the future. PERIOD. Dobbs is/will be the man. He's got the tools, and he WILL be developed/coached up. Count on it. There's no sense in speculating about what happens when -or if - Worley comes back. Things like this have a way of working themselves out. They always have...

Not to be "sacrilegious" or anything, but Dobbs reminds me a little bit of Condredge Holloway, who's from Huntsville, AL (Lee High School, to be exact) - The "Rocket City," home of NASA Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal - so....the Rocketman title kinda fits for me. Plus, I lived there...

As FDR said..."The only thing we have to fear...is our fans NOT remembering what we did in November."

I hate to disagree, but the originator of the post you replied to WAS correct. They DID play their starters for far too long into the 4th quarter - WELL after the game was decided. Yes, they DID mix in some non-starters after a while, but it was FAR too long after it was necessary. That...

The OP AND Vols 30 are both morons. Of the HIGHEST order. So is ANYONE else who says that only "older" fans think of this as a rivalry. I'm still close to the university and it's activities, and YES...it's STILL a rivalry to the students. Except those who don't give an elephant's a$$...

Yep...a complete @$$-hat. HE knows EVERYTHING, yet he's frequently WRONG... I've always found it laughable that sportswriters/announcers who've NEVER played a single down - let alone in college - can criticize teams the way they do... Morons...

John Pennington IS a complete and total @$$-hat. Always has been, and always will be. All they do is gripe and moan, and try to make it appear that "their" opinions about things are the right ones, which, of course, they're not... THIS season, for instance, half the time is spent talking...

I didn't see the logic...at first, then I remembered that their backup was in, and we had those time-outs... I didn't boo, but I did say (to my TV) WHY?!

Dooley is LONG gone, and we have a great coach here NOW...Let's just STOP all the Dooley talk. It's NOT productive. The program is headed (obviously) in the right direction, the fans are back on board, the Big Orange is rapidly on it's way back. It's a lot like harping about your ex while...

Sorry...Memorex doesn't droop. These "brains," while still stunning, droop enough to be proven real.

Anyone who continues to seriously think DD would be gone even if this season were to be successful - marked improvement being a given - is merely trolling for an argument, IMHO. DD has gone a long way toward rebuilding pride in this storied program, and after seeing what Kiffin tried to do...

I am SO glad that I'm not alone in this! It seems that almost every announcer or color commentator we get just can't seem to praise the other team enough, while leaving us to take on the role as an "also ran!" They then start to eat a little crow when we start doing really well. Did you...

\ What a typical response: "enough said." The game was close, and the score WAS a reflection of that fact. If you can't see that, then you need to get someone to tutor you in the basics of the game, because the rest of us don't have the time.

Quote: What game were you watching?????????? We could have and SHOULD have won this game. I was NOT proud of the low rushing yardage, and believe me, it WILL come back to bite us AGAIN if we don't fix it. But to say we were LUCKY to be in the game..............?! We WERE IN this game...

I saw a lot of really good things happening, and I saw some not so good things happening, but I only saw a couple of really bad things going on. That is SO much better than last year, mainly with the attitude of the team. Yes, mental mistakes occur, but they are coming fewer and farther between...
