D/n if he would have, but I would have, and do. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the condescension, but after all, I received both of my degrees, including my doctorate (which in a manner of speaking largely involves reading comprehension), from UTK, so I'm prolly purty stoopid, what with that publik edgumacasheeun and such as that. First, did I ever say he...

Don't get me wrong. I am NOT going off on Briscoe for being mad at Hammy that the decision was all about money, b/c in the "new" world of intercollegiate athletics, donor $$ to fund the program is the bottom line. Also, I do NOT blame the players for being angry their coach was fired. Pretty...

Tennessean headline today, based on comments the players made yesterday, approx. 48 hours after PF was fired, says, "Some [not all, mind you] UT players feel poor play led to move." Some UT players feel poor play led to move | www.tennessean.com | The Tennessean Brilliant. And they figure...

Touche. I celebrated my big "win" with a single Starburst fruit chew. Unfortunately, it was pineapple, and I'm not too fond of that flavor. The next time I'm permitted to declare myself a winner, I think I'll have myself an ounce of room temp. tap water. I like to dream big. :)

Good post. Thanks for clarifying.

I sure don't disagree with this post. Sad, but pretty much true.

Wow, do "you people," as you so kindly called me, not ever have anything you say challenged on this forum? My point is that no quote by Patton is relevant here. Your "claiming it" by agreement makes the rest of my argument pertinent w/o any "strawman" necessary. Yes, I know you agreed...

So by your logic, every football coach with a losing record and hearing it from the fans while nonetheless working 100 hour weeks is lazy and collecting welfare? A agree to the extent that a good person is a good person is a good person (Patton wasn't really a "good person," IMO, but he sure...

HE is a PROFESSIONAL football player now, in the entertainment industry, paid millions of dollars to do what he does, and he will rightly be fired if he does not do his job well (but the type human being he is will remain more important). A COLLEGE football coach SHOULD, at least, have many...

Dead, undertaker? I'm a HUGE fan of Patton, btw, deliciously insane though he was, simply b/c the allies might not have won the war on the western european front w/o him kicking butt and taking names. That said: Are you seriously equating defeating Adoph Hitler and stopping the takeover of the...

I'll be sure to pass along to Mr. Haynesworth that you think he's a wussie, "non-ass-kicker" type for supporting Fulmer.

Well, it really is "the enemy" I'm preaching to, which I know always entails being pelted with fruits and vegetables. :P Flame suit on, and flames expected. I'm a frequent poster on, as they say (and who are "they," anyway), another forum, and I'm not afraid to take unpopular positions...

I'm not crying; I like your analogy. Your attitude makes me wanna puke, as well. This is typical of a "me first" society in the current mess it's in because of greed. "Modern" football's spoiled fans and hired mercenary coaches (like Saban: a talented coach, but do you really believe him if...

Unless he meant it metaphorically, as in "winning" in life and as person of integrity, honesty and character, that is a downright immoral statement, and it's sad it's become a part of American culture. I know some of you are religious, and I don't know how you square that quote with your...
