I would trade coaching staffs right now. I would give UT 4th Place Dan Mullen and the entire Miss St staff, ie Florida football now ( including our lousy AD-in-training) for Tennessee's coaching staff. I think UT will be the quickest to challenge Kirby and his filthy Dawgs in the East and will...

Drew Hughes did an excellent job at Florida. He even served as an active recruiter one year when UF was down an assistant in January. However, he is, was and always will be much better connected in Alabama than Florida. UF has never landed a kid from IMG on his watch. Sent from my SM-J727V...

Still do not like a Gator referring to another group of people as idiots. No call for that kind of nonsense. I honestly believe, though, that if Butch made some more aggressive moves I think that he could save his job/season. I know fans were frothing over Dobbs before the season, but he...

To be fair, we took all of our freshmen on the road against Kentucky, their first road trip, and they were AWFUL. If we had played like we did on the road against the Vols, the Vols would have beaten us by 50. There is an enormous difference in freshmen playing at home (especially O-line where...

Football coaches have to be perceived by players as infallible for the players to have faith that by following the coaches' instructions exactly the team will find victory. So, it is difficult for a coach to publicly acknowledge mistakes and shoulder the blame for failure. Guys like Spurrier...

As an outsider (yes, I am a weirdo who is a Gator grad, but worked at Oak Ridge National Lab, so have a lot of Vol friends), I have to ask those who know, how has it come to be that a school known for great linemen literally for decades on end has put such a pedestrian offensive line out there...

In nearly 60 years I have never said this, but I actually feel badly for the Tennessee kids tonight. They played their butts off and deserved to win this game. Between the poor decision to not go for 2 and the poor choice to only rush 3 against Greer on 4th down, the Vol coaching staff lost...

OU can score more in a half then we might score all season, so, I think it is a given that their offensive is better than ours. Our defense is as far ahead of OU's as their offense is ahead of ours. IF UF played OU in a neutral setting, we would almost certainly lose by 5-7. I am...

Not sure where all of the insanity has happened, but back in the 80's and 90's, me and my friends would always, and I mean always find a group of Vols partying on Friday night and buy them a round. Almost always received the round back with dividends. UF has a fair share of redneck fans and...

Good news on Hurd's injury. I know that a few of our guys talked smack during the week (sorry, no control over that), but I like watching the kid and was a HUGE fan the week before against the UGa. I love college football and hate hearing about injuries to any kid, let alone a talent like him...

Speaking as a Gator fan who disliked Pearl, the SEC and UT could REALLY benefit from him returning to Knoxville. For reasons I just do not understand UT under Martin, and the SEC in general have really kind of fallen into a state of conference wide mediocrity. A Bruce Pearl hiring at UT would...

Maybe we can trade you a couple of DLinemen and Dbacks for a WR or two and possibly even a spare QB??

No chance, Tennessee has more talent on offense than the 4 of those schools combined. UT will go 7-5.

I used to think Gator fans were brutal toward our coaches until I came over here. Holy Cow. Honestly, the only differences I saw tonight between UF and UT were the speed of the LB's on defense and quality of depth, especially on defense. Also, the UF players have started buying in to the...
