I would be on board with experimenting somewhat with Coleman, but putting Crapton back in there is a stupid idea. Stephens isn't setting the world on fire, but he certainly isn't doing any worse than Crompton, and he has more potential. The fact that we're even having this problem, with...

Absolutely correct. What happened to the offensive line this season? They were supposed to be our most reliable part of the team this year. As for Stephens, I'm glad to see him in there. We might as well stick with him now. He certainly isn't performing much worse than Crapton, and he's...

Completely irresponsible and unacceptable. That's the kind of stuff I think players should be ejected for.

Unfortunately, losing a lot of games is the only way to cleanse UT of Phil in a timely manner, so that maybe we'll be an elite program again within the next several years instead of just maintaining the status quo mediocrity. Mediocrity will allow Fulmer to stick around, so we need less than...

Didn't read the whole thread, but I think the point a few others have made on this board is worth reiterating: Fulmer has built his impressive winning percentage against cupcake teams (Kentucky, Vandy, and SC for several years). We keep losing to our biggest rivals in recent times. Fulmer...

Yeah, good point on the O-Line. I, as well as pretty much everyone else, felt that our O-Line certainly wasn't going to be a problem this year. Not sure what is happening......maybe the coaches watched a bunch of tape over the summer and figured out how to tell their defensive linemen to get...

The game was a competition on who would be sucessful at giving away the win to the other team. Auburn tried by stagnating on offense and giving us the ball on their side of the field for much of the second half, but the fumble recovered for a TD in the first half was just too much for them to...

I don't contest that the football gameplay time is shorter, but my observation is that the real time of the game from start to finish has not been significantly shortened because there are just more commercials now.

I don't see the point of the new rules. If the game is on TV, they just show more commercials. The real time duration of the game really hasn't changed much, as far as I can see. It's just that now we have less football and more commercials.

Sure, but against an impotent offense. They missed many, many tackles paticularly in the first half.

Ok, thanks for the info. I realize that, even with last year's rules, we would have needed another big punt return to win, because Crapton sure wasn't going lead us down the field in that situation. I'm not watching another game until I hear Crapton is on the bench. He simply cannot get...

I've just been doing some skimming on the first page here through the threads, and I haven't seen anyone mention the deal with the timeouts at the end. Feel free to merge this thread with another if I missed it. Can somebody tell me what happened? To me, it looked like we called the last...

Wow, are you serious? You must live a miserable life if something like this upsets you so much.

A+ post. The talent on the field, besides QB where it is arguably the most important, is plenty good enough to be one of the top SEC teams. As others have pointed out, the coaching is abysmal....they are failing us both technically and in their role as motivators. The game has passed Fulmer...

Look, even if we manage to beat Florida next week, that doesn't automatically get Fulmer & co. off the hook. A win at Florida doesn't mean a whole lot if we still end up losing 5 or more games, which is entirely possible from what we've seen so far and the schedule to come. A win against...
