Who the heck is Ramon Foster? Is that Jodi's brother or somethings? BTW, it seems like we have taken a lot more "project players" this year than normal. Am I imagining that, or what do you think? BTW II, I am pumped about Schaeffer. His coach about had a hissy fit describing what a good...

Just in (990 am) Schaefer Bolden

Freak, A lot of rumors are abound that Shaeffer has committed to Tennessee, as well as the Ayers kid (LB) from SC. -VS

Yup. I have been wondering all year why they wouldn't give Tinsley a shot at RB - his natural position. When they moved him to a position he WASN'T GOOD AT and DIDN'T LIKE, I believe they were presupposing that Houston and Davis were viable backs. Obviously, that didn't turn...

Freak, Well, I tend to agree. Our OL was not very good this year. However, I think if we read between the lines, we can figure out what's going on: OUR RUNNING BACKS ARE TERRIBLE! Not decent. They're bad, at least for SEC standards. Of course, that doesn't say much about...

GAVol, Astute observation; I agree with you. It is surely possible that some might take the surace argument I put forth and turn it into an infinite vendetta against the coaches. That, however, is not MY aim. The reason I said it is not cut and dry - and offered up some agreement with you -...

GAVol, You're right about some things, IMO. This deal isn't cut and dry. You did bring up a good point. Stoops' team did "melt down," at least to some degree. In the national championship game it was their offense that was exposed. Herein lies the difference, however. They...

Board: GAVol is correct. Fulmer's pay, or for that matter, anything have to do with athletic department, has nothing whatever to do with the university's budget. That is a straw man. The AD is self-sustaining, although they do voluntarily give money to the university. I also have...

Freak said, "I don't think he really knows what the problem is. " Yes! Throughout all of my misinterpreted rantings, this is all I have been saying. We can't do the same things over and over and expect different results. Fulmer either doesn't know the problem, does but...

It isn't the losing the upsets everyone, it is the way we tend to lose. It's one thing when two prize fighters go at it for 15 rounds and someone has to lose. It is quite another thing when one fighter fails to show up for the fight. That is Tennessee's MO in too many games. They...

Freak-nasty: I concur. A two-loss season would be a very good accomplishment. This team has certainly lived on the edge (and I think they will continue to), but there are no spaces for explanations beside the final tally - good or bad. Kentucky still scares the living daylights out of me...

Jerry Punch had a few interesting things to say today.... ...stating that Spurrier will be out of the NFL next year - or at least that is what they are hearing. Apparently, Daniel Snyder barged in a coaches meeting last week and told them that they WILL run the ball. Saying it rather...

Freak: Good question. I can do ours pretty easily, however. Just subtract 13 wins off of the VOL total and you have our record. since '98 56-16 since '99 43-16 or .729 equates to 8.75 wins in a 12 game season.

My take: This was nothing more than a common example of a spoiled kid taking himself too seriously - read, "Everything I do, say, and receive is a big deal. I am very important." Someone needs to sit him down and make him realize that he is a college kid playing a GAME. For a couple of...

Lady: I love your optimism. If I had my rathers, I would just as soon look for ANY plausible scenario where the Vols would win. Unfortunately, I just don't see it. There don't seem to be any similarities between this game and the '01 Florida game. The reason, in my view, that we...
