I can safely say this is the worst team Tennessee has lost to in my lifetime. Fulmer should not be allowed within a mile of the football complex after today's "performance." If Mike Hamilton has any pride, he'll pull Fulmer's card immediately.

I was but a wee lad during the Army fiasco and was not alive for the whole "What's a Rutgers?" thing, but if you say so, I'll have to take you at your word. Wyoming is pretty awful.

Preach!!!This game is a perfect example of why I wanted an interim HC as soon as the press conference was over.

If we had anybody left I would agree, but who do we have left? The chief is a lame duck and either making plans to retire to Florida or polishing his NFL resume as we speak. If they made Clawson the head coach an angry mob would assemble and burn down the Hamilton residence in something similar to the Frankenstein scene. Anybody lower than that everybody leaves and there's not enough coaches left. Seems like we're stuck until after UK.

I'm with you, hat, although the Rutgers and North Texas games are probably the equal of today. Time has a way of easing the memory of past disasters.

What's done is done. The 2008 season is over. We're probably 3-9...4-8 at best. Hamilton is letting Fulmer write the final chapter of this book, which is the right thing to do. It only serves to strengthen Hamilton's position, and weaken Fulmer's, when history examines whether this was the right move.

At this point, it's all about the new coach, and where we go from here. Fulmer is only "lowering the bar" for the new regime.

Go Vols.

Was there today and asked the Mrs. Can we fire the whole team and start over? The product we all seen today, or listened to was not Tn football. Excuse me while I :sick:

well this is goin back a ways, but the north texas state game (1975 i think it was 14-7) was unbelievable. . i was 15 and loved the vols and kept up with any and all stats possible and north texas state was sooo obscure i did not even know their nickname (it turned out to be horned toads or something like that). that was nearing the end of bill 'im in awe of the bear' battle era. somewhere in there a moving van was reported parked outside his fox den home. but yeah this is definitely in the ballpark

The Memphis loss was pretty bad. However, I entered a point spread competition on a Memphis radio station Friday based on the team that covered the biggest spread over the weekend. I picked the Cowboys. The spread was 26. The prize was a $30 gift card to a local Italian restaurant. I'm thinking I'm heading to the restaurant with the gift card in hand.

Army in '86 and Rutgers in '79 both finished with winning records. North Texas State was coached by future Hall of Famer Hayden Fry. The Virginia team we lost to in '80 was atrocious, but not as bad as the Wyoming squad that left Knoxville with a win today.

Again, Rutgers wasn't that bad.

Seeing Wyoming fans celebrating about a win over an SEC team invokes sickness and laughter at the same time. This "team" that currently calls Neyland Stadium home is an embarrassment to SEC football, to say the least.

Hat brought this up in reference to what someone said about beating Louisville in basketball when they were really awful, and it's quite appropriate.

They didn't beat Tennessee. They beat a name. That's all.

We should have been able to beat Wyoming if we had announced beforehand that we were planning to eschew the legal forward pass for the entire game.

In fact, now that I think about it, we probably would have.

I dont remember a lot of the games from years ago. This team is likely to go 3-9 this year. Ky can actually score points. Vandy isnt great but likely better than Wyoming. This season is going to be an embarrassment of epic proportions. If this team isnt the worst UT team in history I am glad I dont remember worse.

NIU this year gave us a tough game... and Ball St waxed them the other night.

We are officially the worst team in the conference.

Before my time...but...I looked back through the records...1958 UTC seems comparable...

Worst loss in terms of meaning for the program in 50 years? Probably...

We've hit the bottom of the barrel. We can't beat the doormat of the Mountain West.

Do you guys remember when LSU and Georgia tore their goal posts down after beating us in 2000? It pissed some people off but I took it as the sincerest form of respect. A victory over Tennessee meant something special back then. No such gesture will ever take place again unless it is in Kentucky. That it is what this team has cost us - a forever diminished brand name - and six million to the coach that brought us here. And Phil Fulmer Day? Whose brain fart was that? Was there a Don DeVoe Day too?

So after we get a win in Neyland again maybe we should tear our goal post down?

That would be the funniest thing I have ever seen. What a proper sendoff to Fulmer if this happened against Kentucky. :eek:lol:

I agree. Tearing down our own goal post due to such a pathetic season would be priceless.

I'm down for tearing them down. Sort of in a rebirth fashion. Who will lead the way?

1996 loss to the Tigers was worse IMO. This was a game that I could almost see UTK losing despite the point spread. '96 is as confounding now as it was then.

Nice verbage. I can only say after yesterdays performance, or lack there of, the teams remaining on our schedule have to be licking their chomps, especially bowl seeking Vanderbilt.We are their ticket to a bowl game.:mad:
