Alright, Guys, I was in the Swamp yesterday, finally back home, but this was one loss, that I didn't feel dejection, I didn't really feel disappointment, I felt sort of satisfied and angry though with the play calling.

First off, with only a 10 point loss to a very, very, overrated #1 team in the nation, yes I said overrated, Florida is going to run across the wrong team and get the holy piss smacked out of them. If Lane Kiffin wasn't really playing for not being blown out and actually playing for the win, then maybe I would have a different stance on his play calling, but conserative play calling, especially in the 3rd quarter on 3rd and 26 I believe, and we run the football, shades of Fulmer there, Kiffin has to get more aggressive, we might could have won that ballgame yesterday, if he had let his balls drop for a couple of quarters, but I guess you can't really instill confidence in Crompton, or so it seems Kiffin couldn't yesterday.

Second Off, I still say losing by 10 points is an improvement, and I also want to extend a thank you to Gator Fans, even though I hate Florida with a passion, they were real nice yesterday, and very accommodating, nicest they have been to us in years, since I have been going down to the Swamp, but they made it nice and even shook my hand after the ballgame was over, telling me wshew that was a close one, and to keep your heads up because the rest of SEC Season is going to be cake as long as the Defense keeps playing like that.

Yea, Crompton throwing the ball down the field is the ticket to success for us. Our coaches are so stupid and cost us the game.

So, what would you have JC do? Sling it for 30 yards on 3rd and a mile? It's not the play calling man. It's the sorry excuse for a QB that we have. So, yes; we will be coaching to not get blown out against superior opponents. Thats our reality because JC is not a gamer - he's a HUGE liability.

Your credibility is zero, my good fellow. Do you really expect me to believe you when you say you were in the Swamp?

What was the name of that radio station that said Vandy's AD was going to hire Fulmer at the end of the year?

The one time Kiffin got aggressive good ole Jon threw an INT...He was trying to keep him from blowing the game...conservative yes but it wasn't a play to keep from being blown out, It was run the ball, Wear them down and take over the game...Good try if You ask me..He honestly had no choice...He lets Crompton throw the ball and We get the holy hell blown out of us...Crompton loses games single handily.

Then put Nick Stephens in, and after Crompton throws a pick, please tell CLK not to go over too him like he did in the 4th qtr and tell Crompton it was his fault for calling the play, that pisses me off.

How easy you forget what happens when Crompton throws downfield.

This^

We re hanging it ALL out when we let him throw on 3rd and 6, much less 3rd and 26.

IF he shows the improvement, and ability to make a good decision, and then execute the throw, I think think CLK will slowly start to open it up some.

I don't honestly think we could have won. The playcalling was great, had he changed and made crompton throw we have UCLA all over again....except the Defense is a lot better. Our Line did a great job run blocking (something OKLAHOMA couldn't do against that same Florida Defense..)

The 3rd and 26 was a hit or miss, if it had broken a 23 yard gain due to pass defense you wouldn't complain about the playcalling, but just because it got jammed with a Spikes Blitz, doesn't mean it was a "Bad Playcall"

Kiffin didn't coach to not get blown out, he coached to not let Crompton automatically lose it for us. It was genius, if you have ever played High School Football, and your team was mediocre playing the best team on your schedule you either go out Running trick plays and trying to get a fake W, or you play it tight, conservative, and limit mistakes while you let your D force Mistakes.....That is exactly to the definition what Kiffin did yesterday....and It almost worked, but it still was a great result. Look forward the next game, lets beat Ohio, then Auburn and Georgia and we'll be 3-2 or 2-1 in SEC and on the right track to a capital one bowl....Something Tebow hasn't won.

Read this quote from Dodd.


"And judging by the Florida fans quietly headed for their tailgates, this win might have, well, hurt. Tennessee isn't going away. We know that now. Not with the Amazing Kiffins dialing up plays on both sides of the ball. Lane, despite quarterback Jonathan Crompton weighing him down like an anchor tied around his waist, called a brilliant game. Perhaps the nation's best defense knew what was coming on almost every play (a run) and still couldn't suffocate the Vols".

Kiffin had no QB,and still managed a great game. The only thing I wish he would have done differently is go for a TD instead of a field goal when the Vols were inside the 5 yard line.

:eek:k:The playing calling is based on what cromp can do and not do at this point......... If he would have let him throw down field yesterday, He would have had 5 int's and we would have been ran out of that stadium.

Agreed about the UF fans. I had a bunch better experience than I expected after hearing all the horror stories

Remind me what happened both times Crompton actually took shots down the field? He threw 2 ints. people need to start realizing that Crompton is what he is. He isnt a SEC caliber QB & this is what we have to deal with, i think Kiffin had a GREAT gameplan yesterday. Kiffin is held back in his playcalling because he doesnt have a QB that can throw across the middle or down the field without throwing an int its just that simple.

the only thing that baffles me is after kiffin named crompton the starter he TOLD nick stephens to stay ready he's been wrong b4 .... i just don't understand that statement

First off I disagree 100% on what you said about play calling! Yesterdays play calling is what kept us in the game all 4 quarters. Kiffin said himself they played conservative in the first half and wasnt gonna play that way in the second half, they was coming outta the locker room to win, not cover the spread. Everyone can call yesterday a moral victory or whatever you want, i call it a well played game and the best defence we've had in forever! Yesterdays game proved to me that our future is looking UP and we will be back on top sooner than later!!! GO VOLS!!!

The reason Kiffin told Crompton the last interception was his fault is becasue it was HIS fault! Yes, Crompton could have thrown it better, but he was forced to throw to a double covered man.
The reason it is Kiffin's fault is because it was a designed play, on 4th and 6, with no other options. Not saying Kiffin was wrong, I liked the call, but it was a do or die play. Crompton's only other option was to tuck and run, which is not an option. CLK was trying to keep his QBs confidence up, which is important.
By the way, the first interception he threw was a lifesaver. The cut block penalty would have made it 3rd and over 25, meaning a punt. We threw a 30 plus yard interception, as good as a 45 yard punt with no return from James.

The coaches put us in the right positions we just didn't execute. We make a few less mistakes , like tackle better and we are within 7 points with 4 minutes to go. I know this I saw no chance of a Florida Beatdown yesterday.

Play calling was just fine yesterday. When your strength is running the football, which we did very well yesterday, you play to it and that's what Lane did. The guys just missed a couple key blocks that woulda sprung it for 6.

That being said I like Lane's attitude towards the game. He said today on his show that we should have won and he was right.
