Yaw do realise that yaw are beating each other up over semantics dont ya?

We,as fans,should be able to go ahead and chalk this one up in the W collumn.On paper this is a win folks.

The team,of course,has to show up and play to win.

I will say this about the Kentucky game: with each passing year, I have worried more and more about this game. We have to realize that it CAN happen. I, as with many on here, have seen us lose to Kentucky before. To the Cats, we are the biggest game of the year. They go into this game like we do when we play UF and Bama.

I know no one likes to say 'automatic,' but I think we can all agree it would be embarrassing if UT loses to Kentucky or Cincy, and it would be an absolute disaster to lose to Vandy or our other OOC games.

No serious observer looks at that game without casting an angry glance at Hambone. Everybody knows he handled it completely wrong, the one consistency in Hambone's administration. The Vols went on to beat two far better teams. Without the Hambone Experiment that team is bowl bound with Jonathan Crompton v 1.0 as QB - an incredible achievement.

Wyoming is on Hambone; Memphis is on Fulmer.

Time to let go, guys.

It's time for you to let it go. Hamilton had maybe a 5% impact on the Wyoming game for the timing of his firing Fulmer. The other 95% was on Fulmer. It's time for you to accept it.

I don't know why folks want to ruin a good buildup to our opening game with the Montana Grizzlies, by talking about automatics.

Wyoming is on Hambone. He assumed responsibility for it the day he held that press conference. He is UTAD.

That's called responsibility. And it's not like the man does leave a wake of clusters wherever he shuffles.

It's better he did it then and then wait and finish 6-6 and have to deal with the small portion of fans stupid enough to think Fulmer should still get another year.

Didn't realize Hambone was calling plays for Wyoming. And if you want to blame Wyoming on him then you can give him credit for Kentucky. The boys were only up for that game because is was a last home game for Fulmer.

Just because you keep saying that ridiculous accusation that an AD ruined that game, isn't going to make it true.

Even if it was, who cares? The fact that the program had fallen so far was enough to fire him anyways. It wouldn't matte if we beat Wyoming by 50. Gibbs is just living in his little fantasy world where Fulmer is still a good coach.

Simms sets UT single game TD (10) and passing record (900 yds)...wins starting job back.

If memory serves there was a big strategy shift between the two games. Wyoming couldn't move the ball and only scored b/c of 2 devastating picks by Stephens. Against Kentucky UT refused to throw at all. I think it had more to do with strategy then motivation.

Not likely for two reasons:

1. If he does play in the game, his grind and management style will result in no more than 300 yard if that but more likely 230yds. The RBs will be the feature attraction, skinning the Griz-Bears and making them into a rug so to speak.

2. If playing, Simms will come out trying to show he can pass for TDs as well as Bray but Dooley isn't having none of that. He will put Simms in manager mode and if he doesn't toe the line, someone else goes in. Probably Nash or Raulston. I like Simms a lot and though I think he is a rather decent passer, he can't thread the needle like Bray. The result is his passes get picked or he seriously overthrows the receiver. But when his receivers have fair to decent separation, Simms is pretty darn good. Again, Dooley isn't going to take unnecessary chances IF Simms is inserted. He toes the line or else.

Wyoming, don't want to make an excuse but not many teams would of won after their head coach firing. Hard to get motivated after that

Memphis on other hand was a complete shock.

A lot of teams could have won. That team was simply bad.

Agreed. I don't really remember it, but it seems like that UT team was one of the best in the country. Maybe the best after Florida.

Blaming hambone for the Wyoming loss is like blaming your parents divorce on your failures of life. At some point you have to take blame for your own actions. Even after being fired it was fulmers job to get that team ready to play.
