Did y'all see this?

"Tennessee head coach Phillip Fulmer yells at running backs coach Kurt Roper after the Vols failed to score in the third quarter against California Saturday in Berkeley."

If you're done making your points, I won't have to. Unfortunately, I expect them to be made about 10,000 more times this week. I think you should realize that the majority of posters on this site probably don't feel negatively or positively about football out west. No one cares.

He should have been doing that to John Chavis.

We're talking theory now. Would it really have mattered? I'm just saying in every replay I have seen I have not viewed a 100% block in the back from any Cal player.

I'll blame an offical before most but the reason he returned that punt was because, as I think GAVol put it, it looked like Middle Schoolers trying to get at him.

bottom line is, cal won because of a bad defensive effort on our part. thats all that matters. even if the game were to go to OT, we would have probably arm tackled our way to a Cal victory. sad, but true.

Yeah, I've got to think that the Cal defense, although it wasn't great, would have eventually found a way to stop the two passing routes we were running.

UT could easily have lost that Florida game by 3 TDs. The fact that we put up any points at all with our pathetic O-line against their NFL All Star line is astounding. Running the clock out in the fourth quarter was our only hope. Having Ainge continue to air it out would result in an interception or maybe a fumble return for a TD, a la the first drive against Cal.

We ran down the clock, gained -11 yards on the ground and lost a double digit lead in the process. Getting sacked is one of the risks you take everytime you call up a pass play. Conservative playcalling and playing not to lose mentality is what cost us that game. Barely throwing the ball anywhere downfield Saturday when the game was on the line cost us a chance to get back in the game (not necessarily win the game, but get back in it) on Saturday.

If we play not to lose (i.e. 2006 Florida) or throw away any chance of threatening Florida downfield, we have very little chance of making it a game in Gainseville.

You’re completely full of it and you know it. To be perfectly honest it seems like you have some real hate for Cal, despite your claims that you went there or something? The yell leader wouldn’t shut up and half the fans had no idea what was going on. Sometimes fans get caught up in the moment and don’t see what is going on. You are sore loser, you try to make it sound like they were chanting because he was injured or something. Shame on you for trying to make people think of Cal fans that way, when it clearly didn’t happen like that.

Oh and classless? Which one of you hired the plane to fly overhead with that banner?!?

Go watch the link I made from youtube. TWO blocks in the back.

If you get your arms in front of the guy you are blocking, no ref on the planet is going to call you for blocking in the back, in both of the grabs you have the blockers have their elblows out in front of the guy they are blocking. I can read their numbers, if i can read their numbers how can it be in their back? It is perfectly legal to come in fron the back, as long as the body contact is not made to the back if you freeze your clip at 31 seconds you will see the first block at a different angle and the blockers helmet is covering the front numbers of the fellow he blocks.

Let me make a last point please
with the action as fast as it is on a punt return if the official (who is standing right there) sees not one not two but 3 UT defenders go down face first that would make a official NORMALLY throw the flag and it didnt happen. I say we get Bob Stoops on the case...lol

My head is going to start hurting on this whole "Clip-gate 2007"

DeSean Jackson is good. Deal with it.

I think maybe a lot of people didn't watch the UT-Cal game in 2006. I heard a lot of talk about Cal "coming back and making it a game." Clearly they didn't really do that and anyone that watched the game would understand. The game was over in the third quarter and from then on out the Bears scrimmaged our third string. Hopefully, not too many people saw the 2007 Vols get totally pushed around on special teams. I mean losing is never good, but the way our guys got blocked on special teams and Cal's running plays was humiliating.

Great comeback from somebody that can't discredit anything I said about Cutcliffe and how he handled last year's Florida game or this Saturday's Cal game. Your defense of Cutcliffe is weak.

Go to bed...
