We're getting recruits just fine. Since this is obviously your first or second year following college football, let me reassure you:

These things go in cycles.

I've been through the ups and downs through Tennessee football for quite some time, and I can tell you one thing: people are never happy. No matter if we are 11&1 with a lost to Florida, or 5&7 like we are now. People will always find something to complain about.

Should be throat punched for the stupid post. Oh hell, lets toss in a double throat punch just for good measure. On second thought,,,double throat punch and a knee to the love knuckle just to see if the OP has b##ls enough to hang around after such a stupid post.

You seem to have more fight in you than the football team. Can you play against Kenfuky next year?

Nope. 40 years past my playing days. But if someone asked me to suit up against 'bama,,hell yes,,it would be worth it. Kentucky is irrelevant.

You Dooley sheep believe you cant talk Tennessee football unless it is positive. Well guess what? There is nothing positive about the Dooley regime. We are losing coaches faster than he can hire them. We lost another player! We just came off the worst season in my memory. Nothing indicates it will get better! Vol fans that are concerned about the state of the program are not Trolls or Negavols! Get over yourself!

I have had time to re-think my earlier post, and I now believe I owe a deep and tearful apology.... It is clear that I did not think this through very well, that happens when you reach a certain age, and I am truly sorry.

To all the Trolls who visit Volnation from time to time, I am truly and deeply SORRY.... I know how much I must have offended you for comparing the OP to you, and I hope you will accept my regrets

Coastypop Himself...........:crazy:

Exactly. Fans were not happy with 152-52. It wasnt good enough because of the struggles against Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, anyone can beat them. I told dad the morning after the NC game, that nothing will ever be good enough again except national titles. 11-1 next year will thrill to death most of us but, if we lose to Bama, I'll guarandamntee you that there will be a thread on here titled "Will we ever beat Bama again?" or something of the sort. Tennessee football is not dead, its like someone said earlier, its our turn. It's nothing that Bama, Michigan, Notre Dame , FSU, Miami, etc. havent went through. Enjoy the ride back, GBO.

Really? You can't even remember back to 2008? It must be as I figured...the Dooley haters are simply kids who haven't been following football very long.

5-7 in 2008, gumby. And as it was against a much lower-strength schedule,

That's not the case and you know it. I, as well as most of the other "Dooley sheep" as you call us, can abide by decent discussion. However, when you get the rampant amount of end-times prophecies from "Vol fans" (and I use that term VERY loosely) such as yourself, it tends to :censored: us off, leading to tirades, arguments, and name calling. It also leads to a schism between the ranks that is probably at this point irreparable.

There's not?? Name the last time a player's been arrested. Name the last time a player's had a "me first" attitude (I'll even be nice, make it easy, and give you Arnett.....even though that was due to his father.) We have a SOLID top-10 recruiting class coming in that's FINALLY going to provide us with some much-needed depth (but that's not going to be good enough, either, y'all chicken littles are always going to say "we'll never beat Bama, UGA, or USCe with these crappy recruiting classes......boo hoo waaaah).

These things happen. But for argument's sake, allow me to put you in a situation. You're from Knoxville. Say you find a job in Dallas that pays you pretty well, and you like it a lot, and you're :censored: good at it. You wish you had more to work with, but it's a problem that's getting fixed. However, before all the pieces are back together for you to be able to really show what you can do, you get a quite lucrative job offer from a company back in Knoxville that's gonna pay you more and allow you more time with your family. Which do YOU take?? It's just a shame that some of us that are Vol fans seem to be able to complain about anything and everything. All last year, all you heard was "Wilcox's defense sucks, he should be fired, this guy ain't worth the powder to blow him to :censored: "........but he leaves, and all of a sudden Tennessee football as a whole is in the toilet, we'll never win another game. These things happen, man.

Matt Milton, who hadn't seen the field in the two years he was here, and probably wasn't going to see the field the rest of the time he was here. Big kid, had the look of a decent WR, just couldn't catch a cold in -20 degree weather. I had high hopes for him as well, it would have been nice to have 6'4" plus bookend WR's, but it just didn't happen that way. Look at it as addition by subtraction.

Thankfully, you put "in my memory". Personally, I'm not the one to handle this question, but I'm sure one of the "seasoned" Vol fans that can remember the '50s, '60s, or '70s can step in here and let you know that it's been worse.

Then you can't see the forest for the trees. Seriously. Some people would :censored: if you hung 'em with a new rope.

:eek:k: We'll get right on that. However, when we DO start winning games, we don't want you around saying "I supported this team all along", because you didn't. Look at it this way. Someone that makes a metric :censored: -load more money than I do looked at the situation set in front of them and said "you know what, this Dooley fella down at LaTech is the only one that's willing to take the job (because contrary to popular belief, you can't just throw money at people and expect them to sign the dotted line.....if I was a coach, there ain't enough money in this WORLD that would get me to work at Bama....just saying), let's give him a shot. There was a list of candidates that the higher-ups wanted, and when those candidates decided that they didn't want to be at Tennessee, they took the one guy that WANTED to be here. I'm sorry that I'd MUCH rather have a coach that WANTS to coach for the University of Tennessee, rather than one that's going to bolt as soon as his contract expires (which is exactly what you'd get by throwing money at a big-name hire).



I believe that that's game, set, and match.

1) Rogers
2) ok explain Baggett bailing out
3) you mean HAD a top 10 class before the KY game
4) no, it's never been worse
5) ask bama if shelling out money to Saban was worth it
6) that's just a dumb statement with no basis whatsoever

But keep on drinking that Dool Aid!!!
