Desmond Howard can suck it

[Sara Clark]

He’s actually factually correct. Since the 2001 SEC Championship loss...

Change my mind with FACTS!

To say we've not been good since 2001 is intellectually incorrect, unless 10-3 and 10-4 teams are considered bad. 10-3 twice, 10-4 once.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

He just said the vols haven't been good since 2001.

 

[peaygolf]

2004.

lost 3..but decent.

10 wins is good. Sure he meant "good" as a real contender.

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

This is another example of shooting the messenger. What he said is basically correct. We may not like it; but, sadly, it's our reality.

It was not just coaching. The failures started at the top and filtered down through the entire structure. Poor management and planning. Fulmer seems to have a vision for the way ahead. Good thing is that he is a football guy. He should have an idea of how to fix things.

“I’m going with UAB because Tennessee.”

What a tool.

Lol he wouldn’t even stick with that and officially picked Tennessee.

Was hoping austin idol and tommy rich would show up, pull him out of the batmobile, and then go after howard. Ha

I seem to recall the Vols stomping a mud hole in Michigan’s ass that year

I saw Handsome Jimmy holding up a MEMPHO BABY sign in the crowd!

That’s retro gold my friend

 

[Cartervol]

Has rarely said anything positive about Tennessee. I don't value his opinion though. Doesn't bring much to the gameday show either.

 

[TrentVol]

Haven't watched Gameday since they took us out of the intro

No its not, no it isnt and no its not.

Yadda yadda yadda....

Well, the words “intellectual” and “Desmond Howard” are rarely used in the same sentence.

It would have been nice if Bill Dundee had showed up also

If he said that we haven't been "good" since 2001? He is dead wrong. We were good in 2004. If he said that we haven't been "great" since 2001, I might concede the point. There seems to be a discrepancy in the reporting of what he actually said. I wasn't watching.

 

[GordonC]

Yes. But which side would he have chosen? That would be the big question. Ha

 

[FrankenVol54]

I have to cover my ears when Dez speaks. He sounds like he forgets to breath when he speaks and it irks me to no end. I also think that this lack of oxygen intake has burned quite a few brain cells. Agree with others that he doesn't add much of anything to Gameday.

 

[UTwild82]

I love being a Tennessee fan. When we aren't good at football we always have conspiracies of how everyone is out to get us and amazing coaching searches to keep us entertained.

 

[tennrich1]

I like Jerry the King. I really do. But there are several people they could have chosen in my opinion to represent Memphis. Just use your imagination for 10 seconds and you could name several yourself. I just saw the last 5 minutes and was stunned to see Jerry up there.

Out of 18 seasons....that's not 'good'
That's not even close. It barely even qualifies for mediocre.

Would you take the results of the last 18 seasons for the NEXT 18 year? I'd say not a one of you would be even reasonably happy.

 

[MR_VOL]

Howard + ESPN + Michigan = Piece of Sh!t

 

[vols72]

45-17 in 2001 over his Michigan Wolverines if
I recall.

Cool story moment.
This was my daughter's first game she watched. It was the day after she was born, in my lap wrapped in a Tennessee blanket still in the hospital. She still likes watching games with me

 

[thehill98]

Even then we backed into the Championship game and finished 10-4 and 6-2 in conference

I don’t understand why anyone says we backed into a championship game, like some kind of apology because we made it. We won our way there just like everyone else, not like we went because another team was on probation or something. We happened to win the right games, it happens with any team that makes it that isn’t undefeated. You could say LSU backed their way in too. We lost the 2003 appearance because of the tiebreaker, so this helped make up for it a little bit.
