Dooley's 2012 SEC Media Day quote

[BigMacTN]

“I know the SEC has enjoyed taking advantage of our tough times,” Dooley said. “But there’s a nice mood on our team right now that you’re not going to have Tennessee to kick around anymore.”

He was talking about Our Basketball team!

He needs to prove it first. A "W" over Troy isn't going to cut it.

He was talking about the 2013 season

I think he was referring to when the new coach comes in

“I know the SEC has enjoyed taking advantage of our tough times,” Dooley said. “But there’s a nice mood on our team right now that you’re not going to have Tennessee to kick around anymore.”

If you think about it, maybe Dooley was making an obscure reference to the fact that the other SEC teams wouldn't have to kick (field goals) against us any more.

They will just score TDs.

I am a-feared Coach Dooley may be paraphrasing Dick Nixon again come December, only this time about himself.

He's right. You kick a dog to get it out of your trash. What the SEC has done to us has been nothing less than a felony.

 

[rnouredd]

Sounded cool when he said it at least.

 

[99gator]

he was right. you can't kick tennessee around anymore.

the defense just moves right out of your way

Gee I had forgotten all about that until the 26 other threads started on the same topic

Other than Bama who has "kicked Tennessee around"? He didn't say we were going to win them all, he said we would not get kicked around. We have been competitive, much more so than last year.

There's other stuff to get on DD for but don't misstate just to throw a few barbs his way.

 

[Catbone]

He just needs more time.

Florida kicked us around the 4th quarter. Georgia scored 51 and kicked our offense around the 4th quarter. Msu kicked us around the 1st half and 4th quarter. Heck, Troy kicked us around on the 99 offensive plays they ran. Seriously...

Dooley was fooled by our good offense thinking that's what made the D look bad in practice.

Have we, or have we not, been more competitive in SEC games this year?

So you get to pick and chose bits and pieces of when a team gets kicked around? We kicked Georgia's defense around after the first ten minutes. We kicked MState's defense around after the first quarter. You ignored South Carolina completely.
