You did what you should. What made matters worse (or funnier, depending on your perspective) was that I was trying to be a wisenheimer.

Settle in. I think we fans are going to have to wander the desert for more than this season before there is change.

This season looks like 6-6 to me. I've written in the past few weeks that fan apathy may rise to the level that would force the hand of the powers that be. I just don't think so right now.

I think that, short of losing control of the team, Fulmer has been given this season. Given the lumps, in order to settle a QB situation and fully install Clawson at Tennessee.

And you know what, Vol football will probably look much better next season. That means the Fulmer era will continue.... and continue...

So, I will just keep my mouth shut and suffer the slings and arrows of irrelevence. Secure in the painful knowledge that change is a good thing sometimes. Just not at Tennessee.

This is the worst I've ever felt about the state of my Volunteer football program. Yeah, it's still mine. Always will be. But it ain't no fun out here wandering in the desert.

That contract signed by UT last year after a mediocre season will end up costing $5.5 million cash in bailout money, which they probably don't want to spend right now, especially since a new "Saban type" coach will cost $4 mil + per year.

There are a lot of mixed metaphors in this thread. Being a Tennessee fan right now is a lesson in humility.

Fortunately for me, all of my friends and acquaintances are either Big XII fans who have no interest or reason to rub salt in my wounds or they see the anguish on my face when we talk football and fear that I may snap and kill someone. Either way, it could be worse for me.

An unpublished poem by Kenneth Beaudin, given me in 1976:

"Miles and smiles and metaphors
that lead to the tower,
that dark and lonely tower
where many a man has lost his head."

In any and every situation there are two choices, one can whine and complain about how bad things are or one can be thankful for the good things and that things are not even worse.

This is always and universally true except if either one of the two absolutes are reached, ie; perfection, everyone is completely happy with everything....... or complete nothingness, there is absolutely nothing to be happy, sad, mad or glad about.

Some of us certainly need some lessons in humility and that we are getting one makes me happy, not as happy perhaps as if we were 4/0 and running teams off the field.

Give me a break. That's a sure-fire recipe for mediocrity.

There's a third option - Man up, and take the necessary measures to improve.

I bet this thread would get a lot more notice if more of our members knew what the word capitulate meant.

I understand O&W=H is surrendering, not sure of the fixed terms.

If only one fan has abandoned the lynch mob, that's an improvement.

C'est la vie, (goes to show, you never can tell)

You would know about mediocrity from experience or theory???

My conjecture was based on the fact that some have already manned up, where do you stand??

I now understand the folly of my belief that another poor to middling season on the field could be a reason to affect change in the appropriate place. I must live with what I see before me. So be it.


But there will come a day...

Johan, I'm going to take that as a compliment, same to you dude. (oh wait, did you mean 'weird'?)

Everything is chance.
