for what it is. there will be time during the entire off season to debate and discuss the future and the staff etc....
and there will be plenty to look at from this game. far from perfect, but just like last week.........don't tell me how you get there.........Just Get There.
Seeing as how it is college football and college students playing the games......i think this game should be and will be remembered as how a team never gave up. a team that made plays when it had to. a team that got contributions from so many different people, it exemplifies the word "team".
I went thru a two hour coronary yesterday afternoon, during which i cursed the souls of all the coaches, the fans, my wife, you name it.........i'm sure many of you were right there with me. but at the end of the day.......all grins.
But after the game as several of the players were walkikng off the field they all said the same thing...."we're just happy". everyone was smiling. everyone proud. everyone celebrating.
that's how i want this to be remembered. and when you really think about it, what this team has done the past 4 weeks has been remarkable. they've basically been in a single elimination playoff. win and advance, and they've done that.
so i contend that this should be about the players that simply didn't give up on a game when it seemed that it was over (think about the plays made in the 4th and in the OT's......it really is quite something they saved it that many times), and moreover, they didn't give up on a season when it seemed they had nothing left to play for after the Bama game. And why do you credit the players? because they bought in to what the coaches told them all season long. in the past few years we've seen more talented teams quit on games and seasons. but not this one. and not these coaches. i'm not back on the CPF bandwaggon (there was a reason why i was going thru that coronary afterall) but you have to give him credit. in a season that has been so up and down, he's finished on top, and at the end of the day, as many of say.....you are what your record says you are.
and ours says SEC East Division Winners.
i know it's cliche to talk about it, but it applies here. resiliancy. they have it. and i'm glad for it.
so as i sit here on Sunday morning after a hell of a Saturday afternoon, i sit here with a smile on my face, and making arrangements for an SEC title game party at the house!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to the 2007 Tennessee Volunteers.
Go Vols!!!! Beat LSU!!!!
