Such a bunch of bs to throw all the older guys in one big DD cesspool and act like they aren't giving enought effort. Gtfo out of here with that negative bs about these kids!

Just sick and tired of posters acting as if they know that all or most of DDs recruits are non workers!! It's complete bs and a lack of showing respect to a group of kids that deserve better

I must have missed the post where posters said that 'all' upperclassmen were non-working DD cesspool dwellers. I saw a couple of posts that said there were 'some' upperclassmen that could learn from Cory Vereen...which I would lay odds that Butch would actually agree with. Relax dude. This is the recruiting side of the house where most of us are 'half-full guys'.

The operative word was 'some' Bruin. And again, Butch himself has alluded to the fact that not everyone is as committed to the work ethic he wants...and when he or anyone else on the coaching staff singles out a player as an example of what he wants it can be assumed that he is doing so both to reward that player...and spur others toward the same behavior.

Again...relax.

I'll allow butch mode on the BB post...that's definitely in poor form. I don't think the problem is as systemic as you suggest though.

After dealing with all types of people through over 40 years of my adult life I have learned that people have to EARN respect, you can't just give it to them because someone thinks they deserve it. This doesn't apply to just sports, it applys to all aspects of life. I also believe that people become leaders, they can't be named by someone, and leaders will always be surrounded by and respected by their followers.

I have seen no reason whatsoever to question the older guys in getting behind CBJ and giving their all for Tennessee. No reason at all for them to be criticized for their dedication as a group.

More on UT/UGA kickoff:

"With CBS utilizing its six-day window (I believe the network gets two of those per season), the Vols either will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on CBS or 7 p.m. on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.

If UGA beats LSU, look for Vols-Dogs to be the CBS game. If LSU wins, that could likely send the Vols to the 7 p.m. time slot.

Nothing official, but that's when it has been unofficially indicated the Vols could wear the Smokey Gray uniforms for that UGA contest."

Go LSU, I love the 7 pm time slot.

I think that many here are surprised that our team is not as talented as we thought and are struggling to convince themselves it isn't a problem going forward. DD's ability to evaluate talent is obviously questionable, so there is a tendency to feel that everything he touched was tainted. It's not true...CP is a great example...but fears are rarely rational. The more mature among us should demonstrate that fact by choosing a more unifying tone...if possible.

Questioning talent is plenty fair but that's not what's been discussed here.

I do apologize for my earlier post... I let the hate flow through me and negavol flew out of my hands. I realize our upperclassman care. I know many think our line is failing, but if you have watched, their are always holes for the running backs, but they just don't seem to hit them. I do wonder if Tiny leaves this year as he hasn't seemed as good. I would be all for him staying another year

I'll pass on someone that struggled to find playing time for Kansas this year, I mean I could understand if he was an ILB and couldn't pass Ben Heeney but that is not the case. Kansas was looking for a DT to come in and step up right away and he didn't.

True, but with his offer list and status as the #1 JUCO when he committed to Kansas, I'd have to think the talent is there.

I'd take just about anyone with a lick of potential at DT right now.
