I'll play. Name just 2 QBs ahead of him. Start with ones that have 2 national titles and a heisman.

So you think Manning wouldn't have done just as good or better than Tebow had he been on these Florida teams? I happen to love Tebow, I'm just saying.........

Wait.. we're not talking about hypotheticals here. We're talking about what these two guys have actually done and achieved. It may seem like fantasy football when you look at Tebow's stats, but its real.

Are you serious? Are you such a homer that you can't see what is so blatantly obvious? Tebow is the greatest collegiate QB to ever play the game. Sometimes you just have to recognize.

I happen to agree with you. But, just like Simek, even if you believe something, it's sometimes better to keep your damned mouth shut. Kiffin needs to learn this.

And the year he put up those stats the Gators really lost 4 games. Without a solid defense, Tebow is a QB with big numbers and average results.

He's young. Give him a chance. His recruits are responding to him. Once Kiffin has the table set, he'll stop talking because the field will be speaking for him. Give him some leeway.

Well, saying Tebow is the best ever is hypothetical isn't it? Again, I think he is too, but it's just an opinion. I'm just saying, when you are in Rome do as the Romans. When you are in Tennessee, don't slap Vol legends in the face. Especially ones that are trying their best to back you and donating millions of dollars.

Again, I agree with you 100%. I'm just a little scared that Kiffin doesn't realize what a fine line he's walking here. I'm telling you, if this team doesn't make a bowl game this year, and he keeps running his mouth, the natives will be restless, very restless. If he wins, he can pretty much say what he wants to a certain extent. But, if he loses, he better find a way to become humble until the W's start rolling in.

Technically, its an opinion, supported by evidence. I wouldn't worry about our coach praising Tebow. Meyer AND Tebow have had plenty of nice things to say about Eric Berry, including their support for his Heisman race. Do you think Florida fans scoffed at thier comments? No.

That's comparing apples and oranges. You are talking about arguably the most beloved Tennessee player to ever wear Orange in Manning. There's a difference in praising a player and saying he's the best college QB of all time. I'm just saying that I bet a lot of Tennessee fans didn't take to kindly to the comment and I would guess that Manning didn't particularly like it either. It was on the local tricities sports talk radio this morning and people were calling in complaining about it. Not sure if it is even being talked about in Knoxville or not. Just never mind..............

I'm ignorant, huh? That's rich.

Kettle, meet pot. Pot, kettle.

Your hamfisted, generalized statement about anthropology said it all. Why would you make such a statement if you possess sufficient knowledge about anthropology to see its clear application to football (and organized sport in general)?

Football is all about analyzing individual player ability and physical attributes, as well as group (i.e. team) behavior.

Anthropology's basic questions include, "What defines Homo sapiens?" "What are our physical traits?" "How do we behave?"

If you want people to think better of your knowledge base, you probably shouldn't make statements that belie it. Just saying.

All that aside, I still don't see where the Dutchman called Kiffin out. I understand that the TFP writer is trying to present this as controversy, but I just don't think it is contraversial in the least.

True...and I totally forgot about Margaret Mead's extensive studies of SEC football that were published shortly after her return from Samoa. :lolabove:

You made a "hamfisted" statement...period.

If Simek did have a conversation with CLK he should have kept his mouth shut about it and not acknowledged it in the press. That conversation should have stayed in house because it might look to some that he is not completely backing CLK because he made comments to fire up his team. Maybe Simek does not get enough attention and wants to call attention to his position as the UT Big S---!

Ok red herring. You got me.

Jan Simek should be drawn and quartered for speaking his mind to CLK and speaking openly and honestly about academics at UT relative to other schools.

You really weren't embarrased? The University and the SEC had no choice but to shut him up. He was making EVERYONE look like 12-year olds. And if it is only Tennessee haters then EVERYONE must be Tennessee haters.

Kiffin has not made any remarks since signing day. Why do some of you FAIR WEATHER FANS keep referring to these comments like they were made yesterday. you're just like the media, he made a job at his press conference, whoop dee dooo, and then made a mistake about Urban calling a recruit. Get a life and get over it, he hasn't said anything else since February. Move on, and support our coach and our team. It takes time to rebuild a program.

EVEN IF he had been factually correct in calling Meyer a cheater, you just don't do it. It makes the whole conference look like a bunch of school girls. And to be wrong about it on top of that.......

You make them at a booster luncheon all day long. I know context is a stretch for you, but think it through.

So, by your logic, he could have called him a child rapist and that would be ok because it was at a booster luncheon? It obviously was going to get out in the press, regardless of the setting.

Exactly.

He makes those comments at SEC Media Days, or during an ESPN interview, and I'd agree that he's a loose cannon with poor judgment.

He makes those comments while working the crowd at a UT booster event, he's doing what you'd expect him to do.

Still not sure why the trolls and the media can't grasp that.

He can say anything at those. They are private fundraising events. You ever been to one? Ever heard about Fulmer's comments at one?
