Sometimes NOT pulling the trigger is the greater risk

[ClockworkOrange]

Shakespeare nailed it 421 years ago in Julius Caesar:

"There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures."

I feel we have entered that territory yet again. We wait and wait and wait while other teams take action before we can finally load our pop gun...

In spite of what some folks say, I think UT fans have been incredibly patient.

Another Shakespeare quote, and I don't know if he was speaking of VN or not:

"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."

"all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries. " This accurately describes my UT Football fan voyage and journey.

STICKY THIS PLEASE.
some that miss it will not believe it happened

I got some Shakespeare for you:

There was a coach named Pruitt
Who didn't know how to do it.
He lost his team
And the fans did scream
Til he finally gave up and said screw it.

Not sure, may have been Robert Browning.

Vols football and its coaching, nothing more than a modern-day Greek Tragedy!

notice who is the foundation of that pyramid of shame. I'd rather have Dooley back, with Dave Clawson as OC and Sunseri as DC. At least then there'd be some explanation for the suckfest.

I quoted Shakespeare once when I said there's something rotten in Denmark about the 2017 coaching hire. The guy with the elephant ass avatar quoting Shakespeare.

3 years later, things are still rotten.

He’ll be alright. Unlike Brutus he’s getting like 12m parting gift...thanks to our idiot of an ad.

Our 8 game winning streak was filled with luck and some bad football teams, but you had to question the positivity it seemed to generate. Indiana was the most impressive win in the streak. Covid hit and was a perfect storm for excuses, but the team seemed to be a cohesive group which is a product of winning, most of the time. That cohesiveness is probably gone because the team seems to lack leaders. Your QB is usually the leader on offense but it is impossible with our squad. QB play drives your team, and ours is not capable of it. Pruitt has failed his team by continuing to stay with JG. It looks like 2-8 is our fate unless Pruitt can pull a rabbit out of his hat!

GO VOLS!!!

I'll give anybody a like for quoting Shakespeare on here.

The bard sayeth:

To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.

And he counsels also:

How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

But perhaps most fitting to Volunteer Nation today:

Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.

-- William Shakespeare (bolded lines)

To fire or not to fire, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous blowout losses, or to end it all woth a bare pink slip.

Muschamp was 28-30 at South Carolina.

Assuming UT finishes their remaining schedule with 1 win (Vandy) and 3 losses (Auburn, aTm, UF), Pruitt will finish the season with a 16-19 career record at Tennessee. Very Muschampesque.
