SIAP for any of this.

1) We will be saddled with Bray next year. Wish he would go, but I don't even think he would go in the 3rd round right now. He cost us 7.
2) Hunter has alligator arms and he has lost his hands this year. CJC says he pouts. Hopefully he will be back next year improving his draft stock. He cost us 7.
3) CP is gone at the end of the year.

CJC needs to be gone now. He should have been let go when everyone else left.

Should be 17 - 16 UT right now.

JMO, TIFWIW, GBO!!!

It seems to be confirmed that Hunter is simply waiting his time to get in the NFL. BENCH HIS ARSE!!

He is playing himself down one round at a time. Every game he plays he drops a little further. Appears to be a mental basket case.

It's pretty obvious Dooley didn't want to use the timeouts and end up going 3 and out leaving enough time for Bama to score. They got the shot they wanted, Hunter blew it. Running out the clock made sense after that.

They played that entire series with the purpose of connecting on one long pass with 30 seconds left. If Hunter had caught it, 30 secs and 2 timeouts would have been plenty to score.

Against your rival? No way do you leave those timeouts on the table when you are within striking distance. That's the problem, we seem to only want to score on deep bombs and nothing else that takes a little skill and coaching.

You can blame our fanbase.

Firing Fulmer has relegated us to being a 2nd tier program.

All you Fulmer haters need to look at what you did.

Get real. Fulmer had losing records two of his last three seasons. The league passed him by and without Cutcliffe he was lost.

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, and watching TN football on Sat. and Dallas on Sunday is almost the exact same thing...frustrating as hell

 

[rocktopper16]

Fitting username.

I'm wondering- did you watch Tennessee football last season with Tyler Bray sidelined?

I guess playing the number one defense in country doesn't matter. Smh.. People on here tonight are trolling hard bro

 

[Thunndarr]

you keep telling yourself that

Let's put it this way...How many long drives have we had this game? You think the coaching staff suddenly thinks they can move the ball at will with 1:30 left when the couldn't the previous 28:30? They were gambling on getting one long play in, and they did. They didn't want to have to punt with enough time for Bama to score. If you can't understand something that simple, I can't help you.

 

[Blackburn]

That call was brought to you by Chaney and the letter L.

L for Loser

 

[Vols4life]

my only guess not using the TO's is cause bama had some left and he didn't want to leave any time left for them before the half...thats all I got and I still cannot believe hunter dropped that ball

 

[governmentmule]

SOOOMMMEEEWWWHHHEEERREEE over the DWAYNEE BOWWWWWW!!!!

lol:lol:lol:lol:

 

[orange4ever]

Hunter = Washington

Even worse for a chiefs fan. This guy

 

[VOL'N'BALL]

Can someone please tell bray, chaney, or dooley at half how to use tightends

Pretty sure our TE has like 51 yards in the first half....pretty good numbers for a TE. Why dont you try again???

 

[GBO18]

Well if there was ever an opportunity to shake the 2nd half woes and step up, this seems like the perfect place. Let's do it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BadJerry20]

Moore dude from Bama makes Hunter look like a pee wee player.

Cooper? Hunter's mind is already in the draft it's pretty evident. Hopefully CP returns, Pig or Bowles can step up, plus Croom beasting at TE. D better, sh!t I just became the next year guy.

Thanks, Coach Dooley ..

They were planning on the long pass that whole series. If it had connected, they would have used them. Pretty obvious they didn't want to have to punt with a minute left leaving Bama time to score.

 

[LocoVol]

If they're smart they'll bench Justin Hunter for the rest of the season. The guy has dropped too many key passes this season. I know he's a great guy with lots of talent, but his mind is elsewhere. He is not giving it his all by any means.

I'd set him coming out at the half for sure.

 

[JacketVol]

And the coaches didn't give the offense a chance to make another play after the JH drop.

I can agree with that. But, I also saw Ainge get killed vs Notre Dame trying to chunk one at the half. Will never forget that. They will be teeing off on the QB there. But, I would've taken the shot since behind.

 

[hardyemt_p]

bray pass look like shot ducks

 

[bnhunt]

Justin Hunter is a joke!!! How can he be this bad!? How many open passes has he dropped this year? I cannot believe how bad he has been this year.

 

[615vols]

except that I don't think Zach has dropped a pass all season?????

Let me help you. What is/has Zach been known for among volnation? For dropping passes. Not complicated really.

 

[rjd970]

If bama comes out and scores to start the half this game is over fellas.

 

[Thunndarr]

Thanks, Coach Dooley ..

Not my problem that you can't reason it out for yourself.
