Sorry guys, there are no excuses. UCLA was a 6-7 team that returned 9 starters, then lost some of them, plus played a 3rd string QB and 2nd string RB, had 4 INTs in the first half, and we were running the football on them (their biggest strength was rush D, and we beat it).

We travelled across country last year, so this wasn't anything new.

The team was not prepared and we have some horrible horrible coaching.

It was their home field advantage. That's the ticket. Wait, UCLA has one of the worst home field advantages in major college football.

I am just stuned. I dont know how you can lose a game when the other team throws 4 INTs.. I will always support the vols but they really need to figure something out.
I am thinking the vols should win vs uab but then against florida. Things could get really ugly.

And what is a definition of insanity? Doing things exactly the same way over and over again yet expecting different outcomes......

Godfatha, you r absolutely correct.... Alot of fans have been saying this for years, but it really is time for a change. All the big boys in the sec have seen the light and made moves during the last few years. They r on the way up...And we are on the way down... It is time for a new regime. A new coach. A new era.

Soooooo....I guess THIS was why no one in the media was talking about us, or giving this team any respect. Now I get it.

I guess it's time we took our orange tinted glasses off and really look at this team.
I hated how much our offense sputtered.
I hated Crompton telegraphing where he was throwing and when he was handing off.

Sigh --> I'm in melt down mode :ill_h4h:

:horse:

Gentlemen, I used to have 12 season tickets....and now 0. Tonight's performance is why. Very, very disappointed. As I posted in another thread---"fumblin Foster + outcoached = loss to inferior team. Pathetic.

We need to abandon California all together (not saying thats why we lost, but damn 2 years in a row) its bad, very bad.


I have tried to be positive and optimistic every year, but this makes me sick to my stomach.

Folks, we are in serious trouble. I don't think Crompton has what it takes to be a starter in the SEC. He can't complete a pass. He short hopped so many passes tonight I lost count. The offensive line was also owned tonight. It's going to be a long year for us. The SEC teams are going to eat our lunch. Not going to be fun listening to sports talk in the morning. :(

Not to worry. Mickey Dearstone will sugar coat it with his infinite knowledge.

The spin will be that the defense shut down the run and achieved that goal. You can already hear it on the Vol radio network.....

I dont deny that we didnt finish this game like we should have. but the missed "illegal man downfield" penalty toward the end of regulation was extremely crucial. not to mention the safety that i felt we should have had. Did anyone else kind of feel like we got screwed? Either way we should have dominated this team though.

IMHO UT lost this game. The officals played no role in this game.

UCLA throws 4 ints in the first half and we only go into half time up 7???

UCLA wanted it more and had better coaching. The coaching staff at UCLA kept a kids head in the game after he threw 4 ints..... could anyone on UTs coaching staff have done that?

I don't care if it's just emotion talking there was no excuse for what we just witnessed. None. And now how smart does the raise look?

I'm telling you, if we get blown out by Florida, then he should go. he probably should anyway.

We will finish the season with wins against Vandy and Kentucky (hopefully) and the fools that support Fulmer will forget all about the way we played the rest of the year.

Bingo. We have a large portion of the fanbase who are going to defend the incompetent, pious, Bible thumping imbecile. Tonight proved he's garbage. However, many refuse to see.

We should totally start playing cupcakes out of conference so we can live under the illusion that we are a good team.

I'm TIRED of being a Vol fan. Life long, I'll always be curious, but I'm embarrassed for thinking we'd surprise some teams this year and then being vocal about it. That's it......thanx Phil and Chavis...it's hard to kill a fan like me, but you've done it

Now does everyone understand why Ainge was starting last year when everyone was crying about how Cromptons should have been starting???

As in the Titans, Sometimes you just have to cut sa man. What does Fulmer have that continues to keep him in good graces with the powers at UT? This is the same old crap that has been going on forever at UT.
When will we get a coach that can play and beat a team with less talent rather that loose with better talant? Well after our performance today, I seriously doubt we have better talent.
