It's sad that Fulmer couldn't do more with the talent he had. He had elite talent, top 15 talent over the past 4-5 years, but his type of coaching was ineffective. We haven't only had top 25 classes, Last year we had the #12 class, 3 years ago the #6 class. This year we only have 8 seniors, so this class doesn't need to be as overwhelming.

Who is this Fulmer you speak of?

We have Coach Lane Kiffin now.

Name 14 teams who had consistent better recruiting classes over those years. There are only 13 teams who have been consistently in the top 25 the last 5 years. South Carolina is one of them, Tennessee missed one year (they were 35). The talent was there to win, they just didn't. Plus you have over the course of the last 5 years you have had 3 top 10 classes. The #3, #4, and #10 classes, so to say the talent wasn't there, would be false.

First off, I'm not friends with any "chicken" lover.
No offense, it's just not me.


Second, Lane will make Tennessee a powerhouse again in the next few years, and with Monte declaring today that he will not retire anytime soon, I look for the defense to continue to be excellent. Lane has took our offense from 115th last year to in the top 35 this year.

recruiting calls ranking != talented team. If we were recruiting so well why do we have no backup qb, two 270lb walkons on the OL and at one at MLB (now hurt) and are starting a bunch of true freshmen. You are talking about something you don't understand and are really making a mess out of it

I thought you had some walk ons because Kiffin dismissed people? I def. understand, Spurrier did the same thing with us when he got here. In fact he dismissed Demetris Summers (#1 RB out of High School, Reggie Bush was #2). We have injuries too, we are down two starters up the middle, but our recruiting has been solid, so we have very dependable back ups. Fulmer had the players, he just didn't have the system any more.

since you have no clue I'm done. You will find very, very few UT fans who agree with you. He left a mess

he started going for stars instead of needs. It looked pretty but was ugly underneath

No. He might have, but lack of accountability in every aspect of a collegiate athlete's existence destroyed much of that talent in sundry ways.

Gotta love it when a USCocks fan uses a Spurrier quote that followed Tennessee's consecutive trips to the Citrus Bowl following the '95 (11-1, Final AP Poll #2) and '96 (10-2, Final AP Poll#9) seasons.

That's the best you can do? 12 year old Spurrier quotes.

:thumbsup:

The fact is, Holtz was more succesful (back to back Outback Bowls) at USCjr than Spurrier. I predict a quick exit for Steve after the 2009 second half collapse.

I wonder if Spurrier will end up joining Dr. Lou's practice...hmmm Dr. Steve?

Nah

Man I can't think of a 3-4 team ANY better than this Tennessee team. They have the greatest offense ever and the defense to go with it. How are they not undefeated?

Garcia has had 4 INT's all year. Not sure on the fumbles but that's 6 less than JC. Our run game is decent but easily shutdown so I do worry about that. Contrary to your belief, this will be a football game. Not a slaughter.

I don't think our offense is quite that good. I'd say more like sporadic. I'm waitng for the "REAL CROMPTON" to step forward. As far as defense, UT has had a very good defense just about every year.
Can't wait until 2010 and 2011. We have Oregon on the schedulle next season. That'll be a tough game.
UT-Martin should be like a Western Kentucky. Of course I can remember when the Hilltoppers were a top 10 team as Div 1-AA.

Prediction for Saturday at Neyland: Vols 21, SC 14! I want the 'ol ball coach' to go back to Columbia with a "L!"

Well, you might relax your white-knuckle death grip on last year's souvenir program, because none of it applies this weekend. Living in the past aint gonna help Garcia against Monte's D.

Which is why Fulmer was shown the door.

Delusional?? You have to be kidding me Bammer. I'll try to type slow so you can follow... UT outplayed...
Outcoached...
Outhustled...
Outgained...
And
Outclaased

your precious team of cheaters last Saturday. I was at the game and if you don't think that win was a gift, you're more delusional than any UT fan that has ever posted on this board.

Why ARE you here? I'll tell you. Your tiny ego matches that of your tiny coach and instead of accepting the truth of the situation, you come here to try to make yourself feel better.

Now, Bite Me.
