Ole Miss played a great game today. But don't get too excited because Bama was looking past Ole Miss to Tennessee. What do you think?

Not so fast . . . Yes, there was an element of looking past Ole Miss, but I think a lot of it was a struggle to find a home run threat with Prothro out.

Welcome to our world.

no such thing "looking ahead" maybe "not looking at your opponents" bama's caught and the vols are going to real em' in.
GO BIG ORANGE!!!

Does this mean that our offense is better than bama's since we scored more on Ole Miss? :D

We have more talent, but the coaching's not there to show it.

Me too, makes for a better game. I'd call next week a "who knows?" could be anyone's game...whoever wants it more.
Heck of a game on ND vs USC...gotta go!

I would not say Bama was looking past Ole Miss...they have struggled against pretty weak competition all year. I have to give them credit for a great effort vs. FLA, but other than that ONE GAME they have not been impressive. But hey, neither has UT.

:snoring: some truth there but it makes next saturdays game sound like two old retired used-to-be's throwing down over a fenceline dispute..as exciting as a community awareness meeting.

The Tide is looking pretty good this year. I would chalk today's effort up to lack of focus and looking ahead.

The VOLS, on the other hand, are a sleeping giant still waiting to perform up to potential. If, miraculously, we find ourselves over this 2 week break and play up to expectations, the VOLS will win. However, we haven't seen the VOLS we expected over the offseason yet, and we're 5 games in.

So, for me, its all about faith. I know that we can do it, just don't know if we will do it.

The Tide certainly doesn't scare us though. We lose, its because we're still underperforming. Our program is still ahead of Alabama's.

If you believe Bamasback12's argument - ABSOLUTELY!

In reality - no but the two offenses probably aren't that far off. Croyle gives the Tide the passing edge but our receivers as a group are more proven. Running game is about dead-even.

What do I think? I think like I always do when UT and BAMA play.

Throw out the records and tighten the chin straps. As far as either team is concerned, both records are 0-0.

IMO you got 2 coaches going in 2 different directions. Shula who really wants to prove himself and secure his job and works very hard.

Fulmer who has been resting on his laurels since winning the NC. Fulmer doesnt have the dedication he had before winning the NC. It shows throughout the program. Hes getting a little arrogant with the fans too. Everything is execution, execution, just trust Phil and the coaching staff. I dont think Fulmer has the motivation to take the team to the next level any more. He got complacent while everyone around him got better.

Agreed. I think his complancency shows in every area of the program. Think about some of the talent that he has been unable to keep the reigns on (Banks, Schaeffer, Brooks). I understand those may just be bad apples, but allowing them to behave like they did screams that the head coach is losing control of his program.

When UT and Bama play it could be the worst of the worst vs. the best of the best. Its the 3rd week in October, anything can happen. I think the sleeping giant of the Big Orange offense awakens this week.

We are SEVEN weeks into a season that was supposed to take us to the NC game, and I still have absolutely no clue about this team. No clue...one of the things that has hurt us BIGTIME is scheduling our biggest tests early on...another is two open dates...we can't get into a rhythm because we are off...off...

Sure, we heal and have time to review and fix...but good lord, when are we going to play some football...week after week?

A week off after both losses...around here, we've been the loser for four weeks...two each time. It's killing me. I want to line up and beat some people. There are teams out there that only have four games left...one less than we have played. So it seems this season is taking forever to just get going...you can't get a groove going if you're off every time you turn around.

All of those players were deciplined several times within the team. They were all given so many chances to do right. Young men can be given a perfect example to follow but the onus is upon the individual to make the right decision. So those three had proper guidiance IMO, they just chose to make the wrong decision. He must continue to stick to his guns and probably tighten the reigns. But once again, this is just one man's opinion.

I understand that these are kids, I just wonder if CPF is stern enough when necessary. It is almost like they do not heed his warnings. I commend him kicking them off of the team, but I still think it puts his lack of control on display. We can agree to disagree, no biggie.

No big deal. I am not in the Vol office so I don't know the full details. He could be a little soft on the players and I would not know. But, I commend him on not showing any favorites, so to speek. You have a valid point, if he is soft, then that might be why we have had so many problems. I just don't have any "proof".

I agree the records make no difference when these 2 square off :ninja:
