I agree with you Hat. The only thing more dissappointing than this loss is continuing to see how many fans are OK with this mediocrity.

If it weren't for these two guys, we wouldn't have been in the SEC.

Fulmer could be blamed for not coaching his receivers down field. Ainge after his drops just has option routes, and no receiver is good enough yet to make the proper reads (like the 4th down call)

Ainge is a fine QB, and yes he through the 2 ints late, and it hurt our chances, but he wasn't able to move the ball at will because Cutliffe did not give this unite time and plays to make the proper reads.

Eric Ainge is talking about the game on the PG show. "Turnovers at the end cost us the game" He admitted he was to blame. Well, duh! He said he'd remember it for a long time to come. Yeah, so will we!

And played in the Rose Bowl last year.....yet he gets pushed out. How much longer does Phil get to stay on by "winning the East"..... whatever that means.

Been Vols fan for 37 years.
Don't do the forum thing, but geez I ruined a good Vols cap tonight.

Erik has been the most painful QB to watch in nearly all those years.

I know all the Vols coaches and players showed up to win and Erik well you seen it he lost the game.

At one time the annoucer said he was accurate and said he was kinda like a Peyton.

I nearly threw a Vols coffee mug thru my 47" tv.

I'm so glad I only have one more game to watch with Erik as a Vol.

Dark days ahead if we don't get a QB, I don't see one on roster for next year.
hope the recruiter find one.

geez number 10 screw'd us all, all by himself.

The defense held LSU to 14 points. That's impressive.

On offense, 14 pts won't win a lot games, especially a championship game. Bottome line, the offense didn't play well enough to win.

Ainge=Clausen without the all-time #2 QB stats. Game was sealed. Seniors should not make consecutive game ending bad reads. For all the Clausen bashers, EA should be minced meat. I like EA, but after 4 years he was no CC.

I think we are in need of a new method to track QB stats....Eric did set a record for completions, but the impact of those completions are questionable. So we need to have an impact factor rating, and we sould see Ainge was mid-level at best.

As well, the killer impact was not so strong, if you give him 3 chances to beat you he could....two or less chances and you got him.

I faithfully held out till seasons end to pass judgement just to see how things played out. I've leaned towards change along the way as I was OK with CPF to a certain degree, while also realizing he has not coached up the talent we've had. And CDC has had minimal impact, and this was the only real defensive performance of the year for JC. {Allbeit with alot of LSU starters sidelined, and we still could not win}. Bottom line, the raise and extension were unwarranted and premature.

An still somehow conning raises and extensions out of them too. Man it must be great to be phil. As you famously stated hat "the prince of peach bowls". That title is well deserved by the way.

Ainge was average as a QB. His 05 year was terrible. Last year was good and he was made to look good by the presence of Robert Meachem. This year was very disappointing. He might do well in the NFL, but for the University of Tennessee he has done NOTHING.

Not happy about tonight or the season in general, but I would bet he did more than YOU.:blink:

To all you Ainge apologists, exactly what did LSU show you on offense that made you think that they would have scored again if not for the pick 6?

When you play great, you don't lose to a team with a backup QB.

A back-up QB who can't run well because of a thigh bruise and can't throw well because of a cut on the finger of his throwing hand. That game was gift wrapped to UT and UT blew it.

Dude? Bottom line...Ainge can't handle pressure. Even perceived pressure. He looked great against weak teams, but against teams that apply any amount of pressure or blitz, he couldn't do anything. I understand a throw away is better than a sack (4 all year) but those happy feet throw aways also contributed to 2 interceptions tonight. He was supposed to be a senior leader. Didn't see it tonight.

Not to mention the starting QB out, Dorsey out, Doucet put out, Holliday put out, and other starters who were out. And an LSU game plan that effectively removed Hester from any lasting impact as the game developed. The one major stud in the league. And all the wrong distraction for that team this week, culminating in bonehead Herbstreet announcing his sealed deal that Miles effectively withdrew upon Michigan's inability to honor the silence. This game was handed to us before we even left the locker room.

Ainge has some terrible reads tonight. You expect more from a senior QB. Compare that to the way Casey Clausen played in the 4th quarter of games.
