How could Dooley be so bad?

[VolnJC]

They weren't ineligible until after they lost to UK.

ineligible as in they were academically ineligible for a bowl game

Ah. Gotcha.

 

[HoptownVol]

Bray was freaking awful against Bama in the 1 1/3 games he played.

Big deal, go away Bamatroll.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I know this isn't going to be popular but I believe there were some players(Bray,Rogers) who knew they were ineligible for a bowl game and tanked it

Yah, I recall that interview where Bray came right out and admitted that they gave up (don't recall at what point in the season, but it was toward the end), him and some of the other players on the team. Flat-out admitted it.

 

[fade route]

Second most prolific offense in the history of UT football. And thats how you remember the guy, as a quitter?

He's a self-admitted quitter.

 

[HoptownVol]

He's a self-admitted quitter.

That Kentucky game is as much on Dooley as it is Bray. I know he tanked, its well known the whole team
just wanted the season to be over. Basically the entire team threw that game, but again, lets pin it all
on one guy. LOL

 

[Escape Goat]

Tyler Bray is my least fav Vol of all time.

 

[SigSaurP228]

Because we didn't score points with our amazing offense. That loss had nothing to do with the d

Are people seriously still wondering about the Dooley years? Talk about a dead and decaying horse

I maybe wrong BUT I think a single 10 win season makes Dooley quietly go away

 

[real orange]

Bray was probably a better qb than Whorley, but who would you rather go to war with.

Over time, with success, it will become less and less a painful memory, and more and more a quaint family joke to laugh about as we look back.

We're not quite to the pain-free era yet.

Exactly.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

Who's this Dooley you speak of??

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

How does a team go from dominance to ****? I dunno, ask Vanderbilt

Vandy has never been dominant.

IN 2012 we averaged 39.5 pts in 4 losses to Georgia, MSU, SC, and Missouri. Offense was not the problem.

short term memory...were you not around for the 22 awesome Vandy machine?

Vandy has more wins that we do over the last 5 years.

I didn't put it all on Bray. Just pointing out that he admitted publicly that he quit before and during the KY game. Bray wasn't speaking for anyone but himself.

Irrelevant.

Arian Foster?

Bray choked the game away against UGA.

and that brings us back to the OP's point

 

[joevol33]

Yes. He was.

Haha great picture

 

[HoptownVol]

Irrelevant.

Whats irrelevant is Vanderbilt PERIOD! Just lending some perspective. We have a one game winning streak
against Vandy. How irrelevant is that?

 

[HoptownVol]

Bray choked the game away against UGA.

51-44, but its Brays fault we lost. LMAO

 

[Vol logic]

51-44, but its Brays fault we lost. LMAO

I'm Curious Hop, how do you think Bray would have been under Butch?
