Wait, you aren't satisfied with having the best conference record of six teams? You don't realize it isn't pathetic to not be able to be the best of 12 teams once in ten years?

honestly, it's not really six teams. Only two of those have any real prayer of winning the East. In fact, I can't recall anyone but UT, UGA or UF actually winning it.

 

[VolinArizona]

First year QB and no proven players on the D-Line. Next year will be the year!

Wrong and wrong

 

[hohenfelsvol]

If we dont win an SEC championship this year im gonna go nuts.

Prepare yourself...

I have to tell you, if I'd have known that sort of thing was frowned upon...

 

[rexvol]

when did you lace 'em to qualify for one

 

[hmanvolfan]

Get ready to go "nuts". This is not the year for UT!

First year QB and no proven players on the D-Line. Next year will be the year!

3 SEC championship games does not suck! No....UT has not won those games, but the SEC is the best conf in the NCAA. It is not easy to win in the SEC!

The qb is a redshirt junior and we have returning d lineman with a lot of experience.

IT CAN BE DONE!

National Powerhouse programs can return to the top (in short order) with a new , energetic regime!

Enough whining and lamenting about what "could" happen. Just because "some" programs have faltered, doesn't mean you throw up your hands in despair.

Many programs have reclaimed their national prominence.

Mike Hamilton are you listening?

To you? No.

I can assure that he needs to listen to anyone that writes a check to VASF.

 

[Jaytrain5]

I can assure that he needs to listen to anyone that writes a check to VASF.

Amen.

I've been leaving him voicemails for weeks about switching to home black jerseys....haven't had a return call from him yet.

 

[TheVol]

I'm sure your meaningless numbers and multiple ramblings will be taken under advisement.

 

[holdemvol]

Amen.

You obviously did not say your initials at the end of the message.

 

[UT IE 95]

When did you send this collection of information to Hamilton with your VASF number to make sure action is taken?

 

[BigPapaVol]

You obviously did not say your initials at the end of the message.

very, very good point.

 

[rexvol]

Amen.

He actually called me back about that. He told me to be sure and tunr in for the Bama game.

 

[rexvol]

It's nice to see Stephen Hawking post here.

 

[rexvol]

I was under the impression that you were going to take care of that for me.

 

[orange+white=heaven]

Thank you Al Gore.

[UT IE 95]

I was under the impression that you were going to take care of that for me.

So your saying that you haven't pleaded this case to Hamilton as a VASF donor?
