It was a hell of a game......I really enjoyed how once we acquired a 10 pt. lead, we decided to attack the clock with runs up the middle instead of attacking the gator defense.

That same chiat allowed CAL to put nearly 3 TD's on the board earlier in the year.

Our tailback looked alot like Emmit Smith tonight too..........

He showed his fancy footwork in the backfield alot like Emmit did on "Dancing with the Stars" for no gain instead of lowering his shoulder and getting 2-3 yds.

The difference in the game was not the officiating, they made horrible calls all night against both teams.!

Give me a break. Our O-Line got made into women. The dancing in the backfield was due to our RBs waiting on holes to open up. They never did.

how come you(letmestay) and every other fulmerhater praised cutcliffe for 2 weeks and now that cutcliffe decides to pretend he's randy sanders for a quarter and a half you blame it on fulmer instead of cutcliffe?

you can try the crap about it being fulmer's call, but that isn't how it works with cutcliffe. get over your mancrush on fulmer.

But it didn't it went one way, to the team that came out with the most heart and intensity. I would have been okay with the loss had we stopped them on that last third down. There is no excuse for not at least having a chance to win the game. Do I think we could have?
Probably not but our defense should have gave them a chance. It wasn't like we didn't know what was coming. It's classic Tennessee football, when the game is on the line we blow it. I love this team and will continue to get my heart ripped out every year. Until we get some coaches/ players / toughness, to pull these games out. We can't expect them to pull out the toughones, given the track record over the last 8 years. I'm usually optimistic about our team, but we will never put another trophy up on the hill with out a serious change.

neyland just simply the same place it used to be. high-quality opponents aren't afraid to come to neyland anymore. they aren't intimidated by our team, by our coaches, or even by the fans.

neyland's lost it's edge as a really tough place to play over the last several years.

i don't know what tennessee team you've been watching for the past several years, but we've made a living out of pulling out the tough, close games. all of those overtime games? the come from behind agains florida 2 years ago? the come from behind against lsu?

i could give you 10 examples at least for every 1 you say you can come up with as far as losing the tough, close ones. what toughness didn't you see tonight? was justin harrell playing with one arm not tough enough for you?

amorphous, learn a little respect and get off the bandwagon. also, learn how to spell.....what the heck is Myewrs?

how can you say florida wasn't intimidated? the timeouts? the delay of game? did you not see Leak's eyes in the 3rd quarter? they were huge from fright. they weren't even in that game until we let them back in. that has nothing to do with neyland.

"all those overtime games"...don't you mean the win over "national powerhouse" arkansas? wilhoit never should have had a chance to kick that field goal in the florida game 2 years ago, and the lsu comeback was on the road, so how could home field advantage have helped in that game?

i know, but neyland has lost it's edge in people's minds about being a really tough place to play. it was almost on par with the swamp on being a tough place to play.

How many times do you make the same mistakes? We had a decent passing game most of the night. Was play-action the big reason we sucessfully moved the ball down the field? Hail NO!!! We had no running game. I'm just saying we do not have pound the ball consecutive posessions for a 3 and out. Our D was on the field way too much in the second half.

I'm not trying to be negative and I think you make a valid point. Sometimes we do pull through, but on average we lose these games. Blame my opinion on a sour tase left over form last year, or the last two decades that I have been a loyal UT fan.
I will continue to get fired up for every game this year and in future seasons. I just can't stand to see this happen every year.

I guess it just sucks to be a College football fan, and know that when your team loses one game no matter how close, It's the end of your chances to have a championship season. NFL fans have it so much better. I do think we still have a chance for a good season. I just want more for UT and all of the great fans that continue to get the hearts broken year in and year out.

It's all preception.... the Orange Bowl use to be the place where dreams went to die. Now that they are having problems. ...It's not exactly mission :impossible anymore.

I'd rather they be afraid of the team.... Neyland will take care of itself.

i wasn't just talking about home field advantage because you weren't either. you were talking about team toughness and what not. that has nothing to do with home field advantage.

it doesn't matter if you're playing arkansas or florida or notre dame. a win is a win when it's a tough, close game. don't contradict everything you said by trying to pick and choose when you want to use your slander. anyone could do that. you can go back to talking about the orange bowl of 97' for your examples. or i could go back and talk about the florida game of 98' or the sec championship games of 97' or 98'.....see how easy it is?

your comments about neyland are just. they havn't protected it like they should, but last year aside, all of those games they've lost, they were the underdog for the most part. don't forget that they aren't always the best team and aren't always supposed to win.

again, the neyland comment is acceptable, but talking about toughness and not winning close games is complete crap because like i said, i can give you probably 10 examples to your 1.

I disagree. I think Florida, down by 10 despite leading in most statistical categories (and handily in rushing and first downs) showed tremendous poise in coming out and scoring, then holding you, then scoring again, then holding you again.

You may think UT played too conservatively once they were ahead. But you've got to give Florida some credit for coming back, on the road.

i definately give florida credit for sticking with it. they held serve and made some plays, but when your offensive playcalling changes despite playing florida state type, non-rushing, football, and then giving up 40 yards on a 2nd and 22 play......blah.

florida played well down the stretch.

No, you are all wrong. The call of roughing the passer against mapu was rediculous. That would have been another touchdown and would have changed the momentum. It was a bad call. Yes, we made some mistakes, but that changed the game. Thanks Ref.

i've seen the same thing that mapu did get called for a blow to the head on the qb at least 20 times before. it was consistent with past calls. besides, the refs owed florida one anyway, because that block in the back wasn't really a block in the back.
