It wasn't vicious. I'll give you that. I'm sure that a lot of posters will be wearing their feelings on their sleeves, me included, until the UGA game (I do think I can get a little psyched for Memphis though).

that is usual response from a fulmerite. the fact is if a team is ranked in the top 15 coming into neyland stadium, tennessee will more than likely lose. fulmer is terrible against ranked opponets, especially since 98. fulmer hasn't won the sec since 98. fulmer hasn't done much of anything since 98. the rest of this season means nothing because we need florida to lose 2 and its not going to happen. we will lose at georgia and at home to lsu and we may run the rest of the games. so there is a good chance we will finish 9-3 and go to the peach bowl. my whole problem is this is the norm at tennessee now and its not being fairweathered to want your team to get better when you know there is a problem. CUT was not able to get the offense running and with fulmer having problems with recruiting our future looks really dim right now. it is a fact ESPN can see it, the rest of the country can see it, but for some reason some tennessee fans are in denile or just blind. it is time to wake up people. the glory days are not coming back. it is time for a change. fulmer said it himself, we play to win every year to win the SEC. he hasn't done it in almost a decade.:whistling:

Ok... so your gonna sit there and cry into your keyboard beacuase you want it so badly. Get over yourself.

If you really expected this team to compete for the national championship then you were delusional and blind from the start.

ESPN said it so it must be true.....:post-4-1090547912:

i think anyone that is anti fulmer can look at this and not be wrong...the O line got outplayed big time. No argument.

but UF's defense had a lot to do with it as well...they're pretty good.

and even with that bad offensive line play, we still had a shot to win...that's all i can ask for...will they win 'em all? no, but every now and then they do....this game played a lot like the 04 game, we just didn't get the chance to kick a 50 yarder to decide it...

not giong to blame the coaches on this one....not a 1 pt loss to a top ten team where both teams played their butts off.

JMO...

Exactly... every rational person seemed to be expecting a 9 or 10 win season... which is what the Vols seem to be on track for.

typical fulmerite approach, try to run down the truth. truth is no sec championships since 98, none this year. no bcs bowls since 99. pretty long spell. wouldn't looking for a NC just a sec championship we haven't seen in almost a decade. i guess to you the peach bowl sounds good, some fans like that. just not me.:whistling:

A 9 or 10 win season most certainly doesn't rule out a SEC Championship. Like I said, most rational people can see that. This is where you get off the train.

No... I'm realistic. I've said before If Fulmer dosn't get his act together and start wining these games he will be gone. So just sit down and keep yourself busy until it comes out. Thankfully, The AD doesn't care what you think. And furthermore, If it is so easy why aren't you on the staff?

The SEC championship is parallel to the national championship. If you get one, you have a better than average chance to get to play for the other. Of course It's not good enough to get to the peach bowl. But things take time, if your not patient enough to back YOUR team and YOUR coach wait until we are good enough to compete than Missisippi State is lookin to suplement their fanbase.

a 9 or 10 win season will not get us in the sec championship. you'll need florida to lose 2 or 3 times and us run the table. you probably have a better chance of hitting the powerball.:wink2:

A 9 or 10 win season probably will not be enough to get to the SECG. But if you really expect a SEC Championship coming off of a 5-6 season, then that is being totally unrealistic. Yes, Tennessee has some problems and some of those are coaching. But I can't blame the coaching for a 1 point loss. If every play was run the way the coach envisioned, then this discussion would be moot. But realistically that is not always the case. When the coach wants a pass play up the middle but the reciever is in triple coverage do you throw into triple coverage or do you look for secondary reciever, or do you try to run the ball. Not everything is in the coaches control.

you just made my point. the norm, not championships or sec, it is the peachbowl. to me that says the problems are worse than i thought.

If enough teams lose enough games, you most certainly CAN get to the SECCG with 9 or 10 wins. Do not wink at me, and have fun continuing to post the same thing over and over; we get it. Unfortunately for you, no one cares, much less the AD.

Strange, I seem to remember a team getting into the SEC Championship game in 2004 with 9 wins... but I can't remember who that was.....

Who was that, again?

9 wins no chance... that will be like 5-3 in the SEC and there is no way that gets us in this year. 10-2 i could maybe see, but it is doubtful.

2 years ago, 9 wins was one conference loss.

a loss in our next two games would be humiliating. the only threats are in conference.

That was with an 11 game schedule, not a 12 game. Plus UT beat UF and UGA that year. UT is not going to lose to Memphis or Marshall, meaning that a 9-win season would include 3 SEC losses. That means UF would have to have 4 SEC losses for the Vols to get the nod. I just don't see that happening. UT pretty much has to win out to get to Atl (SECCSG) IMO.

I made some post's earlier in this thread that might have sounded like I was calling for a coaching change, but that's not the case. I do see a lot of improvement from the areas that were the wost last year. I think the receivers benefited greatly from Trooper's work ethic, and Ainge has been doing much better under Cut's tutelage. I don't even think you can blame Chavis for the D's problems last night. What I don't get is why the running game was non-exsistent. That is UT bread and butter hard nosed, smash mouth running.

So I guess when Fulmer does decide to step down as coach you'll come on here and say, "See, I told you so, it only took 12 or 13 years, but I was right!"

Right?
