Just got back from UT-Bama. A few observations.

1. I wore a Ducks hat and heard almost nothing but positive comments. I got a few negative ones, but the fans today seemed to be way better than they were when we actually played Tennessee. Kudos to UT fans.

2. I was impressed by Tennessee in the first half. Solid running game, solid defense. 'Bama didn't really look very explosive on offense, and Tennessee's defense was pretty firm. That drive to get the field goal with 50 seconds left in the half was very nice.

3. Tennessee just doesn't have the depth to compete in 2nd halves against solid teams. It's just a fact of life for you guys this year. That should improve over the next couple of years.

4. Tauren Poole can be a beast when he gets decent blocking. First RB to go over 100 against 'Bama in a while, no?

5. Matt Simms has no business playing major college football.

You guys will progressively get better. Will Tennessee be a great team next year? In all likelihood, no. However, I do forsee a slow upward climb back to being a middle of the pack SEC East team in 2011. Who knows after that? Depends on how DD ends up being as a coach, and also how well he recruits.

Stick through this tough time, guys. Just remember-it could be worse.

Well said -- too bad that it takes a Duck fan to recognize what is going on out there.

Thanks

Tennessee is a fine state with traditionally good hearted, reasonable people. People like the smart mouthed rodent lover need to be wiped clean off the face of the earth though. Go vols

Congratulations on your firm inclusion in "that club"

You've been in that club ever since you flew off the handle in Oregon week. It doesn't concern me too much what you think considering you went nuts calling Tennesseans something along the lines of "worthless rednecks". I never considered you to be anything close to level headed after that.

I like UT's fan base. I really do. I would much rather prefer to live in a city populated with Vol fans than 'Bama or Gator fans.

That's pretty loose paraphrasing there . Apparently you misinterpreted my demeanor that day cause I was far from going nuts. I do remember calling out some people for acting like the aforementioned necks you're referring to. If the shoe fits wear it.

You get good and bad apples anywhere. Like I said..Tennessee is a great state with good people. But their bad apples are really rotten. But yeh Gator and Bama have even worse on their low end.

So you were thinking so clearly that you, for no reason, felt like apologizing?

Wezcoast said:
I apologize to those involved for the insults (name calling) yesterday. I admit I can be pretty childish at times. Sorry.

He used to live in a really nice subdivision but it was getting turned into a glof course. Then he and his other buddies found some pirate loot. Long story. There were booty traps and stuff. Now he's worth millions and lives in the hills of TN. He was headed for Beverly but got lost.

This is pretty much a truism of the human condition. I could say the same thing about Portland. It's a great city, the wife and I thought about moving there, but we ran into some absolutely execrable aholes in a brewpub out there. Jackasses are universal.

I'm sure. Thankfully I've managed to miss those so far out here.
