Love this Dooley quote

[g8terh8ter_eric]

I bet Saban is just enamored with living among rednecks and halfwits. He'll probably start wearing Houndstooth hats and bad plaid jackets on the sidelines. I don't give a damn if the coach replaces the game maxims with the lyrics to "Rumpshaker." Win. That's it.

Then let's change our colors to pastel purple and lime green, if all we are concerned about is winning. Who here would buy that to wear to the game??

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

I very much doubt Saban bleeds Crimson. Whatever.

He still sells the school.

The only reason I care about tradition is it's effects on recruiting.

And while those effects are minor, it certainly doesn't hurt having it.

Which perfectly illustrates why your posts here are not to be taken seriously.

There are a lot of good reasons to dislike Lane Kiffin. Because he left you in the middle of the night like a homesick lover is not a good one.

It's good enough for me... And I still think he'll win big.

Kiffin did, too.

Yeah, your right, I'm just supposed to close my eyes and act like nothing happened. That's the perfect attitude to take Sab.

If we won championships, I couldn't care less what we wear.

If we're winning, I don't care if we wear paisley uniforms. I don't care if the staff goes in and does nWO style graffiti all over the sainted pictures of Adkins, Majors, White, Manning, Berry, et al. Win. That's it.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Kiffin did, too.

No he didn't. He sold the east coast USC and his daddy here. He would have changed the schools name to USC if he could have.

He got players to come. That's really all that matters. I'm pretty sure he sold UT to guys like Corey Miller.

He still sells the school.

And what did he sell when he came in to rescue a program that was stuck in the land of little relevance? He sold LSU and the NFL. He sold a National Championship at another school.

Somehow, I truly doubt this would be the case. As much as I wanted to win at this point last year, and give things up to do it, it was the wrong thought process to have.

It would definitely be the case. And why is it the wrong thought process?

People wouldn't wear it because it's hideous. We still sold a bunch of black jerseys.

 

[Cartervol]

We knew about the USC stuff way back in the Spring. I don't see why everyone acts so surprised by that. We knew all along he was selling UT as the USC of the East.

It is a direct slap in the face. He made it out like Tennessee needed that? Ask yourself did Tennessee need him selling them as the USC of the east? The place sells itself. .

Why is there a proper fan thought process and who voted on it?

True, but he didn't hang Tiger memorabilia all over the Bama football complex. Could you imagine the uproar if that actually happened??

But you're using much better judgment now? The signs of success for this staff are so much clearer?hmy:

I'm supposed to believe that you are not applying the same amount of bias to this staff that you did the last?

I'm playing devil's advocate here.

I seem to remember you yelling pretty loud about wearing black jerseys in a video last year, but now you are sitting here preaching to us about the importance of tradition. (specifically relating to uniforms to boot)

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Because you shouldn't have to give up who you are to get to where you are going, IMO.

Black is part of our school colors.

That's what kept us outfitted in Fulmer for about five extra years.

Sure can. It would be the same as the one that followed the revelation that Kiffin was using USC to sell UT. No one cared as long as it got recruits.

Wow. You seriously think that's true?

Fulmer in good with all the major money players here at UT is the reason he stayed longer than he should have.

We've had it on outlines of jersey's in a lot of our sports. I'm not saying it's a primary color, which is orange and white, but it's a color none the less.
