Pulling some old mattresses out of the garage. Kids want a bon fire later, and I have a feeling it's gonna be a doozy.

If butch doesn't give QD some playing time I'm gonna have to quit watching til he does. We passed for 83 yards last week..can't be much more this week. Dobbs throwing ability is absolutely terrible. Terrible. Coaching and the offensive line are not the ones bouncing passes on 10 yard routes and overthrowing receivers by 10 yards on intermediate routes. The receivers are gonna quit on Dobbs if they haven't already. He has cost Pearson millions...this is his senior season. Ugly
Ugly
Ugly. I haven't been drunk in a decade or more and this crap is seriously making me want to get hammered.

Dobbs is a junior. The offense should've been geared around the option for him. Would hide his weakness in the pocket and take advantage of his best attribute. Our staff is bad, dude.

I'm done! Bielema inherited a worse situation than CBJ and has not recruited anywhere near the same level yet wins this game! There is a coaching deficiency a t UT and it must be addressed!

I was pretty apathetic when I saw the final score yesterday. (was working and could only check every so often)

Strange seeing UT blow a lead and having a "meh" feeling after the game. I'm sure it will be the same way next week.

So a special thank you goes out to Dave Hart and Butch Jones. Thank you for dashing my hopes again about a team that should be 5-0 right now. Thank you for taking the one thing I look forward to each and every fall and giggling while you light the match on a dumpster fire.

At least I have Women's Gymnastics to look forward to.

You need a particular reason to like women gymnasts beyond the fact that they are women gymnasts?

Look at Florida’s Jim McElwain, he inherited a worse situation, was not given a chance during the preseason, now sitting at 5-0 in his 1st season.

I think a lot of people are irritated that we have enough talent to win a lot of games right now, and are scared that if we don't, recruiting will dry up and in a couple years we'll be stuck in the same position of firing a coach, with nobody lined up willing to take over a once again depleted roster

Good summation.

We are gonna be handed a beating next week after the butt whooping that was laid on Georgia by a bunch of pizzed off Dawgs that are probably now worried about gaturds far more than they are us. I just hope we can keep Chubb under 500 yards. Moral victory and all. Losing Magitt really really hurt this team, and what happened to our OL?

Yes it does.

Tenn had a 5 win season in 1988 followed by the SEC Champs in 1989-1990 with wins in the Cotton and Sugar Bowls.

It was then 17 seasons, 2005 before we had another 5 win season.

It has been excuse after excuse since then.

Tennessee has went from a championship program to a team as one coach said " you just don't lose to Tennessee."

It is depressing.

I keep wondering if we're that team that had a run and now falls into mediocrity.

Well, on to other subjects, anyone have any advice on either Direct TV or Dish?

**** Cox Communications. Five ****ing service calls. Two blown off, two no shows, one ****ing time out of five where a ****ing technician actually ****ing showed up.

I think I'll set up a service appointment for them to collect their box. They'll have a 20% chance of me actually being at home to get it.

I've had dish for almost 10 years. Only had one issue and they resolved it fairly quickly (tech didn't want to install it where I wanted it). The price is fair and the hopper works really well.

I know directv very well though. The genie DVR box is by far one of the best on the market. Price is a little higher than what you'll get with dish but they do include more channels with some of their lower packages.

Dish right now is advertising a two year price lock. So it's worth checking in on. I actually plan on calling them sometime this week to see how I can get it... Seeing how hope I've been such a valued long time customer and all :).

Both are better than cable imo. In both HD quality, DVR capability, and price. So you can't go wrong with either.

No. We are a team that had a very good coach win a National Championship then got complacent and did great harm to the program.

We had AD department reward said coach with a new contract with a $6 million in 2007 ,then fired him the next season costing the University the $6 million.

That was followed up up a splash hire that the AD did not cover their butt concerning the hires dream job, that became open the next sesaon. Presto we were out of a coach at a very bad time of the year.

We follow that by hiring a coach with a losing record with a law degree, again the AD negotiates a bad deal. The losing coach did what losing coaches do, he continued to lose. This mistake cost the university another $5 million, by that time the roster was depleted so bad, the Tennessee job turned into a togh rebuilding job in a tough conference. A headache most coaches didn't want.

Then came the Up and Comer who had a winning record at 2 lower tier programs that knew how to sell himself. The AD jumps all over him, this time they increase the coaches buyout to 8 figures, another stupid move.

This Up and Comer cam recruit with the best, terrible on field coach that needs to be fired which would cost the university another $10,000,000.00.


The only good side, the talent is here thanks to the recruiting. It would be easier to hire a proven coach. The question now is does the university bite the $10 million and fire him or pay him 3.5 million for another year or two while the talent level falls then start over with a new coach that has very little talent to work with.

I say bite the bullet, get someone in here that can coach , if not we will suffer more years of disappointment. The problem with that is as long as fans fill the stadium and buy Volgear, why pay the extra money since losing still brings in big money. It is a dilemma.
