You don't think LSU would pound us into obvlivion?

Nope.

 

[Bigun]

Nope.

Lololololololololol....ok

 

[orangebloodgmc]

It's impressive to see Bama change what they need to in order to stay dominant.

They used to win with Defense - 9-6 kinda games.

Now Saban knows it an offensive world - wins by scoring more points even if it means the defense gives up points.

Did not want to "like" this ... but you aint wrong.

Yeah, LSU really showed Vandy who's boss. Ya gotta be impressed by that.

Thought they played uscjr and put up a lot of points. The fr qb is a beast. Offense looks a lot smoother with him running it

I think Banks was held out bc he couldn’t push off on his ankle like he wanted to be able to. I saw Simmons dresses out on the sideline during the game but I guess he hasn’t “earned” his playing time

Simmons played in the second half

And Missouri they really shut them down.

Has Dominic Bailey gotten in any games?

Still learning how to practice the right way and give 63 strain.

Has Dominic Bailey gotten in any games?

No.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I just remembered that I didn't see Banks Saturday. Was he out due to injury?

I saw him standing on the sideline once. Guessing his ankle was hurt more than thought against UK.

Who replaced crouch when he went out hurt?
I could never figure it out

 

[Billy Antrim]

Random, but did anyone else notice Bryan Aiken in vs Kentucky? Wonder if he is coming around. Remember hearing good things about him out of HS.

According to the box scores, 52 is Matthew Salansky, our long snapper, not Aiken. Sorry for the late response.

 

[BJWeeks]

Pruitt goes 3-7 then he still will not get fired

Phil Fulmer

"Jeremy and our football team had to deal with a tough situation. We didn't get to participate in Spring Practice and did not have a full camp. I had conversations with Jeremy and I know he is the man to get it fixed. We all have to work together me included as an organization and support Jeremy and this University. We will work like heck to get Tennessee back as one of the best in the Southeastern Conference

Not by jersey #. Just saw a defender with, I'm pretty sure, "Aiken" on his shoulders. Could have been someone else idk.

Page I think. Beasley and McDonald played garbage snaps

 

[JCP201]

we are working like heck!!

 

[JCP201]

Yes, I wanted Kiffin when we hired Pruitt.

I'm starting to think Nick Saban would turn into a dud if he was our coach. I can't ever forgive Kiffin-- I don't hate him, but firing Fulmer and then hiring Mr. USC is the reason why we are in this mess so deeply, IMO.

Boy that’s tough

I didn’t know page was still on the team

 

[TechnoVol]

Has Dominic Bailey gotten in any games?

Yes, he was the lineman that got tossed to the side by two Alabama lineman. CBS kept showing replays of him literally going airborne.

 

[discontent523]

Anybody else still aggravated about the defense Saturday, I mean there where what three chances to get picks and several third downs where we could have gotten stops and possibly changed the game and guys just didn't or couldn't make the plays, right play calls and guys just couldn't finish.

Not pushing Tennessee around anymore FOR REAL this time

Simmons has played a ton and been hurt in two games so far. He played against Bama and had a deflection on a pass late in the game.

Paul Finebaum burns Jeremy Pruitt for postgame comments after Alabama blowout loss

It's because we're cheap. University didn't want to shell out for a name coach. They went shopping in the bargain bins which is why we've struggled. They ran the program into the ground. And now there is no quick fix to the problem which leaves everyone frustrated. If they had just done due diligence when they let Fulmer go and hired a successful college name coach, we'd be fine, but they didn't. They chose the flash of Kiffin, got screwed, then have chased cheap ass solutions that haven't panned out. I think Pruitt could eventually figure it out, but it's a multi-year rebuild and Tennessee fans just aren't that patient. We tend to think the next big thing is around the corner, and it's not. No one fools us like we fool ourselves. Before it's all said and done, we'll probably shoot ourselves in the foot all over again. The Big Orange Screw is just the UT way.
