Don’t want any of their pay for play heartless mercenaries. They have quit when the going gets rough (a la kiffin/dooley/jones/pruitt players).

Our team and culture need none of that…

Because we are going for

13-1

Milton is a different player than he was last year. He's gonna kill someone that tries to tackle him next year,

I'm looking forward to seeing how he does next season. He looks vastly improved. One flaw he had last season was him looking to throw it deep too often. Hopefully he'll be patient enough to run the offense and take the deep shots when they're there instead of forcing it. I think he will. He's definitely got the overthrows corrected.

Typical oral garbage from this freckle faced Bama hack.

He thinks a 1-loss OSU over Tennessee because they played Notre Dame ooc vs us playing Pitt? That's the stupidest argument I've heard yet. Does the rest of the schedule mean nothing? We are 2-1 against top-10 teams; OSU would be 0-1. Also, Notre Dame was inept at the beginning of the year. They lost to Marshall and Stanford and squeaked out a win against California. Beating them by 11 is not a huge win. Other than the, "they've been there more recently" argument, a 1-loss OSU has nothing over Tennessee.

And a 1-loss TCU? Does he even watch football?

I think seeing hooker's success and how he does things is gonna help Milton a lot.

Man a running QB kills us and that little number 11 killed us too. Just don’t understand why we can’t stop every QB that runs or gets flushed out of the pocket.

Tennessee has stopped the running QB every game this year except for mizzou.
The coaches picked their poison. Limited mizzou running and passing ability and gave up the irrelevant qb runs. Yes they scored 24 points…oh my gosh
Unfortunately for mizzou, Tennessee scored 66. So the qb runs hurt us how?

These coaches have a plan:

13-1

Heupel should get it @10-2. . . 11-1 & the playoffs, there is no one close.

Dykes and Leipold are getting most of the hype for COTY. Haven't really heard Heupel's name in that convo for weeks.

I don't think Milton looked to throw it deep too often last year. The receivers were behind the secondary on his passes and he just over threw them time and again. If he has that corrected, look out.

We just need to come out Saturday night and take care of business. The playoffs are still in the picture and I hope that doesn’t make us try to do
Anything differently. South Carolina is bad, please don’t let them even have a glimmer of hope by turning it over or starting slow.

Kansas has fallen back down to earth. Yes, they're bowl eligible, but there is a good chance they finish 6-6. That isn't COTY material. If TCU wins out, even with all their luck, Dykes has a really good case. Heupel should be a front-runner either way.

I agree. For whatever reason Heupel just isn't getting people circling his name like those two are

Is Calloway the first in the portal?

-Hubbs

In a much less contentious manner, I think Walker Merrill will explore options also.

Thought Calloway could have been an outstanding corner

 

[Jack Burton]

Anyone get the reasoning for the intentional grounding call in the 3rd/4th quarter on Hooker? I was at the game, and it pretty clearly looked like Hooker and his WR just weren't on the same page. I got a text from a friend that said Hooker was never under pressure.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen intentional grounding called on a ball that travels 30+ yards and lands out of the back of the endzone.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Kiffin was worse than Dooley? This is got to be a joke. Ridiculous, even for you

Dooley was easily the worst coach in Tennessee history. It's not even close.

I'd have to give the award to Pruitt but that's just me.

 

[JCP201]

So, South Carolina is sold out. Hope VOLS fans bought up some of those tickets.

Kiffin is a more capable coach, but his lack of character departure put us in a HC search after one year and triggered the Dooley, Jones, Pruitt fateful path. There is a cost for all three hires, the last being epic.

I’m guessing we will be well represented in Columbia this weekend.

The Hire of Dooley was the beginning of the end..............or the firing of Fulmer.

You know they did

2001 LSU was a really good football team...that loss was disappointing for a lot different reason. This Tennessee team losing to THIS SC team would be an awful awful loss.

My stupid chronic BVS is getting on my last nerve.

Ours too.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

I don't think Milton looked to throw it deep too often last year. The receivers were behind the secondary on his passes and he just over threw them time and again. If he has that corrected, look out.

I know the overthrows on wide open guys really stand out, but there were times he was holding onto the ball and literally waving at receivers to go deep. The Bowling Green game had several plays where he had guys wide open for 15 yard gains but he wanted to go deep. He was playing backyard ball more than running the offense. He definitely looks improved in that area...I'm just hoping he sticks with it when he's running the show for an entire game. The sky is the limit with him.

In all do respect……TCUs defense held Texas to 6 first downs.
Not that I believe TCU is close to as good as Tennessee, but if they go undefeated, they’re in the CFP, and deserve to be.

But only, and if only they get the honor of playing Tennessee…

13-1
