You can scratch your head if you see a carpenter framing with a pipe wrench-- until you find out all he has is a plumber's tool bag.

This..... All day long!

 

[17Vols]

Why do you not buy this game out? Clay Travis is soooooooooooo right. Just a stupid play.
May lose recruits outta this deal.

no jackassery, its in the by laws

 

[vols 30]

Main goal this season: get 6 wins, go to a bowl, hang on to this recruiting class. "F" this game.

 

[Remy]

Oregon is not the #2 team in the country, they're actually down around #9 or 10. Just in the SEC they cannot compete with the likes of LSU, Bama, SC, or UGA this year, any of these four teams will run them out of their or any other stadium in the country. What we're seeing today is BJ and team #117 has a long way to go, da Ducks are not special at all, we're still just that bad.

 

[rockytophigh]

Run the effing football str8 at em. Keep their O off the field. Only chance we had & we go to screens & short passes. & as I go for my Gentlemen Jack....I find one drink left in the bottle. Anybody a divorce lawyer? Mo@/!*#^@^;#:g Sum@*@; $^'^

Good lord, support our team and our coaches. Yes the play calling is cautious, but what options do you really think we have with Worley at the helm? He does not have the tools to be an SEC caliber QB. Maybe they develop at some point, but right now...this is what we have to work with.

We learn from this one. Walk away after a hard fight and hold your head up. Better days are ahead.

The option they had was to pound the rock with our big oline and slow it down. Too late now.

 

[utvolkyle06]

Can't argue that point!

I can.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Every reasonable fan amongst us knew that we were hideously outmanned going into this game, yet I'm already seeing people *****ing about our coaching staff. Please let's not feed these idiots and give credence to what their saying. We're playing potentially the best team in the country, so lets step away from the ledge a little bit

Good post.

 

[YankeeVol]

Bye bye cry baby..

Butch is playing with Dooleys D right now and a few of his players.

Give him time. Or to buy something crimson... At least you have two choices in crimson now

I'd go with LSU over Bama

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

At least three years away. 2018 we may compete, will butch still be around?

I hope so. Not all coaches fault we r just not ready talent wise there is a huge defiency

 

[FallBranchChick]

Maybe we can beat the floridiots....just sayin

 

[Z06Vol]

What really ticks me off is these same people who are now on the ledge are the same people all week saying we were going to upset Oregon and gave the "realistic" ones crap.

Unrealistic people are typically your drama queens.

 

[UT_King]

CBJ has made several questionable decisions, the play calling does not focus on our strengths, Neal should be on dancing with the stars, Worley should warm the bench, and each UT fan at the game needs to punch out 2-3 ducks.

 

[Sowbug2000]

Yep. Been saying that all along. With our line there is no excuse for not pounding the rock. Too late now.

The thing that pisses me off is that they keep trying to cut and shake guys loose.....can't we run NORTH and SOUTH on them???!!! Dammit!!! We don't have no Barry Sanders!

:banghead2:

 

[bignewt]

They are who we thought they were

 

[YorkVol]

Oregon is good, but I'm excited to see the end half adjustmentsd

 

[TennesseeFan07]

The second half can't get any worse.

 

[GhostVol]

Main goal this season: get 6 wins, go to a bowl, hang on to this recruiting class. "F" this game.

And we've found someone else that understands the goal for this season!!!!!

 

[ibvolman]

The truly bad thing about all of this is that I am aboard the ship I work on in the gulf. So, I can't drink. I have to endure every bit of this while totally sober.

 

[VolStudent5]

i was expecting this game to be a little closer..

 

[cpavol]

They may be better, but they aren't this much better.
Poor playing and playcalling. Should have ran a very conservative tempo IMO. You aren't beating Oregon in a shootout.

??? The only chance to beat Oregon with our defense is to outscore them. But QB play has to be great to compete. We don"t have a QB who can play at this level right now.

 

[Jave]

I know I'm not a popular poster at this point, but my opinion is...Worley. That dude sucks. You replace him, this is a different game.

 

[MFL]

CBJ finding out about playing big boy ball this is not conference USA or Mid majors.

Oh yeah and he is showing it

 

[Defaultuser]

Can't argue that point!

Go cry about your politics in another forum. This isn't the place.

What really ticks me off is these same people who are now on the ledge are the same people all week saying we were going to upset Oregon and gave the "realistic" ones crap.

Every week
