Embarrassing. Totally. No other way to put it. Pathetic effort.

 

[VonVol]

I'm embarrassed by what happened tonight.

Kids played hard, coaches lacking imo.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Dooley of all people beat CBJ.

People dont want to hear that and make every excuse in the book about it.

Dooley beat CBJ.

Dooley beat CBJ with superior talent and a little depth...if you remeber correctly, that game didn't break open until the second half.

We all knew this year was going to be CBJ's "free pass"...if we don't do better than 7-5 and beat everyone we are supposed (to be read as Candy) to next year, then we are in it deep brother and nothing short of a AD overhaul will fix it by then.

The season has progressed enough to make some declarations vices assumptions IMO. The O line unfortunately never lived up to the hype. They had a chance tonight to dominate the clock and run it out relatively speaking, and pull out the win. Regardless, I'm very much looking forward to Lane next season...am expecting good things. I have some worries defensively, but they have shown promise a game here or there. So why not all game? That said they definitely, they have work to do but the incoming class has promise. Offensively, sorry... too much east-west. Running game has a need to go N/S and so does the passing game. All in all.

Its hard to think you can replace nearly 100% of a staff and have 100% success. Its unrealistic.. the percentages don't work..and I hope CBJ realizes that. I do think that some of this staff is learning as much as the players........at least I'd like to think so..that-in the SEC the east-west stuff is ok, but limited due to team speed. It does NOT win championships, period. Hence the learning curve for the staff. Regardless, CBJ, I hope, is not so wedded to his coordinators as to think they are 1) the best staff in the country...as they already proven they aren't and 2) may need to get rid of a few coordinators in the next 12-24 months 'cause they can't adapt to the SEC. Hey, they won't be the first, or the last. $0.02.

Dooley beat CBJ.

And then Dooley left CBJ with a monumental train wreck of universal cataclysmic proportions covered not in whipped cream and cherries but miles of piles of steaming stinking monkey crap that is engulfed in atomic bombed explosive mass destructive excuse for program. Congratulations CBJ.

Congrats to CBJ and staff for having their own poorly coached football team.

Yet again we lose while knocking out half of the opposing team's players.

We're like a bunch of mercenaries that don't get the job done.

Yeah watch Vandy get knocked off by Wafe Forest due to this weeks injuries.

That's what we're good for.

 

[FranklinVFL]

From the game, the announcers were talking about CBJ. Only been a head coach for 6 years....6 years TOTAL. Dang, what do you expect? And has he ever BUILT a program vs inherited?

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

4-6 big plays:

1. TD recalled for penalty
2. candy 4th down conversion
3. Dobbs run back to the 2 yard line on a rush
4. Ball bouncing off face mask of receiver
5. Fake Jump pass.
6. Fake field goal on 4th & 19
Honorable mention: 2 Dobbs picks, one shanked punt, 1 missed FG, North ankle injury.

At least we didn't lose to GA Southern.

[smittyjs]

You are Vandy which is what you are supposed to do. We are Tennessee on the other hand and are supposed to compete for Championships. All of that is why we are ticked and Franklin feels like he won the Super Bowl because he did in back to back years.
