UT vs Wyoming game thread

I just got home from the game, unbelievable, that's all.

You took the words from my mouth..... it was like a train wreck happening in slow motion.. I said freakin' unbelievable...
And I think I owe the someone that started a thread about people just sitting at the game and NOT yelling or anything an apology- well folks the walk today was pitiful, there was only a few of us doing the cheers and all.. sad... when Coach came down the hill I shook his hand whole heartedly and pray UT made the right decision to let him go... then when we got into the stadium, hardly anyone around us was a season ticket holder- these people sat there like globs of human flesh... my hubby tried to get them fired up but no good... After a little bit several more got into the game but there a whole lot of people glaring at those of us yelling... I'll be so happy when our program gets back on track and people are there for good football, not to just be there.......

GO VOLS......
GO BIG ORANGE ......

Our Vols are not motvated at all thought they were going to get a easy big win. I know the offence couldn't score on a blind peewee football team out withdave clawson time for a real coach

no because he can't coach the QB's or put together an offense that score more than 7 points againgt ******* Wyoming

He sucks

I am not pro Clawson. A lot of our problems are the coaching staff. But, some of you need to get a clue. I don't care if Gruden was calling his West Coast offensive plays like Clawson. You can't execute any good play calling with NO OFFENSIVE LINE, WRs drop lots of passes and run wrong routes, and QB play is horrible. Stephens is better than Crompton. But, that isn't saying much. Most junior high QBs are better than Crompton.

It is the reason Fulmer hung himself. He was too loyal or too stupid to fire Adkins. Our line has went downhill ever since Adkins starting messing with our OL. He was TE coach and OL coach in 2003. In 2006, he was promoted to OL coach.

Our rushing in the SEC was 10th in 2006, 9th in 2007. All because Cutcliffe had Ainge getting rid of the ball so quickly. We were somewhat effective on offense. Cutcliffe knew our OL sucked!!! We will be last in the SEC in rushing this year?, probably!!!

I will say Clawson needs to teach them to quit taking sacks. Throw the ball away unless it is third down, instead of taking sacks. Negative yard plays kill your offense.

The Rocky Top Horror Show is almost over, thank God. It is time to clean house. And, get some coaches who kick our players in the ass and hold them accountable!!!

Do you think if Fulmer made Foster run until he threw up during practice after the personal foul vs UF that set the tone for the season? We would be having all these problems. It is why all the players love, but don't respect Fulmer. Fulmer is way too soft toward them!!!


You have to be able to run the ball and stop the run in any conference, especially the SEC. Unless, you can pass for 400 a game like TT. You won't win championships that way!!! Fulmer said after we got our tails kicked by Nebraska in 97. You have to win the wars in the trenches. Hello????.... Wake up Fulmer, you aren't winning the wars in the trenches when your team isn't able to run the ball.


Here are the rushing numbers from 99-07. It is bad when your HC was a former offensive lineman and offensive line coach. And, you are in the bottom 5 in the SEC in rushing from 2002-2007 with the exception of one year!!!

Fulmer is a joke. Mike Berry and David Cutcliffe did well with our OLs. Cutcliffe is a great QB coach. A HC should be able to coach QBs. Fulmer can't even coach players how to block anymore! I won't be crying during the UK game!!!!!!!

Hey Fulmer, make sure you take your buddy Chavis with you!!! He is another reason you hung your own neck. You had to be loyal to him. 167 yards rushing allowed versus Wyoming. Are you freaking kidding me?

Yes, they have a decent run game. But, no way they should have rushed for 167. When they only put up 99 yards passing! Put 9 in the box like everyone else does us Chavis. Oh, I forgot. You have been coaching under Fulmer for years. What do you know, right?

NUMBERS IN BOLD ARE OUR RUSHING TOTALS AND RANKING IN SEC.

Without covering all of that somewhat lengthy post, I willl point out that, as the above quote shows, a compentent offensive coordinator was able to find a way to overcome those deficiencies and still score points.
 
I think I'm the only one that felt like we were going to lose this game yesterday. Over the past 4-5 years, if you watched the program, you could tell that we were a team that was falling completely apart at the seams. Luckily, we had some lucky breaks and some genuinely talented players to mask what was happening behind the scenes.

The appreciate for Fulmer stops for me post-2002. There's no excuse. Yesterday was just another kick in the gut from a coaching staff that let their egos and their own tunnel vision get in the way of developing a strong program.
