dunno who's side he's really on there




the article he wrote about Justin Hunter's injury and the UF game he sounds a bit like a disillusioned UT fan at times (at that point)

He made it clear last year he thinks Dooley is not the answer, and since then he's made sure to keep repeating it.

Vandy can very well beat us. This isn't bray/hunter vs Larry smith.
They have a qb now, and we still don't know about ours.

Another poster on here told me they were giving season ticket holders 2 free tickets to this game, and only 25,000 were in the stands. That's pathetic imo

still though, read the Hunter article...sounded a lot like most of the fans here of "Why does this kind of stuff keep happening to us??"


2. Justin Hunter goes down clutching his left knee on Tyler Bray's first pass attempt of the game.

Unbelievable. The latest in a string of awful luck for the UT athletic program. It's a sickening feeling.

Hunter goes off under his own power, but will not return to the game. Without him, the Vol offense, previously explosive, begins to look downright pedestrian.

It's possible this is the worst offensive loss for the Vols since Jamal Lewis tore his ACL in the third game of the 1998 season. The difference back then? Travis Henry was Lewis's back-up. The Vols have no such luxury at wide receiver. True freshman D'Anthony Arnett comes in and plays decently, but he doesn't in Randy Moss's words "take the top off the defense" like Justin Hunter did. This doesn't happen to Alabama with Julio Jones or with Georgia with A.J. Green, yet as soon as the Vols finally have a top-ten draft pick at wideout he goes down.

Absolutely crushing.

Only his knee wouldn't let him, buckling in the process. Immediately Hunter began writhing in pain. Tennessee's players gathered around him. The Florida jumbotron showed the play a single time; the Gator fan base collectively groaned. And just like that the Tennessee curse was back, alive and well just when it seemed that Tyler Bray and the Vol offense were poised to exorcise the demons that have tormented the Vols for the past three years.

Enthusiasm was at a ten-year high in the state of Tennessee.

Then down went Hunter and as quickly as things had been going well in the Volunteer state, the Vols were back to square one. "It was clear," Dooley said, "that it (the Hunter injury) was a break in their spirit when you see it happen, I mean the whole team sees it happen...I could tell right when he went down when I saw Tyler walk over there and all the offense it was going to affect them, but you've got play out of it."

The Vols didn't play out of it. Not well, anyway. Nor could they contain Chris Rainey who sliced and diced his way to over 100 yards rushing and over 100 yards passing.

In the end, the seventh win in a row for the Gators looked a lot like the previous six, Florida was simply the better team in all facets of the contest. But what was achingly painful for Vol fans is this team never really got to see what it could do against the Gators with Justin Hunter.

I wouldn't go as far as saying they are the best team in TN; however, TENN is going to have to fight to hold on to that title. Not saying this will be a long term thing, but Vandy being better than UT this year and the next few with these crazy recruiting classes they have is not out of the realm of possibility.

You really think there's a chance that Vandy is better than we are when we are full strength? What are you chasing your Jack with? Jim?

Well I don't know if you saw the Arkansas game but they definitely should have won that, or atleast gone to over time. They just destroyed us.
With Florida Vandy kept it going into the fourth and had a chance to win, we had Bray and didn't.
If Vandy returns that blocked punt for a touchdown they beat Georgia, another team we couldn't score on period even with Bray, I'm shocked Simms threw a TD.
They play better than we do and much more competitively in their losses, we do not.

This is my concern. They look better in almost every phase. Especially coaching.

And they are what? 2-5 in conference? Losing with a positive energy! :blink:

Franklin is a fresh breath of air for the Commodores, but I don't really think that he's the next Bear Bryant.

No...but he's just the next young coach that looks like he is coming to Neyland and beating us. We are horrible this year...people need to get over it. It's not 2001.
