We should have a better season this year. I only see us loosing a few (maybe3). The only time I see our :censored: handed to us is in the Bama game due to the :censored: coach Fulmer screwing it up for us. Other than that we should be fine. I say we can beat CAL in a close one.

Would you like to tell me Coach Fulmer's record vs. the Tide?

Thanks...

After this mysterious ticking off, we are 0-1. So what is your story now??? And by the way to all Tide fans, about 6 other SEC coaches told on Bama during the whole payoff. Not just Fulmer. He has been the scapegoat and yall wanna keep crying about it. Rammerjammer up your a$$.:finger3:

Not to mention the best bammer team in a decade only beat the worst UT team in a decade by 3 points on a freak fumble.

:elephant: :bammer:

This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time. Alabama isn't even one of the 5 hardest games on our schedule.

Uh, and bama fans loved Fulmer before last year.

Guess Fulmer had better watch his step, hate for mad fans to cost us another game. :post-4-1090547912:

Vols go into Bama with 2 losses or less. Look for absolute revenge spanking. Ticked off? If UT isn't ticked off about losing that game last year, they have no heart... and they are far more talented than Bama at this point.

BTW,

Ainge plays to 100% of potential- UT loses no more than 2 and may run the table. The schedule though tough is favorable with the worst road game coming at UGA.

Ainge plays 90%. UT loses 2-3.

Ainge plays worse than that. UT loses 5+ starting with Cal. He won't finish the season as QB under this scenario. By less than 90%, I mean less than the historic successful QB completion ratio of about 60% and more int's than td's plus several mental errors per game.

All he has to do is not turn it over like last year. Don't throw it if you ain't sure. This is where he looked like crap. This is for sure Cut's focus in the next two weeks. Put him pressure situations to learn how to make the right decisions. He will be fine. :crossfingers:

If he can't handle the pressure of a scrimmage and actually winning the job for once then how's he going to react when he's behind by 4 with a minute left on UGA's 45 facing a 4th and 14?

He hasn't performed at 70%+ since his Fr year, has he?

Ainge doesn't have to do it all. He just can't undo it all.

Shuler won the job.
Manning won the job.
Martin won the job.
Both Clausen's won the job.

My question is when is Ainge going to fill out his own skin and be man enough to take charge of this team?

You know what? It might not even be that. Sometimes you can reach a point in a leadership, high profile position when there is so much water under the bridge that the best option is to move on.

There comes a point when no matter what you do, you can't win people back over. I've been through it myself and it is very painful. You never want to admit that you can't do it. You never want to acknowledge that you have ultimately failed at something you had more than enough talent to do well.

He wouldn't be the first good leader/guy to have a relationship with a group of people and an opportunity go bad beyond repair. Maybe the only thing that will ever turn EA around is if he goes somewhere else and starts over. If there is any truth to the rumor that his teammates still don't accept him, nothing else really matters.

Heath Shuler's downhill slide in the NFL started with just that kind of situation in Washington. For whatever reason... you even had people like Desmond Howard... that's Desmond Howard a near complete flop himself and very conceivably the worst Heisman choice ever... calling Heath the worst QB he'd ever played with.

I don't buy the argument that he is ruined because of the past. He has two years ahead of him and if he can rise to the occasion this year and really play to his potential and then adds on another year of greatness, no one will ever speak of the last two years again. Let's wait until after Saturday to really decide whether or not we are doomed to repeat the past.

Go Vols!

I definitely agree. However there is an internet rumor running around that players have expressed that he isn't being accepted. That is a bigger problem than bad passes or any other mistake he might actually be the cause of. Mistakes will happen around him if they don't trust and believe in him.

He has the talent without question.

From reading the quotes from the coaches, I don't think a repeat of last year is on the agenda. I don't think it will be musical QB's. But I don't expect that "unacceptable" performance or "surprises" will be tolerated by Cut either.

It will be orderly but I could envision Ainge being benched in favor of Hardegree until he "lights the moon" or else Crompton is ready or for Crompton to come in right away and do OJT.

In fact, I think it would be a great story if Hardegree came out of nowhere to be a star... it wouldn't hurt UT with in-state recruits either.

BTW, I don't think asking him to play to the established standard for UT QB's is too much to ask.
