Go ahead, losers/haters, spin this one. Tell me how Spurrier, the “genius”, wasn’t able to contain McFadden but Fulmer WAS. And revisit the UT/South Carolina game for me. What was that result?!

Tell me how Fulmer’s team just held the HEISMAN candidate to an insignificant number of yards. And please explain how other “good” coaches haven’t been able to.

Go ahead. And please use “FOOLmore”, “Fat Phil”, and all of your other retarded derogatory nicknames for our head coach. That merely exposes you as being the fools you truly are.

Yes … I said “fools”! And that includes all of the above losers/haters.

This was only one step toward the goal. We should keep this in perspective. There is 2 more very important games ahead.

The Vols played an exceptional game today and handed the Hogs a good old fashioned beat down. But i also remember a team that destroyed a UGA team and came back the following week and laid an egg.

So it was a great win and we should all enjoy the victory. But i wouldnt purchase tickets to Atlanta just yet. Lets see where the ball bounces. We still have to play Vandy and UK not pushovers by any means.

Great win and give credit where credit is due. With the exception of the offensive lull early in the fourth quarter, it was an excellent game plan and it was carried out by the players very well. McFadden is still a great running back but they kept him off the field and bottled up for the most part. The Vols didn't let it turn into the track meet that I suspected and that was a great move.

A couple of things to note for some our erstwhile "experts" and I told you this early in the week:

1) Do not make out like Arkansas is the second coming of the New England Patriots. The evidence was and is clear that they were not. Please refrain from further analysis of our opponents unless you want to be objective.

2) Please do not bring up comparative scores in the future. I told you they have no bearing and they do not. It's game to game and anybody with half a brain knows that. (I'm certain Bama is happy with the win over UT but it didn't mean a whole lot against the Bullies, did it? Nor did the fact that AR played Bama close.)

This team is still maddeningly inconsistent but they are on track and you have to give them credit for that. Two more to go. Just do it.

Here's to hoping that the fair-weather pretend-fans decide to move to Alabama and take your money with you. If UTAD/VASF has any sense of dignity, they should send a letter to all donors that have been calling for Fulmer's head, asking them to donate to Saban's salary fund next year. Adam Henry's, all of you.

I am always happy to be wrong about the outcome of a game when I think UT is going to lose. Seems Fulmer needed some strong motivation and I'm glad it worked. Wonderful job. May the former players put an add in for the next four games. Bama got beat by Miss. State. Oh yeah!!! sure wish we could erase our bad memories.

Excellent D strategy - "build a fence & don't be a gate." No one running around out of control today. Stayed in their gaps, kept inside out leverage on the ball carrier, and time after time just stoned the blocker. No. 5 was hit first by his own blocker as often as not just because the Vol defenders just were stuffing their blocks. Take this and build on it for the next two games. This was as good a defensive performance a Vol team has turned in for a while. Hope the "lights come on" theory sjt18 has been touting has really occured and these guys play this way rest of season.

Heading back to Fayetteville
Hogs can't seem to win in Neyland
Reckon they never will

Trying to beat the Vols must be maddening
Same old gameplan by a Nutt
Thought you could win by just McFaddoning
and Jonesing the ball up the gut

Chorus:
Arkyhogs you'll never be
able to beat Tennessee
In good ol Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee

Who'da thought we'd win with defense
Man, what a terrific relief
All you Fulmer and Chavis naysayers
Can kiss the arse of the Chief!

Easy there jweaver3. As much as I usually disagree with volcr, tdtn, jwray...etc, they are usually at the games unlike many of those already on here. These guys may not want Fulmer as our coach anymore but at least they aren't idiotic about their posts like firefulmer/hiresanders who simply rely on hate mongering without ever backing up their points.

Fact is, the only thing worth talking about right now is the well executed game plan on both sides of the ball our team pulled off today. This was a big win. Let's hope we can perform equally as well over the next two weeks and give ourselves an opportunity for payback against LSU.

If Fulmer and the coaching staff continue to improve then the players will also and we all will be just as supportive of the team as are the "former players".

I loved Fulmer getting out of character and going for it on 4th and less than one in our own territory! The players love it when the coach believes in them like that.

Let's keep it going and steal back our SEC championship that we gave to LSU in 2001!!!

Great game. Its great to see Rogan on kick offs I look forward to seeing him around for four years! Great game by our defense (I would have never believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes). I think it helps when the QB is awful. The good news is Vandy's QB isn't much better. So lets kick Vandy's butt and then get ready for KY. P.S. Lets hope Goergia punishes UK and dings up a few players (Woodson and there RB's) just enough to miss one week.

Solid on all aspects, especially TACKLING!!!! About freakin time on that one. Not worried about Vandy, we just need to use this same gameplan for UK to keep woodson and that offense off the field, if not, they might pick on our freshman (vinson/berry) all day long.

And if you have a problem with negative posting, please respond to this:

"Every time you guys talk bad about us, we play good,'' linebacker Jerod Mayo told the media, "so keep talking bad.''

I guess we need to keep talking bad about UT, because when we are positive we lost by 39 to UF and 24 to a very mediocre Bama team.

Are you saying Vandy and Kentucky are at a higher level than Arkansas? Which of these two teams are you predicting we are going to lose to or are you simply shooting off at the mouth?

At some point you have to celebrate wins and get over your own ego or Johnny Majors man crush, whichever it is.

Oh Crap,

Another victory. We must get Spurrier. Only he can save us from the SEC Championship game. The coaching staff obviously doesn't have a clue judging by the fact that they shut down McFadden and co.

I was hopeful, though not confident, the D would turn in this performance. I thought the capability was there and they finally showed.

FULMER HATERS: I've got nothing to rub in your face. If you really want to see a change, hope TN wins out, SEC Championship game, bowl game and all. He would like to go out on a high note and that would be high. It's win for him, win for you. The next coach may not be a winner for any though.

How can I not question you being more loyal to being right about the coaching staff when this team keeps proving you wrong?

A simple "I hope I'm wrong" in front of your doom and gloom statements would at least show some kind of orange blooded nature.

By the way, when people talk about giving money to the program, I say 9 out of 10 times it's complete BS. Those that usually walk the walk have no need to talk the talk.

What a great win for the Vols,shutting down a first round draft choice running back and showing some offensive muscle as well as great D.

UT footbal thrives on defensive stars that step up....Mayo and Berry are this game's examples, and McCoy is close also.

I think the Vols can handle Vandy. However, I live in Lexington and the Cats really believe that this year they can win. The Vols need to get mentally prepared for this game: they have the talent but they need to put KY away quickly. They can do that with a dominating defensive game and hard hitting....just like today. Go Vols

Amazing how so many of our ''fans" feel the need to make excuses for our victories. Before the game, all we heard was that AR was really good, Darren McFadden would win the Heisman trophy today, and how lopsided our loss would be. After the win, Arkansas is obviously not very good (ask Auburn, Alabama, or SC), McFadden played poorly, Jones got hurt, etc... Bull, bull, bull. Wins are wins, period. If you don't like excuses when we lose, and I don't, please don't insult my intelligence by making excuses when we WIN! This team has problems, mainly with consistent play. It may be coaching, it may be talent, whatever. But not today. The team today was magnificent and deserves that recognition. If they lose in the next two weeks, they will also deserve the criticisms. But that's for another day. Today, in case you forgot, we won - big. Go Vols!!!

We *should* have lost against So. Carolina...which would have made today's win pointless.. I was wrong on GA. I posted several times that I thought we matched up well against AR.

So here's a positive post for you: We should manage to best Vandy... However... KY will remind everyone that the Vols still haven't resolved the problems in their secondary...

McFadden apologists will point toward another 100 yrd game in his career but fail to mention that they were 100 pointless, fruitless yards in another loss. If someone saw ARK play for the first time, that someone might ask what the hub-bub was all about. He didn't stand out on the field at all.

Ok nayers, here's some facts about this season that show there is room for putting aside the coaching debate and just cheer for our team the rest of the year.

Phil is not getting fired this year. We won against a pretty good Arkansas team by 21 points. We're leading the East with Vandy and Kentucky remaining on our schedule. There is no such thing as "should have lost" when you win or vice versa. We're undefeated at home but only 1 and 3 on the road so we will need all the true fans we can get in Lexington. We've won 6 of our last 7 games. Our defense is coming together and our offense is averaging over 34 points a game for the year. Our special teams are starting to make plays. Our frosh are starting to make an impact. It's great to be a Tennessee Volunteer.

Retiredvol hit the nail on the head.... which team will show up for the next 2 games.

I've said all along I felt we were in need of a coaching change. Contrary to some others that seem to have some personal ax to grind with Fulmer or others on the coaching staff, I do not. I hope the "change" has been made in the attitude and approaches of the staff by all the controversy we've had this season to that point. NOTHING would make me happier than to see Fulmer and staff get the fire back in them and convey the same to the team like they obviously did today, and keep it there.

The "stay the course" Fulmer fans have made excuses after the losses this season that I have never agreed with. "The talent level is down," "We've had injuries in positions with no one capable to fill in," "parity in the SEC," etc.

I've always felt we have the talent if the coaching staff would simply do their job in getting those players to play at the level they are capable of, with enthusiasm and desire, and do so week in and week out. Likewise, the coaches needed to "coach smart" in play calling and defensive sets. All this happened today. It also happened for the Georgia game. It happened for half of the Alabama game. (Yes, they played well against what was basically a high school team last week, so I don't count it.)

I'm so proud of the Vols today. Both the players and the coaching staff. However, I'm also reserving judgment on whether they've turned the corner until the next two games have been played. I hope we're headed back to those halcyon days.

It is easy to blame coaches for losses, because year after year the players change and the coaches stay the same. It would be easy to blame the talent of the players, but year after year the same coaches bring in great talent.

The real changes come week to week. Talent is a given for most of these guys. Skill on the other hand is learned through experience. Freshman lack this, mostly because they were the best players on their team in HS. That changes at this level. They might just be average at this level. In most cases it takes all their talent just to play at this level. Then it takes those game experiences to improve their skills.

Coaches can teach you the required methods, but it takes the athlete to execute and develop to the next level.

Secondly, Injuries have a major impact on the successes of a team. Felix rode pine all day for a hip pointer... Did it impact the game? Would USC liked to have had Booty all season? Would we prefer Ainge to have a healthy throwing hand? Yes, Yes and Yes.

I am not going to blame the coaches for our losses, and not praise them for our successes. Instead, I will continue to support this team on their road to Atlanta, as they play inferior teams and Win games they should have lost.

If we win the next two... I see us being ranked around 15 and playing a 1 for the biggest game of the season. That is if.... Not a we will. I will watch next week and look forward to us slamming yet another dore on the nays.

Go Vols.

Fulmer saved his job today, and as I sat in the stands I realized how bad we as UT fans could have it. Can you imagine having a Heisman candidate touch the football only 22 times? If I was the head coach of Arkansas, McFadden would run the ball so much he would need a wheelchair to ride around in the other 6 days of the week he'd be so sore. I was a guy that was on the fence about Fulmer in that I think he is a stand-up guy, but I thought it might be good for a change in the program. After watching Houston Nutt-job and that coaching staff lay an egg with some of the dumbest playcalling ever, I would say we on Rocky Top don't have it too bad. Everyone needs a fire under their cans every now and then. Let's keep up the good work and prepare for every team with that same chip on our shoulder

I want to make one point to all the people who want Fulmer gone. Look at UK Basketball. A immensely proud program with a coach who had struggled in recent memory but had a National Championship sitting in the trophy case with his name on it. They said he wasn't developing the players, or that the recruiting was not what it should it be. His name was Tubby Smith and they ran his a$$ out of town on a rail. He's now coaching at Minnesota, who won their season opener. The new, hot, upcoming hire was Billy Gillespie. Anyone hear of Gardner-Webb lately???
Be careful what you wish for UT Fans. Personally, I'll take Fulmer and make the neccessary changes each year to keep up. It was a great day for UT Football today, let's enjoy it and the ride they have and will continue to put us on!

Hasn't there been enough calling Fulmer supporters Foolmerons, and calling those who are critical of the current coaching staff loosers/haters?

Supporting Fulmer does not make one a fool, nor does being critical during a lack-luster performance make one a looser/hater. If everyone had the same opinion, this would be a boring place to converse about UT football.

Go Vols!!! We just shut down the best running back in the SEC in at least a decade!! Most of his yardage was second half meaningless yardage!! Let's keep focused and beat the dore's and the cats!!!

I have been critical of this coaching staff this year, and several years in the past. Today, I must say this was an excellent game. It was well coached, and executed perfectly for the most part.

In that, I believe Chavis said something that could be a big reason the Vols have struggled on defense this year. This, according to Chavis, was the smallest play book he has brought to a UT game. Could it be that this coaching staff in the past has made things so complicated that it has been impossible for the players to execute everything, and hence, all the breakdowns and busted plays? Maybe more complicated isn't better. I think there was a very famous coach who said I would rather have just 6 plays, and run those plays better than anyone else. Today the Vols ran their thinned out play book better than the Hogs could run their's. Great defensive game plan.

The only thing I could say in a critical note for this team today was that the 1st kick return for Ark yielded too many yards, and the personal foul on that play was not helpful to say the least. But after that, the Vols settled down and played rather good special teams. The O line was stellar as usual, but the O side of the ball did struggle at times to gain yards
