The problems started even before the play.
Ole Miss went to the Wildcat with Dexter McCluster more often, a move Tennessee wasn't expecting and part of its regular alignment issues.

I heard someone say this lose is Coach Orgeron's fault. He is the one that recruited Dexter McCluster to Ole Miss. Now that was funny.

Hey MV, your boys ready for James and Julio? They look like they're ready for you! Just wondering...

That is because UT isn't very good. However, like most UT fans, you think they should be #1 and think there is some sort of conspiracy because you aren't. When will you start screaming for Kiffin's head?

He sure sounds like one. I used to be a fan. Then I "divorced" them. Not because they've had a tough run but because our fans are so fickle. UT wins, everyone is happy. UT loses, fans jump off the bandwagon two at a time and play the blame game. "It was the officials", "it was the coaching staff", "it was ESPN", "it's a conspiracy"...etc. I just got tire of listenting to it. So I got out and try not to listen to anything regarding UT football. Not easy to do in east Tennessee. I still root for UT in every other sport. However, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if UT lost every single game for the rest of eternity. I might tune in then just to hear the massive whining that would take place. Sorry man but I just had too much of it.

Fact is Monte has had problems with "college" offenses the whole year. The spread and wildcat are things he just hasn't seen much yet.
UT did a good job against Florida, but even Ohio, as well as Auburn and Ole Miss really caused problems.
Monte has eaten up pro stuff like Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
Not surprising. But Monte's got some homework to do this summer.

MV whatever is definitely not a Vol fan. He is a gator fan. He loves to come on these sites and make an idiot out of himself. And if you try not to listen to anything regarding UT football, what are you doing reading these articles/blogs? Just stay away - that way you won't have any stress. "Our fans"? If you're not a fan, wouldn't that be "their fans"? The large majority of fans are not the ones that whine and complain. It's just the few trolls, interlopers, and idiots that cause most of the problems.
But you're really here because you are having trouble with the divorce, aren't you? You want to come back . . .

LOL - touche
Yes, I was checking out to see if there was any whining, you got me there. You're probably right about the trolls, etc. Who knows, maybe some day I'll be back.

So if you are no longer a UT fan why are you on OUR UT web site?

"Austin Translation: Kiffin, Vols still counting missed tackles"
All the UT coaches and assistants do not have enough fingers and toes to count the missed tackles. And stop picking on Monte. He can only coach. The players who had their arms around the legs of the runners and quarterback .... but failed to finish .... they are the blame here. And volswithclass ... you are comparing apples and oranges. Chief is gone. Get over it.

just stay away. you are about as much a fan as the clown MV
Golfer77 writes:
You're obviously one of the trolls. To make a statement like you made is tactless and juvenile. I would venture to say that I've probably done more in my life than you have ever thought of doing. You're probably not even a veteran of our armed forces. Just one of those lazy people that sits around and lets everyone else do the work.

Yeah, just what I thought. You still live with mom and dad too, don't you? They must be very proud of what you've become.

Funny that Ole Miss fans were booing Orgeron. If anything, they should be thanking him. After all, they are playing with all of his players!

If you are looking for a team with fans that don't whine and cry then you are looking for a team with fans that don't care. It's human nature. Check out any other board, college or pro and I'm sure you'll find the same theme. Even undefeated teams have fans that cry about being disrespected, etc.
As for the guy with the potty mouth. Yeah, juveniles. But what can you do. He's 50 something and still hasn't grown up.
