Written on Mark Wiedmer: Vols bring hope, joy to Adam Holden:

There are angels among us. Some have wheel chairs instead of wings. God Bless You Adam. GBO!

2009, under Lame?!?!.! Can we be a bit more current?

Written on John Adams: How the Vols could rise to top in SEC East:

in response to RealisticVol:

If you look at 100 years of football, you will see that Tennessee did not have to worry about other programs. Other schools had to worry about how to match up to Tennessee. We have the history and tradition behind us. Those nattering neighbobs of negativity that did not think we could ever recruit winners here have been shown by coach Jones what can be done here. We don't pray for others to decline. We just want to return to our heritage.

Our heritage, our tradition , our full stadium, our hospitality, our PRIDE. We have lost much and down right gave much of it away. I don't know if the Millenia UT fan understands what it is to be a Vol. Our very nickname reflects honor and pride of standing tall when others chose to do nothing. As for all you Harvey Updyke clones...the sun doesn't shine on the same dogs backside all the time.

Jackie Sherrill. What about MSU and Scam Newton?

Written on John Adams: How the Vols could rise to top in SEC East:

We will beat a Saban coached Bama team in the next three years. Lame almost did it in his onesy. Doesn't mean we will win the East. Domination and a run like the Billy Bob's have had will be tough to match going forward with teams like A&M coming in. Just need to get competitive and our chances will come. Play for and make the breaks, when one comes our way....SCORE. GBO!

Written on Mark Wiedmer: UT's Butch Jones clear winner in visit to center:

If you have not read the entire article you are missing out. Take the time. Well worth it.

Written on Tyler Bray shut out at NFL draft, but Mychal Rivera lands with home-state team:

Read all the posts and missed a couple of things the pros saw that our illustrious outgoing staff just did not get. The off field issues were minor, immature?, look at Big Ben for the Steelers. TB's problem was that he was a quitter, a loser and had no leadership skills. You don't play QB in the pros without leadership and you sure can't be a documented quitter.. I would recount all the exampes of the lack of those skills over the last three years but with the passing of George Jones I have had too much heartache for one weekend.

Written on CAK's Charlie High bulking up for QB transition to Tennessee:

Charlie High may well be the story in the making that every Vol fan longs for. Hometown kid turned SEC champion QB. GO VOLS!

Written on Florida DL coach Bryant Young abruptly resigns:

in response to ElizabethtonvolnNC:

That would be the last thing the SEC needs right now.

Give me a break. Do you really think what is good for the SEC is good for Tennesseee??? Do you think those jokers in Athens, Gainesville, Tuscaloosa et al think about the SEC when the Big Orange has the gun pointed at us. No way. They use every negative they can to keep us at the bottom of the barrel. Let em swing in the breeze. The sun don't shine on the same dog's arse every day.

Written on A.J. Johnson, UT linebackers tackling new goals :

We have been so bad. Time to make some more Big Orange Moments. Go D! I say it's great, to be, a Tennessee Vol!

Written on As UT's 2014 class connects online, Twitter ground rules aren't always clear-cut :

I will bet War dayam Eagles wish they were dealing with potential violation of Tweeting policies. Cam Scam didn't get them so they will probably side step this new crop of allegations too.

Written on Marlon Walls says hospital visit with Katelyn Norman changed his life :

Where have we came to when a heart warming story like this sparks a negative thought in any persons mind, let alone driving them to respond here with their poison. One can only hope somewhere in their life they will have an experience like Marlon did and their pitiful lives will be changed.

Written on Tom Boerwinkle, the biggest Vol, dies at 67:

I remember Stu Aberdeen using a broom to guard Tom in practice. Only way he could get his point across was to get in front of the big man and wave the broom in his face. What a line up, Bill Justus, Ron Widby, Tom Boerwinkle, Bill Hahn and Tom Hendrix. Bill-Bill-Ron-Tom-Tom.

Written on Webb School sophomore LB Brant Mitchell 'shocked and amazed' at Vols' offer:

in response to Fall_Creek_Vols:

A little early, isn't it?

,?!?! And just a few months back THE University was being chided for not going after local players and not getting in on the great players early. I think this is CBJ building that foundation to get OUR team back to the place where heart carries us over the tough spots. Witness Billy Ratliff knocking the Arkie guard into Stoerner and causing/recovering a fumble. That is heart and we have been without it for a decade +.

Written on Chamique Holdsclaw indicted on six charges:

in response to 10seVol85_Part_Deux:

A lesbian women's basketball player???? Say it isn't so!

I wonder what the percentage is for alternative lifestyle coaches and players in womens basketball?? I am guessing about the same as the men in figure skating.

Written on Never Better: Vols score biggest victory ever against Kentucky, 88-58 :

I suffered through a six month stay in the Crab Grass state and it was during the fall of 2011. Humiliation is not even close to describing losing to that bunch in football. It seems there was a bit of correction today! Go Vols! Congrats Coach Martin and the Vols. Oh Yeah.

Written on Cordarrelle Patterson invited to All-Star Challenge :

I guess I am old school but one year does not make a VFL. The guy was a physical freak, a seemingly nice guy but a mercenary nonetheless.

Did Cronan not hire Patrick?

Written on Stokely nearly empty, memories remain :

I worked a summer job while attending UT back in 1973. I worked for the athletics department on the grounds crew. We mowed, painted, cleaned etc. Phil Fulmer was on the crew. There was a practice bubble behind and across the street from Stokely. We were doing some sort of work inside the gym when Gary Valbuena, a back-up QB, walked out of the bubble, into Stokely, under the basketball goal to the foul line. He had a football and stopped at the foul line and threw

the ball into the goal on the other end of the court. It sailed right over the front of the rim and swished the net. That is when I realized how good the starting QB had to be. His name was Condredge. Hate to see the old place go. W

Written on Tee Martin turns down Tennessee homecoming, will stay at Southern Cal :

in response to usnavyvolfan__now_proud_navy_dad:

Listen, I'm no fan of the West Coast, but you need to dial it back a bit, dude! Me, my biggest beef with living in CA is that I'm sort of into keeping the money I earn instead of having it confiscated by a corrupt, bankrupt government.

You too. Dial this back. Loser.

Written on Tee Martin turns down Tennessee homecoming, will stay at Southern Cal :

in response to NeedForSpeed:

+1

Add corrupt, bankrupt government to aforementioned moral sins. The choices we make dictate the lives we lead. Loser.

We wish you were back in LA too. You add nothing to this community. The left coast is good for traitors, dope smokers and same sex marriage. Have a great life....loser.

Written on Charlie Strong spurns UT offer for new deal at Louisville:

All of this to justify going back to Gruden with a mega offer. C'mon JG, we need you...badly.

Written on Trae Golden: 'It was there for the taking' :

I am far from being a basketball coach, and we have a good one in CM. We just did not have that guy last night that wanted the ball in the clutch. The guy that will get you the 2+1 on a drive into traffic or dish to the open man for an easy shot. Maybe he is on the team but I just have not seen a creator with confidence. I hope he shows up soon as our style of play begets close games at the end.

Written on UT's offseason off to troubled start with Downs' arrest:

When I was over there legal age was 18....and we still got into trouble. All coaches, old or new, have to deal with this. Have you never heard one say, "we are talking about 18-22 year old young men". Get over it. The favorite thing to do for football players at that time was to troll Kingston Pike drive-in joints an beat the phooey out of mouthy high school kids. Never made the news.

Written on Ex-WNBA, Lady Vol player Holdsclaw in jail on assault charge:

in response to SummittsCourt:

No need for that kind of comment... just saying.

Recognizing that character flaws like this exist is one thing. Knowing through the time of man that it has been present is not justification. Tolerating it is difficult. Embracing it and supporting it is ridiculously unacceptable.

Written on Ex-WNBA, Lady Vol player Holdsclaw in jail on assault charge:

Small Mike has been right all along....just saying.

Written on Letter: Another South Carolina fan praises UT for response to Marcus Lattimore's injury:

One of the most difficult social skills to learn is how to accept compliments. Obviously some folks will never get it. Williams-Brice is a great venue and the SC fans have always been cordial, new money or not. They sure do know how to hire a coach....

Written on O-for-October: Clowney sacks Vols' chances:

So many "Why's" in this game. Why do you double team or chip Clowney all day and when you really need it try to block him with one guy??? Also, our defensive front 7 continue to look like they are painted on the opposing blockers. We can't get off a block and when we do we fall down. Embarassing doesn't even come close to describing it. We look like we are playing with 9 guys on defense most of the time.

Written on After struggling against Alabama, Tennessee's Tyler Bray skips post-game interviews :

in response to gbirchfiel:

Sad thing is, I don't even get upset anymore. I just sit and watch because thats what I've done for over 50 years. It's not the same as it was.

Written on Pat Summitt says she was not forced out at Tennessee :

Hart stepped in and cleaned out a coven of New Normal, over paid, under qualified, hangers on and is getting bashed for it. Now the same people who rode the PHS craze are using her in her diminished capacity to seek personal gain. Heck he did the same thing on the men's side with good old boys that had sucked up UTAD money for years. Get over it. Our entire beloved institution is caught in the worst circumstances imaginable and we are sensationalizing a she - beasts attempt to extort money. Good grief.

Written on Tennessee's defense can't contain its frustration :

Why do you change to a 3-4 defense, which by everyones opinion is confusing and takes time to learn, AND go to a hurry up offense in the same year? Makes no sense as we keep a confused defense on the field for a longer time. Slow down the offense with a huddle. Run the play clock down every play on O. Get a base personnel package on D that can carry out assignments and stop with all the cute and clever substitutions. I hate looking like San Diego State.

Written on John Chavis grateful for new chance:

I would rate the negative, cute, clever comments on this site about 70-30 vs those of true Vol fans. Shame on those who choose to follow that pattern. We are down. We have been down since the loss to LSU in the 2001 SEC champ game. What we need is exactly what happened with the roundballer Saturday. Derek needs that huge hire for DC and we need two unexpected, huge commitments. Believe it or not all of the programs are linked. They feed off each other. Football recruits love to visit TBA when it is rocking and vice versa for Neyland. If you don't believe in the Orange the least you could do is stay off the board. Otherwise you are just afraid of what is growing and has the potential to be something true Vols will be proud of.

Written on John Chavis grateful for new chance:

Would like to see Chief have a new chance in Big Orange Country. There's no place like home John. We need you.

Written on John Adams: Verdict on UT football will come later :

Dave Hart, not Dooley, will define what this program looks like in the next 3 years. IMO he is positioning the staff for a wholesale change after the 2012 season. This is why he is here. The transition will be painful and will take more years than anybody out there under 50 years old can imagine. The instant gratification generation might as well find another team to back until order is restored. This is going to take at least 10 years to return to prominence in the SEC.

Written on Justin Wilcox, Peter Sirmon hired by Washington:

Watching SC handle Nebraska and had to wax nostalgic. I am watching what should have been our coaching tree. Steve Spurrier was just a thought in time ahead of his true calling. Had we been running the T formation instead of single wing when he was deciding where to play his college ball how different would our landscape be now. I usec to detest the guy but now know it was because he was better than the best we had. I even wonder what it would have looked like if we had offered him when Lame left??? Don't think the Old Ball Coach would not have considered. He still knows his roots and raising. We AR in trouble and it feels just like it did before Dickey arrive in the 60's and my coach, John Majors came back after th Battle debacle. We will get through this but it has no hit bottom yet.

Written on John Adams: Christmas shopping for everyone :

in response to decades_vol:

I was having fun on my first post (about Muschamp). I'll be serious on this one. A gift like this would one beautiful thing. I've seen too much of this curse and would like to see it (and the others) disappear. Great post.

I thought the Mus-Chump post was cool.

Written on Ten-year-old cancer patient inspires UT family :

Great article. May God bless this family and provide for them this Christmas. Many Happy New Years!

For all afflicted with Alzheimer, a cure.

Written on Ex-Tennessee RB commit Imani Cross has “no hard feelings” against Derek Dooley, Volunteers:

Gotta believe there are better backs in line waiting on Graham to bring them in the fold.

Written on Source: Special teams coach Eric Russell hired by Washington State:

Come home Dale Jones. We need blood that runs Orange on the Hill. The more of those folks we get, thanks Jay Graham, the more we will see our young players learn what it means to be a VOL.

Written on Sources: Wide receivers coach Baggett has retired:

Who is left to carry on the Tradition? Why do the players not know what wearing the Orange means? Bud, Haywood, Gus, Chief, Cutt, Randy all gone. Where did the lineage stop....with Phil. Think about it. Neyland, Wyatt, Majors, Fulmer then nothing. Phil wanted no one in the wings to challenge as he knew how he got the job. outside of Cutt how many head coaches sprang from that tree? Johnny came marching home to save us from Battle. Who is left out there that
really knows what it is to be a Vol? Did anyone hear about the last tackle that has been a tradition for years? I did not.

From tradition springs passion. From passion springs commitment. From commitment springs excellence. Our spring is dry.
