It never ceases to amaze me why people like you continue to hang around where you're not welcome. I don't get it. It's no skin off my nose and there's no way you could explain it anyway. I reckon the 'dores' don't have a fans' website. Why don't you try a few other sec websites. You never know, you may find one that fits. Just trying to help.

And one other thing...this is a forum knucklehead. I'll "hang around" long as I wish...

You know, I've been asked to explain my position a couple of times. I am not a "dore' fan. I do have a sentimental place for them...they do it right. I actually graduated from UT (77) and pull for the Vols on most ocassions. I do not like "homers", regardless of the school, VU included. Homers are annoying...blind loyalists. Doesn't matter if they're Red and White, Orange and Blue or Red an Black. They're blind...and obnoxious. The most discouraging thing about this site is the way some UT "supporters" blatantly attack any person with a differing opinion. Doesn't matter what the topic is...if they don't bleed orange, they're attacked. Sad. Go ahead and nose dive for your school. You have that right. I just wish that more folks on this site had the ability to engage in an intelligent discourse about objectivity. Nuff said.

Uhhh, why would a commode-dore fan attend the ND/UT game? And don't give me that garbage about you whipping anybody, any UT fan no matter their stature would beat you like a rented goat.

A "rented goat"? So, you know about goats and sheep? Wow. So you know sheep can't talk. Please supersize my order when you finish cleaning the toilets. Thanks.

No need to apoligize there fat man. You plan on being at Dudley on Nov. 17? I hope so. I wouldn't want you miss such a glorious and wonderful day. You like to think of yourself as an intelligent one. Give me your prediction of the game between candy and The University of Tennessee. I'll wait.

Fat? No, not really. Anyway Vol43...I think the Vols take Vanderbilt by maybe 10. UT will be much better this year. Vanderbilt will be about the same...a 6 win season.

I'm sure you are correct, but I do remember an incident when I was about 12yrs old leaving the Liberty Bowl after a loss to Old Mess. A drunken rebel fan grabbed me by the throat and yelled "Go to Haell Big Orange"!! My father (who I compared to a silver-back at times) beat the cr@p out of this clown. The Memphis police set back and watched until the beating was completed and told my father to go home..There are times when drunken SEC fans can cross the line..GBO!

And in 1990, I went to the bathroom at halftime of the UT/Notre Dame game. An elderly gentleman who was a ND fan was simply waiting in line to p_ss...and a drunk UT fan shoved him into the wall. He p_ssed himself. I had the honor of walking up to the UT fan (big guy, I must admit) and asked him if he "felt better". He made the mistake of attemting a roundhouse swing at me. I just ducked and belted him straight in his gut. Watched him puke. It was pretty. Like you say, there are times when drunken SEC fans cross the line...

A troll's definition of ownership. The only way the C.o.c.k.s beat us this year is if we're having another 5 or 6 win season (which ain't gonna happen). In the last 20 years, the only times we've lost to the chickens: 2005, 2008, 2010, 2011. The four worst seasons in the last 20 years. They can't beat us when we have a decent team, which we do.

BTW, KNS, "C.o.c.k.s" is not a vulgarity. It is a trademarked South Carolina mascot and logo. How can you run a site for news and discussion of SEC sports and filter out the name of one of the teams? Get over yourself.

OK, so you're mouth is cashing checks this early? Your butt probably needs to be ready to pay big guy....so,SC won't beat UT? OK, back it up.

History lesson--One of the best all around Tennessee high school athletes ever. Single-handedly beat and embarrassed Oak Ridge in 1961. We should treat him as one of our own instead of scoffing at him like we were spurned girlfriends because he didnt go to UT. UT was not exactly clamouring for him to be a Vol at that time.

in response to chuckfromwoodberry:

The ONLY reason Spurrier didn't go to Tennessee was that we were running the single wing and Steve was a true quarterback. Being from East Tennessee his DNA dictated that he wanted to wear the Orange but he knew his skill set didn't match what the Vols were doing at the time. I think as he is getting older the Orange in his blood is starting to show through.

Yeah, right.

So, does Mr Spurrier see a few losses in the conference for his boys? He appears to be hoping for the Vols to help him get to Atlanta by beating one or two teams he may lose to. Of course, when the Vols beat him, his plan will backfire.

10, SC will beat UT.

Written on Mike Strange: Can Tyler Bray make a pass at Tennessee's record book? :

in response to Rich_Is_Re-born:

http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-foot...

Stats from today's scrimmage. A solid day from the RBs. He might be small, but Devrin Young continues to be really consistent running and catching the ball. Really good to see Q. Watson with a 61yd scamper. However, he had 6 carries for 60 yds...ouch. THE BIGGEST THING........Palardy 4-4 on FGs, and Darr 43 yard average on punts. If Bray goes down or gets in trouble, I REALLY thing Worley is ready for the big show. Looks like a good productive day.

Seriously, you're that engrossed with UT football? Wow.

in response to GiveHim6TDTennessee:

I'm a Vol fan, born and bred and I have a great reputation on this board. It just sucks to see people like you and the rest of the fans who feed into their negativity. The reason the Jeffys and Co. stick around is because people take time out of their days to respond. What's the point? They're called trolls for a reason and all they want is a response. Why even acknowledge them? They aren't Vols and they certainly aren't fans so I don't understand why a board that should be comprised of mostly adults acts so childish. Take your post for example, what did it have to do with football? Nothing; just derogatory BS that brings nothing to the table at all. Stick to the name calling and prepubescent jokes while the men cheer on the Vols or maybe if you want to find the real idiot analyze your post.

Written on Derek Dooley: Vols will hit the field at full gear :

in response to volthrunthru#658770:

This comment may be inappropriate. Reveal this comment.

UT under its present leadership---including the Board of Trustees that hired this sequencial stupidity---is awash in inferiority:

Bad coaches in all major sports, except Women's BB.
Bad coaches after bad coaches.
Bad Athletics Director after Bad athletics director.
Pat Summitt, living national legend and treasure, pushed out the door by the AlabamaJerk,Supported by the FloridaScumballs.

And from some of the people on this board and other places with chatboards, who can lose a lot of money if people stop clicking, we get comments like "we need to support our coaches; we need to support______."

The real deal is these people do not deserve supporting. They are guaranteed to lose; they are guaranteed to screw up; and they are guaranteed to make UT look like the laughingstock of college football.

Maybe you do not remember, but Phillip Fulmer's last year % before Hamilscum fired him on Monday of Homecoming---the one that they used to fire him---was better than Dooley's entire career.. Pearl could have been kept---and with him winning basketball---if Hamilscum and the BOT had really decided to defend him, instead of running their mouths that direction, but feet walking another and mollifying Commissioner Slive.

The baseball program now has two bad hires to replace Delmonico, just like the Football program has to replace Fulmer. The two top people in the University are the third group of bad hires, also; just like the (formerly) men's athletics.

Predictably, the crown jewel of women's athletics in colleges in America, UT's, was disbanded by Hart and fellow losers.

And the scum running the place pushed out Pat Summitt!!!!! Sooner or later somebody has to look at the Board of Trustees and say, "Enough!"

Yet we have people on this very board and elsewhere suggesting that loyalty should prevail, and that we "Support" those jerks?????

Those who advocate that are naive twits or comatose.

GoVols. And we need VOLS with integrity and morals in charge @ all levels, not pretenders and Alabama or Florida rejects...

or misfits and the amoral.

Take a chill pill.

Written on Mike Strange: Vols' woeful running game needs a fresh start :

in response to Navaloranges:

Maybe it's just me but Bray has only had two one half seasons of games under his belt. That's one full year. Game-wise, he's headed into his sophomore season. So, after one season on the field and two off seasons of conditioning, playbook study, and more defensive alignment study, he should be vastly improved. That's the natural progression of things. You need book AND field study in college football. Bray is on par with any other QB that has that amount of time in. The stigma that Bray cannot "read a defense" is just a stupid rumor started by mental midgets like seventeen, wally, and merlot, on fan sites like this one. They are FAKE "fans" that are here to discredit, nothing more. Bray will be much wiser and more decisive as a junior, naturally.

Feel better?

To tell everyone how hi of an IQ one has is the fastest way to show everyone how little sense one really has , you wouldnt know any people on here like that would you Navy ? Second of all I never said Dooley couldnt win 9 games this year , I just said i thought it was foolish for that to be his win total or else he should go mark. And thinking Missouri is a given win , with their success over the last several years compared to ours in the same time span is a dumb statement in my opinion . JMO

I don't see this as an anti-Dooley "spewing"; he makes a logical argument and voices his opinion. Nothing wrong with that. It is, after all, a forum I suppose. I'd forgotten the Clabo brothers until you mentioned Phil. Wonder what this poster means by Clabos fake?

in response to laraccoon:

Anyone who expects Dooley to win 9 games has little or no football IQ .it took Johnny Majors 7 years to win 9 games , and Dooley inherited a much worse program then Majors . And also Majors had less recruiting restrictions and no NCAA cloud hanging over his head . most sensible people besides you and your dweeb pal know rebuilding correctly takes a few years .

I have a pretty good football IQ, actually. Johnny Majors was in another era when he took over in 1977, 35 years ago. The pressure to perform/win is far greater now because of the multi-million dollar revenues expected from the muti-million dollar investments. Dooley enters his third year with 19 starters, 2 AA receivers,arguably the best or second best QB in the SEC, a very experienced OL, Sunseri (everyone calling him a savior)and a defense which I think will be much better than predicted. Then laraccoon, do look at the schedule: 3 laydowns, UK, Vanderbilt should equal 5 wins. MSU and Mizzou should be wins= 7. Beat either NC State (UT 6.5 pick Vegas) or Florida= 8. Beat both= 9...or split and win mid level bowl game= 9. Simple math. How's your IQ?

in response to CoverOrange:

Reading this you would think Georgia was in a boatload of trouble. But they should be co-favorites with SC for the east. Florida's defense should carry them through most games, but their offense is a question mark, of course. Mo has the exact opposite prognosis. UT has a question mark on both sides of the ball, which could be good or could be bad, too many variables with all the new coaches. could be fighting for second or sixth. Make or break year. Vandy will upset someone big...or implode.

Not true. ESPN has broadcast a number of games into the night with the past lighting in place. One eye shut?? And, SC may in fact beat Vanderbilt. They'll beat a lot of folks this year. But only if there is a SC passing game to compliment Lattimore's running. Stop him and they have to throw.

Written on David Climer: Tennessee Vols can't afford Tyler Bray's antics:

in response to Vol43:

One more thing, Navy, about your friend Climer. Climer would make weekly guest spots on local radio here in Nashville. I have never heard him speak kindly about UT football. Maybe you have. He joins a long list of UT radio celebrities who either dislike UT or have turned their backs on UT. Bill King is one. He used to be a big UT football fan. Then there was Joe Biddle, George Plaster and more local radio people who just plain don't like UT. I know of no local radio guy who has a kind word for UT.

I never said David Climer was my friend. I said he is not a Vanderbilt supporter. The fact that I used to get into pick up games with him at the downtown YMCA doesn't make us "friends". Actually, to your point, I don't recall Climer speaking fondly of any program. I do know Biddle pretty well. He used a lot of sarcasm in his writings; not a Vanderbilt fan by any stretch of the imagination. Bill King just got burned out. Having 7 kids will do that to you. Plaster is a Vanderbilt grad and really doesn't like UT, that I give you.He does, however, like himself too much for me. Maybe instead of blaming all the local Nashville radio personalities and saying they all don't like UT, consider why. Maybe it's a perceived arrogant attitude by UT and or the fan base. I don't know. But I'm not losing sleep over it.

Wow Navy, no point firing the 16 inch guns. I have been a Tennessean subscriber for more years than I would like to admit to, but I can tell you, fellow sailor, that I know that your buddy writes much more favorable stuff about the dores than the Orange. You don't have to get all pissy about it. As far as finding reasons to dislike him, I think there are more than enough. Thanks for playing.

You haven't seen me use the 16 inch guns...and no, we'll just agree to disagree about Climer and favorable Vanderbilt columns. And I wasn't getting pissy. I just think the repeated counter point that Climer is pro-Vanderbilt is a tired, over used comeback whenever Climer writes something that the Vol Nation doesn't like. I first met David in 1983. He is not a Vanderbilt supporter, has never been a Vanderbilt supporter, never will be a Vanderbilt supporter. That's the simple truth. If you feel there are plenty of reasons to dislike him, that's ok. May be. But don't count the myth that he is a "dore" sympathizer as one of them. He takes shots at Vanderbilt often.

Climer does get carried away especially when he can trash UT. Then he brings up the episode about Peyton (yawn). Climer is a dore plain and simple. Nothing more need be said. Screw you David and your Tennessean fishwrapper.

Climer is not a "dore", period. I used to play basketball with him some during lunch years back at the downtown Nashville YMCA. He has no love for Vanderbilt; never has. Find reasons to dislike him if you wish when he writes about UT and you don't like it. But the claim that he's a Vanderbilt fan is inaccurate and getting stale.

I can't decide if Adams is trying to be objective and fails, or simply trying to be coy.

By all means, let's keep blowing this up and making it a national scandal. If this is the worst thing that happens with one of our players in the next four months- I'll be happy.
Being a father of seven, we would all like to think that by the time our kid is a junior in college they have matured and become a responsible adult. Time and experience has taught me differently. "Just because" means nothing, and every kid matures at their own pace- in due time. In no terms do I condone TB's behavior, but I am neither surprised nor am I shocked at "silly" stuff by a student who is constantly under the type of pressure and scrutiny of TB. I am not down-playing beer bottle tossing as a minor event, but I don't confuse it with assault or armed robbery either. CDD has placed a lot on this young man with the maturity hype, and just because most think it's time to happen doesn't make it necessarily so. Lord knows I can't cast any stones, I've been there and done that. All I'm saying is that this is being sensationalized beyond what it is. So he's not reached the maturity level that's been placed on him. This kid doesn't seem to fit the cookie cutter mold anyway- so be careful of what you place on his plate. If he throws for 300 yds. per game, has fun doing it, and receives an education in the process...it's been a good ride.

Well said.
