Go Lady VOLS beat Misery....

Written on Texas A&M's stadium to exceed Neyland:

in response to WetumpkaThumpa:

Please leave TN. I'm not jealous of anybody from a school with a fan base that poisons trees and joins other school's websites to talk trash. Football just isn't as important to me as it is to people like yourself and Harvey Updyke. Grow up.

Gotta watch what you say to Bammers, they may try and poison THE ROCK!!! GO VOLS!!!

Written on Alabama starting guard Trevor Lacey transferring:

Wish we had him, but we have number issues already. GREAT to have Stokes returning, so much for Pearl getting all the credit for Stokes!!! Coach deserves credit for letting him make the EDUCATED decision. Reminds me of Peyton coming back because he loved the school!! That is another VFL!!! Go Vols!!!

Written on Tennessee football post-practice report: Preparing for Orange & White game:

It would be a shame if we can't get at least 50,000 out for this game!! Where are you if not here? I am traveling almost 500 miles round trip with my wife, one son and three grandchildren.

So, I WILL look around and ask, WHERE ARE THE REAL VOLS???? GO BIG ORANGE!! It's almost FOOTBALL TIME in TENNESSEE!!!

Written on Some UT walk-ons could get rare stage at Saturday's Orange and White game:

GREAT News!! Enjoy the moment!! GO Lady VOLS!!

Written on Season ends for Vols in NIT opener, 75-67:

Pathetic!!!

Written on Mike Strange: No more sitting for Vols' Quinton Chievous:

He brings excitement to the team when he is in the game. Interesting stat line on wins and losses when he plays or sits....just a thought. We need ALL the help we can get today against BAMA! Living in Alabama and a Tennessee fan has definite challenges, but I meet all of them like a TRUE VOLS!!

BTW, I anoy Tide fans here when I agree with them on the "roll tide roll"

...I simply finish it by adding "round the bowl down the hole, ROLL TIDE ROLL!! Then I excuse my self and tell them I feel like I need to take a BAMA!! Where was that men's room anyway??? GBO!! BREAT BAMA!!

Written on In full-pads practice, Vols crank up intensity:

What a difference already! Identify (weakness), Solidify (strength), and Multiply (READINESS)....As I OFTEN last year,...JUST HIT SOMEBODY!!!!! I don't think THAT (HITTING)will be a problem this year!! GBO!!!

Written on Jay Graham reunites with Randy Sanders, Sal Sunseri at Florida State:

Sorry news for such a good weekend to end on....Looking for REAL VFLs!!

Written on Jay Graham leaving Vols for Florida State:

Sad day.....where have the VOLS gone!!??

Written on In Butch Jones' 'VOLympics,' UT players will earn, lose points for actions away from field:

in response to VolAlumbutBamaFootballFan:

If you go to jail, your off the team. Period.

You spell like a BAMA FAN, most of us on this board know you meant to use "you're"(which means "you are"). Sorry I had to say something after seeing more that one your in the wrong (3rd grade) context!! VFL!!

Written on Tyler Bray, Justin Hunter, Cordarrelle Patterson, Darrington Sentimore to NFL draft:

Written on New UT coach Butch Jones in Knoxville:

in response to albert63:

65 percent winning percent...is that good?

Better than Dooley's from the beginning!! VFL!!

Written on Do you believe Butch Jones is the right choice to be UT's coach?:

Let's back OUR Coach folks...we can complain but htat DOES not build loyalty!! I HOPE he IS the right choice and a diamond in the rough!! GO VOLS!! VFL!!!

Written on Should Tennessee consider re-hiring Phillip Fulmer?:

in response to pcorange:

Anyone who says Fulmer is the reason we are in this shape is either ignorant to reality or is just completely incompetent. Phillip Fulmer is the best available coach out there right now. He bleeds orange. I was in favor of a change in 2008, but I am man enough to admit it was a dreadful mistake. We need to grovel and beg Coach Fulmer to come back home and help us dig out of this cesspool we've become.

AGREED...there WERE issues with Fulmer but nothing like what we have gone through the past four years!! The song says "You don't miss what you've got TILL IT'S GONE"!!

Written on Tennessee's coach search turns to Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy :

in response to mountainbrook:

Petrino has allegedly been hired by Idaho:

http://espn.go.com/college-football/s...

Read the story and you will discover that it is PAUL Petrino!!! NOT BOBBY!! Geez, our trolls must love posts such as this!! VFL!!

Written on MTSU showed its stamina well against Lady Vols :

Games like this will help them later this year and maybe as soon as the next game! GO LADY VOLS!!!

Written on John Majors appreciated challenge Derek Dooley faced :

in response to gobigorange5090:

John Majors, GO AWAY!

Get a life and respect your elders!!

Written on UT men's basketball expects 3 letters of intent this week :

Move on Pearl is not coming back, neither is Fulmer... Just a fact. Love the Zo Master!!

Written on Do you think UT has made its decision to fire coach Derek Dooley?:

He has to be gone after QUITTING on his team on Saturday!! I was there and saw him simply QUIT!!! He should have walked off the filed and resigned and admitted he can not handle the pressure of coaching in the SEC!!!

I am a VFL but enough is ENOUGH!!! GO VOLS!!!!

Written on Catchings finally gets WNBA title to add to resume:

Great to see Tamika get another Championship!! As well it was good to see Pat witness the game!! I appreciate the Fever fans and their love for the game!! VFL!!!

Written on Will the Vols finish with a winning record?:

in response to TheStupidPolice:

Dooley used to be legit. He was too legit. He was too legit to quit. But now he's not legit. He's unlegit. And for that reason, he must quit.

That would take a GREAT move of character! If he quits that shows all his players that IS the answer when things don't go your way!!

They need to suck it up and just play hard and quit aiding the opponent!! GBO!!

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Could these Vols shock the world?:

I will be there too. Last Bama game I attended was in Tuscaloosa in 2010 and we lost because our kicker did not tell the coach he was hurt!

Living in Alabama all I hear is about Mt. Cody, I am sick hearing about him. It is hard living here and being a VOL fan. But, as I always told my family, "that's why they suit up and PLAY the game!"

I am yet to see Tennessee PLAY a TENNESSEE game this year, maybe Saturday!! I will be in the North endzone wearing ORANGE!! I just ask the defense to "HIT SOMEBODY!!!!! Go VOLS!! BEAT BAMA!!

Written on Kentucky lands another prep star:

Probation Bound?? Don't let the FedEx package get busted open again!! Hand deliver the goods....oops there I go again, hatin' on the Blue! GBO!! VFL!!

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Are Auburn or UT desperate enough to hire Petrino?:

I sure miss 9-10 wins a season....VFL!!

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Are Auburn or UT desperate enough to hire Petrino?:

in response to Go4Two:

Hire Fulmer back hire Chavis as head coach in waiting. This might reverse the curse.

Fulmer is probably talking to himself and saying "MISS ME YET!!

Written on Mark Wiedmer: Are Auburn or UT desperate enough to hire Petrino?:

in response to angusparvo#215458:

The comments are indicating that Vol Nation would prefer to keep on losing than pick up Petrino. Good thing we're getting used to losing.

You are a loser, character over everything! Wins can come if patient but, we are a instant society (instant oatmeal, instant grits...)

Written on John Adams: Forget cowbells; it all sounds familiar for Vols :

in response to AlpharettaVol:

Each week we make pedestrian QBs look like a combination of Peyton Manning and Dan Marino. Can't anyone teach kids how to defend passes? They seem to be so scared of getting beaten long that they play 5 yards off the receiver. Once they catch the ball, the defenders just grab him and are then pulled along for another 3-5 yards. I watched Alabama earlier in the day and they made every receiver pay for even attempting to catch a pass. Oh well, I guess this is asking too much. I'm dreading showing up at church this morning since I know I will hear it from the folks who attended schools that are actually winning meaningful games this fall. The only saving grace is that many of my friends went to Auburn, the only school worse than the Vols.

And to your point Auburn lost to Ole Miss to bring them out of an 0-16 slump in the SEC! I guess it was good we did not lose to a Missippi school or our coach would be ready to be fired like Chizik....oh, WE DID!!

Hand don your head "Tom (Derek) Dooley, hang down your head a cry...it IS your fault that the season is about to DIE!!!

DEREK: "Mom, it isn't looking very good for me..."
MOM: "That's OK we'll see what we can do for you...VINCE DO SOMETHING FOR MY BOY!!!"

Vince better share a plan to get a win against Alabama or South Carolina or it will be done on Rocky Top for OUR Coach!! Try as much as I have over 2 1/2 years there looks like the winds of change are blowing..so, another 2-3 years before we can compete with the middle of the SEC. FRUSTRATED VFL!!

Written on 40 years after playing, SEC's first black kicker watches Derrick Brodus with pride :

Good Article...I have also been rooting for Brodus...VFL!!

Written on John Adams: Vols should hope for lighter October in new SEC schedule :

in response to UTistheOLEMISSoftheEAST:

The 2001 game wasn't played in November. It was played December 1st. I'm not surprised you didn't know that. After all, you're a ut fan. Keep up the solid work.

(And you wonder why we laugh)

Now UTistheOLEMISSoftheEAST you can go back to basement and your coloring book!!

Written on Sal Sunseri: Vols get back to fundamentals:

in response to BigOrangeFever76:

I am starting to have the same thoughts Keith. Remember we gave up that huge (75 yarder or so) to Akron. UGA ran thru us like **** through a goose.

How we do against Miss State will tell the tale.

GO VOLS!!!!!

I called our defense this year the Blue Bonnet Defense we are being cut up like hot butter (I know Blue Bonnet is margarine! So Trolls relax IT IS an ILLUSTRATION).

We need to put that Defense in the Freezer and then hit somebody HARD!!!

GO VOLS!!! VFL!!!

Written on John Adams: Next up is biggest game of season :

Bama 42 Vols 14
Vols 30 south car 27
Vols 49 Troy 17
Vols 42 mizzou 30
Vols 35 Vandy 20
Vols 45 KY 13

I think our 1st big upset comes against south carolina.

Written on Tennessee's game against Akron on Sept. 22 set for 7:30 p.m. kickoff :

I hate the late start for what should be a blow out win for Tennessee. Driving up from Alabama and back on gamedays make for a long day!! I will be there and pray I stay awake for the drive home. VFL!!

Written on Derrick Brodus to handle field goals, extra points for Tennessee:

in response to DeltaCharlie3:

Oh, almost fogort. Based on the phenomenal halftime adjustments last week and the fact that he woodshedded Dooley is their only matchup:
