Written on Butch Jones stays on go in rebuilding Vols:

in response to voloffaith:

At this point in his brief tenure can't fault effort. Yes we all know the program is judged by the on the field results. That being said, also a builder understands about having a solid foundation so his work will not suffer due to shortcuts taken to get the product out there quickly. In today's society of quick fix,fast food mentality most fan bases want the quick fix and forget that foundation stuff. Somewhat the mentality of a former coach here now on the west coast. "The wise man built his house on the rock." Not on the sinking sand. Are we as fans in it for the long haul or short term gratification that will most likely have a repeating cycle of disappointment due to shoddy base/foundation? I'll take steady growth that points toward future quality versus the give me now or I go home mentality.

Written on Butch Jones selling Tennessee's brand:

in response to BIVOLAR_BEARE:

Apology accepted and noted..As far as people believing in fairy tales, what difference does it make? We all have things we want to believe; When I was a teenager, Roger Staubach was akin to Superman in my eyes. He's a super person that happens to be a HOF QB, but he's no more of a spiritual being than myself. We're all equal in that regard. I don't understand the animosity toward people you only know through the media? Has Dave Hart or Butch Jones ever wronged you or that other cohort, Jeff? Because unless you've had your head in the ground, CBJ's is doing wonderful things on the recruiting trail. UT is neck in neck with A&M as the top class in the SEC for 2014. That's what the story was all about, but you're going to make petty differences of opinion ruin your day..For shame, I'm off to play golf now..P:)

BB..Roger Staubach is still my favorite QB of all time...I love Peyton too..My Dad and I used to watch him when I was a young girl..we both loved watching him play..

Hope the 2013 squad and those that follow learn a lesson from him and D. Rogers. Guys, get your act together....all of it. The SWAT concept
S- study film and playbook
W-work your butt off every practice
A-attitude- poor attitude will kill great talent
T-talent- "be all you can be" Someone said that.

Good luck to TB and to the 2013 squad. GBO

The team still needs some work, but I liked the effort and the tempo. The atmosphere was awesome for a spring game. Great turnout! I was pleasantly surprised. The campus and strip looked and felt like football season!

in response to BIVOLAR_BEARE:

Me, also..I supported CDD, but by no means believe he was the right man for the job..With CBJ (who I lobbied for after I knew Strong was a serious candidate) I felt he was perfect for UT, he's got a proven record, and proven system. He also flooded the NFL with 2&3* athletes; So, just imagine what he'll do with 4&5* talent..GBO!!

CBJ is one heckuva recruiter, not only with athletes, but fans as well..You can count on my support, coach..GBO!!

I agree Bear...I am so excited...looking forward to the O&W game this weekend...I think CBJ has us going the right direction. Evidenced (for the trolls) by the recruiting..and methods he uses to maintain focus. We will see come Sept. how it translates on the field. GBO!

in response to gc_scvol:

Sorry I didn't get to read the removed post. I have other things to do, so I missed it. But, if it was bad enough to have the KNS police remove it, I must have really gotten to you. Mission accomplished. From a couple posts later it sounds as though it might have been a threat of some kind. You really don't want to go there.

Trust me not worth your time to read it. Especially from someone who cannot spell Saban correctly. Anyhow..GBO!

Written on GoVols247: Florida WR becomes ninth UT commitment:

in response to vac:

Another personal attach. Can you dispute what I wrote? I thought not. I hear the same thing when they hired Dooley. How he was going to bring those 3* in and coach them up. It didn't happen. We got the same media hype that we are getting now. And three years later I think we'll be getting the hype about the next unqualified coach UT decides to hire. As long as they put tails in Neyland with a sub-par product they have no reason to hire a coach that will actually compete.

I give a coach at LEAST a season before I pass judgment on him..we have a few 4 stars one 5 star and it isn't even football season yet. MUCH better than Dooley in the 3yrs..I don't like it when people makes a judgment on a coach without him coaching a game.

What was Hurd's rating? even the great Sabini has 3*'s sprinkled in with his mega boyz................vac is your favorite Eureka or Hoover?

Written on Peyton Manning on Butch Jones: 'He has it all mapped out':

in response to SevenT:

Peyton should stick with resurrecting his career in Denver and selling cars on TV commercials because nobody is going to buy any of this jazz.

Jones was about 5th on the Vol wish list behind Chuckie and Charlie Strong and everyone who follows this program knows this is a dud/thud hire just like Dooley and Kiffin were duds.

Since Fulmer is gone the program has fallen apart,

Just Saying

and you should stick to your own fan site

Written on Tennessee Vols again vow to improve:

in response to movol53:

Ok so they were disappointed that they did not make the big dance - - cry me a river. They were invited to the NIT and they accepted the invitation. Now show some PRIDE and defend your home court!!! Want to PROVE you were snubbed by the NCAA? Then go out and win the NIT; show everyone the selection committee made a mistake. Over the years lots of big time BB programs have ended up in the NIT; so do something with that chance. Watching the game I noticed a couple of things. Seems as through the starting line up was different than during the "run" at the end of the season; so why change it? Why did Chevios start?? And there was another player (forget his name) that took Richardson's place. Strokes looks so awkward when he dribbles the ball two - three times and then he seemingly has only one move to the right and then a little hook. Seems he can't get off the ground when he is around the basket; he's not above the rim much like most big guys. He needs to work on his vertical. Team loses two seniors and hopefully they gain two incoming players that can immediately take the offense to another level; McRae can't do it alone; as he got help from others inconsistently. And then he is inconsistent as well. Some have stated that Martin shows no emotion on the side line. That is NOT his personality. He has learned from his life experiences to be even keeled. He does have passion for basketball and UT. Some keep comparing Martin to (I could have a heart attack at anytime)Bruce. They are simply different personalities. I've been watching Vol sports since the 60's and I love to win but this NOT playing because you got your feelings hurt is NOT acceptable. I love my Vols but this team has got to get better.

Just one last thing; PLEASE watch some film from Bruce's teams as how to defend an in bounds pass and more importantly how to score off in bounds passes Bruce's teams were pretty good at those two things.

Well said; But under Bruce; they also stunk at making FT.

Written on Tennessee Vols again vow to improve:

Vols...I support you..but you HAVE to step up...my daughter in HS shot90% on free throws..her coach told them freethrows could make or break a game..she ran the team doing suicides and if they made 9 out of 10 shots..they could stop..this was at the end of practice...now being college players I would expect no less...run 1 mile them shoot free throws ..get 9/10 you can stop running..do that starting now

Written on Evan's Eleven: 5-star RB Jalen Hurd's commitment to Tennessee is biggest catch of Butch Jones' tenure:

in response to orangecountyvols:

Exlineman, and other legit Vols,

I've enjoyed your informative comments. You, Vol43, Johnlg, Gerry, NavalOranges, the Doctor, USAF etc. etc,
gosh it's great to know there are people here who want to stand behind the Vols........a nice departure from the idiots whose 'mission' here is to simply show their rear ends, run down the Vols, whine about the past..........such as the WiltedFlowers idiot who has this passion to dwell on individuals..........Karl Kremser, Glenn Ford, and most recently......Derek Dooley. We'll be enjoying Tennessee football in the future, and this jerk will be standing outside Neyland Stadium with a loud speaker and bill board hanging around his neck ........screaming to anyone who will hear him and his warped mission.

Yes, some of the trolls are the same person. The rest of us keep our same screen name and don't have to be banned and keep coming back here with a new one.

And yes, talk about insecurity........the individual who runs down the Vols and puffs up his 'diploma' as if he is the only one who can claim the allegiance.

Coach BJ is heading in the right direction. We move forward with him,
with no concern for the trolls and whiny birds ...........

A+ but do not exclude yourself! GBO!

Written on Mike Strange: Justin Worley hopes to capitalize on head start:

in response to SouthPaVol:

Having watched game film from all five QBs, I would take all five. We are blessed at QB and our cup runs over. Unfortunately, one will start, two will have hope, and one or two will leave. But still guys...five QBs! When has the Vols ever been so lucky.

One might consider a walk-on to have the least likely chance of starting, but I am not in that crowd. Charlie High is an impressive young QB by any standard. He has a quick, accurate release, plus reads into the second and third receiver; the numbers don't lie--a career with over 10,000 yds passing and a 72% completion rate.

My left-handed comment: we have five legit QB candidates and what is building up as one of the best QB battles I've seen or heard of in my 50+ years. Let the "cream" rise to the top. Go Vols!

Good post...we could see 1or2 of the QBs could have a position change instead of leaving.Hopefully they can redshirt both freshman...I know High is a good kid with talent...could he be a good TE?
