Written on Another 'back breaker' seals fate for Vols, 8-4:

Baseball is totally different than basketball or football. The talent just isn't there ....yet. They can play with all the passion in the world but if you don't get clutch hits and don't have solid pitching you can't win on emotion. Give Serrano time. This was a very young team.

Written on David Climer: Titles can't erase SEC football's weaknesses:

If 5,6 or 7 finish in the top 30 or so that means some of the others have to have beaten by them. The conference beats up on each other. Should they all go 11 and 1. That would be impossible. Really stupid statement and really stupid article and really stupid of Climer to agree.

Written on Tennessee defensive back Daniel Gray to transfer:

Players transfer all the time for a variety of reasons. Things are looking up for football. Don't be a downer. If the team followed some of you guys lead they'd never win another game.

Written on Father of Trae Golden says reports of academic problems are 'totally inaccurate':

Never fear! Hubbs will step in and do a Bernard King impersonation next year.........I hope.

Written on 247Sports: Class of 2014 suprise recruiting classes (free access):

The Vols recruiting looks great so far. We shall see in about 3 to 4 years how great !

in response to allvol32:

Pitiful is right - I truly feel sorry for these sick pups who have nothing better to do than act like 3rd grade ankle biters with soiled britches and snotty noses. I can only imagine what their sad pathetic lives must be like.

I feel sorry for their mommies.

Written on Too late at the plate in 10th for Vols, 3-2:

This team desperately needs some power hitters and to win a few close ones for some confidence.

Written on Butch Jones' UT commitments high-ranked:

Wish kickoff was next Saturday !

Written on Rawane Ndiaye signs with Tennessee:

What's with the Maymon comments. You guys know something we don't? I have a staph infection in my leg. Don't know about Maymon but that shouldn't prevent a return if it's being treated correctly. That's assuming that's the problem. If it's a structural problem then that's another tale.

Written on How will you take in the Orange and White Game?:

Who has the tv replay ?

Written on Vols hold off Kentucky, 10-9:

Also the lack of maturity shows in blowing late inning leads. This will change.

Written on Kentucky pounces late to overcome Vols:

Lead off walks or errors in the late innings in a tight game will kill you everytime. [said Captain Obvious]

Written on Tennessee RB Marlin Lane out for 'disciplinary reasons':

Man or mouse Marlin ? Man or mouse ?

Written on Tennessee baseball gets pounded again; Dave Serrano apologizes:

in response to arkyvol:

I think the real credit goes to dubya.

Complete and total liberal idiotic irresponsible BS. The one we have now has thrown gas on the fire.

Give Serrano time. He doesn't take the field his players do. Better players will come in time.

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

Yawnnnnn !!! Somebody say something ?

Written on Cuonzo Martin says Missouri win is biggest so far at UT:

Don't let up now !

Written on For Vols, Auburn game one of two 'we've got to win':

in response to volposter:

It seems to be limited to some cable systems in the southeast. Cable systems elsewhere and Dish satellite generally do not carry it, we were told, because the pro sports coverage is limited. As mentioned, check ESPN3 on your computer, and hope that is not blacked out in your area as ESPN has started doing some games this year.

They also have carried a lot of Lady Vols games in the past

I have dish. My stupid ISP Communicomm doesn't carry ESPN3. I'm in the process of changing ISP's to a 25mb connection. Phew !

Written on For Vols, Auburn game one of two 'we've got to win':

What the He77 is CSS and how come almost no one gets it ?

Written on Jordan McRae trying to stay focused amid SEC player of the year, NBA rumblings :

Hey Jordan: two words- Scotty and Hopson.
You're more talented but get another year of seasoning !

Written on Former UT football player Dennis Rogan arrested :

Whoever was advising this kid to leave school early should be shot.

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

Man I hope all the positives and strategy of this guy translates to the field of play. If so the Vols are on the way back.

Written on John Adams: Recruiting a running battle for Vols :

in response to volthrunthru#658770:

Apparently others have had doubts about Jones. For instance, this USA Today story:

http://www.floridatoday.com/usatoday/...

UT folks had to have known about this story. He, of course, led Cincinnati fans to believe he was going to stay in Cincinnati, because it was "all about the kids," says the article.

He did not tell them, apparently, that he was praying everyday that he would stay there.

Good thing he didn't. Hope Notre Dame or USC or Michigan, all of which he would be inclined to look at seriously, were to call him up.

I can barely understand anything you are saying here. Incoherent !

Written on In Knoxville, Butch Jones, John Jancek talk up defense to fans hungry for improvement :

I'm for shutting down all comments on news stories for a while. Maybe the trolls and fans of other teams will move on to being idiots somewhere else.

Written on In Knoxville, Butch Jones, John Jancek talk up defense to fans hungry for improvement :

in response to td:

Absolutely, the 2012 Vol defense "hoovered" in the 3-4; but the two teams that played in the SEC Championship game (both) aligned in the 3-4. It ain't the scheme as much as the players with the talent to execute the scheme and a coach who knows what scheme his players can execute. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Took the words from my mouth or keyboard !

Written on Arkansas' in-your-face defense too much for Vols, 73-60 :

One more year and there better be improvements in both play and recruiting or the Cuonzo train may be leaving the station.

Written on Tennessee governor says Vols must fill Neyland:

Win ten and they will come !

Written on Cuonzo Martin: Vols are in a 'grind':

Sounds like Dan Skipper just put the grind to UT as well.

Written on Should the Vols recruit more junior college football players?:

Yes ...for the next couple of years.

Written on Fulmer says he'd be 'willing to help' ETSU:

I attended ETSU my freshman year back in the the Neanderthal days. I would instantly be a fan again if Fulmer helps them.

Written on Vols have reason to smile, 54-53 over Alabama :

About danged time the Vols got a break or call to go their way. They're still way behind on catching up.

Written on UT tells students not to paint Rock to welcome recruits:

NCAA doesn't like the 1st amendment. Reminds me of someone else and the 2nd.

Written on Mike Strange: Something is missing ... Vols looking for a closer :

At this point I'm not going to be a supporter of CCM , as much as I like him, as long as I was Dooley. Things are way to similar.
Why can't UT ever seem to find a shooter like Henderson. With the exception of Pearl's teams they always seem to have a bunch of brick layers. And really, do they ever practice free throws ?

Written on John Adams: Opportunities for major wins coming up for men's and women's basketball teams :

UT doesn't play enough pre SEC season games. They need at least two maybe three more. Pad the win column. Any team from the SEC with 20 or more wins stands a better chance of making the tourney regardless of RPI. Having said that they can't lose a bunch in the SEC either. I've never understood the long breaks between games around the Thanksgiving and Christmas interim.

Written on Freshmen Derek Reese, Armani Moore 'growing on the fly' :

Hope these guys don't shoot a bunch of thuds and bricks at Ole Miss. It would be a big win for them. Not expecting it but hoping.

Written on David Climer: Vols staff looks close to home for recruits:

The more I hear about Dooley's recruiting practices or lack thereof the more glad I am he's gone. And this comes from someone who supported him steadfastly his first couple of years.

Written on David Climer: Vols staff looks close to home for recruits:

Pretty much sums up why Tennessee football is in the shape it's in. First Fulmer dropped the ball, then Kiffen let the air out and Dooley threw it in the trash.

Written on Vols 'can't be passive' against Kentucky :

I'll be surprised if the Vols score more than 50.

Written on Vols lose to Ole Miss, 92-74 in SEC opener:

Very very very disappointed in this basketball team. Not much else to say.

Written on What position is the most critical for the Vols to focus on in recruiting?:

How in God's name can you choose just one area ?

Written on John Adams: Time for 'serious' changes at Tennessee :

Not sure about all the ideas but I sure agree with the intent and think positive encouraging changes would be welcome and fruitful.

Written on John Adams: 2013 could be bad for blondes, good for Vols :

Was this any good ? I never read this stupid stuff.

Written on Vols hold off Western Carolina, 66-52:

WC could have been called for twice the fouls they were. Barely stopped short of actually tackling and punching the Vols in the mouth. I'm surprised there were no fisticuffs.

Written on Mike Strange: Vols dominate for only one half, but that's enough :

in response to Volunatic:

Are the women's teams at Presbyterian College called the Lady Blue Hose?

Lol I certainly hope so !

Written on Tennessee snaps scoring slump, beats No. 23 Wichita State, 69-60 :

in response to lomas98:

If Kenny hall and josh Richardson went to the line tonight as many times as golden and McRae did, the percentage would have been a lot lower and probably a much closer game. Hall is shooting 52% from the line. How is that much better? A coach can try to improve form and practice all day, it still comes down to the player making the ft in a game situation. I was commenting on someone giving credit to Martin for the ft shooting. They are just as likely to shoot a worse percentage the next game with coach Martin doing the same things.

Actually he didn't say better; he said "different" Coaching changed his stroke. May improve percentage wise over time. We'll see.
