in response to BIVOLAR_BEARE: Might be the biggest commit since Peyton Manning, and certainly one of the state of Tennessee's biggest names in a long while. Stay healthy and bring Beech another state title this year.

SevenT,8inarow, think thats just a coincidence . this is one person probably has several other names too.
in response to kyvol98: UK All-time record 580–582–44 (.499) And you are laughing why? As for WKU, sure, they will come into Neyland 1-0, but leave at .500, something you aspire to be.

sevenT,8inarow and probably several other screen names is the same person . part time gator, part time KY fan , uses his face for a Fulmer futon cushion . just POed cause his boy Fulmer got canned .
in response to billythekid: This is getting old. I don't like repeating myself. However, for the sake of education i will. 1. "Bama Dave" upon being hired said he was going to consolidate UT's athletic programs saving them money. To date, he has fired women and simply replaced them with men loyal to HIM! He also publicly slandered a former lady vol employee which will cost UT millions of dollars. 2. Hired Sal Sunseri, nothing better than a position coach and handed him 2.4 million to field the worst UT defense in it's history. 3. Refused to let anyone but himself have any input in the new football hire and was turned down by everyone on his list. Jones is here because no one else would work for Hart. The question i ask you is what has this buffoon done right?

whats your beef with Hart ? give me a little detail so ill have a better understanding of you disdain for him .
I didnt hear anyone mention Tennesse Tech , their not above getting slapped around for a pay check, Iowa in 2011, Oregon last year and Wisconsin in 2013 . All schools play cupcakes, and some even play tiddlee winks .

in response to voloffaith:

naa, he is the same dude who poses as a Ky. basketball fan(sevenT) and probably several others . he is bitter about Fulmer getting canned and takes pot shots at the vols with multiple screen names and talking to him he appears to be older which makes it even funnier . i bet there aint but 1 or 2 people who post most of the drivel , they just use different names.
i forgot how nice the black jersey's looked , i wish U T would wear a little black more often i think it pops with the orange .
in response to 8inarow: They said they didn't want their RPI to take a dive by playing a weak team, so they asked for UF over ut.

dude you can use all the different screen names in the world and it aint going to bring Fulmer back . so go take the poster down from over your bed and change your skirt .

in response to SevenT: Every program has the blind foolish fan who follows their team and knows nothing about any other program or sport outside of their area. The problem with that type of fan is they are unrealistic about having rebuilding years and what it takes to be consistently good over long periods of time. The result is they make a lot of noise and suddenly a knee jerk decision is made based upon ignorance like firing your Hall of Fame head coach and replacing him with an unemployed / fired California surfer punk that can quickly wreck a program. Fans such as BiPolar are much to blame

and then there are fans like you who keep their head up the rear end of a coach who had some good years a lot of which was established by a previous coach . a lot of coaches could have did a lot more with the talent your precious Fulmer had . see 2001 choke . but go ahead and keep your head up in the shade of another and spew your ignorance until things turnaround .you are such a moron you think UT is what they are because of Fulmer when in reality(which apparently eludes you) Fulmer is what he was because of UT. spew on idiot probably never even buttoned up a chinstrap in your pansy life !
in response to billythekid: Watch out Climer. The tyrants of this site will ban you for telling the truth. The last three years down for UT? Why we were on the cusp of greatness? Just incredibly bad luck? This year we are all the way back? As we speak, the whiners on this site are trying to eliminate any Climer articles from ever appearing on this site again. How dare he tell the truth.

"we" Toddy your delusional , wearing a maxi pad aint the same as wearing shoulder pads . Climer has his moments ill admit , but dont put it past him to babble on . no matter what the state of the program is now , its not Butch Jones fault . say what you want at least he seems to be closing the recruiting gaps , what more could you ask at this time of the year .
maybe he was on this site and read some of these posts and wants to transfer to a school with brighter fans .

im probably toting the "comment removed" line here but i bet if we met them they would probably have Fulmer's butt impression on their face , they just cant move on !
interesting opinions on the non conference schedules ,i guess since i rarely pay for a ticket it really dont matter to me . regardless of who the Vols play out of conference their schedule always seems to rank in the top ten in strength of schedule so i dont know why it really matters .While i am getting older i can still remember how sore i was the day or two after games and i imagine these players need a few cupcakes here and there just to survive a season in this league .

in response to RollTideJoe: I remember a few weeks ago several Vol fans bashing Alabama about taking commitments over twenty-five. Funny how it is different when it's the shoe on the other foot. What those whiners didn't want to accept then, but do now is the bottomline has to meet 25 when signing day comes around unless you have the opportunity this article describes due to changes with previous classes, etc. Nick Saban can do no more or less than Butch Jones or any other coach/program when everything is measured against the grand total.

obviously you must see the writing on the wall or you wouldnt have started spending more time on this site. Hurd and im sure there are several others Bama would have taken that UT has committed . And while i know the Tide have nothing to worry about in the very near future i am sure seeing the recruiting rankings up to this point , especially A&M and the Vols starting to split talent that in the very not so distant future would have worn the Crimson has got to make you a little worried . Anyway , those who hint that taking to many commits is bad business shouldnt be taken serious anyway .

i think granny Clampett used to refer to them as cubbords . and she was from "down in the holler" a way . that dude might needle on here with KY. basketball but he is a Fulmerite currently residing at green acres trailer park in Powell Angeles .
you can tell by the offensive line commits so far for the 2014 class Jones is heading in a different direction ,big and lean as opposed to massive . Also Jancek recruiting Vereen shows these dudes know what their doing . If they sign two top 5 classes , which i think is very possible going by what they seem to be doing so far , i think we will be in good shape going forward. History is on Jones side . “They’ve been waiting for Tennessee to wake up. And now we’re waking up.” I guess some of the best athletes see that too !
in response to SevenT: Dooley thought since LSU and Alabama re-do their turf so should Tennessee. Now that is pretty hilarious. The Doolaid Drinkers bought everything "Coach" said hook line and sinker.

in response to OrangePride: Excuse me for pointing this out, but you are one of the worst trolls out there and NEVER have a good thing to say on anything orange.

Were the others who tried to be positive about things wrong? Given where we are now, yea...we were. The man didn't get it done. BUT....this ridiculous notion of, "putting their infatuation with a haircut above Tennessee Football" comment is so preposterous that it nearly qualifies you for institutionalization! Are you really allowed out of the house unsupervised?? We all need to know...aside from bashing everything Tennessee on this site.... what have YOU done to support Tennessee Football?? That's what I thought.......nothing!

i get the impression im not the only one who dunked your head in the toilet back in the day . Hart too ?
i guess i will never understand the reason to extend a contract that does not even expire for 5 more years , seems like a fad only at UT .I do think up to this point Harts' performance has been satisfactory but extensions that far in advance have always baffled me , anything can happen and sour the whole deal, guess i would have to see the buyout clause to really know for sure . the word panic always comes to mind whenever i see extensions this far in advance .

in response to oldster: If you were shocked, I am shocked at you. I thought that you knew something about football. Clearly, if you think that a golden arm offsets a lack of brains, maturity and work ethic as a quarterback, you do not know as much as I thought. The only reasons that I am "enjoying" his failure is that it fulfills my projection and will, along with Da'Rops similar situation, serve as an object lesson to someone (surely) and prevent at least one (surely) from repeating their stupidity.

to say your enjoying someone else's failure because it would make your prediction come true is a sad sad way to be . and the scary part of that train of thought is it comes from someone who apparently is older .

in response to BruisedOrange: Comment on the PAST:The 2001 loss to LSU illustrates how critical game-planning is in top tier college football. We had more talent and experience than LSU, but we were prepared to beat their starters. After they lost their starting QB Davey--AND running back (Toefield?)--in the first half... they were no longer the team our guys had game-planned for. It's ironic. If LSU's starting RB had remained in the game, they would have had Mauck handing off to him instead of running himself, and we would have won. Comment on the FUTURE:According to the article "Fulmer hopes athletic director Dave Hart is addressing some of the institutional issues that likely contributed to UT’s decline." "Hopes... is" indicates he doesn't know if Hart is or not. Which means all these changes we've been reading about are evidently NOT (in Fulmer's mind) the critical ones. I think that's the real news in this article.

that 2001 team was IMO Fulmers best overall team ,he should have hoisted the trophy that year also. i think what led to UTs decline in football was poor coaching that eventually recruits started to notice and went elsewhere ,you have to admit some of those offenses under Randy Sanders were way to predictable, i think the bad sentiment towards Fulmer was already growing and Clawson just happened to be the scapegoat for lack of a better term . i think the "institutional issues" have alot to do with money which was never an issue in the athletic department as far as i can remember while Fulmer was here . i think some of these people who keep whinning about Hart trying to trim the budget in the womens athletic department dont know what their talking about , the dope above "dipthruandthru" acts like he knows what happened between Hart and Summitt just likes to run his pie hole to hear himself . when you look at the salary of the womens strength and conditioning coach compared to some of her male counterparts it just goes to show there are problems when you weigh what those programs bring in compared to what they spend. I also cant believe some morons keep crying over Charlie Strong just trying to paint Hart in a bad light , Hart made the best hire possible IMO ,sure looks that way on the recruiting trail and i would think those kids have more info than most of us keyboard coaches .

in response to banners: What a bunch of knuckle draggers you all are! What happened, did she get the house and all when she left your DA for a younger man? Obviously, women have gotten the better of you from your attitudes and crude comments. Hart has dismantled the only respectable division of UT Sports, as if it would make the constantly plagued with misconduct men's sports look better. The creep pushed the best basketball coach in the nation into retirement, ignored employees with decades of experience and success, even took away a whole marketing division by dropping the Lady Vols logo. Hart is a complete idiot. So is the UT administration if it thinks in this day and age it can discriminate against women in salaries. Mason, Moshak and Schlosser all are ASSOCIATES, not assistants, and work for all 11 women's sports. You can't compare their salary to a football trainer. You think the athletics department is broke now, wait until they lose all these lawsuits! Worse yet, the University will lose all the experience and proven success of employees who created one of the premier sports departments in the nation and delivered eight national championships. Hart isn't qualified to carry their lunch. UT administration has forgotten that, like all major U.S. universities, the school has a majority of female students that fork over the money that pays their salaries. They ought to be grateful.

wish i could argue with you but you might be right , probably a little bit of both !
its almost impossible for kids to do drugs nowadays and play sports . i went to Powell High in the early 80s and during school one day they brought in a patty wagon and loaded it up with half our cheerleaders and a few of our football players including our QB(seems there was a narc afoot within our school) . playing buzzed was the norm . I dont know what Marlin did or didnt do , rumor on some of the other boards is he was smoking weed , and while i understand thats not cool in this day and time these are in fact kids , and i got to tell you if a little weed was the worst thing alot of these kids do or have done to me its just not that big of a deal . i do like the fact it seems to be dealt with in private and with todays media and technology I know thats difficult .
