in response to IPOrange: Dude, calm down. Just because your toddler flipped over on his back and kicked his feet in the pool and you've got video to prove it doesn't mean he's gonna be ready to swim the English Channel by the time he's four. I'm hopeful too, but let's keep it a little bit real. We've had six (6) practices since we lost to Vanderbilt.

You sir are absolutly correct... But in my defense, I pride my life on knowing football... I didnt have the goose bumps at all with Dooley, and after watchin the vol walk durin orange and white game some odd years back, I knew Kiffin was just using us and knew he wouldnt last long... I feel a spark about this coach that I hadnt felt in a LOOOOOONG time... Butch has just got me fired up this season and seein as I live in Mizzou right now, I only get a chance to vent my feelins here about how I feel about Tennessee sports... Up here all they talk about is Cardinals baseball... Sorry if I came across strong, but those are my feelins and I will share them until the day I die and aint no one gonna stop me unless they kill me... Bold statements have been made by me, but I not only believe em, but I stand firmly by them...
Butch is goin to turn some heads this season... Next season people will expect Tennessee to dominate and they won't be able to stop it... And by his third and fourth years here, we will be the contendin for a National Championship... Butch Jones proclaimed the storm cloud is no longer over Knoxvegas... I believe!!! Oh yeah... Also... First!!

I wonder how much you know about football bein a Kentucky fan and all... Just so you know(here I go showin you up again), Nick Saban and Les Miles BOTH offered an 8th grade, the same one mind you, a scholarship to play football at their respected University... It's okay man... Some people just weren't made to smack talk... I, again, look forward to your next post...
in response to SevenT: If one thinks Tennessee is in you are living in Homerville and not the real world. Florida, Ole Miss, Missouri, Alabama and possibly Kentucky.....Kentucky could very easily be left behind due to their poor showing in the tournament. Tennessee?? forget it be happy with the NIT

Your basketball knowledge is so insightful... Anyone with half a brain knew Ole Miss, Florida and Mizzou would make the big dance... My shot at you is more about the other two picks you made, neither of which made the big dance... How you could put Alabama and Kentucky in the conversation to make the big dance without mentionin Tennessee just shows your lack of a basketball IQ... Tennessee's RPI was better than Kentucky's... Tennessee W/L against RPI top 50 is better than Kentucky's... Oh and let's not forget, the last time these two met head to head, Tennessee won... So other than you being a regular dumbash Kentucky fan, why would you think Kentucky even deserves to be in the 'big dance' talk and Tennessee doesn't??? Gahhh you make this way to easy... Thank you... Look forward to your future posts...

in response to SevenT: I am sorry I didn't get a chance to read "heyitsme's" post. I am sure it was offensive, childish and simple minded like most of the posts the UT fans throw up on these threads.

Ahhh the irony... Which is more childish there SevenT??? The fact that someone made a smartash comment to your first childish post, orrrrrrrr the fact that it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more childish to be postin on a website that you have no affliation with??? My guess would be the second one... Gah you Kentucky fans make this soooooooo easy... Thank you... Please keep postin'...

Gah, could you imagine what Manziel woulda done to our 3-4 defense??? That woulda been a record settin day for Manziel that he probably never woulda been able to top...
I wonder who McRae would put his money on in that fight... I have an eery feelin McRae and Stokes aint best of friends... Other than that, awesome game tonight Vols... McRae played like a man possessed... Gah, I love me some good guard play... But I will say, this team would scare me in the SEC tourny...

Wouldn't Saban have to be speakin in Knoxville to make your examples true??? I bet Pat never went to UConn to speak at a lucheon, but I'd put money she would have at least be invite to some community outside of Bridgeport, to speak about life no less...

in response to Basketvol: I think Trae Golden is saying it should be "next man up" for Kentucky the same way it was for Tennessee without Maymon and for all other teams. I hope he has a successful recovery. Any chance he is playing for Kentucky next year?

Nothin official yet but accordin to ESPN the kid is still a top 3 pick... So my guess, if their word holds up, I would say no chance he'll return...
He'll do well in the league, until he loses...

in response to notfunanymore: Jay Graham was not concerned about recruiting/signing a top notch running back, he was to worried about his podium performance in Nashville and Disney World vacation. Just another bunch of clown assistants. Get used to 4-8 and 5-7 seasons.

Ya know what's 'notfunanymore'? Readin' your dumb-ash comments with all that hater-ation... Just because your life is so horrible and probably couldn't pay people to go to Disney World, doesn't mean you have to hate on J. Graham... Are you sure you're a Vol fan??? ORRRRRRRRRRRR just my guess, you're one of them trolls... Which really validates my whole 'not bein able to pay people to go to Disney World' theory... You are so lonely and sad that you have to post nothin' but negative just to get a reaction... You crazy trolls with your sad meaningless lives... Make sure you clean up mommy's basement before you go to bed...

Yeah... What they're gonna do is lock all the sanchines they have against Alawama away fer 50 years, then once Saban is dead and hailed as the greatest coach of all time, they will reopen the case, quietly of course, and review it all... Probably wind up as a slap on the wrist, but by that time they'll be the bama of the early 2000's again...

And, I sir, have lost all respect for your readin/comprehension skills... Adams didn't compare UT Athletics to fightin the Taliban... He compared coachin little league football to fightin them... Not at all sayin it's a better analogy... Maybe you should double check facts before you bash someone... If not, you really sound more ignorant than the person you're bashin... Just Sayin'

So okay... Ol' Tommy dumps the players Butch had at Cincy... According to you, that didnt even belong in the Big East... And yet, Butch Jones took those players and turned them into winners, and more importantly, champions... When will people learn that winning starts with the coaches... Welcome to Tennesse Coach Jones...
in response to FanNotSheep: It will be funny if Dooley one day lands a better situation and actually becomes a successful head coach. I doubt it will happen unless he learns to delegate responsibility and changes his approach to handling the media. But fans have no clue about coaching a major college football team, yet so many condemned him before he ever had a decent roster to work with. Imagine if the Colts had treated Peyton the way UT fans treated Dooley. Think he would have been around after that 2-14 season with all those interceptions? Just think, no Pro Bowls, no MVPs no Super Bowl ring for a future Hall of Fame QB who is re-writing all the record books, coming back from a potentially crippling injury and replacing Johnny Unitas as the icon of the NFL. I'm not saying Dooley could ever be a great coach. I am saying a great coach could have been at the helm of the UT football program that he inherited and no one would know. Just like no one knew Manning could be what he is today when he was running for his life and trying to make the leap to the hardest league in football with a horrible team.

Okay, so your post here is so ignorant, I'm not really sure where to start first... Okay, got it... They were 3-13 Peyton's rookie year... Good icebreaker... Now while Peyton and the Colts established the Derek Dooley kinda record, Peyton broke 5 qb rookie records, so if the fans woulda boo'd him out of Indy, then they would know less about football then all Kentucky fans... If Derek Dooley would have broken any records, ya know other than the whole worst coach in Tennessee history, I believe our fans might have been a little bit more accepting... Next, and in my opinion more importantly, if you didn't know Peyton Manning was a star from the get-go, you should really concider posting your football 'wisdom' on the Kentucky football message boards... They might buy it... The first time I saw Peyton Manning playin football, mind you I was 8 at the time, I knew that he was going to be great for many years to come... Of course, I watched football and knew the sport at the time... Honestly, if you couldn't see that Peyton was going to be a football phenom, you know nothing about the sport I love... You really art not post things you know nothing about... 'It's better to remain silent, and be thought of as a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.' -Abe Lincoln
I'm on board one million percent... This guy is going to do great things... On and off the field... Making this team a giant family... SOLD!!!!!!
And just think, if he'd a gone to Miami, he probably be buyin it from his QB, and smokin' with the rest of the defense... Nah, I'm just kiddin'... Miami has nothin' more than the most upstandin' players in the nation...
in response to Rumblefish: you are talking about the exceptions...not the rule. sure, there will be outliers when looking at every player's star rating and success on the field. but what do i know, right? you know everything. we should all bow down to your knowledge.

Never once said I knew everything... But thanks for the compliment... As far as the comment goes, I was just stating facts to disprove you and show people you know much to little about recruiting than you'd like to think... I believe I was able to do that... I bet you wouldnt have wanted Manziel because he was a 3 star huh...
in response to Rumblefish: That's a nice sentiment and all...but facts are facts---The only things these kids have done on the field on gameday have been marginal at best. Almost non-exhistent. I get what you're saying about the "star factor". But, signing more and more players with good ratings increases your chances of having an outstanding team. Signing kids with poor/average ratings increases your chances of having a poor/average team.

Right... Stars are a huge factory in success on the college football field... Johnny Manziel was a three star coming out of high school... You sir no nothing about recruiting, nor what it takes to be successful on a football field(if you think stars have ANYTHING to do with success). As much as I hate to bring up Notre Dumb, their quarterback was a three star recruit coming out of high school... Some beach lead Notre Dumb to a National Championship Game... You sir should really consider doing ANYTHING other than tryin to talk college football in your free time... Like, anything...
Ya know, whenever Derek Fooley was running the football program straight into the ground, especially in october, I had the thought 'at least basketball season is right around the corner...' So is it baseball season yet??
So, I was glad to hear that Lacy was gone... Then I got to thinkin of who would take his place as a starter... TJ Yelldon(sp)... I dont know who I would rather see in their backfield... Its like going from a pool full of sharks and jumping into a pool full of piranhas... I hate Satan and Alawama, but Satan sure as #€|| can recruit...

in response to rockytopwestone: He absolutely should have been fired after the Kentucky game last year. We went the whole season and the team got better at nothing ! One whole season wasted. Yet people get on here and say stupid stuff like if he hadn`t changed the defence we could be 9 and 3. Yea and we would still have a idiot for a head coach !

Is it ironic you say people post 'stupid stuff' and misspell defence(it's defense by the way) in the same sentence? I'm not at all arguing your post because I'm one million percent behind the idea of gettin rid of Dooley after the kentucky loss last season
Firstly, I would like to say congratulations to Dallas... He made it thru some of the roughest years Tennessee has ever had, and came out on the other side standing on his feet... Says a lot about the kid's character... Thank you for your dedication!!! Secondly, am I the only one who is disheartened that Zach Rodgers didnt get an invite? He is a leader, he has an awesome football IQ, oh and he has somethin' that neither CP and JHunt never had this season... Heart... Just sayin'... Either way, congrats to Dallas...
Maybe it's just me, but I think that Dooley had a sence of, 'Let's bring these high powered Juco stars, tell em they'll get on ESPN, and we'll get you drafted... Oh and don't worry about that whole class thing'... Then, Coach Butch Jones, comes in with all this 'Win in life, you'll win on the field'....(what a loser... Gah we shoulda gotten Gruden), and the players from Hutchinson Community College just want to win a high draft pick. I may very well be completely incorrect, and I hope that wouldn't be the way Fooley would recruit, but, in my defense, I only have one other player from Fooley's recruiting to go off of... And just so you know, I am just referring to the Hutchinson C.C. Just sayin'
