cordarrelle and the vikings in the super bowl

in response to xanga:
#1 Pick 2* recruit....enough said
How right you are. Before the super bowl, they had a list of all of the starters. In this list was, where they attended college and their star rating out of h.s. They were mostly 2 and 3 stars with just a few 4 and 5 stars. Hey, Boise state has never had a top 50 recruiting class but they continue to place in the top 10 with a bunch of 2 stars. Is it recruiting or coaching??........ or both?!!
in response to tennrat: Oh! Good gosh NO! No! No! Tennessee hasn't recovered from the Fulmer era yet. Don't start another!

Other than General Neyland, PHIL FULMER HAD THE BEST 'ERA' IN TENNESSEE FOOTBALL.
Hunter, Patterson, Bray????? I hope they have the maturity. That one more year could mean a major difference. Regardless, good luck to these guys. It was great to have them at UT.

Mr Quinn, I must disagree with your wolfpack win prediction. You must be from carolina and that's ok. The big orange will have a greatly improved defense and probably wont allow NCS 20 points. And, our offense will be a major improvement....one, because of such a killer passing game. And two, the O-line is in great form with experience and depth. The big orange will hang about 35 on the pack. Thus, giving you reason to whimper about a 35 to 20 spanking. Enjoy your beat down. :)
I'm going to agree w/ snake. It seems the talk around the SEC is...'Play UT's incredible pass game to contain them'. Well, if that is there focus then maybe we will just run the fun out of it for 200 yards!! GBO!
OK... there once was a guy (Bryce Brown) that made a last minute decision to play for UT instead of Miami. THEN, there was this other guy (Borque) that did the same thing. Both decided not to continue there football careers at UT and left for another college. The B.B. guy didnt pan out at any other university probably causing him millions in his arogant quest to be in the NFL. The second guy.... ???
in response to louavol: I think Fulmer got it right when asked last year how he thought the Vols were doing, and his reply was, "Well, now that I'm just an alum, I think they ought to win 'em all."

Lol... gotta love that guy. He did a great overall job and got screwed for a couple down years. It's great he is still a fabulous ambassador for the Vols. I vote 9 wins with losses to Ala., Ga., and Troy. (kidding)
in response to murrayvol: If the men's award is the Wooden Trophy, the women's side should be the Summitt Trophy. Nothing more and nothing less.

Good comment....my thoughts also.

in response to MrDonCorleone:
I dont understand your conclusion. Maybe this is a much better defense being installed? And, maybe they'll get the other 20% down pat in summer practice? I'd like to think that our defense will look something like Alabamas'.... and you know what they did.
Top 10 passing game + a top 25 running game = a top 15 season??????????????
Is this a "chicken or egg" come first question? lol
in response to RatherBeDrivingaTitleist: This article is about Baggett not Dooley and it seems to me like this. If I made 425k as a WR coach at a major university in the SEC and couldn't handle a college kid under me because he had an attitude, I would resign too, and I wouldn't ask to be paid off. Some of you people need to get a grip and realize that everything that comes from these so called insiders is not usually the way it is. When you have 85 athletes to see after there are going to be some problems. Hopefully this year the rebuilding of our team will result in what we all want, a return to respectability and a chance to win every game. If it doesn't happen then we might have to make a change again.

Amen!!!!
Just curious....since Cutclff and the Mannings have a good history, and Peyton has had physical problems that could lead to NFL retirement.... just curious if Cut and Peyton are discussing future employment options?....hypothetically, Peyton could get in a couple of years of coaching under Cut before being ready to coach at a bigger program.... wonder what witch doctor thinks?

in response to Pat777:
Hey Pat777, That's a good point but, you have to look at the coaching changes too. Boise state has never had a top 50 recruiting class but the right coaching takes a bunch of 2*s and they contend in the top 10 every year.
<<<< Yea...But...we just landed McCullers, a 6'6" 380 lb DT!!!!!!!!! GBO
in response to Franktown: DOOLEY IS ABOUT TO PROVE ALL YOU HATERS WRONG NEXT YEAR! WE WILL BE SEC CHAMPIONS HANDS DOWN
in response to Franktown:
DOOLEY IS ABOUT TO PROVE ALL YOU HATERS WRONG NEXT YEAR! WE WILL BE SEC CHAMPIONS HANDS DOWN
Dude....I would love to see that! BUT, i would be willing to bet you are very, very wrong. We cant score. And to compete in the mighty SEC, you gotta put up an average 30 points or more a game. Heck, we are ranked 117th in scoring.
PERSUE PEYTON MANNING FOR FOOTBALL COACH!!!!!
FIRE DOOLEY !!!! HIRE PEYTON !!!
maybe PEYTON MANNING will leave the NFL and want to coach at his ole alma-mater???
in response to Volunteer-Varmint: E: All the above.
in response to Volunteer-Varmint:
E: All the above.
Yep.... it's a combination of all 3. The o-line is not blowing anybody away. The R-backs are not killer quality and, the O-line coach is slacking. ......OVERHAUL!!!!!
Cool, now the southeast conference can be called the midsouteastern conference....or, midwesteastern conference....or, maybe just get a team from the southeast like VT, or Clemson, or Fla.St. or......
in response to TNPilgrim: It would be nice if this rivalry were once again competitive. As things stand now, TN means as much to Ala as Vandy does to TN. It's a shame that playing UT in football is no longer a big deal to anyone except Vandy and KY.For that matter, it may be just Vandy since KY started playing Louisville. So we start playing Auburn again every year - who cares? It won't matter who we play unless Dooley starts bringing in some top rated recruits and is able to develop them. Right now these 3-star wonders he's signing aren't going to put the Big Orange back in the top tier of the conference.

I wish our program was back to being more competitive too but....if the problem is the 3 stars, then why does Boise state finish top 5 year after year with only 2 star players? A coaching staff makes the difference especially given time to solidify a strong program. I, like many vol loyalists, want something to happen now. Hopefully next year we win 8 or 9 and get better cause, vol nation wont tolerate less much longer.

in response to hikerdude: I disagree. Last weeks game with Fla is an example of what 5* freshmen and sophomores( Fla) do to 3* freshmen and sophomores(Tenn).

AND....tell the whole star rating thing to boise state who hasn't finished in the top 50 recruiting....ever.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE MIGHTY 'SOUTH-EASTERN' CONFERENCE???? LOOK AT CLEMSON, NORTH CAROLINA, MIAMI, ETC.... LOTS OF QUALITY TO CHOOSE FROM IN THE 'SOUTH-EASTERN' US.

in response to BodeaneVol:
I disagree. You give us a blocked punt and an 83 yard screen play TD and that makes us the best team.

OMG!!...hilarious!
USUALLY....WHEN A TEAM THAT IS REAL GOOD AND FLOPS IS BECAUSE THERE IS A VIRUS ON THE TEAM. FIND HIM AND KICK HIM OFF THE TEAM....(MAYMON?)MAYBE?
I wish we could be in the NCAA but.... the team's chemistry just aint there this year. C'mon BP, make em jel!!!!
in response to ROCKYTOPBRAD: you nailed it.

.....just had a #12 recruiting class.... you make lame comments. Are you just a natural negative person or, are you a troll?
i heard he got a new tattoo!! it is now smokey taking a squirt on the tiger tattoo!!
Somebody forgot to tell Boise state that stars don't mean sh**....after all, they've never had a top 50 recruiting class but have a top 10 winning season consistantly.......with a bunch of 2 stars.
maybe they'll come out with LK urinal mats?!
ARE WE MAKING ROOM FOR TOM SMITH AND.....MARLIN LANE??
....as i was saying, Cam to the NFL and AU to a fancy 8-4 season in '11. Looks like it's back to LSU and Bama for the west.
Go SEC!!! Congrats AU...however, I think Cam leaves for the NFL and AU is 9-3 next year behind stinky bama 10-2 AND.... les miles goes to Mich leaving lsu to be 8-4.
in response to drone#208075: He has to be luckiest man on the planet.
in response to drone#208075:
He has to be luckiest man on the planet.
funny....since Saban went to bama and, chiznic went to auburn... Ole miles' luck has been running real thin lately. I see his luck running out in either direction. He might as well move on to Mich so that he has the excuse of rebuilding for the next 3 to 4 years.
It's time to land a super stud RB.
Best wishes on a smooth transition to the VOLS!! ALSO, I see where 5 star Markeith Ambles is leaving so.cal......going the juco route for a year and then?????
With bad breaks... 7-5normal season..... 8-4with good breaks.. 9-3 w/ couple miracles 10-2
