We couldn't score 71 or 68 against air. And air would be favored by 10.

I waited a good 2 minutes after the game ended to make sure the game ended. With Swamp Donkey's luck I wouldn't have been shocked if Florida won it 30 seconds after the game ended.
4553  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Geez, talk about a disaster of a season.. FSU* on: October 08, 2017, 02:11:24 EDT
Losing their QB the first game of the season ruined their season. They have athletes all over the field....Miami does too.

You can take all the wine I've had in my 63 years and it wouldn't fill up a gallon milk jug.....but my wife drinks it like water. She found a red made by Redwood Creek for about $12.00 that she really likes...and the $12.00 is what I like

I'd put T. Rob up there too.
4556  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Iowa State is about to upset Oklahoma.* on: October 07, 2017, 10:07:24 EDT
Good win. Over the last 30 years Texas....OU and UGA have done less with more than any teams in the country. JMO.

Got a feeling UGA is about to change.....They play pissed off which they didn't do under Mark Richt and Smart has taken their recruiting up another level.
4557  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Am I the only person on: October 07, 2017, 08:18:44 EDT
I use to hate open dates and there was a time we had 2 open dates during the season and I was lost because I didn't have the VOLS to watch. Now I wish we had 12 of them.

Yes.
4559  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Have ya'll noticed the movement on the LSU/UF line this week? on: October 07, 2017, 06:21:10 EDT
In a interview this week YAW YAW said they have plan at LSU to get things done......Vegas must have seen the interview.
4560  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The rumor mills are running full speed this morning. on: October 07, 2017, 01:59:24 EDT
If Butch is fired....IMO, it will be later on in the season or after the season. If you fire and replace with a interim and they win some games then you have a...................LSU situation.
4561  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Have yall heard anything about your OL Smith getting kicked in the face or on: October 07, 2017, 01:47:21 EDT
Well...he did have a bruise which I thought was unusual for a football player   but I didn't ask questions....Reports of his demise was greatly exaggerated. And whether there was a fight I don't have a clue because again....I didn't ask and no information was offered. I coached for many years and tempers flare all the time and it really does when things aren't going well.  I even saw a post on another site this morning that TS would be out several games because of it. I'd say he could play today if there was a game.
4562  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: And so it begins, a particular "Tail Number" of interest, reported at Rocky Top. on: October 06, 2017, 08:02:45 EDT
Hire her! It will at least get the players attention.
4563  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Have yall heard anything about your OL Smith getting kicked in the face or on: October 06, 2017, 07:58:07 EDT
Less than 2 hours ago Trey was here for the long weekend just like many of the team have gone home. He looked like the same ole Trey. Didn't see any bandaids....bandages etc.... The wife and me didn't ask him any questions about the fighting rumors.....If he was kicked in the face it didn't show.
4564  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The rumor mills are running full speed this morning. on: October 06, 2017, 07:54:48 EDT
Just looking at the way the team has played the last two games, I would say that Butch and the coaches have already lost a majority of the players. By lost, I mean the players are tuning them out and ignoring what they say. Slogans will only get you so far until the players realize you are incapable. Seven more games this year will not prove anything. With his track record over the last 4+ years, is there anyone here that actually truly believes he can succeed in SEC? Being a good recruiter is OK, but surrounding yourself with Yes Men that fail to improve a player's skill set is a recipe for getting a bunch of people fired. I hope Butch has saved money and invested well. Looks like he will be unemployed sooner than later.

I guess is Currie pulls the plug at end of October if he loses the next 3 games, which is likely unless the team rallies. They look totally mismatched and unprepared again this year. That is all the responsibility of the head coach. Butch has no one but himself to blame.

Agree^......We didn't look like a football team against UGA...Not even close to one.
4565  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The rumor mills are running full speed this morning. on: October 06, 2017, 04:47:25 EDT
The past 2 weeks have had the end days of Majors and Fulmer feeling to it.
4566  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: So Finebaum apparently weighed in on our potential coaching search today, and... on: October 06, 2017, 04:33:10 EDT
40 years from now Gruden could be in a nursing home....sitting in a wheel chair under a 100 year old oak tree in the front lawn and if UT is looking for a football coach Gruden's name will come up.

Finebaum most likely trolling UT fans.
4567  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: If you didn't see the end of the NFL game tonight.......... on: October 05, 2017, 05:06:11 EDT
I will bet on Monday night wrestling before I ever bet on a professional sports game!

Speaking of wrestling a icon passed away....Lance Russell.
4568  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The side of a coach's life that we don't see.......... on: October 05, 2017, 12:43:03 EDT
A coach at UT should NEVER lose at home to UGA 41-0. His respectability went out the window with that one.
4569  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Oh my ! on: October 04, 2017, 04:52:19 EDT
I am not to keen on Kelly either. I saw the talent he squandered at Philly. He had a lot of talent on his Philly team. Plus he doesn't put enough into the defensive side of the ball. Is he a better coach than Jones? Yes. His teams at Oregon always had trouble when they faced physical teams. The SEC is usually full of physical teams. If he made the Vols a finesse team like Oregon, the physical teams in the SEC would be tough matchups. Not that they aren't anyway. So who do you hire? All the coaches that have won NC's are either employed at places they ain't leaving or are too old to get back into coaching. So who is the "next big thing" coach you gamble on? Vols either need to go big or go home. If they don't go big, they just hire another Jones type coach. Which leaves us where we are now.

You are correct.....When Oregon played teams with physical front 7's they got beat....When they played defenses that controlled the LOS they lost. In the SEC you face those defenses almost weekly.
4570  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Oh my ! on: October 04, 2017, 02:15:48 EDT
Ok...it's moot......but you have a better chance getting the job than Kelly.
4571  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Oh my ! on: October 04, 2017, 02:09:09 EDT
Apples to oranges, IMO. I'm not saying Tennessee is going after Chip Kelly. In fact, I think there are a few Knoxville media types who are going to look really stupid when this is all said and done because they've sold out on Kelly. But if Tennessee wants to pursue Kelly, his show-cause is no reason to change anyone's mind. It was the weakest show-cause in NCAA history. So weak that it would've probably never been handed down if Kelly hadn't already left for the NFL. The NCAA COI wanted to make an example out of a big-name coach and Kelly was the perfect scapegoat because he had left for the NFL. Which probably also explains why Kelly's show-cause was so unusually short (18 months).

Missing the point....We canned our best BB coach who took us places we've never been in BB.....Not going to hire someone who had a show cause when we didn't support Pearl. The powers that be will not do that. I could care less if we hired a crook as long as they win because schools that are committed to winning big don't care either. But Kelly isn't going to get a sniff except what the media makes it out to be just like Gruden.

As soon as Butch is canned it's going to be in the media and message boards....Gruden....Kelly...Gruden....Kelly rinse and repeat.
4572  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Oh my ! on: October 04, 2017, 01:44:04 EDT
We booted Pearl out of Knoxville because of a show cause.....We aren't going to hire Kelly who left Oregon toting a show cause. Not going to happen.
4573  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Currie has to at least make a statement this week, doesn't he? on: October 03, 2017, 11:48:11 EDT
A vote of confidence would be the same as telling the public the coach has been fired. IMO Currie has already formed a team to look at future coaches and will be contacting agents to gauge interests. But if I were Butch, I would make Currie fire me to get the money. Butch's ego will not allow him to admit failure so his firing is inevitable.

^Truth spoken...or posted

Butch is the smartest man in the room....just ask him. He and his system in 'Infallible'......again, just ask him.

Nice guy...talked to him for 2 hours back in December. Kind of guy you like to sit down and have a beer with...but just over his head on this level. I see no way he's the coach at UT after this season. And will not be shocked if he's gone before the season is over.
4574  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Ouch... on: October 03, 2017, 04:55:52 EDT
Ouch is right....

Butch Jones walked into the Marriott ballroom and took his seat at the head table and it felt vaguely sad.

“Any other time, when the Tennessee coach would be here, there would be hundreds of people,” said Jim Reedy, a Tennessee fan. “And when he walked into the room, everyone would stand to applaud.”

There were not hundreds of people.

Nobody stood to applaud.

The plates of chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans may as well have been a last meal.

“I needed a little love so I thought I’d come to West Tennessee,” said Jones.

He was shut out, again.
