VTTW Board Index

this week?  Assume we have been "saving" him?

The way our OL has been playing......Dobbs has already been running all over the place :banghead:

I assume you mean by design?  :naughty:

Well, the "read" part of the Read Option entails him pulling and running when the end bites.  So, yeah...I guess

Dobbs has made some bad reads so far this season....Several against Ohio.

I'm guessing and hoping they didn't want Dobbs to run much the first 3 games....Going forward he needs to make the right reads and keep it several times.

I think he was limited for most of the Appy State game as well as the early Va Tech game by play calling.  I also think our OL is much better at run blocking than pass blocking.  I also think that Dobbs killed uf on the ground last year.

So he dam well better be running his arse off Saturday.   :biggrin:

The backfield includes two really good rb's. Somehow they need to get these guys more touches to save Dobbs from the wear and tear of running so much.

yet with the other fork of your tongue you said Dobbs needs to pass the ball better...
Which is it?  X or O?

Don't be a dick. Yes he needs to throw the ball better. Wouldn't two more options (Hurd and Kamara) help facilitate this? Or do you think Dobbs passing is just awesome. What is your problem?

The problem is you don't know how to blend in with the personalities of the board, nor understand the feel of this community. A lot of people have been members of this board have been a part of VTTW since 1998 (I believe), and have actual friendships in real life. We literally know each other.

Other agitators that have come and (eventually) gone displayed the same shizzle stirring abilities that you display. That's NOT what this community is about. At all. We can fully understand what is going on with a football team, so we don't need someone else pointing it out. I would like to think that the members her take a more mature approaching to enjoying UT sports, and most here don't like the "Merlin" or "JoeVols" routine.

You're catching flack because you either don't understand the audience, or you do and you're stirring the pot. Either way, no one here is ammused

I have one, thanks for noticing.

HOF post for FlVol.

I have been a member since 1998 as well. I just roll my eyes at all the sugar-coating of a lot of Jones performance. I guess the truth is hard to hear for some. I say what I mean and mean what I say. What has Jones done to make you feel all warm and fuzzy about winning an SECC, much less a NC. Beating UF will be a good step. But so far he is o fer.

It is only "sugar coating" in your hate Butch filled eyes

so, member since 1998? Then you're being an assistant knowingly.  Got it.

As for the rest, I guess I've changed a lot  over the years. When Tennessee would lose, I would pitch a little tantrum and be all upset. I guess the last 10 years of my life have matured me quite a bit, because after the situations I have been through, it's just a form of entertainment for me, and I know the results of a win or loss against any certain team really doesn't mean shizzle these days. It's just entertainment in my book.

I guess I expect 1998 results every year and that is just not possible. Might not happen again. I honestly don't lose any sleep over any game, win or lose. That being said, I hope the Vols have been holding back and open up the offense and spank the Gators. It's almost as if they are holding back, but we are waiting for the light to come on. Maybe this Saturday. I do go overboard with the negative vibes. I'll mellow on them.

I post here because I lose brain cells reading other boards, and I don't have intellectual bandwidth to spare.

Folks have been nice enough to tolerate my rants over the years on R. Sanders, the Clawfense, Petrino, and a myriad of other issues. Though many have disagreed with my statements, they haven't resorted to name calling. That's the domain of the benighted, and/or classless.

I appreciate the intelligence and grace of VTTW posters. If those attributes aren't appealing to an individual,  it's probably not the optimal board for that fan.

BTW, is thus thread's title a Freudian slip?  :smile:

If you expect to make friends online... You expect too much. I probably showed up on the board the third day of its existence and between then and now I have gone and come back for a two and three year hiatus and each time nobody noticed I was gone. Or if they noticed they didn't say anything which is just as good because after this post I may be gone again tomorrow because someone misunderstands what I'm posting. Don't let anyone steal your joy. It is just a game. I talk about football... nobody here knows anything else about me to call me a friend. That's reality. I don't go to the games the one exception was the '98 game because it happened to be in the city where I lived at the time. I saw the game the next year but I don't really want to talk about that.
