Title: Bland John Adams article (aren't they all?) ignites controversy among Vol fans Post by: Jethro on September 26, 2011, 06:20:23 EDT http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/sep/25/john-adams-vols-should-savor-first-saturday-of/?partner=popular (http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/sep/25/john-adams-vols-should-savor-first-saturday-of/?partner=popular)
Are those knotheads still arguing about Fulmer? Give me strength Lord! :beer: I understand that Adams is generally a bit negative but do all of his stories create such angry responses?

Short answer: yes. John Adams is an extremely talented writer, but he's also a lightning rod. And he wouldn't have it any other way. Frankly, I don't care a whole lot for columnists whose primary purpose is to stir up emotions and debate, even though that's always their job to some extent. For example, Adams talks about Pead having a highlight reel day against UT's defense and suggests that Georgia's Isaiah Crowell and LSU's Spencer Ware will be even better. Pead had 155 yards against UT, but aside from the 65-yd. touchdown run, he didn't do anything overly spectacular. The play I remember him for in that game is being unable to pick up a yard on 4th down at midfield, which was a huge momentum swing in UT's favor. And Pead is a better running back than Crowell by far...and maybe a better back than Ware.

Agreed. But he sure does seem to enjoy poking the Vols fans.

I think he exaggerates the prowess of future running backs we face, as well as overstating how poorly we defended the run earlier. But who cares? Let's see what happens on the field.
