I'm pretty sure that the Faton Bauta in my living room can play QB about as effectively as this guy for UGA.

Looks like St. Helen has pulled a Peterman.

Their fans are more interested in the Breeders Cup.

In KY it is.

But did we win?   

I left at the end of the 3rd....best I remember we lost 17-0. 

I give up....What's the answer?

FL...UGA...A&M...BAMA 4 weeks in a row! Ouch!

NFL releases injury reports due to betting lines.

I've already painted a sign and will put it in my front yard.

Trespassers will be shot!
Survivors will shot again!

BTW, is there anyone in America West of the Hudson who is actually rooting for the Mets?

I hope the hell not.....Fook a NY team

And I was the happiest person on the planet when Fox lost the BCS games....They did one horrible job and having NFL guys trying to do college football was laughable.

Edit: Charles Davis was good however.

Sounds like a good topic for a statistics grad student.

Or Butch could get his analytics department to figure it out

Yes...we play at A&M next year.

Saw a stat of ESPN college football show yesterday that said we have a 51% chance of winning the rest of our games.

Haven't seen a thing.  Didn't realize until your post that they identify the games without setting a date.   They really should know by now.  Likely satan has them being flogged for daring to schedule open dates prior to bammer.

Probably tongue in cheek.....but probably spot on too.

The first thing he needs to do is stop trying to over kick every kick. He's got the leg but he's trying to kill his kicks. His balance is off....if your balance is off it's a wing and a prayer if you make it.

If that's what your job is, it doesn't matter what a 50 yard FG looks like....Coach Jones has watched our
kicker warm up from beyond the 50 as has other members of this board. Coach has confidence in the kicker that he can make it so, it's performance based and our kicker is not performing worth  a shizzle right now!

Butch says he makes those kicks in practice....That's the main reason he puts him out there. If he can do it in practice he needs to hit some in games.

I don't think a program that recruits the 1 or 2 class in the nation every year and a coach that's won multiple national championships would know that that'll lose to UT 12 months from now or even have that mindset. And I ga-ron-tee there isn't a Bama fan out there that knows it either.

If we don't come back from Lexington a winner we aren't as close to being back as we think. Miss. State has dog whipped them tonight.

Got to find...recruit or buy a damn FG kicker. Medley is a head case.

Just heard Preston Williams is out? My gosh.....we got a lot of players injured playing Open Week it look like.

The funny thing is, Kaylee just interviewed a bunch of tailgating bammer yahoos that pretty much looked like the stereotypes.  I mean, you might think the fans in those videos are filtered, but...maybe not!   

Due to my son and his family living in Birmingham for 14 years and it forcing me to go to that damn state to visit them.....I can tell you for 100%. They are exactly like that in Alabama.

It isn't that you question the coaching. Some things should be questioned.  Believe it or not, I was once on the other side of this.  I often questioned Majors late in his tenure (but who didn't?) and I was glad to see him go.  I questioned Chavis early on, when he couldn't seem to stop Florida for love or money.  The worst with Chavis was 1997 when Peyton was a senior.  Florida scored 4 TDs on offense (and one on D).  Their 4 offensive TDs came on three 3rd and 10s and one 4th and 10.  On every occasion we rushed three DL and dropped 8 in coverage.

Holy fizzleing shizzle.  You would think Chavis would learn.  I complained about that on the old Vol Chat and got shouted at.  There were three posters on that site that felt it was their obligation to attack anyone questioning the coaches for any reason whatsoever.  It was ridiculous.  I told them a blind 85 year old woman could see that you can't play prevent against SOS, he will eat you alive.

Well guess what?  The next year Chavis consistently blitzed with 5 and 6 pretty much the entire game and we finally beat those #badword#s.  And yes, we lost more games to Florida, but never again did their offense score so effortlessly as it did from 1995-1997 when Chavis was young and dumb.

Honestly he never completely learned his lesson on the prevent, but at least it became an occasional thing and not the norm.

So three things.  Nothing wrong with questioning the coaches, particularly if its deserved.  Two, coaches can learn.  Chavis did.  Do I wish it wasn't on the job, and should we not have lost all the games 95-97 to Florida?  Yes and yes, but at least he finally did figure it out.  Three, the criticism of Chavis in 1997 was, IMO, more deserved because that Vol team was simply loaded...I mean LOADED with talent!  Practically every roster spot that year ended up in the NFL in one capacity or another, and Peyton Freaking Manning was our QB.

Don't know if you have noticed or not, but we are still nowhere near that level of talent.  I'd say we only have 5-6 players that are a lock for the NFL, if that, although a lot of the frosh and sophomores might develop that way.

^Good post!

Boy do I remember those Vol Chat days and the heavy handed quick to ban Mods. The last years of Fulmer were epic over there. Good thing about that site.....some other good UT boards were formed because of those a$$holes. It's a shell of it's former self now....back in the early to late 90's it was a good board and a thread would be buried on page 3 in 4 hours unless it was a super-hot thread. Threads stay on page 1 for days now. They flat ran off some good posters over the years.

Bama's front 7 will want to tee off on Dobbs..Let their aggressive play work against them.. I'd like to see Dobbs in shotgun and lure them into a blitz and bust them with a screen to Kamara..He's faster than Hurd and could bust loose for a big play..UT can't just run and hope to get a win..Receivers have to step up and help Dobbs move the chains,take what the defense gives..I think UT is playing Bama at the perfect time and like their chances of winning tomorrow..Nobody is giving them a snowballs chance in hell..Just got to protect the ball and take advantage of every opportunity..Go Vols!! 

I'd screen those ba$tards until their jockstraps busted.

Offense can be your best defense when your defense is not getting it done....Pick up a few more first downs and the OU and Florida games would have been in our win column. Just ask Michigan that went full retard with 3 runs up the middle and a punt.....O' Wait!!

That being said our defense couldn't get stops in all 3 losses and the 4th down(s) against Florida was a total cluster of epic proportions.

We did pick up a really good transfer player from UNC for the Lady Vols.  Maybe that helps.

She set the SEC record for scoring by a frosh last year, that has to be a good thing   

Agree we should be making some final fours, but Holly is close.  Maybe this is the year.

She's the one I posted about.....She was on the USA team this Summer and played very little because of injuries and I read the other day she's been limited in practice already due to nagging injuries. LVs are like the football team...can't stay healthy.

Over/under on how many snaps it takes before Crowder gets planted on his ass in the backfield? I'll go with 5.

I've completely lost patience with Butch's decisions as to who plays on the OL. 100%. It is inexcusable that Crowder sees the field unless we are just totally out of able bodies.

^truer words never posted.

After Alex Collins and Arky line showed what a punishing running game can do to us, my biggest concern by far is Henry.  Stop him, and take our chances that Coker can't beat us deep, at least not consistently.

This!!

I didn't feel going the week going into the Ark game and Bama is even better at downhill running. If they get that downhill running game going this weekend then it's gonna be a loooong day!
