A Name? How about a Coach?
Through the past few weeks, I have kept relatively quiet about the defensive coordinator search for The University of Tennessee football program. I said relatively quiet, I have made a call here and there, but the filter doesn’t work sometimes. I have laughed at the different “sources” that different media people in this [...]
Time For Dooley to “Man Up”
Derek Dooley came to the Volunteers a couple of years ago around this time and brought with him great hope of restoring the storied Tennessee football program. Within hours, many Vol fans like myself went from “oh no” to “I like this guy.” In his opening press conference, Derek Dooley spoke of traditions, [...]
Hey Coach Dooley…Look in the Mirror
For those of you that know me, I think you would agree that I am not one to hold back on what I am really thinking. Sometimes the filter from the brain to the mouth, gets a little too greased up and things flow freely. In writing this, I truly believe this is [...]
The SEC Coaches as “Seinfeld” Characters
After watching some of the SEC Head Coaches this season, I thought I would have a little fun and give my take on how I see the SEC coaches in relation to some of my favorite “Seinfeld” characters. Everyone will have a different take, but it is my opinion, so have a little fun with [...]
“The Maxims” and “The Sign”?
If I recall Coach Derek Dooley’s opening press conference correctly, he agreed with Coach Neyland’s game maxims. If you don’t know them, I will list them for you:
1 – The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.
2 – Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way – SCORE.
3 – [...]
Time Warp?
My good friend Will West has been debating a topic over the last few days – “If you could go back in time and still have Coach Fulmer, would you? When I heard this, I thought it was a fantastic topic to debate.
Here is my take:
Coach Fulmer’s time was up here at Tennessee. [...]
Week 8 CFB Picks – ONE LATE CHANGE!!
YTD record is 23-15 (61%)
1 – Bama -28(-115)
I grabbed this one early as most books have it as 29. I don’t think it matters. Trust me, I would be ok losing this one, but Bama is better than LSU, PERIOD.
2 – North Carolina +10-
I think the Heels make this one interesting at Clemson. [...]
My 5 Issues With UT Football Right Now
After Saturday’s blowout, I really thought long and hard about what the issues are that surround this team.
1 – Devrin Young is the #1 weapon this team has, period
Why? Because he is the ONLY player I have seen that gets this team going AND that plays hard every down.
2 – Da’Rick Rogers plays when [...]
Winners and Losers from Week Six of CFB
Here we go:
Losers
1 – Texas
55-17? Nuff said
2 – Tennessee
I hate to say it, but this might have been the only chance for this team to get a signature win.
3 – Big Ten Officials in NW/Michigan game
If you didn’t see the “no call” when Persa’s helmet was ripped off, then the play is over, it [...]
5 Things We Will Learn in Week Six of CFB
1 – Is Texas Back?
The Red River Shootout should give us some insight as to how Texas is rebounding after a bad season and a shaky start to this one. The last two weeks have been better, but this is a TRUE test.
2 – Does Derek Dooley get his first “signature” win?
He was close [...]
