If it's laughable then show me some negative quotes. I haven't heard anything like that.


Just because I haven't posted negative things about roadGator doesn't mean I respect him (or her if that's the case)....

But in the absence of negative remarks or actions, one can't say its laughable that Meyer didn't respect Fulmer. Until you prove otherwise, that's just an opinion.

Lets see, you kick a team to death on the field utilizing all your time outs/first string in the last few minutes and the next day your players are quoted in the paper talking trash about a team they dominated. That's what makes his post laughable.

You don't want to see a team score, stop them. And for the talking trash, saying Tennessee gave up isn't talking trash unless youre referring to another quote.

I'm not arguing about you guys running up the score, your right we should stop them if we don't like it.

But don't act like Meyers is a classy coach. When I beat someone to death in competition I don't run around for the next week rubbing it in their face. Alabama didn't do it after beating the hell out of us and they had every reason to that year.

Does this mean you would gradulate him if he manages a winning season?

Gradulations for everyone indeed. Corch Meyers is a hero and Percy Harvey rocks.

OK, I'll bite. What did Corch Meyers do to rub it in and hurt your feelings? I missed it.

The players said UT quit. Heck, anyone could see that they did.

Keep hating him, it means he's winning. That's just how it is in the SEC.

Domination,

Stop posting sensibly. I don't want to like you.

I think this might help explain the why a lot of TN fans feel the way they do about Kiffin. Many figure that if the rest of the SEC already hates him this much, he is headed in the (generally) right direction.

I can really see the excitement. It's like getting a new toy on Christmas. However, instead of getting a GI Joe, I think you got that little army man with plastic parachute from the dollar store.

I understand what you are saying though. It really is better for the SEC if TN gets competitive. Beatdowns get old for everyone (cough, cough, GA).

That is the other exciting part of this...the unknown. Can he recruit? We think we have the answer on that one. Now, can he coach and lead a team? The next year or two will bear it out.

This is OT, but quick question Gator fans.

What happened with John Brown, '07 DT signed with FL, went to JUCO?

Apparently he could end up at UT.

Don't worry, it's only a temporary mental imbalance.

4-5 star talent. Has a learning disability, so he is always going to struggle in the classroom. Some motivation issues. Hopefully he will use his time in JUCO to get his mind right.

I'm apprehensive as of right now. There are things that he says that I can only shake my head at and hope that he can back it up. I want to believe that he can turn this program around. It's be stagnant for far too long.

As for Fulmer, he was a nice guy almost to a fault. He let the players run the show which is demonstrated by the infamous "Fulmer Cup." I think that he lost his drive. Will Kiffin work out? I don't know. I sure as hell hope so. But if he doesn't, at least we got the ball rolling(For lack of a better phrase)

Appreciate it.

So he won't be going to Florida, or is he going to do the whole process again?

(Assuming he will get in)
