Read several blogs , tweets etc. Vols fans getting impatient , big things were expected this year and all they have to show is 2 wins over cupcakes. The loss to a struggling Arkansas team at home yesterday has set off a firestorm of rants. one described him as Derrick Dooley with worse hair.
 
this is the sort of thread I can endorse as a human being who just so happens to love college football. Tenny has plundered our bounty for so long in our great state and recently it seems they've really gotten over on us in the trenches of recruiting. Nothing, and I mean nothing, makes me happier than to see them 2-3, 0-2. When I hear the name or say the name "Butch Jones" I honestly feel like I need a shower. I eagerly await not only his demise, but the schools demise when we hear of ncaa sanctions because of what UT did to get players to come to a less than desirable SEC school in the 2010's. I imagine most of you feel the same way.

Would serve Shy Tuttle right if Jones loses a couple more in quick succession, and then the For Sale signs appear in Jones's yard.
 
Tennessee was way overhyped this year and it was predictable. They had false expectations and their coach is unproven and it shows.

UT's remaining schedule: UGA ((L)), @BAMA ((L)), @ UK ((Tossup)), USCjr ((W)), North TX ((W)), @MIZZU ((Tossup)), VANDY ((W)) .... They are currently 2 - 3 so it might play out so that they do not make a bowl game. I love college football ... especially watching over-rated SEC teams fall from grace.
 
They haven't been good since Peyton Manning left. If they're plundering our kids, then we must not have very much to plunder.

I expect UGA to come out firing after being embarrassed by Bama. Then I expect Bama to feast on the Vols. If UGA wins at least 10, and Bama wins in a rout, then the calls for Jones's head will loud and wide.

I wonder if they will quit on Jones after they get beat by those 2 teams
 
Latest rumor on Butch Jones is that he fought and punched an offensive lineman during fall practice.

Wow...If that's true, you'd think that his seat would be blazing hot by now?

He'll probably fire the offensive coordinator for being too conservative late in games....It cost the Vols against Oklahoma and Florida....

I hope Tennessee continues to struggle....

I guess the "In Butch we trust" crowd are not quite as loud and vocal as they were when he took the job?

Yeah,talent in the mountains has dropped off a lot the past 5-7 years where UT has really cleaned house vs in state schools.

There's a reason we don't recruit WNC hard.

Also, though UT hasn't been prominent in quite awhile, they can still recruit with the best of them. Their stadium, alone, can get them recruits. How's Tuttle doing over there? I saw him blow up a running play against Florida.

Good thing UNC didn't have that attitude when Choo Choo played eh? Granted,we don't have the numbers like down state,but UNC has gotten some pretty good players from WNC.

I agree but demographics / migration has shifted since then. Most of the N.C. talent comes from East of the mountains. That's just the cold facts. Are there exceptions? Of course!
 
Growing up in asheville i have an intense hatred for vol fan. I thoroughly enjoy their demise.

I have lived in Tennessee since 1985 and the disdain I have for their redneck fans is hard to explain. All you have to have to qualify as a ut fan is three teeth and a $200 pickup truck.

I grew up in TN and once again live in my home state. I approve this message. Vols fans are loathsome, with the obvious exceptions to the rule.

but Wufs are crazier.
 
Alabama exposed UGA at what they were...Overated. Their secondary is horrendous.

They have had a least a couple of secondary players kicked off the team , 2 transferred to Louisville I believe. The run defense didn't look to swell either.

Even with the D issues, a UGA WR dropped a perfectly thrown TD pass that would have tied the game. If the Dawgs tie late, the Vols may well have choked again.

But, the W will help Jones and lead to more UGA fans who say Richt has stayed too long.
 
JMO but I like Jones and Richt staying put ... we dont need either of those coaches going anywhere.

Richt will retire after UGA so he can do missionary work or some other type of humanitarian work. He won't go coach anywhere else I don't think. As for Jones, I just want him to keep sucking at Tennessee. When Tennessee is down, it's good for UNC.
