Seems that I recall going 10-4 last season finishing 12th in the nation. Was I dreaming? Only 19 out of 121 D-I teams won 10 or more games last year; meaning that we were in the top 84% and that there were 102 teams that would have loved to have had our record. And we play in the most difficult conference in the nation! Despite that, the haters went rabid over losing to #12 Cal on the road, #5 Florida on the road, Alabama on the road and National Champion LSU by 7 in the SEC Championship Game wanting heads to roll – starting with Phillip. We won the East and played for the conference title and lost to the National Champions by 7!!!
Guess what, going undefeated is a rarity and not something that the fans should expect every year! Maybe we deserve to lose Phillip and get another J.T. Majors. Let's really go mediocre for a decade or so where we finish 5-6, 6-5 or 7-4. We can be 3rd or 4th in the East every year and occasionally go to the Liberty or Music City Bowls. We can blame and fire position coaches and coordinators three or four at a time every single year. That way when we do have the extreme luck to finish with double-digit wins they will be appreciated rather than spit upon.
I am as disappointed and heartbroken by the UCLA loss as anyone but I will never waiver on my support of the university, the athletic department, all sports at UT, our student-athletes and our coaching staffs. Guys this is only a sport played by kids! Get a life and check your priorities!!!

Phillip is such a terrible coach huh? FYI, since it's all gloom & doom on here this week here's a little something to chew on:
UT has 1 National Championship, 1 SEC Championship and 4 SEC East Championships since 1998. Their winning percentage is .732.
Florida
1 National Championship
2 SEC Championships
2 East Championships
.732 winning percentage
UGA
0 National Championships
3 SEC Championships
3 East Championships
.764 winning percentage
USC
0 Championships of any kind
.466 winning percentage
VU
0 Championships of any kind
.281 winning percentage
LSU

Ark

Miss St

Only LSU has won more National Championships (2 to 1)
Only LSU and UGA have won more SEC Championships (3)
Only UGA has a better winning percentage.

Cut and Erik would have hung 42 on that team. Now WE know what it feels like to be Dinked & Dunked into a loss.
Penalties and Third-Down Conversions killed us along with not turning UCLA mistakes into points.
I liked the new Offense and play-calling but our guys just didn't execute, period.
Oh well, it isn't a conference loss.
New QB, new OC and new playbook. The sun came up this morning; it will get better.

They should have contacted the Elite Frogs! With over 100 years total experience and 30,000 jumps, SEALS Teams don't miss!
Cut, next time call the best...Chuck Janicki, the Team manager, at (814) 882-9262.

Here's #6:
Beware Screens, Middle Screens, Flares and Draws! With a makeshift O-Line, UCLA will want to sucker our quicker D-Line and LB's into backfield penetration. Our guys have to be disciplined enough to hold their gap responsibilities.
While much of UCLA’s Offense is inexperienced and untested, they are deep at WR with good talent. If we let Kahlil Bell get off it spells trouble. STOP THE RUN Chief! Let’s make them one-dimensional and then let the DB’s go nuts making “form” hits and tearing off heads.
I predict our Defense will rule and Craft is carried off the field unconscious in the First Quarter. We name our score in the locker room at Halftime.
We’re not playing W. Ill., La.–Monroe, Ga. Southern, Appy State, Tiger High, La Tech or Miami of Ohio. If Bama made a statement yesterday then we need to write a novel in Pasadena. I wish that Phillip had a recording of ANY Coach Cafego Vandy pre-game speech to fire our guys up!!!
I want to see our D-Line ripping those stupid looking gold helmets off of players with their heads still in 'em. I want to see our LB's de-cleating guys and quickly moving on to the next target with blood in their eyes. I want to see our DB's hitting UCLA WR's until they look like helio rotor blades spinning 6' off the ground.
I want to hit somebody right now!!!
Scorched Earth Policy at the Rose Bowl- NO quarter given to the enemy.
GO VOLS!!!

Which would have been worse in grade school...Smelley or Succop? Is it surprising that Smelley comes from...TUSCALOOSER?

Gee, here I thought it was Carol King that did it back in '71.
Out of curiosity, since I know little of nothing about either gentleman, LL cut his in 1988 and B.I.G. was in 1997 according to their discography. So I guess that Hooker was correct after all! You kids and your crazy music.

Sounds like Beecher was smelly! I bet it was at least 4 visor-toss night for St. Stevie Superior.
Wow, Candy and USC both win...what next Temple and Notre Dame wins?

Those of you with all this bile and hatred should seek professional help! We have young me across the globe sacrificing their lives for us, our nation, their comrades, the Afgani and Iraqi people, freedom and democracy. Last week we lost another Team member in Afghanistan - Petty Officer First Class SEAL Joshua Thomas Harris of Team Ten. He served numerous missions in Afghanistan and Iraq during OIF and OEF. PO1 Harris received numerous awards during his career as a U.S. Navy SEAL including the Bronze Star Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal with Combat “V” (Valor) Distinguishing Device, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat “V” (Valor) Distinguishing Device, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Combat Action Ribbon (Operation Iraqi Freedom), Combat Action Ribbon (Operation Enduring Freedom), Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Iraq Campaign Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbons and Good Conduct Medals.
At just 36 years of age, Josh had seen and accomplished more than 99% of us will in a lifetime. He was a first class operator. Please join me in prayer for this brave fallen warrior and the Harris family. Josh was from Lexington, NC and leaves behind his wife, Serina; his parents; his twin sister, Kiki and his brother, Ranchor. God bless the Teams and all of our service personnel in every branch.
I've read all the infantile whining over a lost football game that I can possibly stomach before retching so ya'll have a wonderful week, count your blessings and hug your wives and children – make sure you tell them how much you love them while you have the opportunity.
