I have a few points i would like to make about some of UT's "fans".

1. when we lose, it's the coaches fault, however, when we win, it's solely because of the players, the coaching staff never gets any credit.

players play, coaches coach, and from my seat in the rose bowl, fulmer didn't fumble, fulmer didn't overthrow any passes and fulmer didn't blow the safety call.

2. sometimes i get frustrated with chavis' "prevent" defense, however, what if he had manned up like some of you are suggesting, and kraft threw one down the sideline for a 75 yard touchdown pass, most of you all would have screamed "why were we in man coverage, we should have been playing a zone and have made them beat us by throwing 10 yard passes."

people can't have it both ways. and it annoys the hell out of me how you people are not subjective at all.

virginia tech lost to east carolina on saturday, given most of you all's rationale, frank beamer should be fired.

i'm just happy my friends and the people i watch football with don't bitch and complain like most of you all, we enjoy football, and our alma mater, we win some, we lose some, but we never dwell on if fulmer and co. should be fired.

enjoy the game people, that's what it's there for.

if there has ever been a group of sheep, it's the alabama faithful and their almighty saban.

perhaps alabama is the team that should find a new pasture, going 6-6 and all.

hopefully we can keep it that way.

from what i've been hearing, UK is not looking like they're going to be a real threat to many teams, however, they could always catch a team or two off guard.

I agree with you, but being #2 in the country last year, doesn't equate to any kind of success this year. take UT's '05 season as an example.
