Wow, I didn't realize UT was about to be 0-5 in the SEC. Was it expected to be this bad there? Any hope for the shortterm future?

(I'm not trolling you JB, just haven't paid attention to them after Kiffin left)

I consider myself very knowledgeable regarding the history and vibe of UT football, and it was supposed to be bad, but not THIS bad.


**Not so fast my friend?** Vols are fighting.

Originally, was supposed to be bad, but not this bad, but with all the injuries at very very thin positions they have now done better than expected. 7 out of 11 offensive players are freshmen. 4/5ths o-line never started a game before. Lost all DTs. Lost 1/2 of defensive backs. Walkons having to start etc.

"Arnett, at 6-foot, 167 pounds, is considered the No. 2 player from the state of Michigan, the No. 6 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 60 overall prospect by rivals.com. He fielded more than 40 offers from across the country, but ultimately chose the Vols over nearby Michigan State. Southern Cal, Cal and Michigan got their hats on the table, but Arnett said he had known for “about a month” that he would commit to UT. “Everything about it I liked when I went down there,” said Arnett, who visited campus unofficially for the Oregon game in September. “With Da’Rick (Rogers) and Justin (Hunter) on one side and me in the slot, things can be special at UT.”"

already retardedly loaded at WR, never hurts to add another beast

Quote :

"Junior-college defensive tackle Maurice Couch committed to Tennessee on Sunday evening, giving the Vols their second four-star commitment in less than a week. Couch (6-foot-2, 295 pounds) originally committed to Tennessee in October, but quickly changed his mind because he wanted to see the campus. Couch, accompanied by his parents and girlfriend, was on hand for Saturday’s 52-14 victory over Ole Miss as an official visitor. He left campus this morning expecting to announce his decision Dec. 1 at his school, Garden City (Kan.) Community College, but opted to end his recruitment again by notifying the UT staff by phone. “Tennessee will be my next home,” Couch said on his Twitter account. “I am 1000% sure.” Couch, an Edgewater, Fla., native, had offers from schools across the country, but ultimately chose UT over South Carolina, Kansas and Florida. Four-star wide receiver DeAnthony Arnett (Saginaw, Mich.) committed to UT on Wednesday."

god a bad feeling about this game, Kentucky is a much better team on paper this year and Tennessee has beat up some shit teams lately (of course they are shit too so that doesnt mean you can totally discount those games) but I just dont see it happening.

but 25 years is a long time haha

The cats came to play and UT's o-line is getting dominated. This might be a long afternoon for the Vols.

This one might be coming down to an on-sides kick. I'm still really nervous on this game even with a 10 point lead.

"Vols' dominance over Wildcats ingrained Sometimes, things are simply ingrained. Sort of like the Kentucky-Tennessee football rivalry, if you really want to call it a rivalry. It’s ingrained in the Vols that they’re supposed to win this game. It’s ingrained in the Wildcats that they’re supposed to lose it. The players change. The coaches change. Even the way the game is played changes. What doesn’t change is the result. Tennessee defeated Kentucky 24-14 on Saturday, extending the Vols’ winning streak in this series to 26 straight games. It’s the longest active winning streak in the country among FBS teams that play every year. And not to make the Wildcats feel any worse than they already do, but if they weren’t going to end the streak over this Tennessee team, you’ve got to ask yourself if they ever will. The Wildcats fumbled at the goal line when it looked like they were about to go ahead 14-0 early in the game. They shanked a punt. They missed a field goal. They gave up 354 passing yards. Joker Phillips opted not to go for it in the fourth quarter when it was fourth-and-2 at the Tennessee 37, and punter Ryan Tydlacka sailed one in the end zone for a touchback. In short, they did all the things that it takes to lose a game like this. It was a microcosm of this series for the last quarter century. Tennessee, on the other hand, found a way to recover from a 2-6 hole after going 0-for-October. The Vols went with true freshman Tyler Bray as their starting quarterback and haven’t lost since. He's thrown 12 touchdown passes in his four career starts. Sure, the competition in November was weak, but the Vols (6-6, 3-5) were playing a ton of first-year players and now get an extra few weeks of practice because they’re eligible to go to a bowl. If two SEC teams make it into BCS bowls, look for Tennessee to wind up in the Music City Bowl in nearby Nashville. When you consider where this team was in October (and where the program was when Derek Dooley took over in January), it's obvious he and his staff have done a terrific job of squeezing just about everything they could out of this season. A win in the bowl game would give the Vols a 7-6 record, which is the identical record they finished with a year ago under Lane Kiffin. Never has there been a more celebrated 7-6 season in Tennessee history than the one a year ago. A lot of that was Kiffin bemoaning his lack of talent all season, even though the Vols had six players drafted, including two in the first round. Dooley has spent more time coaching than bemoaning, and when you look at all the young players contributing in this program, the future is indeed bright in Big Orange Country."

"Northwestern's QB Worley named National Player of the Year Northwestern High School standout quarterback Justin Worley is the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year. Worley, who verbally committed to play for the University of Tennessee next year, passed for 13,385 yards and 157 touchdowns during his high school career. He led the Trojans to a perfect 15-0 this season and Class AAAA-Division II state championship with a 42-10 victory against Greenwood on Dec. 3. Worley is the first athlete from South Carolina to be named National Football Player of the Year. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound senior quarterback passed for 5,315 yards and a state-record 64 touchdown passes this season. Worley also was named 2010-2011 South Carolina's High School Football Player of the Year by Gatorade earlier this month. The award recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field. A 2010 Shrine Bowl selection and a 2010 South Carolina Mr. Football finalist, Worley set the state’s single-season record for touchdown passes, breaking the mark set by 2005-06 and 2006-07 Gatorade South Carolina Football Player of the Year Willy Korn (53) in 2005. He has thrown more than 50 touchdowns in a season in two of the last three years and has averaged a score once every 9.6 times he has touched the ball in 2010. Worley also maintained a 4.07 GPA. A devoted member of his church community, he has volunteered locally as a guest speaker on behalf of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and participated in food and clothing drives for area homeless. “Justin Worley is an outstanding quarterback,” said South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association Executive Director Shell Dula. “He’s in the top one percent of the players they’ve ever had there, and that’s saying something.” Worley will graduate from Northwestern in January and enroll at Tennessee in the spring. The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by ESPN RISE and the Gatorade high school sports leadership team, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport. Worley joins recent Gatorade South Carolina Football Players of the Year Marcus Lattimore (2009-10 & 2008-09, Byrnes) and Daquan Bowers (2007-08, Bamberg-Ehrhardt) among the state’s list of former award winners. Worley is the third Northwestern player to win the award joining Dee Feaster (1994-95) and Jeff Burris (1989-90). He is the first player from the Rock Hill area to win since Rock Hill's Chris Hope (1997-98).
