I don't know about you
but I really was looking forward to not playing Alabama again this week. I guess you can’t always get what you want.
Ha!
Yeah, that would not be good. Although, that would make two games for them this week, so, you know, maybe it would be all right.
Thanks for catching that.
Go Vols!

I never thought I'd say this, but...
Thank god we got Florida out of the way early. I don’t even want to think what that game would’ve looked like once they got their legs under them.

And you can say that again, too
Same rules apply.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions
True dat.
But I also think that Joel was onto something when he said that UGA was overrated at the beginning of the season.
They’re a very good team, but they haven’t been great. That close game against Spurrier isn’t quite as foreboding.
You can say that again
But please don’t.
Go Vols!

Wow
When did we get to the point where there’s national television coverage of a NASCAR practice?
It’s practice.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 6:58 PM EDT reply actions
Are you channeling Allen Iverson?
Although I’m really wondering who would be watching NASCAR practice who wasn’t watching college football. I’ve got to think there’s a demographic overlap.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 7:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Why?
Why are the SC fans waving napkins?

Possible answer
Chicken’s messy.

They couldn't get enough towels
Although I guess that’s kind of a Georgia joke at this point in time.

Coverage not too bad
But there were a lot of gaps between players running down the field trying to tackle the guy.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 7:07 PM EDT reply actions
Haven't they run the first three plays to his side?
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 7:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, and they're punting after three tries
Woo.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 7:09 PM EDT up reply actions
True
But I figured they’d have run to the other side.

Nice!

Hey, that's what a passing play looks like!
And who’s that guy? Taylor? Wasn’t he a big deal last year?
Like that first play
27-yarder, Stephens to Taylor. Cool.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 7:10 PM EDT reply actions
Nice
That looked like they didn’t give Stephens a play.
Go Vols!

At this point I have to think the problem's on the sidelines somewhere
Because the OC forgetting to call a play just blows my mind.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions
What happened?
I’m still searching for online coverage. Got the audio now, but I missed the reason for a timeout.
Stephens . . .
. . . was looking at the sideline waiting for the play. At least that’s how it looked. Both hands, palms uplifted.
Go Vols!

Saints Row 2 loks pretty cool

Can I just say before we all get too drunk how much I appreciate the volume of wit, grace, and gentility on display on this site, week in and week out? (No matter how much we try and cover it up.)

Me, too
It almost seems as if he’s upset at what the offense he’s been thrust into but as the new guy thinks he needs to tiptoe about with criticism. His frustration is beginning to show, though, and I think that might be a good thing.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
At this point
I think some emotion, any emotion, on offense would be a step in the right direction.

Yeah, I like what he's growing into
And I have a lot of confidence that he’ll become quality. It’s just tough for him, given the general stupidity of the moment.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 7:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Little surprise there.
3rd and 10 is an obvious passing down, and they knew where Stephens would be.
I'm a little put out
that Spurrier finally realized Garcia’s better than Smelley. MUCH rather be defending him.

Me too
Garcia has been clearly superior when I’ve seen him play.
"Florida didnt win their first SEC title until 1991 and now they think they invented football."
-Ron Zook
yeah
Fortunately, he’s only one mistake from being yanked again.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions
I mean, at first I just liked him because he's basically the white Ryan Perrilloux
but it turns out the kid can play.

Fortunately, being the white Ryan Perrilloux means he's one bad decision away from suspension
It just probably won’t happen in the next three hours.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 7:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Now why
didn’t that ref tackle the guy?
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 7:24 PM EDT reply actions
D-Line
Our line is going to have to stay in their gaps if Garcia is going to keep rolling out like that.
Usually must-score possessions take until at least the third quarter
"Florida didnt win their first SEC title until 1991 and now they think they invented football."
-Ron Zook
If we think it's a must-score now
We’ll score by the third quarter.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh, I see
Planning ahead. That’s a good idea.
Go Vols!

What are protection schemes?
Ending that sack with a holding penalty was really the icing on that failcake.

After that delay-that-wasn’t earlier they owe us a few yards.

Fulmer's man-love obsession with crompton is sick
i don’t like to see our players fail, but . . .
Eh, I guess I can kind of see the idea behind it
The idea is horribly flawed and doomed to failure, but I see the idea at least. I’m a little surprised that wasn’t called a fumble. That would’ve been the only way to be a more spectacular fail.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Coaches know way more about football than me. I give them lots of benefit of doubt.
But Fulmer better explain the decision to pull Stephens after the game. He owes the fans that much.
I think it was a one-drive thing
The alternative is too scary to fathom unless absolutely required.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, I may or may not have yelled
Something that would’ve been completely Fulmerized here.

Here's the thing
Stephens is so new…there’s just NO evidence, esp with the hits he’s taken so far, to suggest he’d get shaken up. He had to know this moment would come. What has he done thus far to suggest he’d come completely unhinged under duress?

It still sounds like a move out of fear.
If they’re afraid of Stephens failing, I can understand the move. I still don’t agree, but I can see. I’d much rather risk the success story by letting Stephens take a shot.
It sounds like something New Steve Spurrier would do.

Right Now
I would think putting Crompton back in carries a much greater risk of failure. We have all the games through the Auburn game as evidence.
yup
"Florida didnt win their first SEC title until 1991 and now they think they invented football."

The biggest thing is this:
Ruining both guys. It’s exactly what we did in 2005.

by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 1, 2008 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Me too. But I'm talking about a protective move.
They’re more worried about a STEPHENS failure than a Stephens success. I should have specified that.
FWIW
I think it was a fumble.

Oh, so now Creer has fumbled
And he’ll never see the field again, either? Notwithstanding the alternatives?
Go Vols!

Quick kick on first down
Hope for Berry to get six interceptions before the game is out.

Whether it was a fumble
It was.

I'd put Crompton back in
Have him hand off to Creer.

Stephens, I mean
Shoot. It’s catching.

"Do we continue to go with Crompton?"
I will rip your tie off with my mind from where I sit, Bob Davie, if you keep that up and mean it seriously.
If you haven't started drinking, start doing doubles.
Crompton’s in, and you need to see the field like he does.

Hey, lawvol
Welcome to the baffle zone.

I feel so bad for the defense
It’s like they’re in a potato sack race with an amputee for a partner.

Lack of grit
He can’t play. Lacks leadership.

missed the first few minutes
but the score and rusty’s comment pretty much tell me what I need to know…

If you've missed it
The key to the game is that Stephens threw a pick six and Fulmer yanked him immediately for Crompton like he was just waiting, hoping for him to make a mistake. Folks not happy.
Go Vols!

Hey, I have an idea!
Bet everyone knows what it is!

paint yourself blue and run around naked in the yard?
oh, no that was my idea, sorry

Oh, no
I can’t believe I have the Fulmerizer pointed at hooper. The world is coming to an end.

Night will break into day
Even if that day is the day after Crompton wastes his eligibility. And yes, wastes is the right word.

Oh, the day will come
We’re just in Alaska right now.

Announcers talking politics now
Normally that’s sacrilege, but I’ll take any distraction right now.

Might I suggest the game on ABC?
I hear it’s supposed to be good.

Can Chattanooga get some love?
B.J. Coleman has plenty of hand off experience.

That's one way to get yards
Get the defender to tackle you by throwing you three yards down the field.
YAT. Yards after tackle.

I can't believe Crompton is still on the field

I would die if they interviewed Fulmer at halftime and asked him what he was drinking

Ummmmm
well, that’s one way to get yards, I guess

That's another way
Throw into triple coverage, have it bounce off into the tailback five yards away from the tip and run through the chaos for 15.

Whoops, it was a sack
I was close, though.

Someone tell Crompton
to quit staring at his receivers….again
and being statuesque
although someone came in unblocked there.

Maybe
Line play is so bad that we could Phil Fulmer himself in there and get about the same quarterback play.

At this point
Screw it. Stare ’em down some more, totally miss the blitz.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions
At this point, how bad is it
That I’m rooting for Crompton to fail spectacularly? This is kind of me wanting to rub Fulmer’s nose in it.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Virtually all of me is pulling for a win
but I’m not so terribly upset as I normally would be because Fulmer does deserve to get his face rubbed in the poo poo pile.
Cannons... fire them.
www.BucEm.com - SBNation's home for discussion of all things regarding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Maybe I should clarify
I really, really want to see a comeback. However, if Fulmer thinks it’s going to happen with Crompton under center he’s out of his mind, hence rubbing his nose in that.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 1, 2008 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions
Agree completely
I don’t understand this at all. One bad throw from Nick and we’re cursed with City of Crompton again. Sigh.

What did Stevens do or say
for us to deserve this?
"Sorry Coach, it won't happen again"
Response: “Better believe it won’t happen again”

Did he get into it with somebody on the sideline?
That’s the only other thing I can think of.

Looks like he's been rolling with
George Hamilton
By the way
Yardages/ / plays on drives since Crompton came in:
3 / -2
1 / 0
3 / 7
5 / 21
1 / -1
Let’s keep him in! He’ll lead Tennessee to the promised land!
And yes, I'm more than a little pissed right now
If anyone’s curious.
