We are not a "Team" right now.

I read a post on VolQuest this morning that I found intriguing:  http://tennessee.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?Style=2&SID=879&fid=2251&tid=119987296

A poster there named, "kb11" made a post that caught my attention.  The subject was on pulling Stephens for Crompton, and how that made the user feel about CPF's coaching ability. 

The comment was: 

It's just completely shows how removed he is from his team. To be playing two guys at the same time that will not even acknowledge each other (Crompton and Foster) speaks volumes. Fulmer should've been fired on the sideline. He's a complete joke.

 

Is this the situation between Crompton and Foster?  Man that's bad.  When I saw Crompton go in the game, I knew, just knew that we werent going to win the game, and that we wouldn't even have a chance to win.  These two players aren't even acknowledging each other?  And you put them in the game at the same time?  What happened to team chemistry?  Is that not important anymore?

Tennessee Football right now is the punchline to a national joke, and it's humiliating.  There is nothing about this group of players in knoxville that to me says "Team".  We are not a team, we are a joke. 

Players are laughing on the sideline during humiliating losses after personal acheivements.  That's not what a "team" does.  Players are getting penalties (2 offsides on special teams) and showing lack of discipline.

The only thing that helped me get through yesterday was Georgia's loss, and commiserating with their fans about our respective situations.

Tennessee is failing in the most basic aspects of the game:  Running, throwing, catching, blocking and tackling.  None of these are our strong suits.  I tend to think most of the players have quit on their coach.
