shit, I ALWAYS call him Charles hahaha, GO MARLINS! haha


and I meant that Johnson was #1, and Meachem and Manningham probably tied for #2

10/11/2006 4:18:45 PM

Alright, wont get to watch much football today, got 7 hours of volleyball then about 6 hours of poker...


game will probably be closer than the spread, and somewhat low scoring:

UT - 20
Bama - 13

10/21/2006 12:23:22 PM

about what I expected, was off by 4 points

UT - 16
Bama - 13

10/22/2006 2:06:58 AM

Hmmm, lets compare my very initial season estimate with whats really happened:


California Knoxville, Tenn. - very tough opener.. I call a very very close W (hahah, right on the W, thats about it

Air Force Knoxville, Tenn. - W (correct)
Florida Knoxville, Tenn. - L (correct)
Marshall (Homecoming) Knoxville, Tenn. - W (correct)
Memphis Memphis, Tenn. - W (correct)
Georgia Athens, Ga. - L (wrong, oh darn)
Alabama Knoxville, Tenn. - W (correct)
South Carolina Columbia, S.C. - another close one... L
LSU Knoxville, Tenn. - L
Arkansas Fayetteville, Ark. - W
Vanderbilt Nashville, Tenn. - W (this wont happen again, not with SuperCutler gone)
Kentucky Knoxville, Tenn. - W


8-4, some shitty fucking bowl (now thinking 10-2, losing to LSU but beating South Carolina, but still probably some second tier bowl )

10/23/2006 2:44:29 AM

Spurrier, for the most part, has had Fulmer's number (although not so much the last 4-5 times) so I originally called this one a loss... I am going to stick with that just so I dont lay the jinx on UT..

UT - 27
South Carolina - 30



oh, and from page 1:

shit, Swain isnt looking good, probably wont play...


that means:

the top DT will be out (hes been out since the second game)

#1 CB is out

starting RB is out

#2 WR is out

10/27/2006 2:20:30 AM

harrell played in the thrd game.

inky was not the #1 CB

10/27/2006 7:03:46 AM

Harrell played part time in the third, and Inky was lined up as the #1 in the game he got hurt in.

10/27/2006 1:25:06 PM

sweet, Gameday is at the game...


jesus, the way they are talking it sounds like they think Tenn will win by 30

LSU this week

10/30/2006 4:48:49 PM

no idea how this one will go... they should have spanked us last year at LSU with all the Katrina emotions and stuff and how horrible we were, but we pulled that one out. This year its at Knoxville, LSU is favored by 2. I had this down as a definite loss at the start of the season but LSU hasnt been playing up to their potential at all so far...

10/30/2006 8:46:56 PM

How do they get LSU as a -2 favorite?

I might have to get in on that. I like UT at home in this one.

11/1/2006 11:31:31 AM

I dont... although Tennessee is great as an underdog, but I think LSU is really really good but just havent played a complete game yet

11/1/2006 11:34:05 AM

its looking like there is decent chance that Ainge wont be able to play


if that happens..... ugly

11/2/2006 6:38:23 PM

I am not confident in this one at all. Even if Ainge does play, his mobility is gonna be limited and LSU has the most sacks in the SEC and also has a top 3 or 4 defense nationally. With the revenge factor also at play, I think LSU wins by 10.

11/2/2006 6:42:01 PM

Quote :

"KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Injured Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge practiced more on Thursday, but coach Phillip Fulmer was vague about how much his starter would be able to play against No. 13 LSU on Saturday. Ainge sprained his right ankle in last week's game at South Carolina and has been limited in practice. His backup, Jonathan Crompton, a redshirt freshman, has played sparingly so far this season but has been preparing to play if necessary. The No. 8 Volunteers face one of the toughest defenses in Division I-A this weekend. "Erik did everything today, practically everything. That's a real plus. That's much improved from yesterday. Still don't have any solid say on exactly what we're going to do, but I'd say it looks like he's going to be able to play," Fulmer said. When asked to explain whether the decision is about Ainge starting or how much he will play, Fulmer said, "Just how we're going to do it. That's just kind of where we are. ... That's all I need to say about it." Fulmer said a game plan could be decided Friday or before kickoff. Crompton missed last season to heal from shoulder surgery. Ainge came out of spring practice ahead of Crompton on the depth chart. Crompton has played in four games this season, but only attempted passes against California and Memphis. He is 4-of-4 for 44 yards. "Jonathan is talented (and) has done extremely well. He's ready to play. Either one that's out there I expect them to do the job and do well," Fulmer said. "Obviously Jonathan ... against the No. 1 defense in the country, that's not exactly how you want to start your career. He'll certainly get some time. Erik being a little bit on the gimpy side, although I believe he'll be fine to play, that's not exactly the kind of defense you want to go against." "

11/3/2006 1:00:16 PM

all the local sports shows in Knoxville are talking like Crompton is starting



my official prediction(s):

with Ainge
LSU - 20
Tenn - 10

without Ainge
LSU - 31
Tenn - 9

11/4/2006 1:48:22 PM

11/5/2006 12:47:42 AM

smokey should have chowed down on some LSU players.

11/5/2006 12:54:19 AM

hell yeah, good game, much better than I thought it would be.


Russell played huge (literally) and Crompton was better than expected. That 4th and 8 was the play of the game, Tennessee's secondary didnt play that great all game and it really showed on that play.

Good win LSU

11/5/2006 1:35:04 PM

Fulmer has had his hands full the last 3 seasons, that gym incident a few years ago was the best

11/5/2006 1:35:29 PM

yeah, when i first heard this early today i was worried it was some shit starting again, but underage drinking in college and having someone yell at you at a bar is a relief.

97 Arkansas game is on ESPN Classic... great game

11/9/2006 2:45:50 PM

Is that the one that went 95 overtimes?

Personally I liked the Kelly Washington v. Batman game..

11/9/2006 2:47:59 PM

no, that was years later... and this isnt the 98 game with the Stoerner Stumble. This was just a really close game. And I forgot how fucking loaded that Tenn team was. Peyton, Leonard Little, Deon Grant, Al Wilson, Jamal Lewis, Marcus Nash, Terry Fair, Cedrick Wilson, Travis Henry, Shawn Bryson, Travis Stephens, Peerless, Raynoch, Darwin Walker, Chad Clifton, Eric Parker, David Martin, Jonathan Brown, Fread Weary, Shaun Ellis, etc... there were probablt 30-40 future NFLers on that team... just couldnt beating fucking Florida



sigh, just talked about how Peyton was a lock for the Heisman... fucking Charles The Sham Woodson

11/9/2006 2:54:40 PM

well, I'll be damned, I guess Tennessee has done a trick play at some point... throwback to Manning for a 20 yard gain. Had forgotten about that. Lets see, that was 1997, that means the next trick play will be around 2020

11/9/2006 3:39:01 PM

Way way too many people out.... had a chance with Ainge but without...


Arkansas - 28
UT - 20

11/11/2006 5:39:42 PM

haha. Redemption. Dont think so.

11/11/2006 9:25:02 PM

^^ after last season, they were redeemed about a month ago...



McFadden was a beast and Crompton is ok for a RS Freshman, but it was obvious tonight that he is FAR from Ainge

[Edited on November 12, 2006 at 1:31 AM. Reason : f]

11/12/2006 1:31:06 AM

if this is redemption, then i poop lucky charms

11/12/2006 11:35:37 AM

going from a losing season to probably 9 wins even with a ton of injuries, and two wins against top 10 teams and two plays away from beating Florida and LSU which would have made it 4 top 15 teams... I'll take it.

11/12/2006 12:20:22 PM

both of those top 10 teams could not be in the top 20 when its all said and done

11/12/2006 12:21:41 PM

but that doesnt matter because TN beating them was one of the factors that made them drop in the polls in the first place...

[Edited on November 12, 2006 at 12:23 PM. Reason : d]

11/12/2006 12:23:32 PM

no idea what to think about this game... We SHOULD beat Vandy by double digits, but they always play up to Tennessee, and with Ainge not being 100%...


Still say UT - 42
Vandy - 29

11/18/2006 6:13:41 AM

well, that was easier than I expected, at least somethings gone right today.


UT - 39
Vandy - 10

11/18/2006 6:27:12 PM

bump to the top?

11/25/2006 3:27:00 PM

hell, lost to Vandy last year, might as well lose to Kentucky this year to get it out of their system for another 25 years


fucking losers, I know Kentucky is "better" this year, but they are still garbage

Vols Land Big Fish

Gerald Jones By Greg Powers
Scout.com
Posted Nov 29, 2006

Tennessee’s 2007 recruiting efforts received a huge boost in the arm Tuesday night when Oklahoma City star Gerald Jones gave them an oral commitment to sign a Letter of Intent.

Scout.com four-star prospect Gerald Jones, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound athlete from Millwood High in Oklahoma City, Okla. decided to give a verbal pledge to Tennessee following a recent in-home visit.
Jones is rated as the No. 9 running back in the country by Scout.com. He instantly became one of the highest rated commitments in the 2007 Volunteer recruiting class that also includes standouts like Brent Vinson, Donald Langley, Darris Sawtelle, and B.J. Coleman.

He was considering offers from Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Florida and Oklahoma State before selecting Tennessee.

Jones credits the atmosphere of the program and strong bond with former Oklahoma prep star Robert Meachum as the main reasons for his decision. He is also looking forward to playing in the ultra competitive Southeastern Conference.

“It was a great visit to Tennessee,” Jones reported to Scout.com when asked about his 11/3 official visit to Knoxville. “I have been high on Tennessee for a long time and I really liked the atmosphere while I was on my visit.”

So far this season from his quarterback position Jones has rushed for 1,202 yards and 11 scores and passed for 1,561 yards and 21 touchdowns leading his team to a state semifinal match-up this weekend.

Jones along with 79 other top national gridiron prep stars has been selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American


Brent Vinson, #6 WR, *****
Gerald Jones, #9 RB, ****
Darris Sawtelle, #14 OT, ****
BJ Coleman, #28 QB, ***
Donald Langley, #57 DT, ***
