Tennessee's offensive line is so unbelievably bad and it's not gotten any better this year.
-
He'd pretty much have to win out or almost win out to have a shot. I can't imagine they'd keep him, but I've heard that Foley really likes Muschamp and wants to keep him if he can.
-
I'm not making a shocking announcement, but none deserved to anyway - the east is awful. While I hate seeing Florida win, it does make things slightly more likely that Muschamp keeps his job and that's a good thing since he's awful.

The bowl system in and of itself is fine, but it's wholly inadequate as a postseason system.
-
To be honest, I've never cared that much when Tennessee won any bowl other than the title game. Sure it's cool to see my team win and I'd love to see Tennessee start getting back to bowl games, but it's not because the bowl games are/were particularly meaningful. They're as meaningful now as they ever have been - a chance to see your team one more time in an exhibition game. Anything the NCAA does to make the postseason format actually mean something and not just be a meaningless series of exhibition games is good. We can debate the merits of a selection committee and I would probably fall on the side of there almost certainly being a better way, but a playoff system gives us the best of both worlds - an actual meaningful postseason system while keeping the exhibition games that give lesser teams extra practices and (varying degrees of) more exposure.

I disagree with this pretty strongly, especially in regard to Ivory vs Torrey Smith. Russell Wilson is clearly the best player in the deal, but his utility to weis is hampered greatly by the fact that he can only start one of Rodgers/Wilson each week - he's wasting a roster spot by carrying 2 QBs. Out of the other three, Fantasypros (not definitive, but a quality grouping of many "experts") has them ranked this way for the rest of the season in terms of flex: Ivory: 49 Sankey: 66 Torrey: 76 I tend to agree with that as well. Ivory is the 13th ranked RB in scoring this season, Torrey is the 38th ranked WR in scoring (all according to standard PPR scoring). As for Sankey, I'm not going to make some silly argument that he's been great or even good, but he's a talented young RB who is showing improvement as the season goes along - he's at four yards per carry for the season and that's mostly been done with Charlie Whitehurst at QB. If Mettenberger can bring even some semblance of consistency to the QB position, I see no reason that Sankey won't get better as we go along. How much better is the question. I'd rank Wilson as the best player in the deal, Ivory clearly second best and then an argument over upside between Torrey and Sankey for the third spot.

Ah, missed that part. That's possible, though you'd be losing two 3-stars at the same time and that's a really big gap to jump. It certainly would be closer, though.
-
Hindsight is always 20/20, but I like the call. In his own zone, down by only 1 TD, 3rd Quarter? I could see it if the gap was wider or it's the 4Q, but not there. You also have a big RB who has been running very well the entire game and breaking plenty of tackles. It was a big risk, but one that should have paid off.
-
I'm a fan of a team that is 29-1 in the past 30 meetings between Tennessee and Kentucky and I'll be rather shocked if UT is able to win when that games gets here. That's insane to me (no offense UK).
-
Tennessee looked good against Alabama after a horrid start. Josh Dobbs was pretty impressive once he came in, but I've got to wonder why Butch had Peterman start the game. The man has some kind of weird obsession with bad QBs or something I guess. Not confident about South Carolina Saturday. This is a winnable game, but our offense is going to have to be productive because Carolina's offense is going to score and Spurrier is probably going to outcoach Butch. Hopefully Dobbs finishes the year as the starter since we burned his redshirt.
-
I'm really happy with how Mettenberger looked today, but man are the Titans a bad, undisciplined team. I'm hoping the poor defense is just a one-year transition to the 3-4, but the ridiculous amount of penalties is worrying me. 8 penalties per game is beyond excessive.
-
Rivals had both Dudek and Allison as 3-stars. Rivals also had Illinois signing no one better than 3 stars and the Illini were ranked 42 spots behind Wisconsin - all in last year's class.
-
2 Juwan Thompson TDs.......
-
That's a bright, promising scholar right there.
-
Zach Mettenberger will start Sunday for the Titans, despite Locker apparently being healthy. I'm a fan of this. Mettenberger is a really intriguing guy and I was hoping we'd get a good look at him this season prior to making a decision on a QB in the draft. This move definitely makes the future better one way or the other (either Mettenberger shows he can be a franchise QB or he shows that we need to use a 1st rounder on one), but it might help the present too. Locker isn't that great and can't stay healthy and Whitehurst is very clearly nothing but a decent backup.
-
What a fall for a guy who played really well early on in his career. Ayers seemed like a really good pick early on, but has barely played at all this year and clearly just fell out of favor with the current staff. Him not being a fit for a 3-4 seems odd to me as his skillset seems to fit it, but he wasn't playing. We got nothing for him - just moved up from the 7th round to the 6th round and the Pats got our 7th. Eh, I'm in full Suck for the Duck mode anyway. Let's just keep losing and take Mariota.
-
I think South Carolina being this bad has surprised everybody. Heck, I had them winning the east going away.
-
He had a live interview on NFL Network from his house with Steve Mariucci there earlier today. I doubt he really wanted to be there in person and I don't think it's all that unusual - especially since there was no guarantee Peyton would break it tonight.
-
lol. sports fans are the worst. Yeah, that's dumb. On the other side, didn't someone say he was the best coach in the country pre season? How's that working out for ya? Are you claiming I said that? I believe that was Ryne Ween, but I'm not sure.
-
I'm figuring Alabama's going to continue to be very mad and very focused, meaning this is not going to be a good game for Tennessee. It won't help that the team has given the fans no reason to stay behind them.
-
Don't hire VanGorder plz I was pretty upset when Butch passed on Vangorder to be his DC when he came to Tennessee. I think Florida's going to shoot higher for their HC, though.
-
Yeah, he's gone. Florida is awful. It doesn't help his chances that FSU is back on top either. I'm going to miss Muschamp at UF. Tennessee can't beat him, but we can't beat Florida regardless of the coach. It is fun to watch Florida lose to everybody else, though.
-
Well, the Tennessee/Ole Miss game went about as expected. The Vols hung tough into the third quarter and then the more talented Rebels pulled away. It's still very concerning to me that the UT offensive line has shown no improvement whatsoever and might even be regressing. Worley struggled today, but a lot of that blame can be placed on him pressing due to the offensive line giving him no time at all. I didn't see anything today to change my mind that this is not going to be a bowl team after losing to Florida.
-
He definitely has a tendency to get a bit pass happy in his playcalling, which can be fine if you have the personnel to do that. I liken him a lot to David Cutcliffe - very bright offensive mind (though I like Cut more), players love him, develops talent and makes it work within the system well (Cordarrelle Patterson for instance) but really likes to throw the ball. I thought he adapted well going from the more run-oriented philosophy of Lane Kiffin to the shotgun spread, pass happy philosophy of Dooley. He was clearly better as Dooley's OC, though.
-
I honestly don't think we'll make one. We'd have to beat 2 out of 3 of Missouri/Kentucky/South Carolina and I'm just not sure we can do that. My guess is that we'll beat 1 of the 3 and finish 5-7 for the third year in a row.
