What Fulmer is Doing to Correct the Problems With Tennessee Football. (Hint: NOTHING!)

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 26, 2007


Liberty Bowl here we come!!!

In January 1999. Her husband, Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer, had just guided the Vols to the BCS national championship, capping a 13-0 season with a win over Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. On a happy plane ride home to Knoxville from Arizona, Vicky made a simple request. “Look me in the eye and listen to me,” Vicky told Phillip. “I want you to retire. It’s never going to get any better than this. You’ve reached your goals. Let’s move on and do something else.”

Phillip thought about it and replied, “Do you know any other job I can do that pays this well?” Wow who said women can’t be right? :) I’m joking!! Calm down!

Now the year is 2007. In the three losses this year Tennessee has been outscored 145 to 68. Now as we prepare for USC this Saturday one has to wonder what Coach Fulmer is doing to correct the problems that has been plaguing his program this year. So far he is making them fill out a chart which asks what the players can do to improve on a daily basis. Story A chart…a chart ALWAYS cures problems.

Now I work in the corporate world so I know from personal experiences that charts, questioners & other forms that are used to boost moral generally make the problems worse. Fulmer is the head coach, the players shouldn’t have to tell him what they can do to become better, he and the other coaches should be telling them what they will do in order to become better. And what is this magical chart called? The “Tell Me What  You Need To Work On So I Don’t Lose My Job” chart? In all honesty I think Fulmer actually gave up against Bama.

Now let’s talk about the defense. Chavis has underachieved for years. We have not had an aggressive defense in years. I believe he has lost his edge, and has no idea of how to stop aggressive offenses like the spread option. Here’s what he had to say after the Bama game.

“We didn’t play as well,” UT defensive coordinator John Chavis said. “I hate to say we took a step back, but there’s no getting around that. We did not play as well as we’re capable of playing. And I think when they see the film, I think the players would agree with you.”

A step back? More like a no show. If Fulmer isn’t fired after this season then Chavis needs to at least go.

Shortly before the game an Alabama press release said the players were suspended for “impermissible receipt of textbooks.” To which Billy Bob Bammer in Pell City must have said: “What are our guys doing receipting textbooks anyway?”

It was a serious blow to Alabama’s chances. Especially when Doyle Jackson didn’t overturn the suspensions from the replay booth.

Saban ordered up an onside kick to give his team a jolt.

“You either get it or you don’t get it,” he said.

The man is practically Zen.

Sure enough, Alabama got it, drove down the field and kicked a field goal. Nobody was thinking about suspensions anymore.

“I wasn’t surprised,” said Fulmer.

“The onside kick definitely surprised all of us,” said Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo.

You two want to get your stories straight?

So again the argument will continue over the firing of Fulmer, here are the highlights:

You can make your own decision

So I profess on this day 10/26/07.

YMSWWC’s Men’s College Basketball Preview-Top 25

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 25, 2007

This list was compiled and written by Joel. Who soon will have his own posting powers for this blog. So I’m removing the “guest blogger” status.

*Disclaimer: Even though I am from Memphis and am a Tennessee fan, I will attempt to be as unbiased as possible. Every team has a question, and none of this will matter until March comes around anyway…

1. North Carolina- Ty Lawson running the point with Tyler Hansbrough in the middle and Will Graves either starting or coming off the bench should have Carolina rolling. I am a little concerned about their defense and I do wonder if they can ever recover from last year’s Elite 8 loss against Georgetown, but I think Coach Williams will lead them just fine. Should make it to the Final Four, especially if they can find a consistent outside shooter.

2. UCLA- Defense wins championships, and the Bruins play it. It’s ugly, plodding, physical, tough, but very effective. Kinda reminds me of the Baltimore Ravens, without the “assassin” in the middle and the arrogant head coach. The Bruins now have low post scoring with Kevin Love, but he’s a freshman. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes that’s bad. I would have them #1 if they had more low post depth.

3. Memphis- Some pre-season rankings have the Tigers #1, and in many years they probably would, but there are 2 reasons I don’t: scoring and coaching (the last one almost got me banned in barbershops back home). The Tigers, for all of their talent, could play more of a fast breaking style than they do, but they don’t. Why??? Point #2, coaching. Calipari can sometimes be his own worst enemy. I like that he emphasizes defense, but let the players run. You have the horses. Plus, I can think of at least 10 coaches who are better at in game coaching, 2 of whom are Howland and Williams (see above). Great recruiter though (see Derrick Rose). Also, if the city of Memphis can keep Operation “Keep the Tigers Out Of the Clubs” going, it will be a total team effort.

4. Kansas- If it wasn’t for Brandon Rush tearing his ACL, they would be lower. They still might slide if he cannot fully recover, but wit returning starters and Mario Chalmers off the bench (or starting), I still like their chances. Can anyone explain Rock Chalk Jayhawk to me???

5. Georgetown- I think the loss of Jeff Green hurts more than they let on, even if the Hoyas are using the Princceton offense. With Roy Hibbert opting to stay for another year, they should be fine. Plus I do like Vernon Macklin to be the new Jeff Green, if there is such a thing. Also, Georgetown must go into the year as the hunted, so let’s see how John Thompson III coaches this team.

6. Louisville- For the most part, this is a young Louisville team. Next year, they should be at the top. For now, #6. Why this high this year??? A solid front court, a young guard combo, and Rick Pitino’s pressing style of play are the reasons. I am a little worried about games that may turn into a shootout. Will they have the horses to keep up??? Where’s my mint julep???

7. Michigan State- This ranking may be a little high too, but I love Drew Neitzel’s game. He’s a shooter and should easily score 20 a night. Tom Izzo is a top coach and incoming freshman Chris Allen should be a stud. Someone else besides Neitzel needs to score. Who will step up??? One of the best student sections too, btw…

8. Tennessee- This is year 1 A.D. (After Dane), so who’s gonna take on the leadership role??? Oh yeah, Chris Lofton is there…never mind. Tyler Smith should contribute immediately, but someone tell Coach Pearl to keep his shirt on. I’ll take the orange blazer before his man boobs. His chest isn’t Rocky Top, it’s Rocky Flop.

9. Indiana- Though I have never been a Kelvin Sampson fan, he has talent and he can coach. D.J. White and freshman Eric Gordon are gonna be a force in the Big 10. Someone take the cell phone away from Sampson, or at least leave the recruiting to his assistants.

10. Gonzaga- This is conditional on Josh Heytvelt keeping the happy mushrooms out of his pocket and on top of his pizza or favorite pasta dish. There needs to be a German Shepherd at his door and a urine cup in his pocket at all times so he can stay away from trouble. Someone tell him this is college basketball and not “Playmakers”.

11-25 (in no particular order)

Washington State, Texas A&M, Marquette, Duke, Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Kansas State, Arizona, N.C. State, Pitt, Kentucky, Xavier, Arkansas, Miami (OH).

Up & Coming Team: Missouri. Mike Anderson and his up tempo style (a disciple of Nolan Richardson and his 40 Minutes of Hell) should make them at the very least an 8th seeded team in the dance. 4 returning starters in year 2 makes for a dangerous combination.

Overrated: Stanford. A season of promise has turned bad now that Brook Lopez decided to do whatever it was he was doing. Obviously, he wasn’t going to class. Now that Mike Montgomery is back as a “special assistant” to the AD (code words for next head coach), Trent Johnson should be looking over his shoulder.

My Sports Superstitions

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 24, 2007

With the my beloved Red Sox in the world series this year, I’m willing to freely admit I have sports superstitions that I regularly follow. I believe it’s scientific proof that superstition rituals work, just your superstition ritual has to greater than the superstition ritual of a fan on the opposing team. If your team is defeated 2 years in a row year, then it’s time to step your ritual.

I’ll break mine down by team and situation.

Red Sox vs. The (suck ass) Yankees: To ensure a victory for my Red Sox I like to find the direst, whiniest & most disgusting homeless person and throw unopened jars of baby food at them. If it isn’t Gerber then it ain’t shit.

Red Sox In The World Series: I throw a brick at every moron I find wearing a Nickelback t-shirt. I actually do that year around for good measure.

Tennessee vs. Florida: I haven’t nailed this one down yet. Next year I believe if I fire a AK-47 at an impound lot at approximately at 4:30 AM while chanting “Tebo only scored 890 on the SAT” then that should do the trick.

Tennessee vs. Georgia: Right before each game I call my Ex to remind her of how much her mother resembles Uga. She moved and for awhile I couldn’t reach her, but damn that restraining order, for the past 2 years I’ve found her.

Tennessee vs. Alabama: For awhile it was reading from the memoirs of Mike DuBose, but now I’m stepping it up to text book burning.


Pic courtesy of LWS

Tennessee vs. South Carolina: Don’t have one, never have needed one.

Indy Colts vs. Anyone: Simple place a horses head in the bed of a fan from the opposing team.

That’s all the ones I currently do, but if you have any and would like to share feel free and post a comment. If you would like to try any of these for yourself feel free. I highly suggest throwing a brick at a Nickelback fan because I really really really hate that damn band.

So I profess on this day 10/24/07.

Fulmer is Reminded

In the Midst of Losing to Vandy, Spurrier Doesn’t Want People Booing. Or Does He?

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 23, 2007

Steve God Spurrier experienced something that he has never experienced before last Saturday, a loss to Vanderbilt. To make matters worse this wasn’t a road game, it was a home game, and the USC Gamecocks also didn’t score a touchdown. While I personally believe fans have the right to boo, apparently God Spurrier doesn’t.

“That’s the first time that’s happened, isn’t it?” Spurrier said Sunday. “I just assumed they were booing me and the coaches for a bad play call.”

Spurrier said he hoped the fans weren’t booing the players, which he feels is out of line.

“I’ve always sort of gone under the thought that professional players get paid. So you can boo them all you want, and they accept that,” he said. “But college kids are amateurs, and I don’t think you should boo them.”

OK college kids might be amateurs but they are getting a free education, free meals & housing on the dollar of the fans. So in that regard, yes the fans have a right to boo them. For the record some of the fans were booing both God Spurrier & the players. I heard watched the game and heard the call in show on the way home, it was brutal. Some of the USC fans were confused and thought they were Alabama fans by stating and I kid you not. “Fire Spurrier”, “Fire the AD” & “We lost I can’t kiss my cousin/mother in law!”.

Last year God Spurrier told the fans not to cheer, now they can’t boo. Spurrier has called this years team “a bunch of average stiffs”. There’s no place for whining in football. If a division 1 college player can’t handle boos or their feelings getting hurt, they need to try out for the equestrian team. THIS IS FOOTBALL!!!!

Sometime in between Saturdays comments and today God Spurrier has decided that well, fans actually do have the right to boo. I wonder if he is still on the sweet stinky weed that Florida can produce.

“Coach Steve Spurrier says Gamecock fans had the right to boo his team, after garnering a number of small penalties that added up to a big disappointment Saturday against Vanderbilt.

“It was embarassing to take those five yard penalties,” Spurrier said Tuesday during his weekly news conference. “We’re not mad at the fans; they have the right to boo because of the way it happened.” The head ball coach referred to a number of false start penalties called against South Carolina Saturday, that may have cost the Gamecocks a touchdown in at least one situation.”

First of all the author for the liberal media giant, WLTX, misspelled “embarrassing” notice two R’s. I wonder why the sudden change in the attitude concerning the boo birds. Maybe he came down from his Florida sweet stinky weed high.

“I thought we had a good gameplan, but it didn’t work,” the head ball coach said.

On the other hand, Carolina’s defense showed up to play Saturday, and they were able to shut the Commodores out three of four quarters. “The defense, I thought, played very well,” the coach said of his team.

“Hopefully we can get into a close, tight game with them,” Spurrier said of the three-loss team, that also shares two Southeastern conference losses with Florida, Kentucky, and Georgia.”

God Tennessee’s defense sucks. John Chavis needs to fired like yesterday.


John Chavis as Captain Chaos

“This is not our final best team ever, I hope everyone understands that,” the coach stated flatly.

He says this year’s strong recruiting class to go with last year’s strong set will underscore his point, but that he’s not ready to let his depth chart rest.

“I’ll try new players if I think they can play better than the guys out there,” Spurrier mentioned.”

Tell you what, why don’t Tennessee trade some unused offensive players for some USC defensive players. Does that sound fair? Then both Tennessee fans and USC fans can boo all the players at the same time. Nothing says love like fans from opposing schools booing in harmony, and firing Phil Fulmer would help as well.

I just scored tickets to this weekends game. If I go I’m sure this will be my view

So I profess on this day 10/23/07.

Top Ten Reasons Why the Cleveland Indians Blew a Chance too Get to the World Series

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 22, 2007

10. They were to busy admiring Mani Ramirez’s hair.

9. They wanted to devote more time to get KISS in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

8. The death threats from Ben & Casey Affleck were to un-nerving.

7. They wanted to show Drew Carey that it’s OK to have little success & then suck.

6. They would rather audition for “Major League 4 Ass Kicked by Boston” than play in another game.

5. Rest of the team secretly hates Lofton & rather not see him win a ring.

4. Lebron James begged them that he be the one that brings a championship to the city first.

3. They wanted to see if the threats by their manager of not shaving until they won were true.

2. The Boston Red Sox mascot “Wally the Green Monster” was really, really scary.

1. Isn’t it obvious? God hates Cleveland sports.


GO RED SOX!!!!!!!

The Revelations After a Saturdays Worth of Football Week 8

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 22, 2007

Better late than never, I’ve been busy rejoicing Boston’s miracle comeback of the Cleveland Indians. Here are this weeks revelations after a Saturday of college football.

The real test for Ohio State begins this upcoming weekend.

I heard the interview with Les Miles after the thrilling ending of the LSU game, he honestly believed there were 16 seconds on the clock when the ball was snapped…boy was his team lucky.

Oklahoma looked boring.

The upset of South Carolina shouldn’t surprise anyone, they are 88th in total offense and Vandy has the SEC’s 3rd best defense, but it is funny. :)

The rematch of Florida and LSU in the SEC championship game is eagerly awaited.

Oohh Cal lost to UCLA…or as I like to put it…the only team Notre Dame can beat this year. I’m sure Abarclay is a happy camper right now.

Kansas is 7-0…and yet no one cares.

Bye Bye Texas Tech, Missouri just crushed you.

Has anyone noticed that since Mike “I’m 40 I’m a man!” Gundy went on his rant, his team has played extremely well?

Virginia is quietly putting together a good season.

Clemson scored 70 points…which is 3 points higher than their collective IQs

Miami and Florida State played yesterday…does anyone care?

Please…for sake of not burning anyones retinas, do not wear this hideous uniforms again Notre Dame. It’s not like they helped you at all.

Anyone else notice that Appalachian State lost again yesterday?

Michigan played well without their running back.

Houston Nutt’s Arkansas team beat the cajan hell out of Ole Miss, but he’s still in the hot seat.

Iowa is back to sucking at full force.

Texas A&M won the “Lame Duck Head Coach” bowl. Callahan is hopefully gathering boxes to pack his stuff in.

With Auburn and Tennessee both having 3 losses this year, will below be the scene this time next year?

So I profess on this day 10/22/07.

Tennessee Lost! But I & the rest of the SEC Still Get to Bash Bama!

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on October 21, 2007

Notice in my Bama bashing this week I never stated Tennessee would win. It’s no secret I want someone else as the Tennessee head coach, this should be the final nail in the coffin of Fulmer.

The defense was horrible and the offense, outside of Ainge & Foster, was deplorable. I mean it’s not as bad as getting beat by UCLA like Cal did ( ;) Abarclay) or losing at home to Vandy. It is ironic that a team that Fulmer has had so much success against would surely be the end, then again how this season is going I shouldn’t be surprised.

Why John Chavis would still be employed after today is beyond me. Our special teams are well see below:

Another 3 lose season and I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t go to bowl game this year. The coaching search has hopefully started.

Now on to bashing Bama some more. Apparently Alabama likes being on probation because even though the national liberal press didn’t bother mentioning the fact that Bama had to suspend five players before the Tennessee game, the truth still came out. My my my this should be good.

“The University of Alabama football program suspended five players who may have committed major violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules less than a year after its most recent probation and repeat-violator status had expired.

Saturday morning, the university announced that junior center Antoine Caldwell, sophomore running back Glen Coffee, junior guard Marlon Davis, sophomore defensive back Marquis Johnson, and sophomore defensive back Chris Rogers, had been suspended for a violation of institutional policy involving impermissible receipt of textbooks.

The move was considered pre-emptive, but school officials emphasized that the investigation is only in its infant stages. Although it could extend beyond the football team, as of now no other student-athletes have been officially implicated.

“This is a situation that developed late this week and we are actively investigating,” director of athletics Mal Moore said in a release to the media 30 minutes before the Crimson Tide kicked off against Tennessee.”

Funny I noticed at least two of those players dressed out on the sidelines….hmmm. Also notice how the reporter, obviously a Bama grad, misspelled “preemptive” typical.

“I wasn’t informed of this until last night,” football coach Nick Saban said after Alabama’s 41-17 victory against Tennessee at Bryant-Denny Stadium. “Obviously there were some players who did not use good judgment. I don’t know all the circumstances surrounding it. There’s also a system in place that shouldn’t allow this to happen, which didn’t work.

“It’s poor judgment on the players’ part, and you’ve heard me say this before, that can’t tolerate poor judgment and you need to what’s right. When you don’t do what’s right, most of the time there are serious consequences for it.”

When pressed on if the players would be allowed to practice, or for the length of the suspensions, Saban said, “I don’t know,” and then went on for a minute about how the suspensions were “not a problem.”

How serious Saban? Serious like all the other Bama players that were arrested and yet still played? Of course the suspensions are “not a problem” just like the assault, obstruction of justice & disorderly conduct charges against Fanney, the resisting arrest, giving a false name to the police and criminal mischief charges against Deaderick & the disorderly conduct charge against Upchurch were never problems either.

This could be a problem for Bama in the future once the investigation is completed. The fact that Bama just got off NCAA probation in February for repeat violations could loom large with these newest developments. Bahahaha I would love that. It would be typical. It could mean more scholarships taken away. Saban better dole out some serious punishment because once these violations are officially reported to the NCAA, their glaring eye will once again be cast upon Bama’s way. Of course this to will be Phil Fulmer’s fault just the last time right Bama’zoids?

This news isn’t what Saban needed to hear because in two weeks he faces this man:

So I profess on this day 10/21/07.
