Big Orange Roundtable Volume X Great another team from Alabama
Posted by Thomas the Terrible on September 10, 2008
Yes folks even though we’re still “not happy” about the UCLA game we are still moving forward with the Big Orange Roundtable because we care. This weeks edition is being hosted by Gate 21 however the asker of the questions is The View from the Hill who has moved operations over to Gate 21. Is everyone confused? Good! I hope he tells people whose turn it is to host for next week. (Hint Hint)
Ok let’s get to the roundtable for this week questions.
1. So we’re all still pissed off from losing to a UCLA team we would without a doubt beat at worst eight times out of 10, and now a pretty bad UAB team comes to Knoxville before the epic showdown with Florida and the rest of the SEC gauntlet – the deep breath before the plunge, if you will. What I simply want to know is what do YOU want to see from the Vols this Saturday?
The man seems to always read my mind…how did he know I was still pissed? He’s a sorcerer like Chris Angel!
I expect to see Crompton be more mobile this week. I expect to see the pocket moving instead of staying stagnant. With that little adjustment the pressure that was placed upon Crompton in the first game should be drastically reduced.
I expect to see Lincoln Logs attempt more field goals from the 40 yard line or below in order to see his confidence (and mine for that matter) restored.
I expect to see the passing lanes become tighter this week and to see the run defense dominate which it did in the first game.
I expect it see huge punt and kickoff returns from the Vols.
I also expect to see Hardesty starting in the place of “Fumbling Foster”.
Since the game is being aired on the Lincoln Financial network I expect to the see the three Daves which means I’ll mute the sound and listen to commentary on the Go Vols network.
Foster is a Philosophy major. He fumbles therefore he is.
2. Flashback to Saturday night in Gainesville: up 23-3, Florida gets a good punt return by Brandon James inside the Miami 20. With 1:56 left, Urban Meyer sends Tim Tebow back in, and, after a screen pass, a throw into the endzone, and a lost-yardage run, Florida kicks a sand-in-the-face field goal with :25 left, prompting a death stare from Cane coach Randy Shannon and eventually a “handshake” at midfield after the game. Thoughts?

Yeah Meyer is an asshole. I’m sorry but it’s true. I would be saying the same thing if Fulmer did that. It makes no sense to keep the starters in at the time. It would be one thing if Meyer had the third string out there and they scored a TD after all he can’t tell his players not to try their best, but the first sting? You’ve got to be kidding me.
3. And finally, a question that I’m not sure has been so directly asked in the course of the Roundtable, but one that needs answering: the “woo” in Rocky Top…do you “woo” and why do/don’t you “woo”?
I’m not a woo’er. I find it annoying and little to redneckish. Plus I believe the man alive that is allowed to “woo” is Ric Flair.
As always be more like me and check all the members of the Big Orange Roundtable to see what their answers are. The links are below.
