The CheckerBoard

I, like all of you, am mad. Today's loss was inexcusable, and it will (finally) cost Derek Dooley his job. He's done a great job of building up the roster, but a piss poor job of game management. I think when he looks bad and wonders what went wrong, he'll realize he was too analytical. He over thought everything. Sometimes you just have to act on instinct. You can't stand there with a 40 second play clock running and try to run every what-if scenario in your mind.But don't give up on the Vols, hate Dooley or not, there are still 85 young men on that team who break their bones, tear their ligaments, strain their muscles, and shed their tears for us. We owe it to them to stand behind them.

Tnbear, I am.100% with you. We have many fans taking joy in this. There is no joy. There is only sadness, instability and the guarantee of protracted mediocrity. I too am taking a break. I am dropping my membership at TOS and evaluating things. Life is too short to surround yourself with "nattering nabobs of negativity". Those of you who are too young to remember that quote are also too young to know how long this process will take. After this weekend, it will take much longer. With this fan base I am not convinced it will ever happen.
