in reality, if we can get Bell and Lawson and Ford, this disappointment will be a distant memory..

Very true! Big IF, but I like the way you're thinkin'.

personally I am sick of this it is so crappy to be a vols fan lately! Football team has sucked for 5 years, and now we fired coach pearl and got mr. no name cuonzo who obviously couldnt coach or recruit his way out of a paper bag seeing as how this basketball team is one of the most boring to watch in recent memory! reminds me of the kevin oniel days that stupid boring big ten grind it out hold the other team to 42 but we only score 36 its awful! Bring pearl back! Im so sick of being the bridesmaid in everything including recruiting! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm, ok. Moving on....

Go cheer for a different team then, or suck it up be a true fan and cheer no matter what!!! Go Vols

everyone get off my back!down vote me all you want it does not bother me! i never said anything about not cheering for the vols! I cheer for them week in and week out regardless if they win or lose, but i will not tip toe around the truth and be content with mediocrity ever! I bleed orange! GBO VFL! I am just sick and tired of sucking at everything, and in my opinion if this sub par 5 year span where everything has went to hell doesnt piss you off then you are part of the problem. Im sick of complacent university officials and yes complacent content fans. I wish i could return to the 90's when people across the bored actually cared! I will pull for the Vols whole heartedly even if they go 0-10 , but I will let my frustrations with the program be heard! I buy season tickets i travel to see away games i invest a lot of time and money into the program so in my opinion they are dropping the ball on the fans not the other way around! just a freaking 8-4 respectible season would be freakin nice!

Hopefully Bell got pumped up at the bball game and hearing the fans chant his name.. would be a huge momentum starter if somehow we could get him to commit right after his visit..been a while since we have gotten a commitment..seems like we could use some buzz and momentum..Bell could do that for us..

I did down vote you. I don't care to tell you. I'm frustrated as anyone else and I'm tired of some of the stupid stuff some of our pessimistic fans say about ut. This pessimism does nothing for ut. If you wanna mope around and bitch all day about how ut sucks now go for it. I just don't wanna hear it on here!

Yeah, that was great. I was watching the game on TV and had to rewind to make sure that is what they were chanting.

my son was at the game about 15 rows away from CBJ and Bell and he told me the chant was pretty loud and noticeable where he was... Im sure Bell is used to the attention by now, but still, had to make him feel pretty good..

i agree that ford might just fit CBJ system a little better, however i am getting very frustrated that we cant even land one 5 star anymore its getting rediculous... we uss to land several every class. i know its not CBJ fault we are in that position though , and this recruiting class is not over! btw i love that pic of tom hanks lol classic... im afraid he would be sadly dissapointed though if he returned to see us 5-7 and not even ranked

This is what happens when you fire a HOF Coach, with no plan, and then make two bad hires. CBJ was the right hire. However, it will not happen overnight.

could not agree more man! I was never for the firing of Fulmer... I do believe from what i have already seen out of CBJ that he is a very good hire though! Im just extremely frustrated right now with how far this program has fallen, and im sorry if i angered anyone with my negative comments , but i mean hell wake up people we can not continue to be satisfied with this $hit we have been puting on the field i dont care who's fault it is! with that said i am VFL GBO!
