  • What is this crap?

    "@govols247: You have to give credit to Jeff Driskel, though. He's been great at times. Birth of a star, perhaps."

    And who do you think you are?

    What part of that isn't true? Driskel looked a lot better than Bray tonight. He took control when his team was down and ran the offense. Bray folded when it mattered. End of story.

    Well, the truth hurts sometimes. Wouldnt want Wes to be any other way.

    Largely agree but there is a point at which this is all just entertainment.....being on a pay site to hear about how awesome another team's players are is not entertaining.

    It wasn't on a pay site. It was on twitter.

  • Wes isn't allowed to write the truth? Driskel was by far the better QB tonight.

    Let me be clear. I am not saying Wes did anything wrong...he is just doing his thing and what he said is clearly true.

    His twitter post ended up starting a thread on a site that he is employed by and we pay for....which was the basis of my comment. All I am saying is that it isn't entertaining.....nothing about any other team is to me. Just my opinion.

    Tennessee plays other teams. That being said, other teams are interesting to you when they play Tennessee. It wasn't like Wes was just shooting the bull about Driskel for fun. Get over yourself and go Vols.

  • There's gonna be a lot of things said during the next week that we're not gonna want to hear. And just about all of it will be the truth. The big question is, What path forward do the Vols take? There's 9 games left to play and they're gonna have to decide if they're going forward or backward. And we won't really find out the answer for a couple of weeks. I thought they handled a little adversity well early on but late in the game, I was embarrassed for them. Still, tomorrow when I wake up, I'll still be Orange, just a little bruised. GO VOLS!

    This site is entertaining. If it wasn't I would go somewhere else. Just bc they say something positive abt another player/team (on Twitter) shouldn't be criticized.

  • What's wrong with Wes bringing the opinions we pay him for we can't expect good news reporting if it's alway biased towards ut

    Driskel earned his stripes tonight. He was pressured (although not sacked in the first half), then helped break the game wide open in the 2nd half. That was also how he handled the A&M game last week, so this seems to be the norm for him.

  • If someone from another team makes plays to beat the team you cheer for, isn't that by default news about your team?

    Not trying to be rude. Just a question.

    Just keep doing what you do. As you've said many times before, you're honest if nothing else. We're just a little tender right now. Don't worry Wes, I'm still renewing.

    "Pass completed by Driskel for a Florida TD", that is news. Your opinion is not and even if it was I still wouldn't be happy hearing about how great Florida's QB is in the middle of the biggest game in 6 years while emotions are running high.
