His smokescreens don't really mask what is now being seen like a brat who doesn't get his way and throws tantrums. Tennessee would probably be much better off with the MUCH more mature Monte. Maybe the big 'ol guy they fired is looking a little better now? I think that some Gator fans' rantings should be taken with a grain of salt (except by those on low sodium diets.) Gator fans did get spoiled with the high scoring teams of the past. Like you said a win is a win and everything can be fixed. I love the heart that the Gators show, that deserves our respect. Trying too hard can have negative results. Play loose, for fun, and will specific concentration on your "job"and winning will continue. I wonder when Tennessee fans will tire of Lane Kiffin’s antics.

When was the last time a player came back for his senior season to accomplish something that it didn't end in tragedy? You've had a tough schedule. And, this team is not as good as last year's. Repeating is another thing that is pretty elusive, all apologies to the basketball team (you see what has happened to them.) Going undefeated is harder than ever. Pressure? There is no greater pressure than unrealistic expectations. And, after all of that, you get Bama, and then, if you are very lucky, BCS No. 2? He had better be one of the greatest players off all time on one of the best teams. That is a pretty tall order. "Are our expectations just a tiny bit too high."

Is Mullen whining? Is Spurrier whining when talking about Tiffin marking his spot with tape for a fg? If we disagree with their point, it is whining. If we agree, it is telling the truth. I personally agree with all the head coaches comments but do not buy the UF and UA conspiracy either. Some times, the breaks and calls go your way and sometimes not. Here is hoping for a UF and UA showdown in Atlanta. whining is in the eye of the beholder. Is Mullen whining? Is Spurrier whining when talking about Tiffin marking his spot with tape for a fg?

I was listening to part of the Tennessee feed on satillite radio and the announcers were saying the kicker had a bad hip and didn't look good in warm ups. Then during the game he misses one FG attempt and had a 2nd attempt blocked earlier. Why not try your #2 FG kicker out? Maybe he didn't want the officials to throw a phantom flag on his back up kicker.....lol. The thing that amazed me in the Alabama/Tennessee game was there was no back up kicker for Tennessee.

I agreed when they jumped Ala over FL last week because Ala played better. I also agreed when the jumped Fl back over Ala BECAUSE Ala barely beat a team that Fl beat handily. they are comparing apples to apples. The week before Fl didnt play as well as Ala did against Ark. If you look at their common opponents so far Fl has done a better job overall than Ala. Fl kept Ky to a lower score than Ala and put up more points on Ky than Ala. I used to hate both polls because once a team settled at a spot they didnt lose their place no matter how poorly they played. The coaches still do that nonsense but the AP for the last couple years has had some sense to their ranking, moving teams up and down also based on their level of play! you dont get it! the AP has got it right and theyre the only really realistic poll.

I like how Kiffin continues to state how undermanned he is. What did Spurrier do in the same situation? I'm just tired of it, he needs to man p and admit he has SEC caliber talent. His Daddy sure knows how to use it, why can't he? Good point on the state of the Vols next season. I like how Kiffin continues to state how undermanned he is.
