Sports hijack from James Wallace thread

And thank God Clausen went home. He was horrible. Both of them were. Their younger brother passed on UT and the sigh of relief could be heard around the world. The cancer of the Clausen era is over finally. Now it's time to get back to a credible qb situation and no more prima donnas

Honest question: Do you think Cutcliffe is a good QB coach who can take any fair to good player and make him something special? Or, do you think that he hit the jackpot with the two Mannings and is otherwise an average coordinator? Cutty is an old 'Bama man, so I give him props where a lot of people in crimson won't --- UA is like Hotel California, you can check out but you can never really leave (almost). But, I still wonder on just how good he is. If he can take this UT team, as bruised and battered after last year as it was, and turn it around to what UT achieved in the last decade or more, Fulmer deserves coach of the year honors and he ought to decline it for Cutcliffe's sake.

I think Cutcliffe is a great coach. He brings a lot of discipline that the team needs. Fulmer is a personable one on one person. He needs a person that can help him bring discipline. That has always been Cutcliffe's role with Fulmer. It has shown over the last several years that without him, the lose focus easily.

As far as Casey, that was the problem. He was a good qb, but it was all about him. A lot of the players that played with him came out and said he disturbed the teams operations because he was such a primadonna. Rick was a decent qb, more humble than his brother, but not a good starting qb.

Peytons records may be broken at times but he was the best QB in UT history (and most likey for some time to come)The only reason they won with TEE was because the schedule was set for them to run the table, ( most tough games at Kville) New BCS formula, Most thought that UT would play for third up unitl the last few weeks, then they picked FSU to win because they had a "tougher"schedule.

Casey was a Joke, he had recievers and backs but could not get it too them, He didn't have the respect of his team. Casey thought he was still the star on his High school team and when ever there was a problems instead of having respect for his team and their abilites he tried to do it all on his own. AND he could not do it. I think that he might have been there to Help Phil shot with his little Brother.

I do know that Louisville Got the QB that UT really wanted and that UT /sanders placed all thier hopes on... It was Down to UT, Louisville and ND. UT felt that ND was still on the down slide and that they could out recruit UofL but they lost their #1 Back hopes the year before to Louisville and they thought they had Brohm NO PROBLEM... well they were shocked when he Picked Louisville.

I think DC is much better sanders. I think it is so funny that sanders left a top program to go to a program almost at the very bottom of college football, a place where MOST people think the whole staff will be replaced at the end of the season... IF NOT SOONER..

WE have a good time here. We have lots of different picks in the college ball. We have Georgia fans , one UT fan, Vandy fans, NO GATOR FANS!

That's because there ARE NO GATOR FANS!

BTW, Dr. Ron, what part of FL are you from? I'm in the panhandle, been here a year, and still looking for a church.

[Dr. Ron]

Eva,
I am not from Fla. I am from Nashville. Vandy is in Nashville.

As to your dilima in churches...........Good luck. I don't know of anything in your area. Now, should you come up this way I can give you some serious input!

Sorry Dr. Ron, the state flag on your location section next to your posts is a FL flag, that's how I got mixed up.
We actually tried very hard to move to TN, for over a year actually, but just as we would think Carl had a good job lined up it would fall through. When we started looking down here things just fell into place.
