Let the crying commence Vols fans

[ut1]

For the love of god, kiffin did shake beamer hand he just didn't sit and exchange recipe's. I recorded it and went back and watched it because a VT buddy of mine made a big deal out of it. He watched it with me and said oh, guess he did. He got his ass handed to him on a platter and was outcoached in that game, he isn't gonna stick around exchange phone numbers with the guy. It was quick and he was out. Simple as that.

My wife thought the same thing, that Kiffen had brushed Beamer off, but as you, I recorded the game. Anyone want a copy?

I didn't get what I wanted, of course, which was a down-to-the-wire contest. IF UT had scored on that sure touchdown pass, I think momentum would have shifted as in the second quarter and the game would have been very tight.

UT lost three games this year by under five points each. They could have as easily been 10-2 coming in, so I don't think anyone can say they were not a good team this year. Let's face it, VT wanted it more, and played like it. I was afraid the old Crompton might resurface, but I don't think he did. IF that one TD had happened, and IF his line had given him a little more protection, the game would have turned out to be the barnburner I was hoping for, and Crompton would have received credit instead of blame.

I look forward to next year, as both teams are loaded with young players.

You're right, he did shake his hand and I stand corrected. I found a replay and watched. I guess he wanted to hurry off the field after having Stinespring hand his daddy his A$$. And I suppose Foster spanked Lanes pretty good. 31 rushes for 5 net yards.

Nice post.

I've heard the UT fans play the strength of schedule card all season and many of them are now using the excuse that they were 7-5 and didn't deserve to be there.

VT did give UT a few opportunities to turn it into a barnburner.

Jesus christ, all this over beating a 7-5, 3rd place in the East, unranked UT team that was absolutely depleted by injuries?

Congrats VT, you beat a team that finished 6th in the SEC! CONGRATS GUYS OMFG WHAT A GREAT WIN

I would think a ranked team with 9 (now 10) wins would not care that much about beating a mediocre 7-6 team, boy was I wrong.

and I am FAR from a UT fan, I hate UT, but for ****'s sake, VT fans act like this is winning the BCS title and the Super Bowl all wrapped in one.

I'm sorry that Tech is not a member of the mighty SEC which is ready to enter the NFL along w/ the AFC and NFC as the SECC . Sorry that a 10 win season is unacceptable . Sorry that Tennessee can't field 22 players due to injuries . Tech was missing it's best secondary player cause he can't pass tests ; ) . Sorry for being an alum of VPI and wanting to enjoy their successes . Sorry the Chick-Filet Bowl is not a BCS bowl . Sorry that only Bama fans can celebrate a win . Sorry that a win in a rivalry game is no cause to be happy . Yes it is an unusual rivalry in that the teams seldom play but split part of a fanbase geographically . Sorry that Tech has not made that final leap to national prominence w/ a national championship . Sorry that Weaver has only recently started getting bigger names on the schedule which has to happen before that final step can be attained . Sorry that you haters hate . Sorry you haters cannot see the huge grin on my face . Later .

That he did, ass whooping came down, I don't deny that and won't start now. The better team won, don't think anybody has said otherwise.

As for your signature quote, Dorian is good friends with and went to high school with my cousin in Georgia. I think they talk quite regularly.

Again, Congrats VT fans you own the bragging rights now and hopefully we will meet again in the near future. Bet there are a lot of VT fans this morning with pounding headaches

Both teams have been saying "in your face" for several years

LOL what is this a poorly written 1980's basketball movie now? I'm still a Vols fan. Hopefully they will get another shot. That freshman for tech is a stud

yeah, Porch is one I'm gonna miss. Seems like a good, level headed kid. And I'm also going to miss watching Eric Berry at UT. Kid is a plain stud. Now that I've thrown a couple of jabs I'm going to say that UT does have a pretty good team. They have a lot injured and we Hokies know how that can hurt ala the Chick bowl vs UGA a couple years back where we were already without a couple of OL and then lost another during the game. It's hard to overcome. IMO UT's season turned around after the Auburn game when Kiffin let warren go. He must have been a real cancer.

It's gonna take a couple of years to get the talent level back up. We lose A LOT of good seniors with this class but overall talent is the lowest it has been in a while on the "full" roster. Losing 15-20 kids to work ethic, etc, doesn't help with the limit on kids you can bring in now in the SEC. I can't remember the exact numbers but you can't bring in more than 28 maybe with a couple you can back count for EE but not exact on those numbers.

We will lose 4 of the 5 starting lineman........... a QB who in the 2nd half of the season was great......... a good hard nosed RB in Hardesty.......... a couple of **** good down lineman......... the 5th leading tackler at LB in UT history in McCoy......... and a two time All-American and one of the top 5 player in the University's history in EB.

So A LOT of young kids will be thrown to the fire next season and I truly don't expect to have that good of a season next year. It would be a major accomplishment to make a bowl next season or come close to a 7-5 type season.

I am usually a pretty optimistic person but you can't lose that type of leadership and seniority and expect to compete for a SEC title, but that's JMO.

I do enjoy watching R. Williams run the ball and he should be an All-American next season. Also Bud Foster called one heckuva game yesterday, he dialed in the right blitzes at the right time in the right location.

I think Tech will have a hard time splitting carrires between 4 good backs .
