Around SBN: Tim Wakefield Retires

VOLS LOSE TO LSU, FnDC

Saturday, things went badly for the Vols. First, they angered Jamarcus Russell, the black Lorenzen, by forcing him to win a game at the wire rather than running away. No problem--he did that anyway, sending the Neyland crowd into the furious trademark silence that accompanies any game that's in doubt in the last quarter.

Fulmer undoubtedly cited their lack of fundamentals in the postgame speech. Tennessee players responded by going back to the classics: a three-player arrest for FnDC. (Fightin' n Da Club, for those uninitiated in the lingo of the Fulmer Cup.)

If there has ever been a sign that Tennessee is back...well, this is it. That and an appearance in their favorite bowl, of course.


It's all about fundamentals: fat jokes, Citrus Bowl jokes, and FnDC.

A few tweaks, and it sounds just like Tennessee’s sister school in Northern Havana….only with a worse record.

It should come as no surprise that the prestige of the Fulmer Cup would lead to cheating by getting an early start.

Hey, we’ve got to take our accolades where we can get them…and considering our backup freshman QB played for 3+ quarters, it could have been so, so much worse.

At least there was no automatic weaponry involved….and by the way, am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that a black guy is named Arian??

Anyone? Bueller?

“sending the Neyland crowd into the furious trademark silence that accompanies any game that’s in doubt in the last quarter”

Huh? It sounded pretty loud there on my set, at least until the final TD play. Anyway, LSU should be ashamed of itself. Had they held onto the ball or displayed any discipline at all, they would have routed Tennessee by 21 or more. It will be interesting to see what Les Miles does when Saban’s recruits are all gone.

Don’t put Tennessee into the top Florida bowl slot just yet, headlines today indicate that Dick will rise up for the Vols this weekend.

Having just returned from the game down in Miami I can attest to the the utter crapitude that is watching a game in the “OB.” It was like watching a minor league baseball game in terms of atmosphere.

The band is mic’d up and plays over the PA.

The announcer is third tier circus awful.

And the neighborhood… Viva la Glock!

Everyone says Les is winning with Saban’s recruits, and while significant playing time is being logged by Saban’s guys, the truth is it’s called playing upper classmen since LSU has one of the few experienced quarterbacks in the SEC.

Keep in mind Alley Broussard and Justin Vincent are also Saban’s recruits, and last I checked they are slowly but surely being phased out for freshmen Keiland Wiliams, Trindon Holliday, and Charles Scott, all Les recruits.

In addition, more true freshman have seen the field than ANY Saban-coached team since 2000, even if it is on special teams. A starting linebacker (Derry Beckwith) and Tackle (Ciron Black) are Lss recruits, with more to play next year with no noticeable dropoff in talent or ability.

I think Miles has his faults as a coach, but the stigma of winning with another’s recruits is getting old and less true by the game.

as Spurrier would say,

“You can’t spell Citrus without UT”

Is it me or does Tennessee lose at home an awful lot? It’s me, right?

by Nupe in Va on Nov 6, 2006 4:39 PM EST reply actions  

Don’t care.

Three days till Louisville goes to Rutgers.

Five days till Spurrier returns to Gainesville.

This team has yet to play to it’s potential and we have a shot at a national title.

I’m drunk right now.

Was Jim Bob Cooter involved in the Satiddy-night fracas?

well the announcers paid their usual homage to cooter as having the best name in college footballwith emphasis on his last name(perhaps not knowing what ‘cooter’ really means in urban society) and gave him a couple of camera flashes. they then said he was 4th string. wtf.

Calling Russell the black Lorenzen is like calling Tim Tebow the Grand Puba. Lorenzen was a freak that looked like loaves of bread were rising in his shoes.

by Dennis on Nov 6, 2006 5:31 PM EST reply actions  

So will the headlines for this weekend read something like this?:

Cocks breathe new life into Dick; Fulmer in search of Volunteer to head off Pigs’ hot Dick, yet Cooter is last option in Tennessee.

That pic is absolutley oUTstanding. For my money (and laughs), right up there with the Fantastic Sam’s line about Meyer’s hair.

  1. I couldn’t agree with you more. I was explaining the same thing to some friends one day while watching the UT/BAMA game (Their initial response was- “Arian, I don’t get it”, and one of them (albeit jokingly) labeled me an Anti-Semite- I happened to be sitting next to a Jewish person.

Speaking of which- Borat is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time.

by MiseanAUFan on Nov 6, 2006 7:40 PM EST reply actions  

So, MiseanAUFan, which gun would Dee Webb use to kill a Jew?

by Rusty on Nov 6, 2006 8:38 PM EST reply actions  

That is a question more loaded than than Marcus Thomas at the time of his being pulled over.

My bad, Rusty, I missed out on the reference at first.

by MiseanAUFan on Nov 7, 2006 6:50 AM EST reply actions  

I’m with you, #19….You all think it’d be a good idea to start an “Arian Nation” fan club??

That idea can’t lose.

I like the way Fulmer laid down the law. What did he suspend them based on how important they were to the team?

Foster lets see starting running back so you are out a half. We might need depth at fb if somebody gets hurt so Holbert is out 1 game, and its not like I’m playing that stupid freshman anymore this year so I’ll just suspend him for 2 games and we’ll say it was his fault. Its not like anyone will wonder why two upper classmen running backs couldn’t hold back a freshman DB and keep him out of a fight if they wanted to.

What did he suspend them based on how important they were to the team?

No, word on the street here in Knoxville is that Wardlow and Holbert got into a scuffle over some stupid shit (initiated by Wardlow, presumably) and that Foster jumped in to help break up a fight amongst the teammates.

Fulmer may have given one of the best quotes of all time: "Their behavior is an example we certainly remind them about, when immature male ego mixes with alcohol and stupidity.

We may fight amongst ourselves, but at least we don’t get stabbed by our girlfriends.

by Aerobab on Nov 7, 2006 9:50 AM EST reply actions  

At least the suspensions are actually taking place in the next game instead of randomly assigned to the easier games ala Urban Meyer!!!
