The Cromptonite Nation begins to stir

2007 August 28
by Jai Eugene

Just like last year when Erik Ainge “hurt” his knee [Xmas comes early for the zealots], now there is another issue. The Big Orange Nation is going to a DEFCON 5 Full Meltdown. Vegas betting odds are shifting…

Jon Crompton saddle up your linebacker trapped in a QB’s body, the spirit of Dan Kendra will lead us to victory!!! Cal ain’t LSU my courageous ruff tuff mountain boy!!!

Well in hopes of channeling the General Neyland, I am going to funnel a bottle of George Dickel later today. I seem to hear someone ’s voice in the back of my mind, but unless the General is telling me to “turn that damn tv down”, I think it’s just my wife. I still think that Fulmer wins at Cal.

GBO!!!

KNOXVILLE — Tennessee senior quarterback Erik Ainge jammed the pinky on his throwing hand and might miss some practice this week, Vols coach Philip Fulmer said minutes ago.

Fulmer said he hopes Ainge will be healthy enough to start Saturday’s game at No. 12 Scary California, and he would check with trainers this afternoon to see if Ainge can practice today.

    Remember what I said about toughness and Woodson being the better QB than Ainge because of Andre’s superior grit while Ainge bitches out…

    I just said it again…

    It’s Fulmer’s fault. In all this time “The Great Recruiter” couldn’t find a decent QB to back up Ainge??? Who the hell sits out a game because of a jammed pinky??? So what it’s on his throwing hand. If you’re gonna channel the general, then give the RB’s 40 carries combined, throw 5 passes to keep Cal’s defense “on it’s toes” and have Chavis call a hell of a defensive scheme. Would LSU or Florida sweat the fact of their starting QB being hurt??? No, because of recruiting. They have blue chip backups waiting to be called, not Jon Crompton.

    I’m having a bad day and this doesn’t make it any better. It’s a matter of pride, and there’s no way an SEC team (even Vandy) should be losing to a tree hugging, hybrid car driving, blunt inhaling, pagan ass Cal team coached by sucky ass overhyped Jeff Tedford, and the WR’s that Lou Holtz said were faster than any he’s ever coached or seen. What the fuck ever. This cannot be happening…

    To make matters worse, I can’t even channel Neyland because here in TX, I haven’t been able to find George Dickel. So I got a bottle of Ol No. 7 and a fifth of Jose Cuervo. Hopefully that’ll do the trick. God, if this season goes in the toilet, fire Fat Phil and bring us Terry Bowden the next day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW, Good Ol Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee…

    “t’s Fulmer’s fault. In all this time “The Great Recruiter” couldn’t find a decent QB to back up Ainge???”

    I agree Joel I mean look at this story? That money could have purchased a lot of gifts to give to recruits, like the Florida ones, who were “just joking”.

    I am sporting some tall timber today! Talk about getting a woody!

    Jon, opportunity knocks. Show all of these homophobes just what kind of man you are. You are the greatest quarterback to ever wear the orange and white. Go out and fight the courageous fight. Prove to these homophobes that they should be rooting for you.

    Hey Mama! Do you have any more stick pins to put in that doll?

    Since I’m a Gator, I don’t know the history behind why some UT fans don’t like Crompton. Fill me in.

    There is nothing wrong with JC. He reads this blog BTW, think overzealous fans that want a mountain boy instead of a west coast kid as QB.

    “Would LSU or Florida sweat the fact of their starting QB being hurt??? No, because of recruiting. They have blue chip backups waiting to be called, not Jon Crompton.”

    If Florida loses Tebow, they are A-1, top-notch, over-the-top screwed. In all their great years of recruiting, they have nobody to back him up.

    “If Florida loses Tebow, they are A-1, top-notch, over-the-top screwed. In all their great years of recruiting, they have nobody to back him up.”

    Are you kidding me? Cam Newton is Tim Tebow “Lite” and we have John Brantley and Bryan Waggener. Granted, none of them are on the same level as Tebow. But with all the weapons on offense, if one of them had to play they wouldn’t be asked to do too much.

    Come on folks! Lets talk about whats really important…..the bands!

    If Tommy Tuba goes down, it means that the band will be without a great talent and the xylophone player might get a tad too excited.

    Get with it people!

    This just in – Crompton is actually pretty good. I am not a “Cromptonite,” but I thought I would share that information with others, just in case they had a different understanding.

    Crompton is UT’s answer to Tim “890 SAT” Tebow.

    I’m hoping if Crompton starts he can regale us with another 11 of 24 performance like LSU last year. Makes me salivate.
