1) Thus far we’ve made a number of predictions for the 2008 Vols. Now, let’s take the next step: What are your pre-season predictions for each of Tennessee’s regular season games this year (along with any explanations you feel are needed)?
Double click to see the Gospel:
I fervently pray that Bama runs the table in the West so that my beloved Vols beat them twice in one year at the SECCG, so we can hit them with the fury of a hot gusty release of ass queef. Then we can make tOSU 0-10 against the SEC with another BCS NC win.
2) Gameday routines, we all have them. What are your gameday rituals, especially those that are completely irrational, grounded in baseless superstition, or otherwise defy explanation?
I live deep in the heart of Dixie, where the temps range upwards in 80s during the fall. I typically like to mow my lawn on College Football Saturdays but I do it a bit differently. As I mow, weedeat and edge, I wear a full Tennessee Football Uniform (home or away Jersey depending on the schedule), replete with a helmet (with a ‘T’), shoulder pads, receiver gloves black cleats and a tinted Oakley face shield. Bonus: I only wear UT approved Adidas apparel. This way I can become one with the current players and the Ghosts of Tennessee past that have had a hand in the rise of the mighty Vols to gridiron glory. I hope that the my “ritual” keeps the General Neyland Bank open, so Fulmer can cash-in his Tennessee- Glory-Card, if required.
3) Crompton vs. Tebow? Discuss…
(From Amos Moses) Fiddlesticks!!!
Hell Yes, strait outta Crompton
Now Jon Crompton thought he was a Pigskin skolar
He lived by himself on the Ridge. He hunted alligator for a living and tebow gave him the heebie-jeebies
He’d just knock them Gates in the head with a stump
The Mountain Damn Values gonna get you, Tebow
It ain’t legal hunting geigh alligator down in the swamp, boy.
Now everyone blamed his old man For making JC mean as a snake
When Jon Crompton was a red shirt freshman Fulmer would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp Hillbilly Alligator hunter-killer in Appalacia, sike-a-delick bitches.
About forty-five minutes south of Waynesville, Lived a man called David Crompton and his wife Diana.
They raised up a son who could eat his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Jon Crompton
Now the folks around southeast Tennessee Said Crompton was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest geighest alligator, and rang his dang neck
And he’d just use one hand (just like he was web camming)
He had been out choppin baccer n hangin it up in the barn to dry
He wuz feelin lack a big man, proud that thay wuz two women jes a’hopin fer sex with him
That dang Gator’s back on the front porch agin’, rattlin’ around and tryin’ to eat up the cat food.
If that critter wasn’t so pitiful lookin’ he’d get out Daddy’s 16 guage and blow his scaley hiney to kingdom come, but you can’t help feelin’ sorry fer anythang that’s as beady eyed and ugly as a skeered possom layin’ there playin’ like he’s dead.
I know son, Make it count son
About forty-five minutes south of Waynesboro…
4) Will the Vols manage to make it to the SEC Championship Game again this season – either outright, or through the backdoor? Why or why not?
(From Ricky Bobby) The Vols in the Championship again, It’s because it’s what we love. It is who we were born to be. And here you sit, thinking. Well, Tennessee Football is not for thinkers. We are players and hitters. We are the doers. And that’s what we need to do. We don’t need to think. We need to win. We need speed. We need to go out there, and you need to run like hell. We need to fire it up. We need to grab a hold of that line between speed and chaos, and we need to wrestle it to the ground like a demon cobra! And then, when the fear rises up in our belly, we use it. And you know that fear is powerful, because it has been there for billions of years. And it is good. And we use it. And we ride it; we ride it like a skeleton horse through the gates of hell, and then we win, Douches. We WIN! And we don’t win for anybody else. We win for the Vols, you know why? Because a Vol takes what he wants. He takes it all. We gonna remind Bama that we intend on making a ‘deposit’ in their cheating dirty whore mouths and the Gates, we gonna beat your ass Gates, you are gonna be our Bitch.
If Tennessee played in the NFC, I think that the Cowboys might have some issues with our Clawfence. Sure they would eventually win, but only because they were able to shutdown Arian Foster and force us to throw every play.
UGA is as soft as a velvet fleshlight
UGA is in Florida’s head
South Carolina is still the king of moral victories
Kentucky and Vandy are still Kentucky and Vandy
We are going to kick some Thug Ninja Ass every weekend. Vols Bitch
5) Of all the coaches in the SEC who do you currently consider to be the best? Why?
Being the best coach in the Southeastern Conference is a lonely task. Vol Fans? Stand up and demand respect for the greatest coach to ever blow a whistle: Phil Fulmer. Phillip Fulmer is a smart man. Phil Fulmer did not become Phillip Fulmer by being one to overlook possible touchdowns. He is paid not to miss this; and now he has an offensive staff that will tell him—since he has to be more involved than he was, because he does not know these guys as well as he knew Coach Cut—
that Jon Crompton has an arm that Peyton Manning wishes he had; that Crompton’s swagger is because he knows that he is going to rewrite Tennessee and the SEC’s record books…which everybody knows that SEC records are more relevant than breaking the NCAA passing record held by some skinny system QB out of Houston, Texas Tech or Hawaii.
By the time that Crompton throws his 2nd Touchdown Pass at UCLA… Erik Ainge’s name will not ever cross anybody’s mind. And so the long and painful healing process of powerful young Crompton’s clipboard carrrying days will begin as the raucous and spoiled Neyland crowds surge forth.
Not slamming him, but he is in year three at UT, and involved in three picks in one spring practice. Duh…he was just fucking around. lulling the gates and the roids into complacency. I believe that it is a careful intricate plot devised by someone that possesses an exceptional natural football intellect. A football acumen is so complex, so complex that it will be impossible to psycho-analyze Fulmer’s simple genius.
and Crompton was brought here by the best QB coach ever to be in the SEC—even better than Steve Spurrier—
and allowed to languish, so far. But now the SEC will pay and pay in spades……
Fulmer’s masterful play calling, rock hard discipline policy, on the field demeanor, and grasp of the english language during press conferences, etc have endeared us all to the genius that is Phil Fulmer

I hope your prayer comes true little fella…..its been my prayer for a long time to get the Viles on a 2fer…unfortunatley not this year!
Realistically your 3rd or 4th best in the East…..you lose to uga, urban, and The visor….
@2 Ass Queef, I can maybe see UGA, maybe. Visor is not the same coach at scar, both of us know it. Herban??? I like Bama’s daddy’s chances in Knoxville
OK, crybaby….i will say that you could take the visor but its a big IF.
Your qb situation is shaky with a new OC and no pt….After last year’s OT i think darth visor will have a better qb!
Smelley? I doubt it. SCAR has more players incarcerated than Bammer
Gators are trouble but that’s a very close Vol win. Tuberfield beats you, GA will be waiting and that’s a Vol loss. Bama loses at Knoxville. $aban is a couple of years away if he stays there. Some idiot NFL owner will offer him a zillion and the Tide Rollers will be looking for the reincarnation of the Bear again.
All bets are off if Fulmer can’t maintain consistency. Losing 100-37 to Alabama and Florida reveals a head coach who was asleep along with the players. If he goes into a coma again, any SEC team on the schedule can beat the Vols.
Tuberfield consistently does more with less than any SEC coach. Hands down the best. Put Miles second because he has bigger balls than any of them and Fulmer third.
Trade Deadline, Body Odor, Vols & Manny…
Some afternoon linkage I think you’ll enjoy.
MLB Make Believe Trade Deadline (Epic Carnival)
Man Ejected From Casino For Body Odor (Hugging Harold Reynolds)
Dave Hart New AD at Bama (The Tide Druid)
Resistance is Futile (Fulmer’s Belly)

I like WingNut, he is Bama’s step-dad
UT goes 10-3
UCLA – W
UAB – W
UF – L
AU – L
NIU – W
UGA – L
MSU – W
Bama Cheats – W
USC – W
WYO – W
Vandy – W
K-Y – W
Outback Bowl (Zookers) – W
@5 Not Smelley…Visor said he’s going w/ Beecher and daddy’s calling the plays….not Stevie Jr
@9….brutha Jim Bob you need to layoff the corn liquor….10-3??
Lets call it what it really is…more like 7-5
10-3 is probably releastic. Shreveport for the cheaters
Tennesse will lose to a team from Alabama. Hopefully not UAB and definately not Bama (Aight?).
If Knowshon gets hurt/incarcerated, Tennessee could take UGA (again).
Timmy and the Fightin’ Foreskins will hang 50,000,000 on the Vols at Swampy Top.
Possible upsets: Everyone has to get Croomed at least once and SOS on the road is a (slight) possibility.

sounds eerily like some country roads poster spouting off about Pat White.
take it back, motherfucker
For a site that routinely tests the boundaries of delusional, fanatical and irrational submissions, this round table has set the bar at a height thought previously unobtainable. Kudos to you Jai.
I felt light-headed when I wrote this….like I had an std that had control of my senses
The Ol’ Ball Coach may not be the same coach as he was at UF. But he has already beaten UT in Knoxville (on Peyton’s jersey retirement night – awesome), played ‘em tough in Columbia, and then the Vols needed a fumble (prayer) to bounce their way last year to win in OT. If both teams stay healthy, that game will be closer than expected.
As a Gator, it pains me to say this, but the game in Knoxville is a toss-up at this point. The Gators are more talented, but with a young defense’s first game on the road, it scares me a little. Plus, Crompton is going to be a good QB.
I say UGA finishes the regular season w/ 3 SEC losses. Toughest schedule in the country.
@21—as long as one of those losses is in Baton Rouge….
Knowshon is no Kevin Faulk; however, Knowshon may be the second coming of Cecil the Diesel Collins

10-3 is a little aggressive for this team. 9-5 is more like it. Treating UCLA out there as a gimme is fragile and Fulmer can’t nod away preparing for any game. There definitely could be a couple of slip ups but what’s wrong with 9-5 for a team of questionable quality?

you may want to adjust the result of that Oct 25th game.
Bama 44, Vawls 10
oh and get ready to be hearing “Wilson to Julio… Touchdown Crimson Tide” alot from Eli Gold during that game…. Roll
27-No Wilson to Julio this October 25. $aban and you Bammeroids go home draped in Smokey shit.
