The news ain't all good outa Old Rocky Top here lately. GoVolsXtra.com, The Knoxville News-Sentinel's top notch UT sports site, has reported troubling signs from our football team's spring practice sessions:
@ QBs basically suck. Of course we knew that already.
@ Receivers are struggling. "Other than quarterback, receiver may be UT's most pressing concern this fall. Junior Gerald Jones is a proven commodity but otherwise inconsistency reigns."
@ Worst of all -- and this is my observation -- I fear that the hosebag offensive coordinator who helped get Phil Fulmer fired last year (who shall henceforth remain nameless on the BOVB) may have left his crummy residue all over our beloved football program.
When said hosebag was hired, he warned fans that his offense would take at least two years to take effect. He was wrong. It took effect immediately and resulted in the 5-7 2008 record. But what if it is a scheme that really will be around another year? Could he have messed with our players' heads that badly? Seems possible. Yikes.
So I reckon that, for the time being, we'll have to look to other sources for the Orange lining to those dark clouds.
One is the Lady Vols tennis team, which is rockin. GO VOLS!
Another is this sweet Hummer. I spotted it at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville April 11. It's clearly not Tennessee Orange but it's sure as heck more fun to look at than UT's 2008 offense.
