Actually, many of those were PRE-THFGT, and was one of the reasons for the 
creation of a special list just for duking it out. The big meltdown between 
P,D and Jim Swofford occurred on Gatortalk in 2000 after I assumed the admin 
duties and was forced to ban Jim. We lost quite a few subscribers who just got 
tired of reading hate mail between them, and although P,D wasn't banned, he 
left due to being chastised.

Steve, Mike, Frank and P,D were around?  We had some great and way too HFGT

The archive goes back to Oct of 2000, and the discussion at that time was 
Bush  Gore. The older archives (1999 and early 2000) were lost when Gator 
Country asked us to find a new home and moved us off of their server.

I did, and the only comment came from a Texas fan. He believes we'll be 
playing them in Pasadena, so he smiled broadly and said we're still #1  #2!. 
All the Tenn fans either dropped their eyes or looked away, but a few of them 
growled. Our pastor is a rabid vol, and when they win, he always mentions it in 
his sermon. The absence of a vol remark left a void today. You could tell he 
was very conscious about avoiding it. :)

On a lighter note, my daughter's boyfriend has become scarce. :)

The worst part was - Tenn playing AT HOME - Kiffins second game - and the fans are booing the team.

I almost feel sorry for the team and Kiffin - but Kiffins big mouth wrote checks that his team can't cash.

Vols vs. UCLA: Loss called 'embarrassing'Kiffin takes the blame for inept performanceCommentary by David Climer THE TENNESSEAN
KNOXVILLE — In his first nine months on the job, Lane Kiffin came off as (choose your description) brash, brazen, confident or cocky.
Maybe all of the above.
After Tennessee's season-opening blowout of Western Kentucky last weekend, Kiffin turned a bit smug.
Consider this, then, his official introduction to the current state of Vol Ball. On a number of given Saturdays this fall, the unofficial post-game meal will be Humble Pie.
Humility was served on this day at Neyland Stadium. After the Vols were throttled 19-15 by UCLA, a second-tier Pac-10 team, Kiffin looked and sounded like someone who now understands that the rebuilding of this program is going to require patience and resilience.
Kiffin acknowledged he "didn't do a very good job" of handling things with quarterback Jonathan Crompton. He said it was "my fault" for putting players like wideout Gerald Jones on the field in key situations despite a lack of practice time because of injury.
Kiffin needs to save some of that humility for later. The Vols play at Florida on Saturday. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
From what we saw out of Tennessee on Saturday, this is a team capable of putting up only token resistance at The Swamp. The Vols' offense had four turnovers and managed just 208 yards and one touchdown against UCLA.
Kiffin, who oversees the offense and calls the plays, termed the offensive performance "embarrassing."
Meanwhile, I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but Florida has made Sept. 19 an orange-letter day on its calendar. Shortly after his arrival at UT, Kiffin began taking verbal jabs at Gators Coach Urban Meyer. Some of Kiffin's more colorful comments have been plastered all over the Gators' practice facility.
After winning its first two games by a combined 118-9, top-ranked Florida appears ready to flex its muscles. Tennessee? Well, let's just say the Vols better be in survival mode.
"I'd say they'll probably be ready for us," UT defensive tackle Dan Williams said.
The UCLA game was a painful reminder that Tennessee is very much a work in progress. The opening rout of Western Kentucky was an illusion. The meltdown against the Bruins was a reality check.
"We've got a long way to go," said freshman wide receiver Marsalis Teague, who was held without a reception after catching six balls against Western Kentucky. "We've got to learn from this and move on."
Much work remains. The change of coaching staffs may have given a number of players fresh starts, but there still are some bad habits lingering from the 5-7 performance of last season.
Kiffin said he noticed some grousing and finger-pointing when he entered the locker room after the UCLA game. He intervened. Clearly, Kiffin understands that he must change the culture of this program.
"That's Coach Kiffin's job," Vols linebacker Nick Reveiz said. "He's going to point that out and correct our mistakes. I think we came together as a team."
Repairing the Vols' collective psyche is one thing. Fixing UT's on-field problems is another.
Let's face it: Tennessee is not going to beat teams of substance with this kind of quarterbacking from Jonathan Crompton. His numbers — 13-of-26 passing for just 93 yards, with three interceptions — were comparable to some of the low points of last season.
The interceptions came on three consecutive series. On the first, he overthrew an open receiver. On the second, he locked in on a receiver and failed to see the cornerback jumping the route. On the third, he threw late and off-target.
In short, Crompton reverted to last year's form. And that's not good for the Vols.
Asked if his struggles reminded him of '08, Crompton said: "I don't think about last year."
It remains to be seen if Crompton can pull himself out of this. If he can't, how long does Kiffin go with him?
As things turned sour against UCLA, Kiffin said he never considered benching Crompton in favor of junior Nick Stephens, who started six games last season.
But if things don't get better, all bets are off.
And this just in: It's not going to get better against Florida.
