We wish that Simms had acknowledged his committment to Tenn. and never came to the Lone Star State.
Major Applewhite outplayed him every year and only his blue blood pedigree allowed Simms onto the field.
Texas has an excellent chance to challenge for the title this year and I got a sawbuck that says Simms botches the OU game again this year, costing Texas the title.
Thank goodness this is his senior year.
Good damn riddance.

When the K-Town UT signed Simms, I thought, "Really!"

Coach Fulmer will have Martians in here next, as Simms was heavily recruited by Penn State, Texas and others.

Throwing 4 INT's against OU has nothing to do with who recruited him, of course.

We've got this skinny kid for QB from Northridge CA, now. As luck would have it, he has better numbers than Peyton Manning did at this point in his career. Plus -- he BEAT FLORIDA AT FLORIDA. Of course the 5' 8" Travis Stephens of Clarksville, Tennesee WOULD NOT be denied 226 yards last year at the Swamp.

I wonder what it says that Casey Clausen came to Tennessee and his younger brother went to LSU.

The greatest native Tennessee player -from- Tennessee lately is Al Wilson of Jackson, now of the Denver Broncos.

I was at the SECCG in '97 when Auburn, on the strength of SIX UT turnovers was ahead of us. Only later did I read that Al Wilson was throwing chairs at half time and challenging the big players like Peerless Price and PEYTON MANNING to get off their butts and play some offense.

Let the record also show that the winningest team in the WHOLE country in college football since 1926 is my Tennessee Volunteers!

We aim to win a bunch more.

FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!

FOR THE ORANGE AND WHITE!!!
