I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH ERIC AINGE IS GOING TO BE A BUST FOR TENNESSEE. HE MAY HAVE BEEN A GOOD QB IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT HE SHOWS NO PROMISE WHATSOEVER TO THIS POINT.(THIS YEAR) IT SHOULD BE GETTING EASIER FOR HIM AND ITS NOT. RANDY SANDERS AND CLAUSEN VS. AINGE ASIDE, THIS GUY DOESNT PERFORM WELL AT ALL. I HAVE A REALLY BAD FEELING WE ARE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH HIM AND HAVE THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE. AND I KNOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE THE COMMENT, INCLUDING FULMER, ABOUT HIM BEING A YOUNGSTER AND HE HAS A LOT TO LEARN, BUT USUALLY THOSE KIND OF GUYS CAN MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. IT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME AT THIS POINT HE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE QB THAT EVERYONE HYPED HIM TO BE- HE WILL BE LIKE CASEY CLAUSEN AT BEST-GIVE YOU A GOOD CHANCE TO WIN ONLY TO COMPLETELY BLOW IT.JUST MY OPINION - AND YOU KNOW HOW OPINIONS ARE- BUT DOES ANYONE FEEL THE SAME? AT THIS POINT I HOPE SOMEONE ELSE STEPS UP AT QB- MAYBE CROMPTON.......AND PLEASE ERIC AINGE'S DAD- DONT POST A REPLY... I NEED SOME OBJECTIVE REPLYS.

Erik has a lot of potential, but he doesn't have the work ethic to acheive it. It's unfortunate. A lot does reside on the coach, but Erik has to give a little too. Shafer made him better, but then he took a high and mighty attitude with Clausen. If he doesn't want to work, send him on to a D-II school.

Don't worry, Crompton is waiting his turn. He will at least compete for the job in the spring. If ainge is still playing this way, and with this attitude, he will be on the bench.

Very True, Very True.. Good Point VOL.

Bama is loaded with talented QB's, if Tebow wants to play, then TN is the place to be.

maybe we can coax the junior of the clausens to come over, he looks like he could really do some damage on the field. and, i believe he is the best of the clausens. casey was not too bad, and rick has his moments, but i think the other is the whole package. and please, dont let him come by way of lsu.
