0 - 2 TITANS, 0 -3 VANDERBILT, FLORIDA OVER U. T.

As you can see, all the major Tennessee teams lost this weekend. The Titan game was a wash-out with not one mitigating factor in their favor. It was disgraceful for a supposedly "professional" team to play so badly. How's Kerry Collins working out for you now, Jeff and Floyd? And what's the prognosis for the second coming, Vince Young? How's that working out for you John McClain and Bud Adams?

It was absolutely stupid not to start Billy Volek who had trained with the Titans from mini-camp through Training Camp. They had their timing down and could have surely performed better than Collins et al did. Of course, our high testosterone coach who likes to really lower his voice when he thinks he is making a point, will say his mind is made up and he made the best decision and fans don't know anything. Oh, really?

Because I love football (grew up watching the Chicago Cardinals play in the 40's, lived in San Francisco and often went to the 49'er games, in Houston, the Oilers, in Denver, the Bronco's, in Cincinnati, the Bengals and finally the Titans) it's hard to forgive such poor effort. (Yes, I'm an old lady!) There is something very wrong with the management of the Titan organization. It would seem that if the majority of the people who watch the Titans from fans to professional sport's writers and broadcaster find this has become a disastrous situation with no apparent solution, the Owner would attempt to do something to right the ship. It would appear he has been disengaged from the team except for this year when he made them draft Young because of his ongoing vendetta against Houston.

What a shame that Nashville who has given up so much to satisfy his greed, would be the city to suffer. One might also trace the disintegration of the Titans to the year he failed to re-up Jeff Diamond as President. It's pretty much been down hill since then because he thought he would save a dime by getting rid of Diamond.

What think you?

At least Vanderbilt played their hearts out...coulda, woulda or shoulda won with just a few more calls in their favor. As far as U.T., I think their QB has overcome much of his weakness from last year and Florida only beat them by one point. Since I'm not a Coach Fulmer fan, I was happy Florida won.
