:wtf:


KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (ESPN) -- Tennessee coach Derek Dooley on Monday compared his young, inexperienced team's struggles to that of the German forces during the Allies' invasion of Normandy during World War II.

Dooley spent two minutes during his weekly media appearance describing the confusion caused by the surprise landing of the Americans at Omaha Beach on D-Day and the Germans' slow reaction in the absence of their leader, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

"Right now we're like the Germans in World War II," Dooley said. "Here comes the boats, they're coming. You have the binoculars, and it's like, 'Oh, my God, the invasion is coming.' "

Tennessee (2-5, 0-4 Southeastern Conference) is playing with a depleted lineup because of injuries and attrition from back-to-back coaching turnovers. The Vols have lost three straight games. ...........(more)

7. His parents, Vince & Barbara, are very intelligent and are both history buffs.

Derek graduated from Virginia and has a law degree. He is just using a history analogy he probably heard from them. Like the Germans at Normandy, his players, many of them inexperienced freshmen and sophomores, are having problems adapting to what's happening during the battle.

What's the difference between Tennessee and yogurt? ................ yogurt has a culture.
