| “Right now we’re like the Germans in World War II,jersey store,” Dooley said at his weekly press conference Monday. “Here comes the boats, they’re coming. You got the binoculars … it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, the invasion is coming.’”
*** Still, though … Louisville University basketball coach Rick Pitino also invoked 9/11 (twice, in fact) in responding to allegations that he banged the wife of his team’s equipment manager, got her pregnant and paid her to have an abortion. No … really … here’s the clip (Dooley’s comments come at the 10:50 mark of the video). “Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event,” Saban said. “It may be 9-11,authentic wholesale, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, or whatever, and that was a catastrophic event.” Dooley’s Volunteers will take on No. 17 South Carolina on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12:21, and the game will be televised on the SEC Network. Also,nfl shop, it’s worth noting that the entire Tennessee press corps was laughing in approval as Dooley gave his history lesson. FITSNews Oh brother. Mid-brain fart, however, Dooley was already apologizing … only to the Germans. After a crime-filled off-season, Dooley’s Volunteers are 2-5 this season and have yet to win a game in the Southeastern Conference. In fact, they’ve been blown out in their last two games, first by Georgia (where Dooley’s father, Vince, won six SEC championships and one national title from 1964-8  and most recently by Alabama.
In his defense, Dooley never used the term Nazis. In fact,jersey store, the German general he referenced – Erwin Rommel – was actually forced to commit suicide by Adolf Hitler after it was discovered that he had participated in a plot to assassinate the Nazi dictator. “I don’t want the German people to get upset at me,” he continued. “I’m not attacking them, but that’s what happened. You had one group, they weren’t worried about what the plan was and orders and all that. When the war hits, things change. You’ve got to go. You had the other group, and they go, ‘Wait a minute, they told us the invasion was way further north,nfl sales,’ where we had the empty tanks and we were hiding Patton out. ‘We weren’t ready for this, now what do we do?’ ‘We better wait until Rommel tells us what to do.’” Speaking of the Crimson Tide, four years ago Alabama head football coach Nick Saban committed a similar verbal gaffe when he compared his team’s loss to lowly Louisiana-Monroe to the September 11 terrorist attacks. University of Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley says that his players are acting like inexperienced German soldiers who panicked during the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944. Yeah … we still get a little misty-eyed whenever we read the “sort of,” “kind of,” and “whatever” parts of that quote … |
