"Right now we're like the Germans in World War II. Here comes the boats, they're coming. You have the binoculars, and it's like, 'Oh, my God, the invasion is coming.' That's what they did, they were in the bunkers. It's coming, they call Rommel -- they can't find Rommel. (Pretending to speak into a radio.) 'What do we do? I'm not doing anything until I get orders.' (Pretends to look through binoculars.) 'Have you gotten Rommel yet?'"It's really not that bad. Not like, say, comparing a loss to Pearl Harbor (cough, cough, Nick Saban, cough). Dooley's only saying his team's lacking in decisiveness and action, much like some of the German commanders on D-Day; not that the Vols are world conquering, genocidal war mongers. And, he's saying it the only way his social studies-based undergrad developed brain knows how. Besides, everybody knows that world conquering, genocidal war mongers don't go 2-5. Either way, though, it's still dumb to throw around historical* comparisons in this day and age if you don't want to be a headline, blog post, or quick clip.
Anyway, if anyone's a Nazi Blitzkrieg around here, it's the Oregon offense...oh, wait. What? Nothing, nothing.

* "historical" used loosely here, as this is more a description of The Longest Day than the actual Nazis manning Fortress Europe in Normandy.
