Tonight's close loss just shines even more light on exactly how bad that earlier loss to Florida was. Had we not failed miserably in that game, we're in a better place mentally tonight after losing a hard fought game to a good Missouri team. However, as things stand, we're right where we were last season: having to beat Vandy to go bowling. Not a good place to be. It isn't right. Not for Tennessee.
This team fights hard. They are more athletic. However, we still have a loooooong way to go. It's just darn depressing to still be looking up from inside a hole after these last several years. The damage that Derek Dooley did during his tenure is beyond description. Coach Jones didn't get it done tonight. Bad management of time at the end (the worst scenario). However, I like the fake FG call earlier. Just wish he hadn't fallen apart in the 4th qtr.
Oh well, on to Vandy.
