Tennessee, along with Ohio State, is one of the only two college football programs to have never suffered an 8 loss season in the history of the program. Michigan was also on the list but went 3-9 with Rich Rod in 2008.
Is this the year we leave Ohio State to be the last team with that...
Don't kid yourself. 8-4 is absolutely mediocre (at best) when based on your roster talent you were picked number 9 preseason and just about every talking head out there picked UT to win the East.
This should have been Tennessee's year. Instead we lost to USCe and Vandy.
Exactly.
Also, I guess everyone here is overlooking the fact that a loss early in the season hurts your postseason resume much less than a loss late in the season. Should we ever get back to being at the top of our division regularly, we want to have the schedule front-loaded. A two-loss...
Well I'm sure when this is all said and done I will be priced out of my seats in U. I'm sure those field level club seats will carry an enormous price tag now.

Wow.
This thread was mostly meant just to be silly, but now I actually have a serious question...
If for discussion's sake we lost in gut-wrenching fashion yet again, does everyone still embrace the checkering?
I can't believe we are doing this again. The other two times we did it were two of the most gut-wrenching 4th quarter losses I have ever seen (2014 Florida and 2015 Oklahoma). I can't take another game like that.
When it comes to sports, superstition is real (and there is plenty of...
I think you should also be considering the possibility that we go 1-3 or even 0-4 in those games. Not saying we will, but definitely possible the way we have played so far.
