    My pre-season picks and how I did

    Considering how Schrader played, happy to see him go. But my daughter will be saddened as she is a first-year student at Mizzou. He literally ran all over us and we were demoralized.

    What fans want to see...

    While I don't speak for all or many fans, I do think the fanbase wants all wins for sure, but would settle for more competitive games and players having heart. Yes, losses are not to be celebrated but it means more when they go down to the wire trying to win more games. Milton was heralded at...

    Clarification: Tennessee is NOT competitive in the SEC

    You make a good point in that GA wanted more. Richt was consistently winning every year and would have been the darling of any college program. Job security was no issue at the rate he was going. But GA made a commitment to go to the next level and it paid off.

    Educate me

    I am right along with one of the posters when it comes to not having all the knowledge about football, but I have noticed that when we get penalized and we face a 1st and 15, we just can't seem to do well in that scenario. When I see that happening, I know it will end up in a punting situation...

    A House Divided...

    Well, my daughter was very happy with the outcome. She was at the game and found the crowd to be electric. Obviously, our team had all plugs pulled from the wall. We had no energy or spark. It will be a long Thanksgiving week when she shows up with her Mizzou merch. Maybe we can do something...

    Worst game under Heupel!

    I was hoping to watch the game too, but why bother. Even if GA loses, it means nothing for us. Even if we beat them next week, means nothing but bragging rights.

    A House Divided...

    Ironically, it was a former professor at UTK who had just come from Mizzou and became a mentor to me and my future wife. He was quite knowledgeable and told us of the virtues of Mizzou for communications/journalism. This was way back and we kept that in our minds for years.

    A House Divided...

    From what you have described, you did a great job parenting and preparing your children. We need more parents to take a strong interest in their kids. Our nation would be much better for it. I salute you and others on this board who love, cherish, and sacrifice for their kids. It's the way it...

    A House Divided...

    My daughter was accepted at BAMA, and I could barely let the flyers stay in the home. Something unnerving about having the "enemy's" stuff hanging around.

    A House Divided...

    Well, it has come down to this...Mommy and Daddy against Daughter. My daughter is now a first-year student at Mizzou. For 18 years, I dressed her in Tennessee garb, and now she's wearing Mizzou colors. I have to cheer for my alma mater. Don't know what to do with her if she comes home for...

    Take a moment to appreciate that 8-4 is basically worst case for a down year

    I, too, have been delusional and did not take into account the losses of personnel that made us so good last year. I thought we could mirror last year's success without any qualms. I think what hurt this year is the close games for teams we should have beaten handily and the losses to FL and...
