I just can't sometimes with this board. The over reaction is just absurd at times. Yes, we got our a$$ kicked. Yes, we were outclassed. Yes, we need to get better. But my God, the negativity here is just crazy with many of you. Your short term memory issues really show up big in times like this.

I was disappointed for sure.....but....we made the playoff....and if seeding was done the right way, we would probably still be playing. If OSU plays like THAT....they are gonna win it all. It was a perfect storm that we walked into.

I'm gonna relax and watch our hoops team play a brutal SEC schedule and hope we make the south region so I can go to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. Time to channel positive energy to sports that are in season and playing well.

Merry Christmas Vol Nation!!

Orange colored glasses will be different this off season, unless we get some splash portal signees. Let's face it, JH and crew haven't exactly been able to coach up or trust true Frosh to get on the field to impact our season. This time last year, we just knew we'd have a RS Frosh QB Heisman trophy winner, which had us spun up in a frenzy. I'd probably peg us somewhere in the 18-20 range preseason rankings.

It’s just cathartic to bitch and moan. It disgusts me too (both the team losing and the bitching and moaning), but I come here and contribute my share 😂. But in reality, I think most on here are like me, and really grounded. When all is said and done, none of this really matters. It’s just fun to be a fan, and both cheer and complain. Anyone that laments a loss being the worst moment of their lives (or something similar….. and people do express such) needs to regroup. It’s just a game. 100 years from now, we’ll all be dead, and no one will care about any of this 😁

I won't lie, I am frustrated too. Heupel, Coaches, and Players were a letdown but they are building something.

I think we are in a good spot overall but frankly, Tennessee stopped being Elite a hard time again and it will be a major challenge for anyone not named Saban or Meyer to get us elite.

Agree! As an old guy & longtime Tennesee fan, many of these fair-weather fans make me puke in my mouth. I'll hang about & post less, however....for now. Some of y'all "fans" are just miserable human beings. Coaches forgot more that you'll ever know. Book it.

It appears the LOM's are more prominent this week. They'll get bored and leave soon enough and this board will get back to some semblance of sanity.

What truth is it, who’s truth is it?

Do we take the arm chair quarterbacks who say should have could have?

I think we all forget OSU is known as Wide Receiver U, and it showed.

The negativity is just amazing, I understand venting but the non stop threads is just full retard.

We lost, we pick up the pieces and move on. We’re light years from where we were and improving….. but with this instant gratification world we live in it just isn’t enough for some here.

That’s the truth

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Changes need to be made.

More towards X than VN in regards to “truth“

I thought LSU is now WR U

Either way, go back to lurking

My man, after the past 15 or so years, I don’t think there are many “fair-weather” fans left.

If my numbers are correct, in 4 years at Tennessee Huepel is:

37-15 = .711 overall
20-12 = .625 SEC

Better than I thought it would be when he was hired to be honest. We see improvements every season in one way or another.

Last Saturday? Exposed for lack of talent, depth and not to mention we are coming out of one the biggest downfalls I’ve ever witnessed with a major program.

A couple of things that needs to be figured out:
1. Why are we not in the top 5 in recruiting?
2. Why is Nico not progressing?
3. Offensive line issues on pass rush

I know we are dealing with transfer portal but so is everybody else.

Looking back at the season:
1. Florida should’ve beat us.
2. Oklahoma gets 3 more minutes that’s probably a loss.
3. If not for Nico finally connecting on the deep ball with a finger tip catch to Thornton, Alabama probably beats us.

The positive is that CJH has shown them how not to blow games that they are supposed to win.

I realize that you win at the LOS and production comes with execution but damn, the top teams offenses look way more modern and creative than what we are doing lately. The ball should’ve been forced to Bru the play maker Saturday. Nico is so scared of throwing an interception that it’s making him play bad.

The negative in my opinion is that the offensive plays look dated compared to Georgia, Texas, Ohio state and Oregon. Our defense looked liked they had never seen speed before Saturday.

I agree that it can get tiresome when people call for coaches to be fired after every single loss, or sometimes even after a win. That being said, there are legitimate concerns about the program right now, and many fans are passionate as hell about UT football. They have every right to be frustrated with some of the issues going on with the program at the moment.

It’s truly a wonder how such negative people go through life. It must be a miserable existence.

I enjoyed this football season more than any other in more than two decades. As with you, yes I’m disappointed. I actually thought this team might make a surprising run.

And yes, we need to recruit better players and get better overall. And learn from it from a coaching standpoint.

But, damn, you don’t just go off the rails about burning it all down because of a bad end that 11 out of 12 playoff teams ultimately will meet.

The lack of perspective is alarming.

The only time we were maybe elite was when General Neyland was here
