op needs to step back from the ledge

we have very limited talent and depth at key positions

Needs to step closer, IMO

 

[fade route]

To all housewives who are members of VN: my sincerest apologies for disparaging your good reputation and knowledge of football by comparing you with a poster who obviously has no ability to have perspective when evaluating yesterdays game in context to where we are as a football program.

IMO he should jump.

I wish I could reconsider opening this thread. You are brain dead

Some people will never be pleased with anything. I saw all positives in the game. Go Vols, you did us proud. Everyone on the team ,that had on the orange,gave their all for Tennessee. I say we are on our way to bigger things, for sure !!!!

:lolabove:What he said! So many lows over the last few years. I have to say, at least, this is a positive to keeping building on. Thank you men, for an outstanding effort! Keep your heads up! Still a long season to go.:clapping:
GO VOLS!

OP...do you pick your nose and eat your own boogers?

That Dooley was closer to a win against a better LSU team.
That Kiffin was closer to a win against a better Bama team.

Neither had their top 2 RBs and WRs out.
What does a close loss mean? Not much other than excess dissapointment. Unless someone wants to argue that case for South Alabama. Until some coach cracks through with a significant win, UT won't turn the corner.

You know, I'm trying to ween myself from commenting to idocy.

This Georgia team is a definite contender for the NC. They are as good as anyone.

Kiffen is a douce bag who had more EXPERIENCED talent than Dooley or Butch. If you will go back and check the Bama game you will see that in yardage Bama was dominate, yes the most important part the Score was close. A blocked FG is not as close as a victory as a great effort made by Alton Howard in OT to score. After all this game was a TIE game at the end of regulation.

Dooley vs LSU doesn't come close to this one!! Aaron Murray is light years a better QB than what Les Miles went with at LSU.

In my books this was 31-31 tie. Personally I'm against this OT concept. Because when you fight toe to toe and actually control the 2nd half by the way winning the 2nd half 28-14 you don't deserve to lose. And I'll give it to Georgia they didn't deserve to lose either. This game is a 31-31 tie.

But back to you. Your post is so stupid and irrelavent I hope this is the last comment to it. Go outside and get off of your computer. Stop typing. Hide in your room with a pillow over your head. Don't show your face in public again. This is advice because when you try to use your brain something short circuits and you say stupid things.

may be you should consider this:

pes·si·mism
ˈpesəˌmizəm/
noun
noun: pessimism

1.
a tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen; a lack of hope or confidence in the future

most of the negative people on this board parade under the banner of realism (realistic). They are not realistic. They are pessimists. (or trolls or both)

op you are a pessimist plain and simple

I believed the Vols just turned the corner and you missed it!

You're the guy who, had we won, would be making all the excuses for Georgia right now. Much like you did in your post.

If a close loss means nothing to you, then don't complain about the blowouts, either. You've lost that right.

Seriously, if you can't see the difference, then I can't help you. Not only did Jones have less talent to work with, but he most definitely was "closer" to beating Georgia than Dooley was to beating LSU. Don't see how you got that at all.

I can't really explain why, but that one felt different. We weren't close because of Georgia's incompetence (like with the LSU game), we were close because WE PLAYED WELL.

Preach it my Big Orange brother! This would have been taking a win not backing into a win because the other team sucked it up.

Everyone knew that this year was going to be difficult.... This team is heading up, could not say that in years

hang around just a bit cause a big win is coming. When it does, just make sure your chickenshi# butt shows back up here to eat some crow. Also the term you use "better" is subjective. That's a matter of opinion as to whether those teams were better. And we all know that opinions are like a$$holes, everybody's got one. personally I don't think that they were/are better but that's just me.

 

[JonWard]

Those games ended in regulation...how were they "closer to a win" than an overtime game?

 

[1972 Grad]

That's not fair to housewives

Most housewives' football knowledge begins and ends with Cooter.

 

[MSCE09]

I see this loss as more closely to Kiffin's Alabama loss. One play away from a National Championship contender. Kiffin's team went 4-2 after that game. They killed South Carolina the next week. In both cases I think the team came out of the game feeling better about themselves as a team. The LSU game left the team not believing in the coaching staff because the disorganization between the coaches resulted in 13 players on the field.

You have the football IQ of a typical housewife.

That's called an ad hominem and really only shows your own IQ. If you disagree, fine. I provided some facts. The next fact I'd like to present is the location of your head.

yours is obviously buried... I'll leave it up to VN to determine where...

Sorry but your wrong and you make it personal. I don't see this UGA team in the league of either of those teams. Add in the injuries. Further, UT was not going to win the game if pig scored. It would have only given them the lead. The plays in bama and LSU would have won the game. Period. Look at kiffins oline and it doesn't compare. All three teams had glaring deficiencies

Are you considering our roster of players in these three games?

Agree with everything here. And when they do get that win ( and they will) you can stand in front of a full length mirror and simulate a fast draw and say "told you so!!" Hell, put it on your resume.

I said "consider." I didn't say, "this is the gospel and if you disagree with me you are a -------. Good grief. There are always caveats. Kiffin's o-line was a joke.
The fact is that, today, this is an "L". Period, end of story. How the team responds from this really has little to do with the commentary on this forum. If people "feel" better, fine. That's their right. Its my right to ask people to consider that "close" has history. Most of which isn't good.

No, it's not "end of story". This is a chapter in the book.

And if it's ok for you to ask, it's okay for me to ask. The parameters of your intended discussion matter, unless your intent is just to bash the program. End of story.
