Everyone needs to chill out about the 4th down fake. Granted I wish we would haven chosen a different play (Palardy throwing for 20 yards is..... risky to say the least), but going for the fake was a smart decision. Butch said we needed a TD on that drive and he was absolutely right. If we settle for the field goal there Vandy still wins 14-13.

maybe not defense goes out with momentum
momentum in a college game is huge

Honestly i think this is a still huge game. Namely because with a W that gives us a genuine road win and doubles the amount of conference games we had under the previous regime in a single season. Thats about 3 things this year that CBJ has accomplished in just 1 season. Again, more than the last coach. Despite it being a rough season, thats quite a feat. Still not a great season but less bad.

Seniors need to make Kentucky DERELICK their VOLS.....have some fight and pride...they have been the worst senior class in my 37 years of life...on the flip side if there was going to be a group to choke it would be these guys :cray:

Is this a trick question? My answer is a resounding YES. This is the last time to see the Big Orange take the field before the long cold winter sets in. You people that don't care really make me sick to my stomach. This team could be wi mm less and I would still be.living and dying with every snap.sure the past few years have been tough, but suffering breeds character and we won't be down forever, the future looks good. We have a man in charge that is passionate and tireless in his efforts. We all knew this would be a tough year going in. This program was in worse shape than when Majors took over.

If my wife cares less about how she puts herself together to go out, I'm staying at home.. And not giving two s****

Who wants to watch the worst O-Line in the SEC? Not mEye guys!

I think I will lose what is left of my orange tinted mind if we lose to KY. I won't get over until the Orange and White game, if then.

Any win is important. The fake field goal was a good call, IMO. It worked as well as a punt and gave us a chance to score instead of punting for a touchback. A field goal was unlikely into the swirling wind. We couldn't depend on the offense to make a first down. The call was OK, but the execution was not.

I'd rather not lose to Kentucky, that's for sure. But I have to admit if we lose it's not going to flip me out like losing 2 years ago did. I'm become a bit too used to this.

Plus a win isn't going to make me feel much better either.

I agree with you.

I think its really hard to get up for a game when you think the players are not giving it their all. After watching the Vandy gm anybody could see that our guys was just not in to it.

I'm sensing a little bit of fan apathy kicking in. Not just from here but from others around town. Almost a "call me when we're relevant" kind of attitude. Hopefully a great recruiting class and some time will get people excited again.

Every game is important, no matter the circumstances. Not to mention that if we lose, Ohio state will then be the only team to never lose 8 games in a season. There's a lot at stake here. More than one might originally think.

This. Pretty exclusive club and we need every bit of dignity we can get right now.

Maybe a zero-yard punt.

Just how badly has the Vandy loss affected the interest in the Ky game. I have been talking to long-time Vol fans all week at work and the consensus is -the game is not important. Is this accurate ( my sample) or does the game matter? I am sure that I will get angry if we lose ( I have been angry almost every weekend lately) but I hadn't even seen what time KO is til tonight and I may not watch it even if I am home. That stupid fake-field goal call is going to burn a long time, it was staggeringly stupid and changed my opinion of Butch. Maybe I am being too tough on Butch but I had to go back to the fake punt that Bill Battle called in the Ga game that blew up in his face . He never recovered from that. That is the only bonehead play I can compare it with. WTF? That call changed to whole feel of the game.
