Drown your sorrows here

Place your thoughts and concerns for the season here. We always have let downs but let a support our team.

This Team does not deserve a fanbase as loyal as this one.

 

[UTK]

I don’t even care. We lose to inferior Florida teams, it’s just what we do yo.

The one constant from the last 15 or so years remains the same.

I have to ask myself why ?

 

[Madscientistvol]

Supported through all the down years, I was hoping they were behind us, but apparently it looks like they aren’t.

Tennessee just isn't a good football program, period. They are more on par with Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, and Kentucky.

You only have two wins in Gainesville in over 20 tries? That is pretty ridiculous, only bottom feeders do that kind of stuff.

We need to be more like Ole Miss or Arkansas, and just stop worrying about competing for top level. Alabama, Florida, and Georgia are just an entirely different level of playing field than Tennessee and history shows that.

You? Hello troll

 

[Voltopia]

Pfft. Ain't no containing this to a single thread. No way, no how. This whole forum is gonna be radioactive for weeks.

You? Hello troll

We beat Florida 2x in 17 years and Alabama 1x in 17 years. That is not an elite program.

 

[C-south]

I had a bad feeling about this one so I’m not too down. I didn’t have much faith in Joe (although hopeful) but I was really disappointed in the defense. Playcalling sucked as well. We had a little hope in the 2nd half and the refs sucked all that away. Did I mention the O-line sucked bad especially Lane? Can we fix it or is it going to be another season of what ifs? Who knows….

 

[marvin616]

We already had one started.

Here we are again

Glad I didn't have time to buy that expensive bottle of bourbon to celebrate with tonight. Drowning it with beer is much easier and less dangerous. I know there's a few of you that will identify. Cheers fellow Vols!

And beat Georgia 2x in 13 years, likely to be 14 years.

EXACTLY... how is that any better than UK, Vandy, Arkansas, etc.? We have similar winning percentages and records against the top SEC programs.

Whoa, the OL is a serious work in progress. CJH is billed as a scoring coach, so I have no idea how he can tolerate an OL is this trashy. And that's on him. Milton, his decision making ....is crap. Holds it too long, can't make the decisions Hendo did and (#1) HAS NO CLUE WHEN TO TAKE OFF!! Maybe his game is suited for the NFL, but right now, if it's not the OL it's Joe's inability to deliver that's killing CJH. The OL you can change, improve, Joe's hopeless. And that's readily apparent.

All momentum built under hueple is now gone… maybe hooker saved his ass like dobbs did butch

Well, I think we have been an overall better program than those schools. We've beaten them consistently, played for several SEC titles and a natty in the Fulmer era and went to a lot of bigger bowl games. Since 2007 we have not been elite. Had a decent season in 2016 beating FLA and GA, and a nice season last year. We have some work to do. I'm not down on Heupel, but I do think some changes need to be made in personnel, players and assistant coaches.

Key word being since 2007. That is over 16 years. To high school recruits, we are their level. Minnesota once won 3 National Titles in 4 years. Sewanee used to be elite. We are a has been.

My dog jumped up last night and headbutted me - caused a small line of orange blood to seep out.

Need to add in that defense has regressed. I mean, FL didn’t even punt the entire first half.
