Folks, we knew this year was gonna be tough

[UT Hill Man]

Throw in having a true freshmen QB and this is our reality. Have a little faith and some patience.

GO VOLS!

 

[I_Hate_the_BCS]

Thank you...there's a reason we were predicted to suck

 

[ToptheTerrible]

Signature win.... Check
Solid class... Check
Bowl game..... Within reach in November

Looks like team 117 and staff are on track for the best possible outcome given talent, depth and schedule. We all need to take breath and enjoy what opportunities still exist THIS YEAR!

You are correct, all who were realistic knew this year would be tough. And that we before we knew Auburn and Mizzou would go from losing records to the top 10.

This schedule has been a killer. Not helping out program at this point.

All that aside, watching us set the points given up record at home hurts.

But...but...Jones said losing was unacceptable. :no:

Coach speak is part of the job. If he said anything different you'd still be critical.

Just keep doing your job Butch, and ignore the babies.

 

[BennisDrewer]

It's the fact that the losses are absolute blowouts these past few weeks...

Or as was so eloquently spoken in Hoosiers...“Sun don’t shine on the same dog’s ass everyday, but, mister you ain’t seen a ray of light since you got here.” (Hoosiers)

Our day is coming not this year, but soon!:clapping:

Nonsense. If we had a coach worth a damn we would be upsetting a different top 10 team every week. Everybody knows that.

 

[ETNVol]

There are a lot of highly sought after division 1 recruits on the field for UT. No one should expect them to be a top 10 team, but getting absolutely humiliated 3 weeks in a row is totally unacceptable.

 

[Insunseri]

Our coach's initials are BJ...we'll be alright

That's obviously tough to watch , but we're losing to very good teams , top 10 teams .We have to maintain perspective

 

[ncvol17]

C'mon man, in August every reputable analyst in the country said we would be in a major rebuild this year, as each week has progressed - every major analyst has repeated that we do not have the horses to compete with our schedule, and many reputable analysts have noted that CBJ is the man to do the job. BUT - VN expects a few top 10 upsets and all the rest to be very close. AND we have top SEC talent - cause they say so. So C'mon man.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Actually yes, a lot of us did, but that didn't stop a large portion of this place from calling said people "NegaVols".

It's also the fact that 4 of our losses came against teams that arguably have chances at playing for the nat'l title.

We knew it would be rough, but I think most didn't want to believe it because CBJ was so positive and encouraging. Also, it doesn't help that Mizzou and Auburn have been actually very good this year.

I'm still on board though. #bUTchplease #VFL

 

[mscc1998]

Hmmm.
3 coaching changes in 5 years
1st year coach goes on the road plays #1, (then) #2, #9, and 6 or 7 top 20 teams overall,
and were supposed to have a 10 win season all of a sudden.
WE NEED PLAYERS, NOT COACHES!

That's right! I don't believe many were expecting 7-8 wins this year - not against the most difficult schedule we have ever faced - and not in a rebuilding year!
