I'll be back in a couple weeks.....

[Rocky Top T]

I'm still upset. I didn't expect us to win, but thought with 3 weeks to prepare we would at least put up a little fight. Game plan sucked and so did effort. Of course we won the pregame.

More towards X than VN in regards to “truth“

I thought LSU is now WR U

Either way, go back to lurking

Go back to pissing and moaning.

Not sure if you’re one of those or not, ya could always pull for Bama, GA or whomever the “go to team is”

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!!

They need negativity like oxygen. Miserable human beings.

Aw....poor baby. Please don't go....pretty please? Life won't be the same without you.

I'm usually chill around here, but the ones blaming fans for being pissed are getting on my nerves.

The Vols flopped big time. Some of us payed hundreds of dollars for tickets, hotels, fuel, and our time to travel. What did we get in return? We watched Smokey roll over for a belly rub.

I am fine with the loss. It happens. But that mess was completely unacceptable.

 

[Carl Pickens]

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 ones doing the most complaining and calling for coaches to be fired probably suck at their jobs too.

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

Agree

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

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.

Yall are dumb as sack of hammers.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

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.

Anything other than this perspective is low IQ

I agree there needs to be some levity but your explanation for what occurred was:

1) the game was too hard. They should've given the Vols the weakest opponent in the field and some other team should've gotten Ohio State. They did the Vols wrong.

2) if Ohio State plays another predictable offensive opponent, that they can steadily beat to the edges and expose the lack of speed, and a defense that can't get pressure then they'll win.

Ok then. I guess we can forget that we went about 4 games struggling to score in the 1st half, we couldn't get pressure on a beat up Arkansas OL, or we had trouble stopping Florida. I thought maybe that team showed up for Ohio State and Heupel didn't have any fixes but I guess I was wrong.
