Do either of you guys have a positive bone in you? Your negativity about your team even makes me sick... :hmm:

 

[LetMeStay]

I'm not a fan of lord fulmer. ever since the NC, it's been mostly letdowns. This is sports, if negativity is a problem for you, why are you a sports fan?

 

[GAVol]

Negativity is fine, but I think a lot of times it's just a defense mechanism trying to figure out ways your team screwed up to let the other team win. Guess what . . . sometimes the other team is just a little better and beats you.

well, i guess i did...after the cal game. the air force game brought up reasons for doubting the team. the fire and sharp execution from that game seems to have vanished.

come on, how can you be positive after this game? we just lost to florida, the team i personally i want tennessee to beat the most every year. i am sick of losing big game after big game against SEC opponents at home. we were outschemed by you guys and dominated at the line of scrimmage all night long (see the statistics line that reads "yards rushing"). and in the nature of college football, the SEC championship game is most likely out of reach. it's hard to sugar coat that, unless you're phillip fulmer.

which is what i've said all night long. florida is the better team and deserved to win.

and our lord fulmer led team is far too familiar with not being better than the other team.

It's not even really just the negativity...it's just that it seems like when someone points out something positive, you immediately try to discredit it or ignore it and retort with something bad that happened...

but why should I care, I guess...:glare:

losing by 1 too a bitter rival is a tough one to swallow and its goin to take a few days or weeks for people to start being positive again, so the negativity is justifyable. Plus we had enough losing last year.

Negativity isn't the best in the world, but I mean right after a loss if your a die hard fan your not going to be harping on good things. Your gonna harp on bad things.

I've said more negative things here tonight than positive. I'm a very positive person I just want to address what kept us from winning the game. Things i see. I saw good too, but much more bad tonight.

They are just analyzing and venting man (WHAT PEOPLE DO AFTER LOSSES)

:yes: see my username.

yea im with you, cant go through another season like that, and it looks like we wont. We have a darn good QB now. We need improvement in the running game and the oline and obviously our D is a question because of the injuries, but besides the option game of air force, our D has played pretty well.

i'm not venting. most people think that the words "pessimist" and "realist" are the same thing. if i was a pessimist, i would be making comments like "we're gonna lose every game here on out," "just get rid of fulmer," "the entire team sucks", "ainge sucks," or some other stupid comment.

but the reality of it is is that we still cannot win big SEC games, we cannot run the ball, and the SEC championship is most likely out of reach. sure, those are negative statements, but they're the truth.

 

[OrangeAndBlue]

I of course expected a certain amount of negativity, but I just thought I was noticing an extremely excessive amount from those two, but whatever. OK...I'll keep my mouth shut next time... :zeitung_lesen:

 

[05_never_again]

CBS got that game right just like the GWB national gaurd story right, they hate us and hope we screw up every game. Which we do.; Way to go Vols. Keep CBS in buisness. CPF sucks go home and let us have a fighting chance. Chis leak is a ****** qb that will nort do any thing in the NFL I promise

that is an excessive amount of negativity. i believe this guy has been banned from the board or something to that affect.

 

[VolsWinRLose]

"Totally sucked" was last year. It's a tad unrealistic to expect the team to march undefeated to a conference championship a year after that meltdown.

I'm no Fulmer fan, but I'm willing to see what he can do with the rest of the season. We still have a good many games to go, and so does everybody else.

 

[05_never_again]

well, most of what my "negative" comments come out of tonight is the fact that this is COLLEGE football. if this was the NFL and we just lost a close game to a division rival, i could say "oh well, we'll see them again later on in the season, and there's still 13 games to go."

instead, we can't get revenge on florida until next year, and that will have no bearing on what happened tonight.

After a team wins a NC, anything and everything seems like a letdown if they don't repeat. They're hard to come by. You can't win one every year. That's why they're special.

From where I'm standing, our Vols swelled up on Cal.....just exploded on em. They're a good team, not great.....but good and it was an emotional closure game and they picked up the tab. Then there was Air Force who we escaped with a win because they executed a tough offense to defend brilliantly. The Florida Gators came into our house and won, even for a top ten team that no easy task and they deserve congrats. I too was hyped up unrealistically about this squad, as long as the W's kept comin I felt anything was possible. But IMO it was a staggering defeat because of to who we lost. For myself it's like your ex -wife's husband beatin you up in your own front yard, kind of a tough thing to get past, strong personal rivalries develope emotion. We'll no doubt see dozens of posts addressing talking heads we see and hear laughing at the Vols, but until the Vols get some kind of continuity in defending our ground against top ten squads....you have to be realistic and take the criticism because it's rightfully deserved. Again I congratulate the Gators on their win and let's just play the next game and move on. Go Vols!

seems to happen alot when we play a ranked opponet at home these days. that is a fact. what is fulmer now against top 10 opponets at neyland 6-14. that is a good reason to be alittle negative. i will say florida was the better team last night, but isn't fulmer the head coach and isn't he suppose to put a great team on the field. i thought that was the reason he was getting paid 2 million a year, to win sec championships.:question:
