Monumental win for Jones. The fact that the

so that makes the win mandatory, not monumental.

Bingo.

 

[Pig Skin]

What makes the win so amazing to me was we had no wide receivers in most of the second half and the catch that Young made in the end zone....monumental.

That's actually more of a testament to how pathetic Kentucky is, but don't let me dampen your bliss.

My 5 year old used the toilet today, which I found monumental because, had she crapped her pants, it would have destroyed all progress I have made in getting her ready for college.

Poopy pants are no fun; thus, monumental.

Potty training a bit late are we?

If you rush a kid to potty train, they'll hate you for life. Gotta get through each of those Freudian Stages on their own unless you want them to fixate the rest of their lives.

This win was salvaging; not in any way monumental.

Y'all are mad if we win and made if we lose......LOL

I'm not in the mafia.

I'm not mad at all. I just don't think that beating a team that has one win in 30 some years against us & is O-fer the SEC the last two years qualifies as monumental.

 

[Velo Vol]

Sad...a win against a 0 SEC win Ky is considered "monumental"

Right. This isn't even a so-so Kentucky team; it's a terrible one.

You mean you sunshine pumpers don't need me?

I guess you could put it that way ...! Glad you understand!

The day a win over Kentucky is considered "monumental" is the day Tennessee becomes the Colorado of the east, and is permanently done as a legitimate power in college football.

Easy big fella! I compared this program to Colorado last year and got demoralized.

I remember when our mandatory list was longer. However I used to list Vandy and Ky in the "give me" column with the likes of Austin Peay etc.

Jones just tied Chaney for victories over the Cats.

Also tied with Dooley and Kiffen

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

My fault. Read as beating teams from this states. And pretty weary of negativity at this point.

No prob. Winning will cure the negativity. Don't know when that's gonna come though.

Well.....we did steal the Buffaloes potential head coach.

 

[FEARinSEC]

Wow. Our team breaks a 4-game winning streak with an SEC win on the road and all the whining negavols come out and argue for why we shouldn't be happy about that? I am sorry that some of you have to search so hard for reasons to be miserable in your lives. I hope Santa brings you a puppy.

You should never wish that on a poor, little, defenseless puppy.

yeah, I guess my only thing is they appeared to turn a corner in October, then Worley went down and so did the season and I don't just mean Dobbs' poor play. The entire team, offensive, defensive and ST all went backwards after Worley's injury. That's either very telling of Worley's actual impact on the team or a sign of bad coaching.

I agree with your observation, and find it hard to believe that Worley had that much of an impact.

It may be that fluke injuries for GA, TIAs for Spurrier and an off day for Conner Shaw were all enough to make it appear that things had substantively changed when in fact they really had not.

 

[Tenacguy50]

Right. This isn't even a so-so Kentucky team; it's a terrible one.

Would you say this KY team was worse than the '11 KY team that beat us without a QB?

Potty train......Freudian Stage......Dooley......orange pants......total s*** head......I see now how it all fits

 

[ptclaus98]

We are world betters now

Still haven't won an SEC game outside of Kentucky or Tennessee since I think 2007

May be wrong though

so how do explain the UGA game? And regardless, it's not about talent level we're facing, it's our level of fight in the contests. We had it even when Oregon trounced us. But we just folded over for Bama, Mizzou, Auburn and Vandy. I've never seen us look worse than we did against Vandy. So, if it isn't Worley (which I agree to), it's on the coaches.

team did not give up on him is very telling. To go on the road and win even against Kentucky is big. It gives me a little hope and should help recruiting.

The fact that this post got 50 likes (and still counting) tells you all you need to know about how our fan base has grown to accept mediocrity.


I swear...I never thought I'd see the day where a Tennessee fan said the Kentucky game was a "monumental win," unless of course it was basketball.

Sad.

The OP wasn't necessarily talking about Kentucky being a monumental win. The monumental win was the team coming out and trying instead of caving in like the past couple years.

Tennessee has been in a state of mediocrity for a while now.

We don't accept mediocrity, but we do get excited to see the team try. That shows signs of improvement.

Difference between this team and the 2011 team that quit at UK is glaring. If there is no other take away, this was most evident.

Monumental win? Kentucky?

Nah.
