If we had gone 0-12 this year, we still would have only played 3 teams with winning conference records and only 3 teams that went 8-4 or better. The schedule was as easy as we could ask for.

We would have actually played 4 teams with an 8-4 record (Chattanooga, Bama, Florida, Georgia)
We would also have played 3 more teams with a 7-5 record (NC State, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt)
That's 7 games against teams with a 7-5 record or better. Not the hardest schedule ever, but not as easy as it is made out to be. Our winning had a great deal to do with the way the strength of schedule panned out.

If you want to count UTC, you’ve lost the argument.

You are the one that included them first. You said if Tennessee went 0-12. UTC was one of our 12 games. So I guess you lost the argument, since I was just following the argumented you initially presented.

I said our schedule wasn’t hard. Hard schedules were when we faced 3 of the top 5 teams in the country in 2011, or when we faced 4 11 win teams in 2012.

You countered with “ackshually Chattanooga is good.”

ESPN must have felt bad for not including him in the top 50 players to watch in the CFP..

He scares me as an OSU fan. I think he’s QB1 in the whole sport next year and there is a high ceiling for his performance this weekend.

Interesting. I think he has to be the most nonchalant player I have ever seen. It’s also interesting that the number one thing he took away from his mentors is to not let the fans bother him with what they’re saying.

I love that about him. Look at the roller coaster of emotions VN has during the live game watch threads. I don’t blame any athlete for completely ignoring the fans. They love you, then hate you, then love you, then hate you again.

Why burden yourself with that? I had a buddy in college who I physically had to take his phone to prevent him from looking at VN lol. Once he stopped his play got a lot better.

I am a nonfan for every other team. As a fan of Tennessee though, I remember Casey Clausen only losing one true road game and never running out of bounds with no time left in the game.

I wonder what hellhole these types get dug out of to be so dysfunctional and angry all the time.

2000 TN team lost 3 road games. Clausen played in all of those games.

Simply not true. We lost 2 road games in 2000. Clausen threw a grand total of 2 passes against LSU. Suggs played the majority of the game against Georgia too. In games Clausen started, he lost 1 road game in his career.

Those Georgia teams were all really good. Mark Richt was coach. In Clausen’s first year, Suggs started against Georgia.

They were ok, really good in 03 and decent in 04. Was a 4 loss team in 02. Nothing like they are now.

Not discrediting anything Clausen did btw. One of my all-time favorites.

It looks like you saw "eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive" & you said I'm going with
"Eliminate the positive and accentuate the negative"
yeah, that's the kind of fan every Vol player and follower wants. That kind of dialogue will do wonders when pointing out fans to recruits.
