I wasn't proud of that game...I was disgusted. We lost on a substitution error....THIRTEEN MEN ON THE FIELD! Not even 12....THIRTEEN! It was a coaching blunder, pure and simple.

Even though I kept my doubts to myself, since Dooley was brand new at the time, it created a doubt in my mind as to whether he was really up to it or not.

That's not the case with this loss....not at all. LSU was a whole other vibe.

THIS.

The LSU game was one you walk away with your head down.

This game they could walk away with their heads up.

Tennessee fielded a team I'm proud of again ... finally.

If you don't feel that way then take your poison elsewhere cause we don't want or need it.

No one is happy with a moral victory. However, if some of you dumbasses can't see the difference in how this team performed today versus how it has performed in the last three years then it's obvious you don't know a damn thing about football.

Actually in just one play a good player pushed himself as far as he could and unfortunately it was just alittle to far. I saw progression and i saw our defense line up wrong and give up a big play.

OK, I have a philosophical question concerning your thread of correction apparently pointed at everyone who was pleased that the Vols showed a lot of moxie, taking the #6 team into OT and nearly winning.

If the idea of a "Moral Victory" such as I laid out above is BS, then where was YOUR praise for our team after last weeks ACTUAL victory. After that game you posted (and I quote)

... "I'm not buying it anymore butch" and "This Team Sucks" ...

in reference to what you considered shoddy on field play. But they WON that game! Winners!!!

Which is it? How you see them play the game or the actual win or loss? Or are you what is known as a "NegaVol" playing both sides of the negative card?

Just askin'. :popcorn:

Guys ignore this dum dum.

He is one of those that said he didn't expect us to win against (one of the losses can't remember) but said he wished they were competitive and gave them a challenge.

Guess we'll never know what he wants to keep him from griping.

He will probably slow down a bit when we "Back Into" 5 consecutive undefeated and unscored upon National Championships. :crazy:

They played a great game! Not a moral victory but as another poster said on another thread, can't remember which one, but this was a MORALE victory! They came so close to beating #6! :] I'm proud of them. They'll watch the film Sunday and see where and what they need to work on. They're growing and they aren't the same team they were before. They're a greater team! So let's quit with the negative energy and start with some positive. ♥ GBO and I'll be seeing the game personally in Knoxville! ♥♥♥

This game, sir, was lost by a bunch of men who played their hearts out and left 100%...ALL of it on that field today.

I would rather lose a dozen games like this than to win with a team that has no soul and no heart.

This loss feels different from the "close" losses in the past 4 or 5 years in that this was an excellently coached, well played football game.

As for you, we care not if you ever show your face around here again...definitely NOT A FAN!!!...good day

We were all proud of dooley his first year vs LSU and we all know the story. Look, it was a great game, that doesnt change the fact that UT lost and had a huge defensive meltdown at the end of regulation. Still waiting for something to be excited about.

Too bad there is not a "thumbs down" button on this site!

You could have made an identical statement in Year 1 under Dooley (LSU game).
Click to expand...

No....totally different scenarios.

LSU played horrible that day and we managed to hang around. Coaching...or the lack of it...lost that game.

Yesterday....for the first time in ages...we dominated an SEC opponent in the second half. Down 17-3....we outscored the Dawgs 28-14. Georgia made the plays at the end and Pig was guilty of not protecting the ball in OT. But we had the better coaching....we made the second half adjustments....we took the fight to them. No more of the passive Dooley BS.

I don't like moral victories, but what I saw yesterday was light years ahead of anything I saw over the last three years.

I'm not jumping on anyone, just stating the obvious. Can you tell me that what I stated is wrong? We should be competitive every game and they should play their hearts out every game. It should be the norm and not the exception.
Click to expand...

Um yeah you jumped on people here because they were glad the game was close by saying a loss is a loss and we shouldn't care if they lost by 43.

When in another thread a few weeks ago all you wanted was for them tto keep it close and be competitive.

So that is what you stated wrong. Don't say one thing one week and come back different and say another. You're being hypocritical so go away please.
