Reality Check for the upset minded.

[Christian Lowe]

The last time Tennessee won a true road game that wasn't Vandy, Memphis or Kentucky was against Mississippi State in 2007.

Oklahoma is just a tad tougher than that, so the last time Tennessee beat a ranked team on the road was 2006 against #9 Georgia.

The 2007 Vols were 10-4 with an SEC East Championship.

The 2006 Vols were 9-4, 9-3 in the regular season.

Do you guys still think we will win? Statistics say hell no.

Remember when we complained about 9 or 10 win seasons? Now, we would all give first born kids for one.

What is this reality u speak of

I remember crying (I was 9 at the time) when we lost the 2004 SEC Championship. How the mighty have fallen.

This is a football game not a math test. What's on paper doesn't mean sh*t!!!

We ain't going to just lay down. We are going to hit them right in the mouth and then tell them thanks for coming out.

Nega please

He's right though.

 

[roddo518]

So, according to your logic we will never win another game versus a ranked team on the road. Just say how long it's been since we did it.

 

[Christian Lowe]

He's right though.

I've seen you catch flack for your realistic views. I haven't said so, but I like a lot of what you say as well.

 

[majorvol]

Reality what's fun is that.

Not never, just not now or this season.

Wow... You're only 19? Do you even know what reality is yet? Nothing in life is fluid and nothing is guaranteed... There's always a chance, and hope (S. Carolina last year). Hopefully the 19 year old kids playing this game don't believe in the same reality as yourself :hi:

Y'all should hold hands and skip down the street.

We don't need a reality check from a 20 yr old about UT football.

 

[Aesius]

We're all (well, most of us) aware of how much and how long we've sucked, thank you very much.

Why does my age matter? Football doesn't require a degree.

I remember when 7-4 was a failure season :/

Yes.

I'm 35ish..I don't get the Alabama hate because I grew up with UT beating that ass..so the "veterans" might not see the teams performance like I do..

 

[rckytp10]

Thanks for the reality check! I can see it clearly now. We will not win Saturday because completely different teams, from previous years, compiled of different players, and a completely different coaching staff have lost road games. It makes sense now..

 

[roddo518]

Well, he is right. Just look at Va tech they haven't won versus a ranked team of significance for ever it seems. Then they got smashed by Ohio state this year...oh wait. Nevermind my post.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Welp, wish I could get back the time it took me to read the OP.

None of this is a news flash.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

I find my reality as a Vol fan at the bottom of a bottle these days.

Ohio State also should've lost to Navy. I don't know why people give that win credit, Ohio State looks like garbage this season.

 

[BearCat204]

I don't think there's really much of a chance of an upset, but why feel the need to try and set people straight with a "reality check"? If your trying to make yourself sound less pathetic than people who think we beat OU by 20, you're doing it wrong.

TN 41
OU 14

Soneone forgot to tell the freshmen to lose.
