Too little too late. Wonder if Pittman gets another season? FWIW they say he is one of the nicest most likable SEC coaches. I also think Arky is one of the toughest SEC jobs with their lack of proximity to talent compared to the rest of the conference. His downfall was cemented when his good coordinators left to take other jobs.

Seems like we are the casualty of too much money to be made. SEC wants at least one team in the playoffs. With Georgia's soft schedule and other conferences looking better, they are going to cheat to make sure we have an east and west team undefeated in conference in the championship game. Watch as LSU gets screwed by Bama favoring refs when they go off the bye. And Georgia is going to be a world beater against Florida, with help from refs.. I'm watching with interest to see if my predictions come true.

Thank you! Finally somebody gets it.

The SEC was never going to allow us to beat one-loss Alabama and thus remove them from the playoffs. It's all about making the most money for the conference by guaranteeing that the SEC has at least one team in the playoffs, and hopefully two.

Those of you wanting Tennessee to move to another conference need to go watch the end of the Texas-Houston game yesterday. Houston was driving with only a few minutes left, and only needed 7 pts. to tie the game. They ran the ball on third down to the 9 yd line for a first down. Instead, the zebras spotted the ball one-half yard short. On multiple replays the forward progress clearly made the 9 yd line - both announcers agreed that it should have been a first down. Then on 4th down Houston failed to get the first down - game over. The Houston coach was livid.

Houston's mistake? Having a 3-3 record and playing one loss Texas, who still has a chance to make the playoffs.

What exactly is there to be displeased about with us in basketball or baseball? Don’t get it. We should be a favored program in both of those sports with how well we’ve performed.

Never forget how much they hate us, still, for Schiano. The powers that be (and, their media) said, "it's this way", and we said no. They don't like that. Basketball and baseball are just collateral damage, with baseball and Tony V just adding to that hate.

We didn't get conservative. The defense adjusted to our QB not being a threat to light them up. Joe running delayed that a bit and was one of the best things he did for us all game but at some point it becomes clear to defenses that our passing game doesn't exist and that takes everything else away.

He threw for 271 yards and two TD.

Yeah that’s very telling of why we are handicapped right now. On Joe Milton’s best day...

None of the things you snipe about mattered one iota. It was televised racketeering, not a football game. Bama's OL held every down. Joe's did not. Apples and oranges. You didn't even notice the stolen TD pass we suffered in the first quarter on an uncalled blatant defensive holding on our receiver in the endzone. You repeat your tired old mantra regardless of circumstance. These circumstances were rigging on a truly historic level.

Our wide receiver group will be improved next year...... Got some young guys contributing that we didn't intend on using so much.

We need to beef up the o line but with immediate needs dictate the portal is needed there.

Need TE as well.

Offense will be ok if we can get the o line upgraded.

We need more interior D linemen for sure. Other than that I think we will be ok at LB and in the secondary.

He had a decent game but his inability to be a consistent down field threat shuts down a lot of our offense. Defenses adjust to that and know the key to stopping us is slowing down or stopping the run. They're willing to give up 271 yards via the air because that's not where we've been getting the job done. Stop the run and Tennessee is left with FGs.

21st in the AP, 20th in the CP

Glad we didn't fall further.

Hard to beat the other teams AND the zebras. Pollsters are probably aware of that.

With scheduling about to get all effed up, do we play Bama in Neyland next year? If we do, I hope we come back strong and go in dry on Saban.

That spot on 3rd down cost us the 4th down conversion. Not that it ultimately had an impact after the INT, but it was a garbage spot (not sure if reviewable, but).

Refs are just in general are awful at spots
But when you have time to spot (and it's reviewable?) then you have to do better. The one thing they got right was getting the clock right at the end of the first half. 21s vs 42s

Lol. I don’t ever post but this is becoming the “football forum”. Everyone here prides themselves on not being that. Let’s abide. The sky isn’t falling. Heupel is our guy. We sucked second half. We are ahead of schedule

You should post more to level out some of the ignorance in here lol
