About to sail away in a couple hours...I will be offline for a few days until we get to St Thomas, so I won't be able to celebrate our great victory with you guys. I will be with you all in spirit though.

We (this long suffering faithful fanatical fanbase) deserve a great moment. I hope we pull it off and tell all the scumbags trying to screw us out of the playoffs and put a Alabama team we beat in over us to go screw themselves.

Go Vols...win it for the Captain of the Cheerleaders and the sweetest person on VN!

Our fans deserve this win, no doubt.

Safe travels!

Sometimes I quietly wonder, how in the hell did we lose to Arkansas?

Solid team, but also under Heupel:

13-3 in the SEC at home

But 6-8 on the road


Neyland may just be that good. Or road games in the SEC are just that hard. Probably a bit of each.

Yeah, it will be tougher than usual on the road and vs that defense, unless our offense can win field position consistently (non-scoring drives). Have to avoid 3 and outs. Otherwise they may have short fields, can't allow them gimmes like we have in past years.

Texas has the best defense in the conference and struggled at home. We have to be like UF and OM and absolutely stay in Beck's face all night. Which we haven't done consistently (but seem to do very well later in games). Have to bring that disruptiveness for 60 minutes.

We can not get holding and false starts and stay behind the chains.

Green played lights out against us. Dropped dimes all night.

A VN tale as old as time...a 50% passer that can't hit the broad side of a barn having a career game against us in which he literally can't miss and throws strikes all night until we knock him out of the game...and then the back up comes in and all sorts of weird stupidity happens.

It is why BVS will never go completely away...it's like malaria.

Just remember, only 1 team stands tall when it’s all said and done, so while I get BVS, pretty much every team gets stuck in that rut of what if.

Oline has been much better since that game. Lance Heard was on roller skates all night.

Squirrel White also cost us that game. Didn’t field the punt, then dropped a first down throw. Just way too many mistakes cost us

Yep...just a series of unfortunate events and situations.

Lady Vols drop 109 and win and the handwringers are out in Facebook comment sections about Liberty scoring 90.

A double digit win is a double digit win.

An actual comment: "Vols are lucky their threes were dropping. If they had missed 6 threes Liberty would have won by 8."

I'm not even joking.
