Just curious, going into this season did you see Arkansas as a loss? And did you see Vandy as a probable win but not surprising L? Because I sure didn’t.

Did you see us beating Bama?

Doesn’t matter anyway. I would bet nearly any amount of money that a dude who (if we get to 10 wins this season) averages nearly 9 regular season wins per year at UT won’t go 7-5 next year.

There are posts all over VN right now that make it hard not to despise this arrogant, entitled, half-witted, suicidal fanbase.

I'll just leave this here for the cocksure, impatient dumbasses.

Within 4 years, we're competing with the best teams in NCAAF for the College Football playoff, having spent three years in NCAA violation money-bag purgatory, with the staff having taken over a partial roster after what little talent we'd had jumped off the sinking ship.

And folks are ready to fire staff because we didn't beat a very good UGA team on the road.

Just absolutely brazen, disloyal, entitled dumbassery, and you people should be ashamed of yourselves.

I’m more amazed at the fact that the review booth stopped play more than once to correct a no call. I couldn’t believe that the review booth reversed the “fumble” recovered by Tennessee and changed it to an incomplete pass for uga. That’s the worst part is that they should not have been able to do that. I have not seen that in any other game. Why aren’t they stopping play with the egregious no calls on the uga OL holding our DL?
I can’t remember the other review booth interruption, but it also significantly benefited uga to our team’s detriment. 😡

I think it’s ridiculous that a ball not thrown from an arm throwing motion is considered a “pass,” if the ball is behind the line and is flicked or underhand tossed with two hands etc. anything not an actual downfield throwing motion, should not be called a pass. ( if it’s behind the line of scrimmage )

All legit gripes.

I dont think that Herb is a Georgia fan, but took his commentary during game as Georgia's win is a foregone conclusion. Arrogant presumption that they were going to win.

Well hell what have we seen that would suggest otherwise? Kirby is extremely calm and confident every time they interview him during a Tennessee game. They always win by two or more scores. Even without many key starters (last night) it’s a joke at this point

All this talk about a drop off next season is stupid. We won 9 games last season despite noticeable regression from the offense. With the way Heupel has recruited and the guys they land in the portal, this program should be a stable 9+ win program every year. The discussion needs to focus on how they take the next step forward and quit worrying that we'll go 7-5. Hell, it's not a lock that we don't make the playoffs and finish strong this season. Last night sucked because it was a winnable game and we didn't get it done against the top program in the country...not because we found out we're miles behind after a blowout. Cross your fingers that we make the playoffs and get another shot at UGA.

It’s just disappointing, Georgia without many key starters on OL, RB, Defense and receiver still can’t even get it within 10 points. That’s why everyone’s frustrated Vols have got to do an offseason review of some sort to make it to that elite program level. Starts with recruiting.

I’m honestly not trying to argue, just genuinely curious, outside of that rather impressive LSU road beat down, what other big road game has he won?

Considering our big road games have been against BAMA and UGA and those happen to be two of the top teams in the country, taking LSU in 22 off the table isn’t fair play.

DL was worse than the OL last night. OL wasn’t great and hasn’t been all season but DL was beyond disappointing last night for their expectations. We know the OL isn’t great but they held up better than expected. The safeties are 💩 and defense is vanilla. Mike bobo is garbage as is his quarterback but didn’t look that way last night

Absolutely can call out. That’s why I agreed he had a bad game.

I’m just not ignoring all the good games and saying Vols will never win anything of significance with him as DC.

Well when they do then hit me up. But they won't because after 4 years, it's a trend. He's way over his head. What does he need 8-10 years?

Why would we experience drop off? Nico grew up last night. He lost but he played like a warrior. Peyton Lewis and Bishop are going to be great replacements for Sampson. The WRs have to get better. Heard is getting better while we lose Mays but with Nico progressing that should be a smaller problem than it was a few weeks ago. DBs are babies and our DL while losing Pearce and some others has been a DL by committee.

It was a one score game deep into the 4th. But we clearly need to upgrade talent a multiple positions. WR, OL, LB, S
