Any reason I need to go back and read forty pages?

 

[VolMike16]

I wonder if this kid is one of the four Auburn kids mentioned?

Nice find. I could see it.

He went 8-5 in year two with a top 30 defense.... covid protocols severely hampered this team.... year 4 can be a pretty decent bounce back year.

Let's not forget, a good HC wins 10 that year. Dont forget dropping games to GaSt and byu.

 

[volbeast33]

It should with the schedule but I'm not going to blame covet for no development and we beat teams we were suppose to beat. Still haven't beaten UF, UG, or Bama. But the gap is closing I reckon. lol

I honestly feel like we get a roster that has a strong foundation then we can possibly beat those teams..... it’s definitely a process.

Bless your heart. lol

Bless you lil guy

Well, as some of you may know, I’m going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage. We lost a high 6 figure business in 2019 as well so I’ve been trying to rebuild my life in more ways than 1.

So this Christmas is going to be my first without my family unit in place. I’m okay but it’s sucked pretty bad. The emotions have been off the chart. My parents were going to drive I so I’m not alone but today my mom tested positive for the Vid and they won’t be able to come up. So this Christmas, I’ll have my 2 dogs and probably a lunch at Cracker Barrel. That being said, I’m blessed. Despite all the pain, there’s people out there who have it worst. It’s important to keep a positive perspective. I pray this is the best Christmas for all of you and no matter how bad it gets, choose joy.

Been there but not as many years. As you can see time heals. I pray for you.

I still can't find anything that shows me that Tennessee had stricter rules than other schools. Just doing a Google search of other schools along with missed practices and it seems like if was a pretty big problem everywhere. Schools were canceling entire practices, schools would have lots of kids in quarantine due to contract tracing. It seems to have been a pretty similar problem for several schools.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes. And?

3-7 is irrelevant now

I agree with that but he bounced back..... our roster was really bad when he took over..... he is a young coach rebuilding a roster..... patience would serve us well.

TN biggest problem was the contact tracing. Which not every team participated in. Hubbs, AP and Lewis said this multiple times. Morris missed almost 50 days. I think Wright missed like 40 days. Other guys missed as well. Is it the end all excuse to how poorly we performed? Absolutely not. Did it have an effect? Absolutely.

I will say that I do like the Steele hire and if Pruitt is coming back I hope he can get Garner. Those two I don't think would work with Pruitt if he doesn't let them coach like they have been doing all these years. Pruitt is his own worse enemy sometimes refusing to be a CEO. He needs a little humbleness. That would go a long way as a new young HC.

It was mentioned by volwuest several times.... it was an issue with every school but Tennessee had stricter contact tracing rules.... Pruitt was pissed about it( I know no one care s about that)

 

[Memphisvol87]

Ha if Tank comes, that RB room will be the best in the country imo

seriously? Not even close.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Can someone explain, in this day and age if offense, that defense is what is winning this game for the Bills?

 

[Steelcurtain]

I know...I mean I KNOW it will not happen, but it would be the funniest isht ever if Pruitt is the coach next year and turns this thing around.

It would be absolutely freakin hilarious after all this.

What's gonna really be the most Tennessee thing is we do actually turn this thing around and have a bowl ban on us. Have a crazy good year and still be in misery from no postseason.

I don’t deal in excuses.... I just try to think logically instead of with emotion.

It would help the Ravens if they had an actual QB

Really? I see you making a lot of them for Pruitt

What specific teams didn't participate in contact tracing? I know Missouri did because they had 12 players miss their first game because of it. I know Auburn did because they canceled entire practices due to it. I know Kentucky did it because they would have entire position groups out for their scrimmages due to contact tracing.

 

[Devo182]

Missouri did just fine? I mean that was one of our 3 wins.

With the freshman. He started all the games after us and he averaged 30 ppg and went 5-3.

They went 5-5 with a 1st year HC and freshman qb. And here we went 3-7 in Y3 blaming covid and "a young team" . So yeah, they did fine.

 

[butchna]

Who you hire, b; if he's gone? Your ad, your first call...?

By then Freeze should have enough distance from his transgressions. Napier was up there but he’s just not that into us. Also another season to vett Chadwell.
