I knew we've lost a lot so far with a good chance at losing a couple more key contributors.

I was just hoping we had picked up a few, were going to be razor thin in a lot of positions and severely defecient at a few key positions. It's going to be ugly and likely just when we get a little depth we'll get hit with sanctions.

Is what it is though.

The only transfer I know we definitely picked up is the QB, Hooker. Like I said, uncertain on Big Kat.

I can tell already that night shift will be snoozing their way through it. We need something to happen - like staff hiring announcements leading up to a surprise or two on NSD.

A lot of talk about heupel losing 4 games this year but looking back he easily could have been more wins

They got beat good by BYU in bowl game. Which I think is his only double digit loss as a Hc.

Lost to Cincinnati by 3. UCF Led that game going into 4th Qtr when a interception led to a go ahead Cincy TD to take first lead of game. We all saw Cincy was legit vs UGA.

Lost by 1 to Memphis in a game they led until final minute and they should have still won but missed FG from 22 yd line on final play.

Lost by 8 to Tulsa. Led going into 4th Qtr. Had ball driving to the Tulsa 23 on final drive then a holding penalty made final play be from 33 with I believe a 10 second run off.

So in 2020 everyone points to some big drop off but 3 of the 4 games were one possession games and your really an interception or a defensive stop vs Cincy and a made FG vs Memphis away from 8-2.

Watched the Memphis game. UCF had that one won. Better QB play and even a top 80 defense and they would have been 8-2, 9-1.

I hope you’re right. Worried we’ll get to February and we’ll see TN with the 25th ranked class

This will be our worst class under JH. Going forward, he and the staff will be able to build relationships with the upper level athletes we will recruit, and they’ll also get an idea of what the new UT looks like... weather the storm!

I think any surprises would have to come from the portal. The only surprise I could see from NSD would be Malone, and I don't see that happening.

That would be my worry is does he tired out his defense in those losses. But he would also have future ability to have more depth at this level.

Tennessee can recruit that’s all that matters. We just need to get to spring practice and start creating some buzz. It’s hard to right now.

Aside from Jones first class, we have always done that with some well known SEC recruiters on staff. If we don’t add a couple of those in the remaining positions, I’m not sure that will be true.

I really think we are ok right now as long as we don’t lose any more.... I don’t feel the offensive guys hurt us that much.... it would be nice to get too too and crouch back.... secondary is probably the thinnest but not completely bare..... need some guys to step up.

Not a choice. I really want to believe we'll be good again. I don't want to feel crappy every time I think of UT football. But right now, it makes me sad. UT is in my blood. It's never been a choice.

I been a UT fan since my childhood and through my years of playing football in my High School days. Remember meeting Carl Johnson and Curt Watson. But it is a choice on how we let things affect our emotions. I was so let down when the hire came out like everyone else but after processing it and getting over that and looking at our new coach I really have hope now. He has HC experience and a wide open O going to be fun. I am hoping to win the games we are suppose to won and one upset. Let's give Heupel a full year to recruit cause he is going to be here for a while. So I am chosing to believe until he shows me he can't get the job done.

I can't escape this feeling of dread that the next few years are going to be really, really bad. I hate feeling this way.

Can BVS be terminal?

Really, really bad was what we got this year. Shouldn’t be any expectations for at least next year, so everything positive that we get is icing. It’ll get better eventually.

Realistically is CJH the answer? Probably not. But he’s here now so just support man. Have fun and hope we set records (the good kind)

We suck so bad it brings me to tears, players leaving like rats off of a sinking ship, hiring Colgate’s recruiters, sanctions looming, hipster doofus looking coaching staff... yet my addicted orange blood just bought two new UT hats.

This is me. I keep waffling between dread and trying to talk myself up. I love UT football, but right now, it hurts.
