I just texted an OU friend: The program is being over-managed. It's a cash cow and PR and PC concerns have taken over. Not sure how the Vols come out of the tail spin. The game in Norman next year is just not big enough to start sand-bagging now. ;)
 
Still in shock, so this may be a dumb question. Have we had a worse loss in program history?

I've been skeptical of Pruitt, but my definition of skeptical was he'll never win the SEC or he's too green to learn on the job in the SEC or he'll be a perennial 8-4 type coach and have this program in a spot to hire a championship coach in 5 years. Never ever dreamed he couldn't have a team ready for GA State.

Still, he's a sophomore coach in the toughest conference. This could be a low point in a decent future career, but his seat rose in temperature, even if it's just a little.
Oh, if he’s not firmly on the hot seat, the problems in the AD still go much higher than the football coach.

Not saying he’ll be fired this year or that he can’t rebound this season, but that seat needs to have some thermal properties right now.
 
How can a team not be ready to play week1? That's what really bothers me with UT, how can you come out flat. As fans, we were ready for today since last year. We brought more emotion than the team.

It bothers me too that weren't ready to play. Head-scratcher. But the fans didn't have much emotion either. I mean those in the stands. Our job is to make as much noise as we can for as long as we can. That's all we can do, but we can do that. We didn't. I understand we were deflated early. But we can't expect the players to fight through it, yet quit ourselves.

This was a poor, pathetic performance by everyone involved. Coaches, players, fans. Oh yeah, the officials had a couple of poor plays too.

The good news: I'm hopeful it can't get any worse. I'm not as optimistic it'll be a good year, but surely not worse.

This is accurate. The refs absolutely did not lose this for us but they were terrible spotting the ball all game.
