We are 2 yrs ahead of where we should be.

Not on defense. We've made modest gains.

 

[UTProf]

We quit and that’s scary going into next week.

I don't think we quit but our defense is that bad when they don't play with some heat. We needed Banks' fire. We don't have another alpha firing guys up the way he does.

 

[berryvol]

This will be a fun post to bump when we do go.

You’re crazy. LSU will go when they lose the SECCG. If they win, they’ll probably take bama. Go ahead and bump if I’m wrong, not like I’m gonna be mad we’re going to a better bowl lol

 

[Weezer]

well, that's enough Twitter and Reddit tonight

Might just want to stay on here and argue with and/or comfort each other

Nightmare evening, really blew it in so many ways

I call little spoon!

 

[Smokey123]

It does not ****ing matter if we’re ahead of schedule. If we won 10 games. If we go to the sugar bowl. If we broke all the offensive records. That does not change the fact we just got our doors blown off by a 22 point underdog with a playoff on the line. Out coached, inexcusable, worse loss in Tennessee history. Embarrassing and the season is over

What are you thinking?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this has something to do with the Banks situation going beyond him just being out.

I have thought the same. This was a different team. SC played perfect, but we were not the same team. Banks is a wild card

 

[tnhunter 10]

The only good defensive game our secondary has had was KY. 1 game.

I think there’s more fire to the Banks ordeal than what’s known. The same defense that had a walk-on CB stopped Alabama yet let Rattler spin it like that & the same Defense that has pressured a QB more than 10 times a game had 3 tonight with one sack against the worst offensive lines in the Conference. It’s a known fact that our defense is trash but not give up 60 to a absolutely abyssal offense.

 

[Revived2002]

I 1000% agree with this

Just like Heupel told the team they should enjoy the big wins, they need to soak in the pain from this one for a bit

 

[Gilbert]

Very reminiscent of Butch at Vandy with a chance at the sugar.

Goes without saying but super disappointing.

 

[volbeast33]

There’s no way you just watched the same game I did… if you give up 63 to a team UF only gave up 6 to, heads need to roll… Gave up 63 to a team that only scored 6 on UF which turned around and lost to Vanderbilt

I think over reactions are bad and stability is important…. If Heup feels someone is not getting the job done then I am ok with him making a move… it all depends on how he feels about the talent they have available.

I dont know how bama would pass us when we will have the same record with the head to head win.

Rumor on TOS is discontent regarding who is getting NIL and that said discontent became or got close to becoming physical.

No one on defense deserves NIL after a game like that.

Same defensive liabilities as last year. We can’t afford to try this again next year. If banks is calling the right plays then we need athletes to execute. Martinez is a no brainer to fire. Our defensive backs always give up big plays when he’s coached us.

This season pivoted instantly didn’t it.

Playoffs...

It would not surprise me at all. Jealousy can bring lots of division. I know of one P5 staff that talks to team regularly about NIL inequality to try to head off jealousy and bickering.

 

[jordan4vols]

Has the rumor on vq about Banks going after Hooker and not attending class and that’s the reason for his absence been discussed?

 

[GoBigOrange86]

This season pivoted instantly didn’t it.

I have absolutely no info beyond that and am skeptical. It sounds a bit like cope but who knows.

Lmfao basically the opposite.

Literally none of your wet dream happens if not for us having the most INSANELY absurd regular season in many, many decades.

Smdh.

What a wild season. And we still have 10-11 wins and a NY6 Bowl ahead of us! After being 7-5/8-4 preseason (7.6 wins to be exact).

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Rumors on social media that he was not getting paid as much as others and he got into a altercation with teammates over it.

This type of **** screams Butch 2.0

 

[berryvol]

I dont know how bama would pass us when we will have the same record with the head to head win.

For starters, they didn’t give up 10000 points to South Carolina. Not sure you’ve been paying attention for the last 10 years, but they also seem to get preferential treatment in situations such as these. The cherry on top? We still have a game left to play with our bum ass defense and without our best player.

If true, NIL is ruining CFB. Always gonna cause friction with players and teammates when one thinks he isn’t being paid enough

 

[rocktopper16]

Are we at the “let’s air dirty laundry” part of our program?

Air dirty laundry? If it’s true than we have a much bigger problem on our hand than playing football.
