It's the legion of the miserable in here! I'm leaving for Disney tomorrow...can't wait! Some of y'all would make all of the happiness at that place disappear.

I think JRM could have helped himself the most by coming back. But, I agree in general.

It's about time you need a new avatar bro. Should swap out that Pig Howard for Tyler Byrd.

LMAO I haven't been on volnation on full mode in so long, so I barely see my avy
I will definitely make a new avy. Most likely Jauan or Gaulden

I don't think people are angry at the loss. People are angry because it brought back memories of 3, 4, 5, 6 years ago. Last year we had hope the the gap was narrowing. After that game some think the gap is back to Dooley years wide. Not saying that is the case just making an observation.

And if those people can't understand that the beatdown against Alabama was greatly exacerbated by rampant injuries to many of our most important players then that is on them for lacking the ability to think critically. We pulled our roster out of the gutter and had our starting lineup prepared to match up with upper echelon programs. Our depth is obviously not to that point yet. Our depth is still at the point where it can't compete against the depth of Alabama. And it sure as hell isn't too the point that our depth can compete against a healthy Alabama roster.

Yep. Fans finally dared to believe... and got sucker-punched. We all thought the years of historically bad losses were behind us, then Team 120 broke a 110-year-old record and another 30-year-old one to the downside. A respectable loss wouldn't have shaken the faith, but a humiliating loss like this has many questioning the program and some of the decisions that have been made.

which decisions?

Would be interesting what the mood would be in here if that A&M kicker shanked one more FG in OT.

Instead of being back to the Dooley years we'd be deciding if we were a 2,3 or 4 seed once we won out.

SMH y'all swing way too up and down

Hardly saw any complaints about the loss to A&M last week. If we had competed on any level I think the fans would have understood given the injuries. Right or wrong, the game came across as very unprepared, poorly coached team.

Or it was an average game plan with vast injuries to key players on a team that was mentally and physically exhausted facing its 4th straight ranked opponent. It's 18-22 year olds with more of them being 18-20. It happens every single week in college football.

Is it a requirement for people to lose all rational thinking when dealing with difficult circumstances involving UT football. For The love! Our terrible luck with injuries is the fault of the strength coach?!? Do you even pay attention to what injuries the players have and how they sustained those injuries before you spot off this ignorance?
Click to expand...

The majority of people on here lose all sense of rational thought when it comes to UT football.

A good rule of thumb is things are never as good as they seem on here and never as bad as they seem on here. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

So report from Volquest on the radio just now said we should expect everyone back on the OL next week, and Mcdowell and Kirkland back on defense. Kamara and Sutton hopefully back for the last two games.

Been gone for a few days. I read this page and noticed the reference to an injury to Kamara. Can somebody give me the Cliff's Notes so I don't have to search around? It sounds bad.

Much appreciated.

Healthy OL and Kirk/McDowell back by SCjr makes me feel a whole lot better.

It's John Kelly time

"multiple knee injuries" not an ACL, supposedly. Never know with this staff though

Gracias. I need to catch up on it.

The injury issue with the players in this program is weird. Coaches don't help the situation. Information seems to be incomplete or inaccurate.

It's all very strange.

So we are going with this lineup into South Carolina:

QB - Dobbs, Dormady
RB - Hurd, Kelly, Fils-aime
WR - Malone, Jennings, Smith, Byrd, Johnson
TE - Wolf, Croom
LT - Kendrick, Richmond
LG - Robertson, Boulware
C - Thomas, Wiesman
RG - Wiesman, Jones
RT - Hall, Thomas

DE - Barnett, Kongbo, Phillips
DT - Vickers, Phillips, Mixon
DT - Tuttle, Picou, Kongbo
DE - Vereen, Lewis
OLB - McDowell, Berry
ILB - Kirkland, Jumper
CB - Moseley, Buchanan Martin
CB - Foreman, Buchanan, Martin
NG - Gaulden, Foreman
S - Kelly Jr
S - Abernathy, Warrior, Berry


If true, we will roll. Getting the OL and LBs healthy are key.

Disney is a huge waste of money, overcrowded and overrated. Do you feel validated? Enjoy the trip. :hi:

This will be our 3rd time in less than 2 years. We love it and is worth every penny. We are DVC members now. If you can't go there and enjoy yourself, and especially the reaction of your kids or grandkids meeting their favorite characters, then you truly are miserable.

VH, not directing this at you...unless you are one of those people. :)

We will also have Kirkland, Foreman, and Abernathy healthy... we can still go 10-2, we just need to be smart about it...

Georgia ran all over South Carolina. Even with Kamara out, Dobbs, Hurd, and Kelly will have a huge day on the ground vs them.

That depends on what kind of running plays we call, and whether or not Dobbs keeps the ball on the read.
