Make sure you remind them daily that their signature program wins are keeping other programs out of the CFP.

Then remind them to make sure and put their third place SECE trophy back in their trophy case so it won't look so empty.

This history goes back to the 1970 and 1971 UT vs South Carolina football games which we easily won and the 1970 UT vs South Carolina basketball game when they were #1 in the country and we beat them 20-18 with the Jimmy England led stall ball. My friends endured about 35 years of Volunteer abuse, so when Steve Spurrier came along they stared to crow. They had been gracious losers, but when they started to win they became poor winners.

It will happen. The ebb and flow of games is unpredictable. There will always be games where a team that has no logical or even illogical reason to beat an opponent, then against all odds does just that. Much as it pains me to hurt a fellow Vols fan's feelings, the UT isn't immune to such realities. Memphis had no business beating our Peyton led Vols. The USA hockey team had no business beating that high-powered Russian team at Lake Placid. Reality is an equal opportunity batch. Know Why? She respects NOBODY.

No sorry we don’t. He caused the locker room distraction. The team wasn’t focused. Ask yourself this question. At any point in time last year did we look as bad we did against any other team? Did we look as bad as we did against LSU? UGA? Bsma? UK? Missouri? Clemson? No we didn’t. That game was easily one of the worst games of Heupels career here. And it just so happens to coincide with Banks acting like a little ***ch.
You can forgive him for costing us a spot in the playoffs. But I won’t.

Hope you're not a Christian, cause The Man said something about that kind of attitude. Beyond that, it was a game. If he had built and threaten to set off a cobalt bomb in your basement, kidnapped your kids and BBQ'ed them, or stole your house and sold it to Harold Shipman for a dime and two pennies, I wouldn't blame you for despising him for all time. I wanted us to have a chance at the NCS too. I resent we lost that chance, and it does seem related to JB's behavior. But I, for one, refuse to wallow in a bag of freshly deposited chicken poop. Instead, I look forward to what's to come with Heupel's Heroes. Too bad we got people who demand to hate, refuse to let go of it, and insist on wearing it around their necks in perpetuity. Elsa the darn thing already!

Those were some rough ones for sure, but I was referring to the defensive performance, or lack thereof. Giving up 63 to South Carolina and just the way it happened. I don’t think they punted all game. At least against Wyoming and Memphis, the defense actually somewhat executed, we just couldn’t score. And Georgia State, yeah, we couldn’t even get lined up but we still didn’t give up almost 70.

I think you have to look at the disparity in talent of the Wyoming/Memphis/Georgia St. games though, those teams had nowhere approaching the talent Tennessee had. South Carolina and Tennessee were pretty evenly matched talent wise last year. We were 19th on the team talent composite and they were 21st.

Make sure to bookmark this guy. I don't think there are going to be a lot of games that go that way in their favor for the next several years.

They're probably going to be beaten by UNC to open the season this year. They then get Furman, UGA, and MSU before walking into Neyland to face a team that probably won't have to play safeties at CB. I like Heupel's chances to make an impression... and not call the dogs off like he did two years ago.

Heupel has a smidge of pettiness in him. He’ll embarrass the dirt peckers in Neyland next year. Watch and see.

I get that South Carolina has talent but that was still one of the worst defensive performances I’ve ever seen. Anyway I’m sure the coaches and players learned from it and will pay it back in full during this year’s game. I hope anyway.

It’s a must win game for me. It’s personal. 4 of my best friends from high school went to South Carolina. They are poor winners.

I'm a poor loser. I want to put a beating on them so bad that they want to fight after we put up another TD with .01 on the clock adding fuel to our already 6 touchdown lead.

Could only watch a minute if that. Unfortunately he’s not wrong and all we can do is make it right next year.

South Carolina is relishing in their win against UT because before this season they could feel the momentum shift where we catapault ourseves to the front of the East and they are relegated to the back. This past season doesn't change the inevitable from happening though, just prolongs it another year or two. USCjr is going no where. They will be further banquished to the bottom of the league once expansion happens as well.

The Stone Cold Fact is they have the right to put us in our place until September 30.

USCe and UGA are going to be my first games in Neyland since 2011 when I said no more money until this gets fixed.
I have gone to the Music City Bowl in 2022 and Outback bowl vs Northwestern.
