Some of you are setting yourselves up

You missed the part where we had some breaks go against us, too. Like Pig Watson fumbling the ball, all on his own, less than a yard away from a TD, and the refs missing a blatant hold on Georgia's game-tying drive, only to turn around (on the same play) and nail us with a personal foul.

Also, the special teams TD had a degree of luck, yes, but the special teams were fantastic all game long, so it isn't totally luck when something really good happens.

I don't expect another performance like that one, but it wouldn't shock me, either, because I'm a believer in Butch Jones.

Has Pig Howard changed his name to avoid hate mail? Put that fumble down with blocking our own field goal last week.

That "Pig Watson" fumble would never have happened if we had given the ball to Quinshaun Howard instead.

for disappointment. We lost a game, at home, to a team that lost 4 starting offensive skill guys, DURING THE GAME. And it was a game that you could argue we had some great breaks go our way (special teams score, UGA hitting the goal post)

I'm only saying this because this could and should be a momentum builder-but if people start expecting too much (see NC State last year) the subsequent meltdowns will derail that. Just my two cents after sleeping on it (and getting drunken messages all night from other vols haha)

I might agree with your first paragraph but ga has something we don't.they have depth at every position. Ga losing a few players is not the same as ut losing a few players. No one gave us a pass when we lost hunter against fl. In 2011.

We also showed improvement on off. They didn't lose a player on def. i'm not expecting us to win the rest of our games but i think we can win enough games to go to a bowl. We are getting better.

We lost a game with us having Devrin Young, Marlin Lane, and Curt Maggitt out. And uga had some breaks go their way. Prime example, Pig Howard fumble! Drunken messages only have effect on mushy minds.

Hahaha. I feel dumb. I got Pig mixed up with Q, the guy who left. Thanks for pointing it out!

We have key injuries too drunk OP dude

After South Alabama a bunch of people were posting that we'd only win 4 or 5 games this season. Now people are posting that we'll win 8 games.

The team didn't change that much in one week. Over-reactions to the last game in both cases.

In Nebraska where I live they have a show called overreaction for the Cornhuskers Football.
They should have a NCAA Football Monday morning qb for overreaction.

Great point.....we were without players as well. And it hurt us more.....because we don't have the depth that Ga has. I got sick everytime the CBS guys over and over again showed how many players ga was without....and never a mention of us.
