Year isn't over. The toughest teams are behind us. I see a path to a playoff game. Georgia game at home will be difficult but not impossible

Not a snowballs chance that a 2 loss team makes the playoffs this year. Of course, it's more likely than UT winning out.

Kentucky sucks, Missouri always loses late in the year, don't tell me vandy wins. I concede Ga will be tough but we have them at Neyland. Even if Ga gets the sec east they will lose. I believe that there is a chance. If we had not lost to the camehocks last year we would have been in the playoffs. Normally I would agree about a 2 loss team, but everybody sucks this year

I believe that Milton is better than Beck at Neyland. They have no running game, they are not the game I am looking at. Florida and Missouri could beat them and then we lead the east with a few wins going into November. I just believe

I think you are correct.
Going forward, Milton shouldn’t see the field unless absolutely necessary. We may as well get Nico ready for the future since Danny White and CJH have given up 2023. As bad as I hate to admit, I believe (after seeing what I witnessed tonight) they are all in on the future, and completely content, with Alabama being the SEC West contender for this year. I have zero hope to win against UGA this year, in my mind UT (from the administration through the Athletic Department) is completely content with a 9-3 record.
Prove me wrong, it isn’t happening, regardless of home field advantage vs. UGA. UT is happy with 9-3 or maybe 8-4 for this year.

So road games vs Kentucky and Missouri are going to be wins no matter what ?

Alabama is the only SEC school to lead Tennessee in both the football and men's basketball series proving that they are a tough draw in any major sport.

Hate to ask this but does anybody think that JH is looking like a one hit wonder (2022)?

Hate to admit the tbought has crossed my mind. Other people I watched the game with are starting to think the same thing. Heupel only has himself to blame for sticking with Milton.

I didn’t say that but I hope so . My point is we are not relevant in the big picture. Kentucky and Missouri are in the same boat.
I’m not sure wins or losses in those game factor much.
Does that answer your question?

So sick of this childish argument. We were out scored 27-0 in the second half. It wasn’t all refs.

It’s not a childish argument. It’s stating the fact and the answer to what gave an extra advantage on the scoring play or extending the drive. Regardless they lost the game, but doesn’t mean an opinion can’t be discounted including yours. This forum is an outlet to vent some frustration dude.

LOL…SERIOUSLY? They are ranked #1 and I’ve watched them beat some really good teams. The SEC hates Tennessee and the officiating yesterday is proof. If, big if, we get a lead in the UGA game, no doubt the flags are coming out.

Everyone I know watching the game called the officiating “rigged” against Tennessee. Officials called Bama for one 5 yard penalty? They were one of the most penalized coming into the game. Horrible calls on our defense, that missed PI where Bama tackled our receiver, and the fair catch call was ridiculous. The impact of these bad or “no calls” easily gave the advantage to Bama. CJH and the UT Administration has to take this up with SEC and NCAA. I watch games these days just to see how lousy the officiating can get. Somewhere someone is making a fortune off this officiating.

I understand that. But it’s always this excuse. We make fun of other fan bases that use this, yet we use it every week. I agree there were atrocious calls. Regardless, good teams fight through and find a way to win. We didn’t do that. We had the potential to take the air out of that stadium early and go up 21-0. We didn’t do it. We had the ability to fight back after bama hit us in the mouth coming out if halftime. We didn’t do it. We had the ability to score some points in the second half. We didn’t. We could’ve played defense better the second half. We didn’t. We could’ve coached better the second half. We didn’t.

So sick of hearing the referee scapegoat excuse. Excuses are everywhere in life. Excuses are easy. Ownership isn’t.

Ok let me ask. When Bama rotates off the schedule do you want to schedule them as one of the weeks when TN can select their opponent. Do you want to add Bama in that situation ? We can play 8 SEC games plus Bama on those years and just 8 SEC games when they are on the SEC schedule. If the tradition of the 3rd Saturday in October really means something then why would anyone not want to do this.

I have lived in Bama all my life, so I can't speak for everyone. This game means the most to me. I want to play them every year. Things will eventually turn around.
