The Official #6 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[tnvols72]

This is not a tournament team.

not even close

 

[1985Vols]

ok; take it up with Fulk. He was interviewed and said he didn’t eat anything but chicken noodle soup for 4 days and lost weight. So stick that hogwash up your pooter.

Fulky has played like this all year . He has been pushed around in every game that has a big man that weighs more than 225lbs

 

[chuckiepoo]

Whew....acceptance is setting in....We aren't as good as I'd assumed. I get the occasionally unexpected SEC loss but this one looked miserable. Eye test fail.

 

[panhandlevol]

Did Rick Barnes not realize how important it is for the fanbase to get a win after what happened to the football program this week?

I don’t think he’s hardly left his chair tonight the lack of energy is evident

 

[CJBlaze]

What kinda garbage is this? Final four lmao

 

[vavolfan6]

Another sub 20% night from the 3 and 30% night from the field.

 

[CAVPUT]

Well, America is absolutely screwed. Tennessee athletics might as well follow suit.

Tomorrow will be interesting.

 

[wmcovol]

Imagine how stupid Jimmy Dykes feels right now.

 

[tnvols72]

Bwaa-ha-ha! Effing ridiculous, everybody loses

they do , but this team has no offense and its going to cost them more games.

 

[chad954ut]

Bookies might be passing out McDonald's bags

 

[GBO18]

Offense ain’t working. Maybe we should go back to playing inside out.

 

[BreatheUT]

This was a .500 team last year and several guys have not improved.

We thought the freshman class would get us over the hump along with transfers and returning players. It has not played out that way.

 

[VOLED]

It's called want to and heart

100%.

 

[feathersax]

Sloppiest damn team I’ve ever seen!!!

Indeed it was sloppy, but if you'd been a fan for 50+ years...well, it's not a first. NO doubt tonight's game is a teaching opportunity for the VOLS & CRB.

 

[vol94]

I agree with this. A lot of these guys probably don’t realize how bad a Florida, Georgia or Kentucky wants to beat Tennessee, especially a top 10 Tennessee. With that said, we look off tonight and the gators look sharp. It’s a long season and yes, this sucks but I’ll wait and see how it plays out.
GBO!!

True. Bad UT teams have beaten KY over the years. Bad ACC teams beat UNC during their championship runs.

I’m not saying UT is a NCAA championship caliber team, as they aren’t imo, but it’s one game and a bad night for the Vols. My concern is the lack of shooting. We will not win four straight in the tourney with inconsistent shooting.

 

[ndubvols]

Hogwash. You don't go on a liquid diet after having your 3rds removed.

I have no idea if that’s causing any of this whatsoever, but it’s not like you can eat much.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Just looked outside and the sky is falling.

 

[The Dog]

they do , but this team has no offense and its going to cost them more games.

It may, but they will make the Tournament

 

[KB5252]

Spacing is wrong, it's like they aren't running plays out or have no idea what plays they're running.

 

[Doctrippin]

Barnes has said if they shoot like they do in practice they can make it to the Final Four. It's his job to figure out how to make that happen

 

[cncchris33]

This is on the coach tonight. A lot of this is just not ready to play and effort. Those have to be nonnegotiables every game.

This is the most disappointing part. I am ok with losing to more talented teams. I can't accept losing to less talented teams because we were outcoached and unprepared. This is the most embarrassed I've ever been of a Barnes-coached Tennessee team.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Whew....acceptance is setting in....We aren't as good as I'd assumed. I get the occasionally unexpected SEC loss but this one looked miserable. Eye test fail.

Tonight tells me we're not going to have to worry about the SEC Championship now.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Wouldn’t be so bad, ya have these **** games sometimes. It’s why Michigan got blown out, why Arkansas did too.

But for some damn reason our “fans” come into a game thread with other fans to bash our team, the whole damn game.

The hell kind of fan does that? What do you get out of bashing our team and picking fights with other fans? Not bad enough we gotta watch the team get blown out?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This team sucks, hate if you want

 

[BreatheUT]

Gaines playing his a$$ off, deserves more minutes, imo

Lol...no obvious skill that can help
