still have 4th qtr for more embarrassment.. I would guess Day is gonna remind everyone with all the trash talk.. I can’t remember but was it Lou Hiltz he flapped his gums about not long ago?

 

[djwes]

This is a problem with Huepel teams since he’s been here. We suck on the road, especially at night!

Fully agree if you can’t win on the road, you’re not worth a ****

 

[Frozevol]

10 wins and a playoff appearance is not something I expected this year. We replaced our entire secondary and lost some key guys.

Good season boys.

Next year is going to be a similar effort. Hopefully the SEC continues towards mediocrity.

 

[Volhoops]

Very simple....OSU had "fire in belly", TN did not.

TN never has fire in the belly. They start every game flat.

 

[onevol74]

We look like we don't even belong in the CFP man. So hard to watch.

Exactly what I am thinking. Not on the same level. Team is soft and if we did not have Neyland Stadium we would probably be 6-6.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

#66 just got Beaten like a drumb

 

[NATHAN05]

10 wins and a playoff appearance is not something I expected this year.

Good season boys.

Good season........horrendous playoff showing. Out coached and stage too big

 

[tbh]

Two weeks to prepare

Didn't we have a bye prior to Arkansas this year? (I may be misremembering)

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

How many coaches are let go after this season

We must replace the offensive line coach.

 

[MurphyVol]

Calling the shot now. This team will not make the playoff next year.

Really going out on a limb there pal LOL

 

[Caz]

I rather lose in the first round of the playoffs then win a meaningless bowl game though

Difference in losing as opposed to being embarrassed though. I do get your point

 

[Carl Pickens]

Truth is…. This staff has probably gotten as much as they could out of this group. The Oline has zero depth and is average…. The receivers cannot get open and the depth at LB is lacking as well.

 

[BiggsVolFan]

The way we have played, we deserve it. The **** our fans talk and that's the result when it blows up in your face

They earned the right to chant whatever they want ... Just not against Michigan .

 

[BleedOrange81]

Is it the wr coach or scheme?

Coaching, talent and scheme..it’s everything.

 

[VOLLeeann]

Embarrassing

Pull your pants up!

 

[GAVol]

We are trash at tackle

It’s unbelievable how bad it’s been.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

If you don't think it matters think again. Look at all 4 games none of them close. If you think Notre Dame and PSU and OSU would win on the road well we won't know this year but Tennessee better think twice about who they invest in. Coaches, players etc because the program is being embarrassed again.

I feel so bad for the people who went to Columbus. The fans wrote a check that the team couldn't come close to cashing.

Tennessee better seriously consider their next steps.

 

[MDsweetT]

2 big games against good teams, 2 absolute failures by the DL. Overrated as crap.

But I think it also shows if our DL isn’t dominant, our secondary can’t hold up. It’s a snowball effect. Tonight hurts. I really thought this team would win. Totally unprepared and inept. Facemask was just the first self inflicted wound.

Y’all remember this defense against Bama? We were locking down. I know OSU has weapons but we’ve had no answers.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

I said "high class" mediocrity. Which means we'll win a lot of games. Just not a lot of games that matter. Tonight's game mattered the most and we folded like a cheap tent. It comes down to players and the reality is this staff is not consistently recruiting at an elite enough level to compete with a team like OSU.

We're in the playoffs in his 4th year. Just a dumb take.
It should lend you to think it would only get better with more recruiting.We made the playoffs with a Frosh QB

 

[BP4Prez]

Won't be favorite against Oregon

I think they will be

 

[Cartervol]

Give Huep a raise and an extension

This

Football is 4 quarters. We are 0-4 against Georgia and Uncle Lou trolls us every year. I will be happy when we can finally shut his butt up.

B1G owns us now too. Michigan won National and B1G dominated playoff. SEC looks stupid and Sankey does as well.

Sankey is a f---king idiot for agreeing this BS..

 

[mpfvol]

Great play call by Ohio state. Nice to see different packages… for you know, a playoff game.

Yep Vols do the same stuff every week even if it isnt working just keep doing it .

 

[bullman64]

Nico is gonna have to hire 2 motherf@#$%ing tackles or he isnt gonna live to enjoy his money

 

[Voltopia]

Odds nico transfers?

What does it matter? Half the people on here say he sucks anyway, so why would it matter?

 

[BleedOrange81]

And 23 million dollar roster. They’re mercenaries.

Going to play gotta pay..
