Man defense.. show some strength

They been done in this game they hate the cold apparently

 

[AntiochVol81]

It’s cold that will be the excuse..

[JMSqb11]

Can't we be happy with being a consistent 10 win program before we worry about firing a guy for not winning a playoff game?

Exactly. If he regresses to the 8-4’s and 7-5’s of the decade of misery, by all means fire him.

But he’s here as long as Nico is the starter. And he’s earned it.

 

[87&91ALUM]

gonna get hammered

I am hammered

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

We are just not prepared. Worst showing all
Year.

Who’s shoulders should that fall on?

 

[DD4ME]

They will hang 50

 

[alavolfan]

I'm not sure where you go after this game. This is the type of loss that destroys all momentum. It is going to sting for alot of fans for a long time.

It should sting for the players too. What an absolute total EMBARRASSMENT!

 

[BreatheUT]

I don't believe we are close after tonight.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Nico can't handle pressure

 

[Dergibvol]

So looks like the teams ranked 1/2 for the whe season will play in the quarterfinals. New system is great.

 

[Voltopia]

Like Ohio State?

LOL okay, so you want him to go to Ohio State? Okay. Sure. That'll help Tennessee. Super. Sounds good.

 

[djohnnyg]

Our guys flat out quit.

 

[Sudden Impact]

nobody really showed up....

 

[djwes]

Just beyond pathetic, no pride, coaching prep was **** like always

 

[TheFlash1971]

Maybe the Citrus bowl vs Illinois would have made us feel like we belonged in the playoffs. LOL

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Zero. He’s your starter the next three years.

Yeah that's what happens now when they're Bought

 

[Jravol78]

You're proof our fans can be the absolute worst. Wtf

I thought mods were supposed to identify obvious trolls .

 

[hound dog hillbil]

What a joke

 

[LLcoolDave]

is this the worst beatdown for a Heupel led Vols team? I don't remember one this bad

 

[Orangecrush#27]

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. N

Our fans deserve better than this **** show. It would be different if this game was close, or a 10 point win. But to absolutely blown out is unacceptable, idc if it’s Josh year 4 he has to do better then this god awful display.

 

[firestorm]

I’m less depressed about tonight’s disappointment because the Men’s Vols basketball is magnificent, also Tennessee did reach the 12 team playoffs even though tonight has been mostly awful.

 

[DD4ME]

Nico can't handle pressure

Not Nico's fault tonight

 

[Frivolous]

I hope G Mac is ready next year. Nico sucks.

 

[utvols74]

Still gots lot of work to do obviously. UT is middle of SEC 10 wins or not. Should be ranked around 17-19. Playing in the Liberty Bowl.
