The Official #9 Tennessee @ #8 Ohio State Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ABC/ESPN

Why do I look forward to UT football every season?

Because you are hopeful it won’t be a huge disappointment even though that has remained the consistent flaw for more than 10 years after the Fulmer era much like Hollywood consistently decided to make poorly made unfaithful video game movies before finally the tide turned mostly with the Tomb Raider reboot by making a faithful well made adaptation with others following including (2023 Super Mario Brothers.
 
I have been following UT for 62 years and that was the worst post season performance I have seen. Totally unprepared on both sides of the ball. Every pass play OSU ran was wide open, every runner was untouched at the LOS. Our offensive line was crushed on every down and they took it like whimps. I saw 2 complete pancakes and they ran around #74 like he was invisible. The coaching staff was bitch slapped over and over. Nico was playing alone out there.
 
Why pay all this $ to coaches to look completely unprepared for a playoff game? I didn’t expect we’d win but I hoped they would least show up and play hard.

Just f n pathetic, nauseating hot garbage.

Completely outclassed in talent & coaching.

I’d almost Tenn stop playing football and invest the $ in other sports.

If you’ve been heavily drinking and are currently “drunk”, refrain from posting dumb stuff. It was a bad loss tonight and it’s ultimately up to Heupel to learn from this and fix it. But praising the death of herbstreits dog and other crap like that is childish and absolutely ridiculous.

Can’t wait for Fortnite
 
It did seem a lot this year that Nico had too much going on in his head. I imagine with the helmet mic they are confusing the hell out of him
I recall we said the same thing about Joe Milton, that he couldn't make the reads in the offense fast enough. Now Nico can't either and we said he's young and he'll get better.

At some point, maybe it isn't the QBs.
 
I appreciate your good sportsmanship.

It was @3 weeks ago when I was cursing Ryan Day and Chip Kelly for the dumbest game plan in Ohio State history. So I know how frustrating it is when the team you're rooting for is (seemingly) kneecapped by the coaching staff and/or doesn't bring its 'A' game in an important game. Comes with the territory, I suppose.

I'm old enough to remember watching Nebraska beat Tennessee & Peyton Manning in the Orange Bowl to win a share of the 1997 national championship. I also remember Tennessee winning it all the following season. Keep supporting your team no matter how maddening it is at times.
 
Maybe it would help to design some passing routes and use downfield passes next year. Get some real WRs, a genuine OC, a decent OL coach and some players who can do more than lie on the ground like it's a hospital ward, a DB coach and open spring practice with QB competition. And try to get some LB help in the portal.

And maybe no more "anywhere anytime" talk unless you can back it up.

I completely agree with everything you said including don’t write the big checks unless you can back it up.

The Vols need magnificent WRs that can challenge Ohio State, and other heavyweight teams.
 
Glad it’s over. Season was a tease. Deep down we all knew what was gonna happen though. Maybe not like this but not surprised.
I was curious as to what everyone thought of the atmosphere in The Shoe and also your time in Columbus? I’m not here to rub in the game and I know this is not the outcome you were hoping for. Man, I know how it feels after the UM game, but was just curious how your first trip to The Show was? I wish Tennessee nothing but the best of luck next season, and hope we can run into each other at another time! You guys have an amazing fan base!
