The Official Tennessee vs. #9 Auburn Game Thread, 12pm ET(11/09/13), ESPN

[DC Vol]

I knew we would probably only be 6-6 but now 5-7 is starting to seem just as likely

You want to see a total collapse? Let Vandy get up and beat us by 20+.

This place will implode.

AU has taken our will. They walked in our house opened fridge drank our beer, kicked our dog, and kissed our wife and grabbed our car keys and drove off.

No he didn't. Kiffin had Fulmers players for our last winning season. Fulmer can not be blamed anymore. It's Kiffin and Dooleys fault.

And the fault of all who insisted on firing Fulmer

Another dose of reality this week, we are slow, we have no depth...and our best players are freshmen. I think we all have to take coaches advice after this on and snap and clear. 2 very winnable games for a bowl game and a 6-6 season, what most thought before the season. Yes it sucks but it's what it is.

I thought we were at least a LITTLE better than Sal's utterly embarrassing defense of last year. But I was wrong: this one is just as bad!

 

[alavolfan]

Well, going to do something productive...watching this ain't it.

 

[firestorm]

Well, we set a record today!

Most points ever hung on us at Neyland and Auburn will have at least 2 more possessions.

At least I got the titans tomorrow, also see thor the dark world so it won't be a complete somber weekend.

Serious question: Are the defensive players tackling in practice? Some of our D looks like flag football. Like, they're diving and grabbing dudes at the belt, rather than trying to, y'know, tackle. It's weird.

i'm guessing that it is the same as last year,with poor angles ,no containment,nobody holding there lanes,i was hoping some new coaching would help

but a lot of them will be gone next year,on both sides of the ball and we shall see where it goes then,i just hope they make a bowl game this year

If CBJ doesn't see that he has problems with his staff after this game, all bets are off

 

[Godfatha]

Well, at least Liverpool won this morning. Guy's I've had enough. Have a good weekend.

Bayern did too. No wonder I started following fussball again.

For all you geniuses that say Jones isn't a good coach, who do you want? I don't know if you remember, but there were a lot of coaches turn this job down

Auburn 55 is the most points put up at Neyland Stadium in history of Vols football.

2013 Auburn - 55
1988 Washington St. - 52
2010 Oregon - 48
1940's Vandy - 45

UNBELIEVABLE.

Still most of a quarter to go. Auburn isn't done scoring.

 

[UTAlum03]

Fulmer started this crap when he got lazy and complacent.

Unfortunately, we thought that the next coach we get it quickly turned around... and here we are 5 years later.

Yep. Until we see a coach- possibly Butch? - with a work ethic and relentlessness to match a coach like Saban, we're not going to see huge improvement, IMO. Fulmer didn't have it anymore. It was time.

i had to reread your post,i thought you said sober

 

[firestorm]

So the hogs are winless in sec games.

Well, going to do something productive...watching this ain't it.

For the last six years I typically watch several minutes in the first half--long enough to see we're going to get whipped again--and then turn off.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't see any way this team wins out.

 

[govols/cc]

For all you geniuses that say Jones isn't a good coach, who do you want? I don't know if you remember, but there were a lot of coaches turn this job down

We knew this before Fulmer was ousted

 

[troj89]

We all know it's unacceptable.. It's time someone does something about it....I still believe in Coach Jones but I don't want to hear the same song and dance this week..

Actually how bad our defense has been the past few years it's not unbelievable.

Amen!!!!
