So you're saying it will be better though? Just not much.

So there is a chance

 

[Coastypop]

Went to sleep @ 34-20. Just woke up. Hope we won.

should have stayed asleep

Vandy pounds Florida.......UK playing Mizz much better than UT........5-7 maybe?

Maybe even 4-8.

I just want us to finish 6-6 and a bowl game and I'll be happy for this year. Next year is a different story. I'm worried about Vanderbilt to be honest. But I can't be so pessimistic, we did lose to two top 10 teams in two weeks with a freshman quarterback who has been pretty solid but hasn't scored. Hopefully that will change.

..."how the Hell did I lose to this crap-ass team"?

 

[GreyWolf1129]

At this point, the math is easy. 4-6, with two to play. The over/under is 5-7. Much like it was back in August. The needle has moved a couple of times since then, but here we are in November, right back where we were when the season started.

6-6 is possible, 5-7 is likely, and 4-8 is also possible. It will come down to defense and special teams. That's what took us out of this game, and if it does not improve, it will take us out of at least one of our remaining games. Simple as that.

Go Vols. The measure of Team 117 will be taken in the next 8 quarters.

Vol nation is saying, "when will this guy get drunk and stop creating several threads with the same theme"

 

[OLW1948]

Probably threw his visor on the ground the second he heard the TN-Auburn score.

So you're saying it will be better though? Just not much.

Same coaching staff, mostly the same players, and a similar schedule. How will it be terribly different?

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Vandy did pound Fl, but they only had 183 yards of offense. FL had 4 turnovers.

 

[InVOLuntary]

So does Butch get a pass if we end up 4-8?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It was an upset, they happen.

Missouri is thinking "Had we not blown a 17-0 4th quarter lead against SC, we'd have clinched the SEC East today."

 

[Volumnus 2011]

I was close.

 

[MedicT]

So does Butch get a pass if we end up 4-8?

In a word? Absofrigginlutely.....hope I spelled that correctly.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Close enough.

 

[agarn59]

what did this defense practice on all week?

It definitely wasn't tackling or angles!

 

[UTVOLKeith]

Bump for comments

 

[orangeluvr]

spurrier is probably saying "Man, I gotta some serious recruitn' to do!"

 

[VolBraniac]

...thank Dear Jesus I didn't offer Worley. epper:

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

What the hell are you talking about?

 

[Coastypop]

So does Butch get a pass if we end up 4-8?

Yes... but he will need to go 8-4 or 9-3 next year if he does

 

[Panthro]

When will people learn that reactions following a game should all go in the game thread? All these superfluous threads make this place intolerable until about Tuesday.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Yes... but he will need to go 8-4 or 9-3 next year if he does

He'll never get 8 wins next year. Probably 6 or 7 is to be expected.
