The Official Tennessee vs. #9 Missouri Game Thread, 7:00pm ET(11/02/13), ESPN

[Gavolboy]

Hope and belief are different things. I hope we get better week after week, but don't believe we will.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The problem is most of our fan base has unrealistic expectations. Maybe we'll be good in a couple of years

Unreasonable expectations? Really is it too much to ask to be remotely competitive against a team that we should be similar to from a talent standpoint?

 

[top5vols]

2nd team D hitting now.

 

[DC Vol]

Well thanks Mizzou for not running up the score on our helpless asses

Which is pathetic that we know they'll just run the ball and STILL can't stop them.

 

[17Vols]

wonder if we'll see another Tiny guarantee this week??

 

[robisc]

Was expecting a loss but not this, Vols are getting worse each week now it seems.

 

[volfanhill]

On the road vs a top ten team with a Frosh QB...if you are upset then you are a idiot

 

[DC Vol]

wonder if we'll see another Tiny guarantee this week??

"I guarantee you that NFL scout won't return my calls"

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Did we win yet?

 

[knoxvol16]

Ok Barbara. Tell lil Derek we forgive him and won't hold a grudge for our teams loser attitude.

No. This team is Butch's. There is no excuse for the lack of effort. They haven't been playing like this before now; this is on his watch. He is responsible.

 

[Vol Main]

Will never work. He is color blind. Notice he keeps throwing to the wrong players.

If Dobbs throws INTs, it's not his fault.

10-4. Showing my middle TN bias.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Look on the bright side folks. If James Franklin plays at QB for Mizzou then it would've even been more embarrassing. So, there's that!!!

 

[17Vols]

this was a winnable game, O-line and secondary blew it.

 

[IBVolCrzy]

Under 2 mins...bye all ...Go Vols, beat the war chickens next week.

 

[top5vols]

Did we win yet?

2nd team D with a stop.

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Unreasonable expectations? Really is it too much to ask to be remotely competitive against a team that we should be similar to from a talent standpoint?

I don't think it is. Worst passing defense in the SEC, 8 possessions in Mizzou territory. 3 points. That's pathetic.

 

[TrueOrange]

And UT's 1:43 from being 0-2 against Missouri all-time

 

[DC Vol]

On the road vs a top ten team with a Frosh QB...if you are upset then you are a idiot

I'm pissed with the Senior laden OL/DL. They played like complete (#*&#. False starts and horrendous play to go with Tiny's stupid ass guarantee this week.

I got blasted for it, but I am impressed with Dobbs. He's definitely shown a lot more positives than negatives given the circumstances, IMO.

 

[Catbone]

Did we win yet?

Unfortunately you'll have to wait several more weeks before we play Kentucky.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

This is the first time I spent more time on VN than watching the game.... In this instance I don't regret it

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

If Dobbs throws INTs, it's not his fault.

Worley did throw any with less players around him.

 

[1972 Grad]

*Colombia

I think he was talking about Columbia, Missouri.

 

[NATHAN05]

I love how everyone is saying how bad this team is but after the USCe and even the GA game we were singing their praises. I'm mad about tonight to but it's flat out we didn't show up and I blame that on seniors and lack of motivation by coaches. We'll bounce back and win 6, stop being fair weather.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

A-men! :hi: (and drops)

... and pulling Lane out, every time he made a decent run.
