i dunno why everyone is ****ting on the d. i think we have improved greatly. i know with the oregon game, but if we put that d up last year we'd have been no better. this year is a coaching turnover. next year we'll have this staff's first year of choices so they can at least get their guys that fit the scheme they want. after that, one or two years to show something. i dunno why it really matters that we go 5-7 or 7-5 this year for that? i mean, its great to win the games, but some people act like us sucking this year has any impact on the next 3 years.

Spot on. I'm very pleased with the defense, but you can't make them play 40 minutes a game.

We were always going to finish 5-7 or 6-6. Welcome to reality! I honestly don't know what people were thinking was going to happen when you lose every single significant weapon you have on offense and are only a year removed from fielding the worst defense in team history. We're still rebuilding. Get over it.

Remember the class of 2007 that was ranked #5 in the nation? Yeah, that didn't translate into success for the next four years right?

Offense can't score. Defense slows down after 1st Qtr. I'm tired of watching mediocrity. You can take the best players in the nation and put them on this team. However, no matter what happens, the team will not win. It's pathetic.

This loss is on the coach 100% ridiculous to start a freshman after our qb started in a hostile environment last week.
And then to let Peterman keep throwing the ball.

We could have won this game with competence at the head coaching position

Does "bank it" mean you are betting on the 5-7? How much?

Yes, I'm tired of it. From 2007 - present. When I was kid, football players gave a 110%. Now, it's as if they play like they are entitled to the game. UT can keep building more athletic buildings but the success will never come.

What makes you think we can win 6?

The stellar QB?

Experienced wide receviers?

Game breaking RBs?

Closing speed on defense?

Pass rush?

Road-grading offensive line?

Right now we dont.

Sorry if you were confused. I think we are just as likely to finish with 4 as we are 6.
