Well, I feel good about the program.

I think we are one complimentary OC away from where we want to be. I love Heupel and the majority of the staff but he needs better help in the press box than he is getting from Halzle.

Who's been in the program for almost 2-1/2 years with 11 starts under his belt now. Sorry but I don't buy that bull$hit excuse. Look at what Florida's TRUE freshman QB is doing right now.

He completed 50% of his passes vs LSU.
Is that what you’re looking for Nico to do??

I haven’t felt this good about the program since the early 2000s. I think Huepel needs to make some staff changes but overall I am extremely happy with where we are. I mean we are complaining about going 10-2. A mere 4 years ago we wouldn’t have dreamed of going 10-2.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

You really think so? We are SOOOO damn basic now! We never run any end arounds or jet sweeps. We never throw to our backs. Hell, we don't even run off tackle. Every one of our runs are between the guards. No pitches. We barely utilize our tight ends. Hardly any designed QB runs. I dont see our WR's line up in any unique sets anymore. We don't even go fast anymore. No trick plays whatsoever either. The offense we are running now looks nothing like the one we ran in 2022. It has zero creativity. The difference between what we ran the other night vs Georgia's playcalling was pretty jarring. It almost reminds me of the Pruitt offenses with Guarantano.

Tell you what. Really think about it for a second. Think about what the HUGE difference is between the offense now and in 2022. Here is a hint: it’s not Golesh.

I assume you are implying that Nico is the difference. Like I said, he's been on campus for almost 2-1/2 years. He now has 11 starts under his belt. There is no reason why he shouldnt have grasped this offense yet.

We lost 17 straight to Bama. We’ve won 2 of the last 3.
I’m down right giddy about where the program is now compared to a short time ago.

Also, we haven’t taken a seat anywhere until we make the playoffs, period. This program has done nothing in 20 years. I’m sick of this attitude of aww shucks maybe next year. Maybe next year we get 8 wins. If that happens is it aww shucks maybe next year again,

I see that you are new here. Hang around for the next ten years and then tell us how you feel.

Wish we had more beasts.

We can have more beasts. Pay for more

All of this talk about the playoffs and all, I think that we should be grateful for where our program is, and is going. After decades in the wilderness, Tennessee has retaken its seat at the table of the great football programs. We are relevant again, talked about by the media in a good way (for the most part), and even Finebaum is lauding our success. Hell, we even beat Florida and Bama in the same season. I'm hopeful that the future sees us continue to accelerate until everyone we play fears us.

Heupel needs to get the Georgia monkey off his back in order for Tennessee to become an ELITE SEC Program.

I’ve literally been watching UT games since 2001 but go off.

He has grasped the offense. There is no way to compare Hooker and Nico. Also how many drops have we had? The WRs have been extremely underwhelming this year. Bru and Squirrel look slower than last year. Brazzell can barely get open it seems and Thorton is hit or miss.

Easier said than done. How many SEC teams can say they have beaten UGA? Kirby has lost a total of 5 conference games in 5 years.

 

[VolCalls]

Week 5 or 6 shouldn’t be looked at any differently than week 11. You didn’t lose in August or even in your first road test. You are the team that took the field 5 weeks into the season.

So that means we’re also the same team now that lost in Week 5. We absolutely do not belong, then. No need for any more discussion.

Nobody’s complaining about 10-2. The complaining is about not being adequately prepared or putting ourselves in position to win then blowing it, which we’ve done twice this year.

Is McKenzie Milton up in the box with Halzle or is he on the sidelines? Wonder if he’d be any help to Halzle spotting things from the box since he ran Heupel’s offense so well at UCF.

That’s right! But don’t get hung up on week 5. There’s a Week 1, week, 2.. all the way through week 11 so far. Keep trying!

Good grief did you really just say this? LOL. Get a grip
