Well we would have been a lock for playoffs

If the Carolina loss was earlier in season...and the Bama win later it changes alot. The Carolina game is still fresh in everyone's mind and so decisive. Everyone considered it the final nail in coffin and not enough has happened to change that vibe. Not enough time has passed. Heck...many people don't even know we hammered Vandy. Unfortunately...this is where we're at.

Nobody was watching that Vandy game outside of UT fans.

I hope the players that laid down in the SC game are happy. The more I think about it, the more inexcusable and despicable it becomes. What a bunch of spoiled-brat, narcissist children. I hope it was worth it. This fan base has followed the team you suit up for - you know, the team that paid for your education, and for some of you, gave you an opportunity to play at the next level - has waited for a chance like this for twenty-one years. And you pissed it away because a coach disciplined a player who by all accounts needed it.

I really think Hooker probably wouldn't have gotten hurt if not for the players who decided not to give a damn. Had said players actually played like they normally do, we probably would have been at least in the game at that point, if not leading, and Hooker would have been more his normal self, and less likely to try to do too much.

Rest assured, those of you who threw the game: someday you will want something a lot, it will depend on someone else, and they will choose not to give a damn, and you will lose out and it will hurt. And you will deserve it.

Of course there's also the possibility that at some point when you're fifty or seventy or eighty you find some semblance of maturity, and realize you pissed away a chance to play for a national championship, and are sickened to the point of physical illness at your own stupidity and selfishness. One can only hope.

If you think the players threw the game you should stop posting now. I think the game plan and focus sucked, and they could not compensate for losing their best defensive player. That's on Heupel. Banks is not suspended if Saban is the coach. Saban didn't suspend a player caught on national television taking a swipe at an opposing female fan.

You should stop trying to think because you’re not very good at it. You may have missed this, but a lot of articles have been published everywhere from ESPN to here claiming that there were players who were unhappy with Banks being held out and implying that those players chose not to give effort as a result. If you think any D-I defense just randomly gives up the most points ever given up by that team to a conference foe in its history on the same week that there are numerous credible reports of locker room problems and the two have no connection, your thinking skills need some work.

It was a piss poor defensive performance. The worst I’ve seen in 50+ years of VOLS football. South Carolina scored more points than any other SEC team against TN, in history. It’s the lone black eye of the Heupel era.

No adjustments by the defensive coaching staff at the half.

That being said, if you told me at the beginning of the season we’d beat FL & Bama & lose to GA & South Carolina I’d take it.

I would have liked to be in the playoffs but without Hooker there’s little to no chance we would have advanced past the first round.

Overall it’s been a really good season at 10-2. We technically finished 2nd in the SEC.

Go VOLS!

I don't have to call you names to know your intelligence quotient is probably below an 82 with a name like lost sheep. The closest you've probably come to sports is sitting in the stands eating cheetos and drinking natural light. The fact that you reference "claim" means you are probably subject to being conditioned easily.

Even if players are upset, once you lace it up your adrenaline kicks in even if you go into it upset. The defensive coach calls the game. Once it was obvious we weren't getting pressure then you blitz more if nothing else is working. Banks did not. Our best blitzer, linebacker and player on defense was back in Knoxville.

You’re a twit. My IQ is probably about thirty points above yours. I have a degree from an Ivy League university; I also have a Ph.D. I run and lift six days a week. And I could buy and sell you a couple times over.

They have given far more to the program than you or I. No one threw the game. Stop being a dolt.

when folks go to that extreme……you know…..we all know.

Highly intelligent folk don’t have to tell others.

Extremely rich folk don’t feel the need to tell others.

You seem very immature. If all your claims are true it seems like a terrible waste. There was no reason to be disrespectful to the poster simply because you disagree. Take a deep breath and think with that generational brain before you type.
