They don't have playoff hopes.
I understand and fully concur that losing to Vandy under any circumstances is both embarrassing and humiliating. However, no defeat by Vandy during the modern era of college football remotely qualifies as "one of the worst losses in program history." To find losses of that magnitude within the series, you have to look back to the pre-World War I portion of Dan McGugin's career. From 1902-1913, they beat us eight consecutive times, five of which were by shutouts. The worst of these losses occurred in 1903, 1905 and 1909, when they won by the scores of 40-0, 45-0 and 51-0, respectively (Tennessee vs Vanderbilt 1869-2013). Hopefully, this will illustrate more precisely the context within which Neyland was eventually hired and given the directive to "even the score with Vanderbilt."
That statement right there is total foolishness. Yes that loss hurt, but with a Freshman QB and limited receivers, what did you expect? Now that drubbing in 2012 was probably the worst loss in UT history.
TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!!!
I'll remember this when that GT flexbone has rolled up a couple hundred on the ground and the game is tight in the 3rd quarter:lolabove::lolabove::lolabove::lolabove::lolabove:
LOL @ 4-0 Ga Tech!!! Been beating them senseless since well before Murray. And Mizzou, you mean the one that just lost at home to Indiana? That one? Arkansas gets me nervous yes but their strength is their running game and the front four is UGAs strength so let's go. BTW, the Hogs QB is worse than Mason and they can't stop a decent running team either so I still like the chances.

Hey everyone! Been following your threads for several years, and couldn't resist the urge to chime in anymore! I don't know what I was thinking, but I married a Georgia fan last year...He has been incredibly smug walking around the house this week and it's making me crazy! Here's to hoping to I have something to brag about on the ride back from Athens! Everyone have a great time this weekend! Go Vols!
They brought a very fired up team at home in front of 90,000 geeked up fans, and we had a TD called back on a phantom holding call (acknowledged), and 3 uncharacteristically missed FGs. I guess the TN wins all of those kinds of games. We'll see Sat. Bring your A game.

Welcome aboard! I feel your pain. My wife is a Georgia fan, and I've sent her to her sisters for the week. Her return depends on the outcome Saturday! Jk
That's fine. Result on the scoreboard will still be the same. They suck and they know it. And it's the triple option actually. They have won one time in the last 13 years. Last year was in the ghetto with Mason starting his first game ever, we had to go to overtime to win (the QB they had that game did all the damage and he quit the program) and they still couldn't pull out a win.
BTW, that 4-0 tech team nearly lost to Ga Southern and the only decent team they have played is VaTech
