Well, I have been a Tennessee football fan for a long time and I know that this will not be the last time I will see my Vols lose as it was also not the first. If we could win every game there'd really be no point in playing or in watching them play. My hat is off to our quarterback and our offensive line , who at least looked like they wanted to win.

Oh give me strength. The day that Tennessee gets run over by a Pac-10 team is the day that heads should roll.

I have been a fan for a long time as well and I understand that being undefeated every year is not possible.

However, the quality of the product we put on the field now is substandard and everyone around us is getting better.

great sentiment, LIO...it's tough to love your team when the chips are down, but I'm with you all the way on this.

With Tradition, Comes Responsibility.

Tennessee's defense played with what looked like no pride at times, which is very sad to see.

I mean does anyone really think we have a chance to go to Gainesville and win. I mean it's possible but it shouldn't happen. We don't have the COACHING to beat Meyer.

I listen to Dave Hooker say they look impressive in practice. I hear him say that the d-line looks good and that Mapu and Bolden look like they have taken that next step. And then suddenly it's all ruined in one 4 hour stretch. Just ruined.

I have defended Fulmer but I'm done. Tennessee is a ship that has been sinking since the 2001 SEC championship game. We aren't an elite team anymore.

Fire Fulmer!
I feel your pain bro. All that anticipation and optimism building up over 8 months dashed in 4 hours. Its tough... very hard to swallow. Time will tell if Cal is really that good, or if we are really that bad.

One thing is for sure, our D-line sucks, again. Another truth is that the VOLS have been sliding downhill since 2001. I won't write the season off yet, but I have to admit my optimism if waning quickly.

So you mean nothing has changed since Meyer got to UF? Gotcha.
