Disappointing loss, but fan reactions are embarrassing

[Gatlinburgvol]

Sure, we should have not lost to Ga State, but there is no excuse for the complete melt down by Tennessee fans. Support the team and staff as they both grow and improve. It starts with good recruiting classes and building depth which Pruitt is doing. I was disappointed with Saturday’s outcome but I am a graduate and VFL and expect this team to improve.

They’ve been supporting the team, doing the exact same thing you’re wanting, expecting growth and improvement for 20 years now. All they’ve gotten is a worse football program. I’m not one of them, but it’s really not that hard to see why the fans are done.

 

[The Orange Pants]

They won’t react this way next time because nobody will give a damn when it happens.

 

[Orange931]

It’s year 2 and in no way should we EVER lose to Georgia State. That’s not growing and that’s not improvement.

I think this team will win 3-4 games from the look of things and i'm at this point not sure if Jeremy Pruitt is capable of getting the Tennessee football program where it needs to go.

Funny..I was thinking BYU was gonna be the trap game..

2 games..maybe. Chattanooga and UAB. I see 0 SEC wins.

Tennessee is already entrapped by it's head coach and coaching staff

I think that if it happens would force Phil Fulmer to pull the plug on Jeremy Pruitt.

Lot of season left and things might turn around but losing a home opener to a program that has only existed for 10 years might be a death blow. By the end of October we will know if Pruitt is getting sh!!canned or not.

If Tennessee starts off 1-6 we'll all know that Jeremy Pruitt is a dead man walking

Sad part of that is, who’s the poor saps that we’d actually beat?

Chattanooga

That’s in doubt at this point.

O.P. While I don’t get people that hate on the faithful like you, I just can’t anymore. I was faithful. I never hoped a coach would fail like so many on here seem to. I wanted us to win. I tuned in every week no matter what. I bought merchandise no matter what. My family bought tickets several times every year. I just can’t anymore. Much respect to you. I don’t know what I’m doing Next Saturday, but I know what I’m not doing. Good luck the rest of the way.

At this point Tennessee should feel lucky they still have fans that care enough too react to that. They were treated to yet another display of putrid football. It's gotten beyond old..

Raw raw threads should wait until body has coolded down.

It wont cool down and it will be worse when Tennessee loses to BYU on Saturday

We already know, just a matter of time now. But right now I could care less. More lake time on Saturdays, that’s what the family wants anyway.

Family is always first

OP, you need to consider the time, money, and emotion devoted to UT football by the fans over the past two decades. They expect a return on their investment. You cannot expect them to be satisfied with a perpetual state of "potential improvement" from year to year. Should we expect to be the next Alabama? No. But we shouldn't know the outcome of the Florida game weeks in advance, either, and that's the way it's been since Fulmer left. We have a right to be totally p*ssed.

We'll have to outscore them. Not going to stop them. Hope they don't have a mobile qb than can move the pocket and scramble for a yard or two. We'll stay in a base defense and make him look like the second coming of Micheal Vick like we did with this guy. We adjusted nothing. Brought a extra guy some and made plays when we did. Sometimes i wonder why we pay millions of dollars to these guys. They don't seem like Mensa meeting material too me.

Zach Wilson of BYU looked really mobile against Utah
