Yes losing sucked. But some are acting like 17 is a HUGE lead. It's not. The fact that 17 is the biggest lead blown" is a testament to our program.
General Neyland would've been slaughtered by Oregon with the team Dooley left.
What? To be honest we're lucky Oregon "only" beat us by 45.What?? Jesus dude, just stop. The fact is that no Tennessee team, in 124 years of football, ever lost as badly as Jones did in 2013 vs Oregon...ever, since 1891. And now, no Tennessee team, in 124 years of football, has ever blown a 17 point lead in Neyland Stadium...ever, since 1891. And now one coach owns both those records...Lyle Allen "Butch" Jones. You can speculate all you want, make any excuse that you want, but dems be the facts.
You are not understanding why people are upset. I agree, 17 points is a small advantage. However, Butch thought it necessary at that point to play it safe. It's just dumb to call off the dogs against a top 25 team with a 17 point lead and expect to win.
