looking ahead

If we win out and win our bowl do you feel satisfied? If not are you disappointed?

8-4 would be a normal progression step in the right direction. However one should dig a little deeper for a better feel for what it would mean.

CBJs for the first time in his tenure was facing significant "noise" and staring 2-5 right square in the face with a 21pt deficit against GA.

The "noise" was so so close to being a fever pitch. Even with all the injuries he rallied the team around him and silenced the "noise"

Considering all those factors an 8-4 season has to be considered worth more than the normal progression IMO.

What happens in the bowl game is of zero consequence IMO as long as we are 8-4 heading into it.

Anyone have a link to the full SC game on YouTube? There have been a couple assertions that I want to review for myself.

Edit: Found one.

OK, I found a video that showed the aftermath of our first TD Saturday. Someone earlier said that all the players ran to Kamara to congratulate him except Hurd. Now, Hurd was slower to get up and slower to get over to AK, but he did indeed go over to join in the celebration.

The other one I was wanting to look back at was how Randolph reacted after the hit on Cooper. Whiny-ass Houston Kress claimed on their show yesterday afternoon that Randolph immediately removed his helmet and started walking toward the locker room. I didn't remember it that way and, after watching a replay of it this morning, it absolutely didn't happen that way. Randolph kept his helmet on and went to the bench area to await the ruling from the officials.

I just hate it when people make claims to support their opinion of something. It was targeting, without a doubt. And, BR may very well have premeditated the hit and decided it was worth it. But, Kress added the description above to support his theory that BR targeted intentionally...and it didn't happen that way.

Same with Hurd. Someone completely decided to make up the scenario in which Hurd just trotted off the field to support their theory that he's unhappy. Again, didn't happen that way.

Not saying he did it immediately but Randolph did remove his helmet and appeared to me he was conceding the fact he was gone BEFORE the review was over.

He probably knew he was gone immediately, but Kress made it sound like he got up from the hit, took off his helmet and started toward the locker room.

Perhaps he saw the replay on the video board and thought it looked worse than ever intended. Therefore, knowing from film studies that it won't be turned over.

Yea he knew it immediately IMO. Now he didn't start walking straight to the lockerroom but to me it did seem he was resigned to the fact he was done

What's this about Kyle Phillips separating his shoulder again? Rivals said he may be out for season

Stripling (or maybe it was Butch) did say yesterday it's been tough that as of now 5 guys were lost for the year on the D line...

(Maggit, Tuttle, Butcher, Saulsberry,...?)

@Vol_Football: Check out the VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS from Tennessee's 27-24 win vs. South Carolina https://t.co/ZDBilmqDHz

Watch the highlight clip above. At the :40 second mark Phillips is in on a TFL and I remember thinking he looked awkward during the tackle.

Ohh. That's right... It is unbelievably unlucky how many season ending injuries we have had. I think it's near 10
