Big Game Butch

[sjt18]

Congratulations to Butch and the staff. Great effort tonight and it is good to get a program win over The Huskers.

They were a team playing a walk on QB and without their best DB and WR. It is always better to win than to lose.... but don't act like UT won the SEC or something.... like Jones did after the game.

It was a crazy season. Maybe that was 3 to 5 years worth of defensive injuries in one season and we will not see something like that again.

Really? Because we've now seen it for 3 straight years under Jones.... and he hasn't fixed whatever the problem is.

Likely never will see another star player meltdown in mid-season.

Depends. Hurd to his great credit while enduring the ire of many Vol fans has said very little. What little he did say seemed to indicate that Jones lied to him possibly to keep him from transferring.

Dobbs and Barnett are 2 all time greats and many seniors on Team 120 left it all on the field.

Yes.

There is much to be proud of from this squad.

No. For the 2nd consecutive season Jones missed great opportunities to win the East. Dooley never assembled much talent.... but he never underutilized talent the way Jones has either.

Glad to have the staff we have and their hard work to rebuild the mighty Vols. 3-0 in bowl wins is special.

Really? Losing to Vandy and USCe is a sign that they're "rebuilding"?

3-0 in bowl wins is every bit as much about matchups as anything else. All 3 of those wins were against the Big 10 West.... not exactly known for elite talent.

Im thrilled about the win. Happy for DB. Witnessed Reggie White get his record years ago. The kids play the game, the kids win or loose it. Tonight they won. "Big Game Butch" has potential. Just not sure vol nation has the patience.

I am thrilled Nebraska loosed! On another note - Barnett, right?

Good win. For the record, I called our defense playing better 😬

Next season when a poster makes bold predictions that couldn't possibly happen and you feel the irresistible urge to flame them for the ridiculousness of it remember last season.

What if its D4H?

Helps to play against a QB who had zero Division I offers in high school instead of Tommy Armstrong, IMO.

OK, I was wrong, there is 2, lol.

Yeah, but look at our record against any backup quarterback 😬

Breaking news, we give back National Championship due to FSU not playing starting QB

Thanks guys. This is my first post I have started that got to page 3 of responses. I knew that title "Big Game Butch" would stir up some action. I did not know the Vols are 3-0 vs. the lowly Big 10 West which is certainly nice to contemplate how it diminishes our teams' accomplishments.

Anyway Happy New Year to VN - even the crew with early onset conditions - you guys are the greatest!

Fine...then we're giving back the loss to USCe and their freshman backup QB as well.

There...now we're 10-3.

Go Vols.

Has never been happy his entire life.

I'll say this. If butch does ever get into the playoffs, he's got a good shot of taking home the prize.

 

[crazyguy]

Also, nice to have a win be the last thing recruits see before NSD.

 

[trevols81]

15 th post showed your intelligence as well. apparently you dont get it.

Care to translate?

I think it was something along the lines of, "I know you are, but what am I?

Hahahahahahahahahaha


Great win, but slow the patting of Butch until he learns how to beat Muschamp and Vanderbilt more than zero and half the time.

 

[Johncarter53]

I think to be labled "big game butch" he would have had to win the games to make it to atl or the sugar bowl.
