How sad is it that anyone here...me included...can find positives in a 26 point loss to UGA.

That's a sign of how far we have sunk, and how far we have yet to go.

Maybe we should cut Pruitt some slack. He's a proven winner. He took over a dumpster fire.

This is going to take time to fix.

Go Vols.

For a quarter and a half we outplayed Georgia once we opened up the play calling a little. That is something to build on. This is a national contender we played against today. Maybe the team will build some confidence that we can compete. I feel better today than I did last week.

They should have put Chryst in at second half. I'm not sold on JG. Oh well. On to Auburn. If we play better against Auburn than today, we could upset. One can only hope.

Agreed. There's some folks pumpin' the shine right now on this, but to me that's just an indicator of how desperate some are to get anything positive out of this process. Tennessee didn't look much better or much worse than they did last week, which is to say -- they looked bad. Really bad. Folks can either be honest about it or they can try to comfort themselves with imaginary victories, I suppose, but Tennessee looked bad. S'all we can really say. And you either accept that or you don't. Doesn't mean you crap on the players or the coach but I would struggle to understand anyone who thinks we had anything to hang our hats on today. Just another loss in a season that looks like it may very well fit in our lost decade of thinly-tolerated mediocrity.

None of this is good enough. Someday I am hoping for a return to being competitive. But right now nothing that is going on with our program is good enough. Nothing.

We’ll hunt for positives to sustain us, but not much to find.

I will forever hate that fumble play that may be the 1 of the greatest most frustrating gut punches in the history of soul crushing gut punches.
It was a real life Waterboy style play the entire backfire of a good or great play and the other team benefits in the best way ever.

The team with the better athletes seems to be the one to usually have the ball bounce their way... Nauta whiffed on a block but then made a play out of it.

Definitely. The point was, without hindsight, what gives you the best chance to win? I am fine with the strategy we employed as long as our defense played fairly well. Keep us in the game, and keep the scoring low. We really got screwed on the bounces. Take away that -7 from the b.s. fumble or say we get the last fumble then we are right in that game. I think hindsight, yeah, we should have opened up earlier. That being said, I would bet you several of those fans were afraid they were going to lose the game at some point in the 4th. That is more than most of us expected after last weeks performance

Well my point is if your going to play conservative, you have to know that if you don’t succeed with that your going to tire your defense out quickly and that’s what ended up happening

Welll, looks like they only beat us by 26 this year, they got us by 41 last year, so we've improved?!?!?!?

I think we did improve. Still a wide chasm between the best SEC teams and us, but it was better than last year (and on the road).

I dont care about his legacy. I dont care that he chose to go to UGA. I care that he's taken a few cheap shots at our guys and gotten away with it

If you had paid attention earlier I was hoping fields was OK after that fumble recovery.

So please. Preach elsewhere.

Kid plays with a nasty streak.If he did so for you guys I doubt most vol fans wouldn't have an issue with it. If it is truly not a personal issue for you then good for you. Back in the glory days for ut their roster was loaded with GA high school players. Just don't get the amount of hatred for this kid Mays.

We will. Team showed improvement and heart. Hope these kids make a bowl, they deserve better than the sh*t f*** coaches we gave them prior to this. Go on bitching and moaning. Actually, why dont you just go cheer for Bama, like the OG said that you were mocking? We dont want you here

I agree about the coaching and the SLIGHT improvement but there’s still A LOT of issues aside from that. We won’t make a bowl.
