Tenn. hype who did they beat chants

[VOL_Lyfe]

Give that man a Dr. Pepper

or a Snickers

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I’m not one for moral victories, but take away the boneheaded play by JG (who went AGAINST the coaches) and the bad officiating (again not the coaches fault) and we were right there with Bama. I really believe that was the turn around game.

Officiating for that game was a joke. If I'm not mistaken, didnt fla play uscjr that week? Fla needed the officials to bail them out of that game too. Uscjr gave them a run for their money. We curbstomped the chickens, therefore fla overrated.

 

[Hacksaw]

Auburn and Kentucky were ranked so they were upsets. We were underdogs against Mizzou and Vandy and they both had good senior Qb’s. Stop trying to revise history in order to slam Pruitt at the end of the season. No one expected us to win the last two games.

A lot of our fans here predicted that we would beat both of them -- especially Vandy. Should I post links? Quite a few outside these boards did, too.

Here's one I found in about ten seconds of looking.

More to the point, I don't follow whatever "logic" you're trying to apply here. We were underdogs in all four games, but we should not draw any conclusions based on the 2 games we won because they were upsets? Why were we good enough to upset ranked Auburn (at Jordan-Hare) and ranked Kentucky (by 17 points) if we were not good enough to avoid being blown-out by Mizzou and Vandy? By your logic the more highly-ranked opponent you beat, the less meaningful it is.

Vandy still had some of James Franklin's players, so it's somehow acceptable that we lost to them -- even though we had already beaten Kentucky, who beat both Vandy and a Top Ten ranked Penn State in their bowl game a few weeks later. Penn State was actually coached by James Franklin at the time! Ole Miss finished 5-7 last season, just like us. They played Vandy the week before we did and at least made a game of it, forcing them to OT before succumbing. The next week, that same Vandy team demolished us like we weren't even on the field. It was 31-7 in the fourth quarter, man!

You can put whatever spin on it that makes you feel better, but you shouldn't expect everyone to see it like you do. At the very least you should accept that there's more than one way to look at things. And not everyone who disagrees with your perspective is looking for an excuse to slam Pruitt. You shouldn't be so sensitive.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Pruitt isn’t out coaching and beating Mullen anytime soon though and he isn’t out recruiting him either.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Gators are scared, they know with CJP in the lead, we are going to not only kick their butts-next season, but, we are going to do so by at least 28 points. They haven't seen how much we've improved over this season, we're like Jack and the Bean Stalk's magic beans, when it comes to growth! Just ask anyone-we are almost in complete agreement. The best thing for FL to do is just forfeit the game, due to weather or something, it'll save them a lot of embarrassment.

0-12

 

[I40flyer]

0-12

Florida is still an SEC team, I believe they'll do a little better than 0-12, but after the whooping we are sure to give them, they may not win another.

 

[I40flyer]

Not on Pruitt. Guarantano went rogue there and cost Tennessee an opportunity to be one score down late in the game. Watch the replay and you will see the play was supposed to be a hand off to the running back to the left where a huge hole had been opened up.

Now, that's the spirit! When players fail to make plays-it is on them-when they make great plays-it's because of the coach, yes sir.

 

[Atlanta917]

Of our big 3 annuals, UF is the only one that didn’t have a season ending meltdown. Kirby’s Georgia team isn’t as scary as it once was. South Carolina was their Georgia State. Bama has good players, but playing sloppy and didn’t have a win against someone currently ranked. Nick’s image has been reduced to road rage, and painful to watch insurance commercials. Florida did have a good season , but face it- SEC East was basically a dumpster fire. Their competition wasn’t all that great either.
it’s all about perception going into recruiting. We finished strong and should be able to spread FUD about the big 3. (Fear,uncertainty and doubt)

The SECe is improving. UF did well considering their starting QB went down. UGA finished top 10 with a 3-1 record against ranked opponents. Tennessee turned their season around and finished 7-5 and made a bowl game. The SECw is really just LSU. Auburn lost to UGA and UF. Bama’s defense was plagued by injuries and looked pretty bad at the end of the year. Burrow and tua will be gone next year and Nix was pretty average. Unless LSU gets a grad transfer QB, which they might with Brady there, the power could shift back to the east next year. If Brady sticks with LSU they could turn into a juggernaut though. Their recruiting will be insane this year given their success.

Kiffin will also become major PITA for everyone in the SEC, and especially in the west. At the minimum he will be very annoying (or entertaning depending on your point of view ), and we all know he can coach/recruit/motivate.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Florida fans need to take a look in the mirror. They act like they sweep those teams consistently every year. They don’t. In the last decade, they won all those games 4 out of the last 10 seasons. 2 for us. It’s tough to consistently beat Mizzou, USCjr, UK and Vandy and nobody, not even UGA consistently dominates all 4 every year.

Losing to Vandy should never be acceptable and should almost always be a "fire for cause" moment.

This is misleading (makes it look like UGA is some kind of superpower compared to UT and UF). Here is some historical perspective (as bad as we have been over last 10 years we are still #2 all time in SEC):

Southeastern Conference - Wikipedia

By the way MSU should be ashamed because they are even behind Vandy all time (that I find the most surprising - I was convinced Vandy had the worst all time record).

Tenn has won 6 times since 1990. Or close to that. Until they actually dont fall apart and win then mullens is the better coach. Florida will challenge Georgia for the east next year. Tenn will still have guarantano.

 

[EconVol92]

I think that if I was a Florida fan I would be more concerned with the fact that it took an injury to Franks to get Trask out on the field as he was clearly the much better QB.

What was Mullen seeing that wasn't there?

Some coaches are just afraid of the unknown. You bench your starter for the backup and fail you risk looking bad and losing the starter. Having the stones to make that move separates the Sabans and Dabos from the Kirby’s and Mullen’s. To be fair Fromm was doing much better than Franks, but I still feel it’s relevant.

I’m fine with the mouth breathers being caught totally unawares when we start kicking their ass in a couple years

Long post with no substance. We were underdogs the last two games and it is inaccurate to make a statement that we should have won. Facts trump your spin, end of story.

I think your comprehension of what constitutes "substance" is just different than mine. Agree to disagree. No hard feelings.

I was watching ESPN going over the Bowl season and they were saying what a wonderful and great job Pruitt did at U.T. to end the season with 5 straightvwins and to finish 7-5 but, is it really all that great?​

​

They beat:​

​

S.Carolina,​

U.A.B.,​

Mizzou,​

U.K. and​

Vandy​

who were a combined 29-32 and if you take away UAB’s 9-4, they beat teams with a combined record of 20-28. Don’t get me wrong, they can keep Jeremy as long as they want as he’s also the coach who lost to Georgia St. to start the year and is IMO, an AWFUL football coach. It just gets to me how all these so-called expert Analysts don’t look at the entire picture. Well besides Heather Dinich who kept saying we didn’t deserve to be in the CFP given our 2 Division 2 schools on our schedule BUT, WAIT, she didn’t bring up how we were the ONLY Power 5 school to play not 1 BUT, 2 Power 5 schools in their out of conference schedule. She’s awful and beyond biased in my humble opinion. I have no problem with female analysts or announcers, just make them knowledgeable like Sam Ponder who knows her stuff.​

These guys are hilarious. Keep reading though, you’ll get a kick out of it. They seem pretty sure about themselves.

1. 
   
2. Sorry but Mr. Potatohead didn't rescue jack crap. He has been driving that program into the ground if you haven't noticed. He's not recruiting as well as Butch Jones was before him, so the talent level is going down there with every year he stays, not to mention he drove off much of the senior talent that they DID have by blaming those players each and every day he's been on the job for all of Tennessee's woes. It's supposed to be part of his job to protect those players from such criticisms, instead he threw them under the bus on day one in his coaching acceptance speech and has never quit since. He can't develop players. He can't figure out game time adjustments to a game plan. He can't call plays for crap. And his idea of motivating the players is to scream at them.
   
   What did he do this year? He stumbled upon the one and only winning formula he had. He just started throwing hail mary passes on every other down to his 2 senior WR's who just happen to be the only NFL talent left on that team. Those 2 guys bailed the entire program out this year and it only took him a year and a half to realize that all he had to do was throw it deep on every single play to one of them and they usually will catch it or get a penalty against the D. Well guess what, those 2 guys are gone now. He has nothing left in his bag of tricks. And let's look real closely at just how pathetic the back end of their season was anyways. A missouri team that won't go to a bowl game. A South carolina team that won't go to a bowl game. A Vandy team that won't go to a bowl game. A Kentucky team that hasn't even had a quarterback playing the position for much of the year. And some token OOC game from the FCS. Yeah that's a real proud turn around. Boasting about that is about the same as boasting that McElwain won the SEC East his first 2 years here even though they were historically the 2 worst years for the East in the SEC Divisional era.
   
   When they fail to go to a bowl game next year, do not be surprised one bit.​

This one just that J.J. and Callaway was it? He hasn’t been watching our games to well has he? He thinks Butch Jones recruited better than him. I got news for this person, he hasn’t seen the development of our players this year either. You know it is a bad attitude of a person that’s isn’t to sure of hisself here.

Remember 0-8 two years ago?

So...UF fans should be concerned with Mullen developing McElwain’s QB recruit who couldn’t crack the starting lineup in high school?

Think they were saying Mullen saw both everyday in practice and went with Franks when Trask was better. It’s easy for fans to say in hindsight, but it’s still interesting regardless.
