'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Vanderbilt Pre-game/Game Thread

[TN-POSSUM]

Come on Possum. Are you not watching our defense? Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. We are getting whipped, plain and simple. Take off the orange colored glasses.

I just think blaming the refs in a game that we are getting absolutely whipped is soft. I think you're a little off on your objectivity. I see one team whipping my team like a bunch of rented mules. All good but every fanbase in America always thinks their team is getting cheated. We are simply not very good, especially on defense. It's sad but true and is about to get real for Heupel as the natives don't like getting killed in Knoxville at home. Going to be insufferable. Pavia is a punk but the dude is a gamer.

Blue font?

No


if you can't see what happens when a former alabama alumni shows up, then I'm sick of explaining to you what your eyes are seeing.

There were 2 DPIs on that drive they let go.


Tonight was not the night to try to "reason" with me. We've played like crap this half but the birmingham refs are crooked.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Wait a dadgum minute here. Should this not be my thread?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

CJH is about to experience the hot seat from an insane fanbase
Bowl game will not cool the tempers

Rightfully so.

 

[vol4eva]

Don’t care at all about a bowl game

 

[Skooter]

Lose Banks or lose my donation

 

[TheBigOne10]

Outscored 24-3 in the 2nd half on OUR FIELD

 

[JCP201]

Not talking about the season cumulatively. Talking about this one game and getting clowned by Vandy in Neyland. Wasn’t even clos

Patio had been playing this same vandy offense for 10 years. He'll probably be back next year

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Lost by 21. Real good TN

Not over yet. They want to score again.

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

When Nico left, 8-4 with a win in the Swamp, without McCoy and Gibson for the entire year would have been more than acceptable to most. Thankful to Joey!

Need an OC and a defensive staff overhaul. No excuses.

 

[csprig9]

Rightfully so.

Yep
I’m beyond pissed

This is embarrassing way to end the year especially with how we keep coaches

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Maybe he will go to Penn st. Yall can be happy when we suck for 20 more years.

Yeah because we just can never make another good coaching hire again right? Danny White sucks as an AD right? He doesn’t know what he is doing and would not be able to ever hire a good football coach again right?

 

[vol4eva]

Yeah, this is by far the worst loss in the Heup era.

OC has been fine.

Bowls will be dead in 5 years.

 

[CABVOL]

We making individual threads in RF to voice one’s frustrations? Just want to make sure so I don’t hv to check if I’m in FF by accident.

 

[SKV84]

Getting blown out by Vandy at home in year 5. Man....we are going places.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

This kind of performance makes me wonder if there's more going on behind the scenes. Losing to this Vandy team with our defense is absolutely understandable...but not basically getting run off the field in the second half. Heupel has been really subdued lately when speaking with the media. Does he have one foot out the door? Hate to speculate, but this is certainly an unexpected experience.

Starting to wonder if he’s leaving too. Maybe he wants out of this conference? Maybe he’s tired of the screw jobs his team keeps getting in this conference and has said screw it.

 

[NMVol]

Low point of the Heupel era. Will the young team hold together?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Then he will be gone within 3 years.

I actually think it'll be sooner than that. But we'll see i guess. I just cant get past his thinking that you can score 40 plus a game and think you dont have to play defense and that you'll beat the good teams on your schedule. It never has worked consistently in this league. The juggernaut offensive teams that won championships at least had serviceable defenses if not better.

 

[JCP201]

Everyone in the country fighting for a head coach this year

 

[jave36]

Yep

Maybe silver lining is it will force some upgrades.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Uncomfortable offseason upcoming for Heupel. He’s not getting fired tomorrow nor should he. There will be tough conversations, though, between him and Danny White about the program’s future.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Thank Jesus we can move on from Tim Banks!

 

[AllVol11717]

After Nico most would’ve been happy with an 8-4 season. However, the way it’s transpired has shown a lot of cracks in the foundation for how this team is built.

 

[VolNash17]

love Joey but we need to move on there

Move on with almost everyone this is pathetic
