*not all Max's fault but we lost by 2 points.... just saying

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol. I called it. Gonna lose on a last second field goal

music ****** bowl

Huge regression in year 5 is a red flag if I've ever seen one.

 

[orangejuice]

Part of the problem is we used to feel extremely daring and aggressive, but also undisciplined. Now we play extremely conservative, and just as undisciplined.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

We shoulda opted out of this ****

 

[nashvol1]

Zero wins against ranked team in year 5. He ain’t it

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Different game if no opt outs too, but oh well.

8-5 it is, will be interesting to see what sort of turnover we see

 

[BleedOrange16]

Bert giving Heupel a lesson on how to manage end of game clock.

Seat is blazing hot, IMO.

If not? Shame on Danny.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Please jump in the portal, Max Gilbert

If Max hits the field it doesn’t matter. Our d would have gotten trucked on 4 straight runs.

gonna be hard to find a positive here. lackluster performances at really really really bad bowl games dont cut it.

 

[jave36]

I tell my team this the best chance for us to win. The team’s feelings be damned.

No, I mean you'd have to call another time out lol. I wasn't talking about feelings. And then beilema would know that's what he's telling his team, so he'd say "don't run into the endzone."

It’s hard to understand how we are kinda bad in every aspect of the game.

 

[Vol423]

Zero wins this season against any team with a pulse.

 

[benholt06]

I feel like I’m waiting around spinning my wheels just to find out 2 years down the line what’s already very evident.

 

[drvenner]

Same story all year. Can't get a stop when we needed it

 

[VolNash17]

Maybe Heupel opted out

 

[TN-POSSUM]

At least we've got stuff to talk about this off-season.

 

[I4Jay]

Discipline starts at the top…
5 years later, the team makes the same mistakes…

How many other coordinators and coaches are going to get blamed for it….

 

[VolNash17]

They need to go full Texas Tech and Ohio State buy the best team ever this offseason

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

I hate this team.

Year five and it’s our worst team.

They are not well coached

it's unacceptable

we looked better in 2021

 

[Jackcrevol]

How did we lose to Brett Bielema? That guy is a ****ing joke.

 

[SKV84]

Thank God this season is over with.

 

[nashvol1]

As bad as the D was, the O cost us that game. D gave up 23, that should be enough o beat Illinois

 

[Vol423]

It’s hard to understand how we are kinda bad in every aspect of the game.

This team regressed during the season. That’s on bad coaching.

Thank God this season is over
