I give props to nobody until we start winning freakin' SEC football games, which might be never. I'm tired of being told that we should "chill out," or that Butch has got us on the right track, or that we are "close," or that we should be "patient" because the OL or the QB or the WRs or the RB or the laundry boys "need more experience;" I'm tired of hearing the "if onlys"---if only Worley didn't get hurt, or if only we didn't fumble or if only the officials didn't hate us. We've been on an excuse treadmill for 10 years. There are ALWAYS issues--every year: we will always be playing inexperienced players, there will always be injuries and bad breaks, etc. EVERY team deals with the same things. You either win or you don't. And we don't. Until we freaking' start winning, nothing encourages me. Worley will be gone next year--and we'll be lining up with more excuses. I like Jones--but until he wins games he's done nothing.

If only you could be patient and realize how close you are to having the needed experience of chilling out, it would be a win for us all and put us on the right track 'cause Butch has got this. :rock:

I have said this for a while now. Have you ever noticed that Tenn is the only program where a rebuilding job takes 4-5 years or more? Kevin Sumlin, Hughes Freeze, James Franklin, and Mark Stoops are all proving otherwise. Next year, we have Peterman or Dobbs. It will be just as bad. Tennessee needs to win now.

Nothing about the OP's post is irrational. It is all true. That is the tough part. Actually, the tough part is finally realizing the losing mentality that has been bred over the course of the last 10 years. You guys are okay with losing as long as it isn't "ugly". It is sad.

You came away from a Georgia game on the road against a team that many believe will complete to get in to the playoffs and your takeaway is 'just win baby'? Butch is playing more freshmen than any team in the country and still, the team was right there today. Add the crop coming next year, and yes, I'm encouraged. Then again, we could just fire CBJ now for not winning immediately. Those who do that though tend never to win. Has impatience served you well in life?
