Ill always pull for Tennessee. But sometimes you just gotta accept the fact that your team is simply no good. Tennessee's better days are behind them. Just like Notre Dame, The U, etc. Were starting to know how Kentucky fans felt.

Really odd. You have an offensive line that have played three years together; a supposedly solid quarterback; and two of the best receivers in the country. It's a mystery.

I can handle losing but I seen some quiters tonight and I thought we would play a full 4 quarters. I don't care what anyboy says it falls back on the coach's on how your team responds to adversity... I just can't believe what I saw.. Come on Dooley the least you can do is teach them to play a full 60 min no matter what happens.. Pathetic..

I always felt like deep down Tennessee would eventually be back. Im starting to not think so. I like Dooley but it has gotten old. I think we all like to think UT football is a lot more than what it really is. The 90's were a long time ago.

If the Vols get 8 or more wins, I doubt there's a change even without a signature win this year. There's alot of buyout money on the line and a big chunk of the fanbase seems to be getting used to losing.

No, that's not "all."

Tennessee was out-coached big time tonight. It was embarrassing. Muschamp out-coaches us? Really?

Our defense was confused almost the entire game. They were running plays designed to get their speedsters into space and it worked really well in the 2nd half. Tennessee had absolutely no answer for it in the 2nd half once adjustments were made. That is where Dooley has always been at his worst: adjustments.

Florida out-played Tennessee in every aspect of the game in the 2nd half. Driskel outplayed Bray. How sad is that?

Driskel was put into excellent positions to succeed, Bray was not. Bray was hit on almost every play in the 2nd half. The Florida defense confused the Hell out of us, we couldn't do anything after our last TD.

I think the announcers hit it pretty well. Are we better than last year? Hell yeah. Are we good enough this year? Definitely not. I feel as though we found out today this regime doesn't have what it takes. I hope that we come out and find a way to beat UGA and bama, but I don't think we have what it takes still. We've reached Dooley's highest level, and it won't be enough. JMO, but I think that's what we found out.

Well I said before the season u don't lose to Kent come back n win 9 or 10 games... we have to have better recruiting. Better coaching n better play calling on both sides of ball... I have a 10 year old boy n he has never watch a good TN team n not sure he will for a few years. Losing by what 20 over a team u r fav is bad

Face reality folks. Florida has had better takent 9 times out of 10 for the last 20 years and WILL ALWAYS have better talent. The few years we have had better talent (tonight) we ALWAYS get outcoached. Saw Spurrier do if for years, Zook for gods sake did it his first year, Urban did it his first year, and TONIGHT Musckchump did it.

NO WONDER WE DO NOT GET BETTER TALENT

WE ARE THE STREETWALKERS OF THE SEC.

FEEL SORRY FOR THE 100,000 IDIOTS WHO THOUGHT TONIGHT WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT.

This is part of the reason TN cant recruit. HS players dont remember TN being any good. Ill always be a UT fan but its sad to realize that your fave team's days as a football power are behind them.

1. We were outcoached - across the board.

2. Our players are not as good as Florida's

3. Our recruiting is not as good as Florida's

4. Our guys gave up tonight.

5. We can't even get a decent kicker on our team.

6. We could be doomed to mediocrity for a long time.
