Nothing new. There's always someone complaining the crowd is terrible because they can't hear them screaming on their big screen. Plus the fans aren't all standing. They can clearly see that because it's in high def and it shows what lazy, terrible fans they are.

I long for the good ole days where instead of whining about the crowd our fans are bitchin about the bathrooms, wifi and who stole the mustard bottle at the concession stand!

But when you think about it, 4 out of five losses came to top twenty teams( 3 to eventual top10, Bama , UGA and Ole Miss). The only embarrassing loss was to UF:)eek:). Dan Mullen.......

Cupcakes are a tough sell. I’ll be glad when we go to 10 SEC games a year with only 2 cupcakes to deal with. Cupcake for the opener and one for HC in October the week befor the Alabama game, the rest SEC.

Oh i Know. Very proud of the team. I was just explaining that this last week has been hard on Vol fans because we were forced to face the fact that it will be at least 300 more days before we get a chance to FINALLY beat one of the big three. It even feels WORSE now that we see how the wheels came off from Florida AFTER we played them. Feelings are not based on logic and it is ok to grieve the fact that we still didn’t get over an important hump this season while simultaneously celebrating a very good season. That is all I was trying to say

Yeah and we had bad timing because we played Florida before they imploded. If we would have played Pitt in week after week 3 or 4 we probably would have spanked them. And with Hooker, we could have scared the crap out of UGA in week 2. Probably could have beaten Ole Miss handily if we played them after Corral got nicked up (he's still not 100%). I guess we picked a good time to play Mizzou and SCAR though. lol

Fans have grown weary of these buy games, many of which Tennessee has managed to lose over the past decade, fans show up for games against good competition and conference games, but directional schools and second tier teams are best watched on television, I'd like too see Tennessee schedule buy games with in state schools to keep the dollars in state and more home and homes with the likes of Pitt, Florida State, SMU, Arizona State and a mid tier Big 10 team, for recruiting purposes and to offer the fans game day experiences in many different environments beyond the massive football cathedrals of the SEC.

I agree with keeping the money for gimme wins in state. Just rotate with UTM, UTC, AP, TTU, and ETSU.

The SEC office is responsible for setting the game time and chose this game to fulfill ESPN contract. ESPN needed a game for the 7:30 time slot on their sub channel. TV $$ rule. Ideally this should have been a 1:00 kickoff with beautiful sunny autumn weather. Still, there would not have been a full house, but much better than a night game in 40-35F temps. Hope the TV $$ made up for the loss of concessions. I’m sure the local economy also took a hit from the low attendance. No one wins except for the SEC bank account

That is true, but it's also true that I'm not driving 2 hours each way to watch that game starting at 7:30 and getting home at 2 in the morning. Show me them playing an SEC or worthy OOC team in that spot and I'm in. I came to the Ole Miss game,and happily did so. There's just no point investing a full day to watch a jabroni team get manhandled.

Making that a night game in late November was beyond dumb

This, unfortunately is reality. It’s nice to be going bowling and to beat the teams we’re used to beating routinely when we were a consistently good football team ranked annually. Yet, as you mentioned, there is a letdown without beating any of the big 3. It’s been half a decade since we beat FL & Ga in the same season (2016).

I know we’re all tired of hearing it but we have to give CJH time. He’s off to a better start in his first year than the last 3 TN head coaches to try and he walked into an incredibly difficult situation.

Go VOLS!!!

Here’s to beating Vandy & winning our bowl game to finish 8-5!

Oh definitely ready to give Coach more time. Losing to Georgia just gave me a case of the sads. Even though I knew we were almost certain to lose, most Vol fans always keep that little spark of hope before kickoff
