Dooley: "That game will bother me for the rest of my life"

The Memphus loss with Peyton at the helm hurt worse for me than the Ky game this year. I was about to :swoon3:...but I survived just like we all will with the Ky loss. It had to end sometime. Better now than when we're in an SEC title race or NC hunt. JMO

No, no. It's perfectly fine to lose to UK in football. And finish last in the worst SEC East in the past 10 years. All is well.

Oh yeah, losing to UK is way worse than the 20,000+ children who die every day of starvation or preventable diseases. Our fan base needs to grow up and get some perspective.

You have got to be kidding me. I have perspective, but it is perfectly ok to talk about UT's season. You are on VolNation, a message board about all things UT. If you can't stand the talk about UT sports on a UT message board then I don't know what to tell you.

Talking UT football and lamenting a bad season doesn't have to equate to burning the proverbial mattress and sinking into a depression that might be warranted if CDD had shot one's dog. People act as if football is a matter of life and death.

What any UT team does on a football field, baseball diamond, basketball court, soccer pitch, etc has absolutely no effect on my day to day life. Win or lose. However, I do come here to talk about it because I follow UT sports. And that doesn't change the fact that UT looked like shat the majority of the 2011 season.

All those on here that comment the UK loss was the first in their lifetime have probably not seen enough football to make a good evaluation of a staff or program. It is all emotion instead of life experiences. Apparently those that are so distraught over the UK loss have achieved every goal they set for themselves, ultra successful.

I'm glad you understand that; I wish more people did. In fact, I wish somebody had told me that when I despaired over UT after the UGA game. I'm ashamed of the idiocy my parents had to listen to from me then, but i have repented of that and it is past.

Furthermore, I didn't mean to call you out, and I'm sorry. Your post just served as the impetus for a rant that has been forming for a long time. I just think it speaks negatively of us as a culture and a society when we get so upset over something that really means so little.

I guess if I had been in the same state when we lost to UK as when we lost to UGA, I might have been as bad as anyone, so I don't have any room to talk. Next time I feel the need to preach, I'll try doing it without the soapbox.

I'm a work in progress as a person, maybe even as a football fan, lol. I know this because I ain't dead yet! :hi:

Goodnight, VN.


Oh, and GBO!

I'd point out that while it was an awful, pathetic loss...

If its the "first time in your lifetime" that its happened, Tennessee has never been that bad and thin "in your lifetime".

The program has been at that level before (and they've recovered before)...just not in your lifetime.

If they did have their qb they prob wouldn't have scored at all.. They weren't prepared for that.. Didnt have film of a wr playing qb..Shut it down once they saw what they were doing though.. How freaking hard is it to understand? It was our offense that had problems, not our d.. I wonder if any of u ppl that bring this up even watche the game..

Amen. Our offense did struggle, but we shouldn't have allowed anything out of their offense.

It should bother him. For all the struggles we've had, that's the first time since probably UCLA in 2009 that we've lost to a team worse than us.

You can give most of the credit to Bray and pointy head.

I do blame DD for not benching Bray and playing Worley.

There's not a Coach out there that likes to lose. Its good that DD will remember that bitter taste so hopefully it doesn't happen again anytime soon. All teams lose games like this. Remember: Saben and Bama lost to Louisiana Monroe at Home a few years ago but I'm sure that is long forgotten after a few Championships. Hey, a few SEC Championships will make me Forget too! :D

Are we irrelevant in the SEC? How irrelevant did LSU seem in 2001 when they upset us in the SECCG? Well, it had been 13 years since they won a conference title which is now longer than we've gone since winning one--UT is irrelevant in the national and conference landscape for the most part.

If we were 10-1 heading to Atlanta and lost that game I believe alot of y'all would had jump off the pressbox at Neyland. I was pissed that we lost too, but after I thought about it for 2 or 3 days I said **** it. Hey it had to end some time and go ahead and get it over with the season was awash anyway. And yes I understand the extra PT etc. All good things must end, that's reality. Better it happened in a ****ty season that a championship season, I'm just keeping it real. This is a new year let's go out there and kick their ass in 2012!! No wait, better yet lets kick EVERYBODY'S ass in 2012!!!!
