From what he is saying he feels that Thursday was a fluke and thinks this week is going to be completely different team taking the field.
Don't know if that is good or if it's the kiss of death.

It's gotta be better or the same. Don't think it could be much worse from the offensive side of the ball.

I think app st was the worse game that we will see this season. I am usually very pestimistic every year basically since 2007. I have a feeling our men are going to come out and play ball. They weren't all there Thursday. Let's just come out and win.

I know. I've said the same thing several times since last Thursday.i believe we will look back on that game and realize either our performance was a fluke or App state played their tails off against us.

It will be incremental.......The running backs have a field day in Bristol, Dobbs throws a bomb or two at Ohio, Florida suffers from the three headed monster in our back field as well as the emergence of Byrd as the new deep threat, and then Chubb can't run because of an anchor named Tuttle wrapped around his legs.

It culminates against bama when Bain runs on to the field, foaming at the mouth like he just ate a box of Alka Seltzers, and immediately collapses bama's o-line.

Brick by brick!

I heard it was both ears.

I'm amongst those that think last week was the exception not the rule. Vegas agrees or we wouldn't be 10 favorite. Trust Vegas. We are gonna be fine.

Herbstet has said the same thing.He expects to see a different team Saturday night.


"Fans go through this every year because they're nervous and intense, but Tennessee’s going to be fine,” Herbstreit said. "If I were a Tennessee fan, I would take that game and throw it in the trash. The team did not show up and appreciate Appalachian State. They escaped, they got outplayed, but found a way to win. They're going to have a completely different energy about them. In college football, if you play flatlined emotionally, you’re going to get exposed.

"They were lucky to find a way to win that game. Appalachian State proved to all of us they were a physical, nasty bunch of football players. I kind of knew that about App St., but Tennessee surprised me that they weren't locked in. Tennessee will look very, very different against Virginia Tech."

I hope you're right. But I still have a feeling that Bama is gonna roll us by about 28. It's always sickening late in the 4th quarter when there are more tide fans in Neyland than Vols.

I bet you thought the same thing last year with the Bama game. Of course if Bama does best the brakes off of us, that will probably make you happy so you can justify your Butch hate.

My Butch hate is justified based on 39 games. Not sure what your Butch support is based on. Were you told to never question anyone in authority? Maybe you believe that a UT coach can do no wrong. Or you're happy that after 3 years he's won most of his games against Vandy. Blame it on Dooley, blame it on the officials, blame it on the fans, blame it on the players, but never blame it on the guys making over $10,000,000 a year

Am I saying Butch is the greatest coach? Nope. Has he had his share of screw ups? Yes. Has he done a poor job at times? Hell yes. Can a UT coach do wrong? Oh hell yes. Every UT coach I have ever seen has done wrong and screwed up.

Whats my support come from? Butch has brought us from a good season having 6 wins to a 9 win season, 2-0 bowl record against good opponents and has given us our first real recognition as being contenders for anythinh other than doormat status in a decade. He hss brought Tennessee back into national relevance again. I think some just dont understand how bad UT football became since 2007.

Kiffin and Dooley did their best to destroy this football program. Thank God they didn't succeed but they were not far. Obviously you and some others do not really understand what football is. You erroneously believe that its all coaching. Sorry but its not. Football is a team sport that requires playing and coaching. Butch has screwed up plenty in his time at Tennessee. That cannot be argued. But he is just part of the problem. Yes in some respects officials have been to blame. Are the players to blame? Yes they are. In every loss they have failed to execute when it counts to win. Is Butch to blame in every loss? Yes. He has failed to make adjustments and has made bad decisions. But like I said its a team sport that requires coaching and player execution to succeed. One cannot flourish without the other. Thats my opinion. Feel free to post yours.
