I think everyone is just upset with how far we have slid down, and we know how hard it is to get back up. It seems that we are just slipping on jagged rocks while our rivals do nothing but get better and better.
It's tough to be a Vols football fan right now. It's been tough for a while and it's going to be tough for a while, no doubt about it. Our rivals are just too good for us to be mediocre and continuously finish ahead of them. We play the BEST teams in the country every single season, and our program has fallen quite a bit.
Will we eventually be back to where we want to be? Yes, we will. But it's going to take time. Just look at Alabama. It took well over a decade for them to be competitive again. Sometimes it's just hard to be positive. We just need to focus on what we have going for us, what's coming in the future, and hopefully a stable coaching staff will bring it all together. Go Big Orange.
