Georgia State's new sign

[Volfan1000]

The Georgia State and Rutgers losses are the two worst losses in program history.

It is their greatest athletic achievement so no wonder they are proud.

However, that was a Pruitt N JG team so it's like winning the <insert offense sports reference here>

Like winning Granny's Backwater Boogie Toilet Bowl?

Fellow VFLs: To own the victories we gotta own the defeats.
That is sports. That is life.

If it helps, use the GSU debacle as a reminder of how far we've bounced back under Heupel.

And most importantly, Tennessee fans kept coming back to Neyland until we finally got it right. That's worth taking pride in!

Western Michigan beat them by 47 two weeks later and there was still a handful of fans that were giving out the "why don't you send in your resume to the AD if you think you can do better"

With all honesty, I did think I could do better. I could have hired some quality assistant and and just stayed out of their way. Pruitt was one of the worst head coaches I've ever seen.

The moral of the story....don't ever schedule these types of schools. The SEC is know for scheduling out of conference "patsies", but once in a while; this type of game can happen. Best to always schedule P5 schools.

Or just play like you should and win. Every conference has these type of games.

Glad to know we played such a big role in their history.

Ehhhh.....

looking back on it, I'm not sure it was an "upset."
Jokes on them...............

 

[SpookyAction]

I am experiencing secondhand embarrassment for them.

Pretty sure the embarrassment is all ours.

Exactly. Let’s not act like this was Appy State vs UM level comparison. We sucked

 

[stolitonic]

And Chattanooga

Tiger High says hello. Now, maybe just a bad loss. In 1996 or whatever, it was on par with Appt St-Michigan.

It was the night of a Tyson Holyfield fight I believe.

North TX State says hi!

Jack Crowe also says hi

And Chattanooga

Had to Google that one to believe it! I had heard my dad talk about the Bowden Wyatt years but that was before my time.

I'd have a lot more respect for him than I do now. Still don't understand how you can fail so miserably at the one thing you were brought in to do to "save" the program.

Wasn’t like there were many who would have taken the job at the time.

How many on here praised the choice and related it back to being a Saban disciple? How many praised it because he was a hard nosed football coach?

Don’t forget the 1996 loss to a 3 win Memphis St.

I think Dooley was worse. Pruitt actually put together a 8-5 season and 5-3 SEC record in 2019 winning the Gator Bowl meanwhile Dooley never had one winning season in his 3 year tenure I mean they were both terrible coaches but I think Dooley is worse just by a nose. No doubt the darkest days for UT football were 2010-2020.

The Memphis and North Texas State losses do indeed rank up there with Georgia State and Rutgers.

Every major sport at Tennessee has a Top 10 wins and losses list in program history.

1975 I believe

And that wast a very good Chattanooga team either. It wasnt like they were Appy State with Armanti Edwards at QB. They finished the season 5-5.

Pretty sure the embarrassment is all ours.

Tennessee took the L but nobody, nobody, puts up a banner for a regular season game.

 

[kyvol98]

The day Fulmer should have fired Pruitt.

The day Fulmer should have been fired..... AGAIN!

 

[aRmo]

That loss sucked but good for them man. I would have that plastered on alot of the signs around their campus. Huge win for them. I dont hate this at all.
