Got a bad feeling about Vandy

Folks have a super short memory. We are in a far better place than we were after the 3-7 season with Pruitt.

Given all the off-season drama and QB turmoil, we actually finished a game better than I thought. This was set up to be a 7-5 or 8-4 win season. That’s where we are.

Beating Vandy would have been gravy. And missing the FG with Georgia feels like we let that one get away.

Vandy is the better team this year. Period. It wasn’t a fluke. We’re not down. They’re just better this year. And if you’ve watched any of their games, you would have known that.

I actually predicted 8-4 before the season, but when we got more production out of Aguilar and the offense than expected, I think expectations adjusted for everyone. The disappointment comes from the defense falling so far short of expectations. If the defense had even been serviceable, this could have been a playoff team again.

I am in no way calling for JH to be replaced, but how much more mileage are we going to get out of the “remember how bad it was when he got here” narrative? We’re five years in. It’s time to let that go.

Well, be careful what you wish for. What are you replacing Heupel with? Do you have an extra $90 million for an “Upgrade”, because that’s the new bar that’s been set.

Well I’d didn’t expect such a **** show from the offense to be fair. I thought we’d win like 55-35 lol

This also is not a post you want to be right about it regardless so the thread has no reason to be bumped.

I posted that I thought Vandy was a solid team and felt like they wanted it more and would upset Tennessee. Everyone made fun and said we would beat Vandy “that’s what we do”. The Vols overlooked a better team and got blown out of their own house. I would have been happier to be wrong, but my picks are usually pretty good.
