It's over

And I am not okay. Dammit.

Watching Blakely walking off the field today after warm-ups, just SO CLEARLY trying to take in every second, y'all that wrecked me. That's this whole season to me.

Watching these players play for each other all season, and the coaches showing love for these guys, that's Tennessee to me.

It's family. It's "I have your back", even when it doesn't go right, even when we disagree, even when it's hard and I don't want to.

Please don't dismiss how blessed we are to be Tennessee.

I love y'all.

Go Vols

You know, I listened to the postgame and every single player spoke first and most about the brotherhood and camaraderie on the team, how they love each other, how they’re brothers for life, how they love the coaches and Tennessee. They thanked the fans.
That’s a definite shift from what we’ve had in awhile.
I’m so thankful to see it and I thank God every day for letting me be a Vol.

The one thing from Hyp's presser I liked - stating we are all upset - the players, coaches, passionate fans. If we aren't, we or they don't belong here.

Love this post. Well said.

Well said dude.

If we had to lose, which is never good don't get me wrong, I'm saying IF we had to lose-then this is a good loss for multiple reasons.

1. Only game on at the time as is the case with most bowls, but this one was getting a lot twitter, etc reactions even before the ending. Basically, an exciting game. This probably caused some-including future recruits-whobwere not watching initially to tune in

2. Most reactions agree that the Vols got hosed.

Overall, I'm disappointed but not heartbroken. This has been a fun year for UT on the football field win or lose. We were never going to the playoffs this year, but quite frankly has been the most entertaining 6 loss season I ever recall.
