Where have you been for the last 10 years? When is the last time we have beaten vandy and Kentucky in the same season? SC is very beatable but adds to the hill, then you have Missouri who is definitely a better football team than we are now. Not saying we can't get there, but stop acting like it's an easy path for this team.

It's not a mountain. We should have easily beaten Georgia State and should not have lost to BYU. We were never expected to beat Florida or Georgia. Are the odds less than 50-50? Yes. But it's not a mountain, that's ridiculous. Vandy is pitiful, Kentucky is weak, USC and MSU both massively underachieving. We can beat any of those teams, and may just.

Didn't say it was an easy path, but the mountain would be beating Alabama, not beating the weak teams mentioned above.

And for the record, we beat Kentucky and Vandy in 2015, not that long ago. In fact, we have beaten Kentucky 4 of the last 5 and more.

Splitting hairs about this mountain.

Assuming we beat UAB, we'd need four of these 5.....I'm thinking our chances are much less grim with a win this weekend.



KY, SC, Vandy, Mizz, MS. ST

Mizz is probably the least likely win (don't think we'll slow down their offense)....So this game is huge for those that still haven't thrown in the towel. If you have, no reason to comment : )

Well, if you want a bowl, Wal-Mart has decent prices for them.

Ha - The Vol Bowl.

We could set up a Tennessee tournament to crown the state champ with UT, Chatt, Memphis, Vandy, ETSU, etc.

Bob Kesling: So the Vols come from behind to beat Southeastern Idaho in the Vol Bowl. Your final score from Neyland Stadium, Tennessee 21 Southeastern Idaho 17.

Do you even know what justified means? He has ZERO justification in his opinion. Justification is facts and knowledge, which he has none. You want to argue with that? We are not all Vol brothers and sisters. You can take that crap somewhere else. My Vol brothers and sisters lift up instead of tear down. They believe instead of put down. That’s true Vol fans or any fans for that matter. There is enough of that going around without it coming from Negavols.

There's zero facts or knowledge that can lead to the conclusion we aren't going to a bowl? That's your stance? Cool. Hope you're having a good time in Sunshine Lolipop world.

At the beginning of this season, UT football schedule probably looked to climb the Cumberland Plateau. After the loss to Ga St., Mt. Le Conte was the new height to climb too, during one of those winter storms that hits there.

Yep. That loss is the boat anchor dragging us down. However, there is still time to fix it, but need the W today.
