Reality of 2016 Season

Your extrapolation is on you.

Ok. "A team". Very specific....whatever.

True fan alert true fan alert

Am I out?

 

[BeecherVol]

No you just said "a team". Extrapolation suggests you're likely speaking of a team many thought we had no business losing to.

This whole thread reads like a manifesto.

Train wreck

Am I out?

of your mind.

 

[jakez4ut]

Train wreck

Yep.

Went fishing and forgot the water component.

Injuries affected the TAM game. Maybe the competitive nature of the Bama game (not the outcome).

Injuries should not have affected the SCAR game or the Vandy game. We should have had enough depth to beat those two with second and third string. Especially SCAR with a week off and we actually got guys back that week.

Sorry, those 2 losses were inexcusable.

Pretty much but the injuries still were major factors. And in the SC game you've got your 5 star prima dona refusing to go in. That's demoralizing as hell on any level but especially to a bunch of college aged players. Candy played 10 miles over their heads against reserves and out of position inexperience players. No excuses but there are reasons.

Injuries were without question the major killer for team 120. It sucked but it happened.
Tell me how you would feel about our chances playing a team in the following scenario.
Players out for their team.
3 starting Dlinemen
2 starting LB and team Capt.
Best DB and Team Capt
Makeshift Oline
Best Punt returner
Best Kickoff returner in nation.

How would you like our chances of beating a team with these losses?

If you are going to hang your hat on these excuses:
1. You better smoke App State when you are healthy
2. Better not lose to Vandy or South Carolina
3. Better not ask for a raise and send the message that you believe this is acceptable

"A" team as in no particular team. No team specifically just whomever we're facing.

Not a difficult concept to those who have a working knowledge of the English language.

Now I know how you like to look for hidden meanings in Jones pressers (which aren't there) but this was a very straight forward question.

It's implied if you're not very bright I suppose.

Solid response. Keep on keepin' on.

Just as solid as you changing the meaning of the question and then implying something totally different to meet your specific agenda.

No agenda here. Just a lifelong Vol fan who can admit that Butch blew 2 games he shouldn't have this season.

It doesn't make me negative, and it doesn't mean I want him fired. It just means that I acknowledge he will not last if he continues to lose those kind of games.

The USC game was off a frigging bye week and Vandy was for the sugar bowl. Unbelievable losses. We had 11-1 talent and went 8-4. Kudos to Butch for fixing the mess, but at some point the results have to match the hype.

there's a word for this post coming from you....ironic.

Trying to correct it but it's been in flames for awhile.
