Let me make you feel better BabyAvi:That doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies for this weekend. I’ll go ahead and brace for another nut-kick performance.
Those huge cushions... and that crappy ass soft zone where guys just stand there as receivers just kind of find a hole and stand there with 2-3 guys just dickfiddling around them..and then look like a bunch of spastics trying to "tackle" the guy as he gets another 10 yards.
There is just no excuse for any of that.
Hope so, bud. We can’t afford another bad loss. Need to put a winning taste back in our mouths the last 2 games.Let me make you feel better BabyAvi:
Candy’s pass defense is worse than ours
Squirrel gets more reps now and that’s Milton’s favorite target- you can’t guard him one on one
Their QB is very average, at least rattler was a five star
Banks is back and that will help immensely for our defense
We’re gonna win by 14+
i still think the orange and Sugar are in play. we did beat Bama and LSU, so on the field, qualified. we travel and we're great on TV. LSU is an hour or whatever away from New Orleans, so i really don't think the Sugar necessarily wants LSU, and i can't imagine the SEC would disagree.
Bama...they're kinda the wildcard. Bama fans, will they travel to Miami, New Orleans or Dallas w/no playoff or national title in play?
and the other commonality, i don't think any of the 3 want to go to the Cotton bowl to play Cincy or Tulane. all kinds of meh.
if we win Saturday, LSU loses next week, and Bama wins....i think it shakes out Bama/TN to Sugar/Orange, and LSU to the Cotton.....that should make the most sense, if it plays out. if we lose to Vandy....then who will really care. lol.
58Seeing poster’s ages in prior posts, I am curious of the age range in this great thread. I am 31 and about to be 32 in a couple weeks.
Just turned 42 a month ago.I'm about to turn 38...here's a recap of the most miserable losses of my fandom with the Vols
1994 - 31 to 0 loss to Florida
1995 - 62 to 37 loss to Florida
1997 - 42 to 17 loss to Nebraska in Orange Bowl (this loss was personally one of the hardest as a fan I've experienced being Peyton's last game as a Vol)
2001 - 31 to 20 loss to LSU in SEC Championship (not a blowout, but we were 2nd in the country and beating LSU would have meant playing for the national title...and LSU was a bad 3 loss team)
2002 - 30 to 3 loss to Maryland in Peach Bowl
2003 - 41 to 14 loss to Georgia at home (we had beat the Gators in the swamp, got upset by Auburn the week before so ya think the team will respond and then this beating happened)
2003 - 27 to 14 loss to Clemson in Peach Bowl (we were 10-2 and 6th ranked going into this game against an unranked 9-4 team, also Casey Clausen's last game as a Vol)
2004 - 38 to 28 loss to Auburn in SEC Championship game (Had gotten blowout in Neyland by 24 earlier to them, we beat Florida, Georgia, and Bama this season and get the rematch...then lose again and Rick Clausen was absolute GARBAGE yeah Ainge got hurt...but we had 2 1K RBs this year)
2005 - the whole season...I was honestly done with Fulmer this year. Lost to South Carolina and Vandy
2007 - 59 to 20 loss to Florida (Urban Myer & Tim Tebow do it for the 3rd straight year, this time in a blowout we never beat them while Urban was there)
2007 - 41 to 17 loss to Alabama (Nick Saban era begins...they lost 4 straight after skull dragging us too)
2007 - 21 to 14 loss in our last SEC Title game appearance and in amazing fashion with a 14-13 lead in the 4th Ainge throws a pick 6
2008 - the whole season...the fact Fulmer had this season with Arian Foster, Montario Hardesty, Denarius Moore, Rico McCoy, Eric Berry, Robert Ayers, & Dan Williams on the team is even worse... the team finished 5-7 averaging 17.3 ppg on offense (111th) and giving up 16.8 ppg on defense (10th)
Kiffin year - 42 to 17 to Ole Miss (how do you allow Dexter McCluster to rack up 324 yards from scrimmage and 4 TDs...) and then 37 to 14 to Virginia Tech in bowl game (31 rushes for 5 yards, Crompton was sacked so many times...)
Dooley Era
Year 1: 41 to 14 loss at Georgia (who finished 6-7)...Oregon was really good, as was Florida and both were early games so those beatings a bit easier to stomach...Bray starts at Memphis and the offense awakens he went 4-1 to end the season and offense averages 35.4 ppg really questioning why Matt Simms kept starting in those first 8 games
Year 2: quite a few games were frustrating...but losing 49 to 7 at Arkansas...Bray was out sure, but Simms was a Senior and in his 2nd year with you...how was he not better?
Year 3: we all know the game, 41 to 18 loss at Vandy...WTF happened? Bray was healthy, Hunter, Patterson, Rivera, Neal, Lane...all played. Only 3 teams that season held us below 30 points...Florida, Bama and ****ING VANDY
Butch Era
Year 1: Honestly gave him a pass after how poorly Dooley was at everything
Year 2: 34 to 3 at Ole Miss, this was honestly the game where I was done with Worley completely
Year 3: The OU game...not a blowout, not a bad loss...but how we blew that one 28 to 7 to end the game in double OT. Finishing the season with 6 straight wins though really had you thinking especially with how one sided the Outback Bowl was
Year 4: at South Carolina with a shot to win SEC East...then at Vandy with shot to still get the Sugar Bowl
Year 5: Everything after Indiana State...finished 2-8 and even the 2 wins weren't impressive
Pruitt Era
I'll be honest...soon as I saw how bad the offense was against West Virginia I was already on alert. The fact he never got the defense to an elite level while having an offense that didn't finish a season in the top 95 for scoring = BADDD
Heupel Era
Year 1: not even Heupel's fault honestly, but losing to Ole Miss. We flat out got hosed and it really should have been a major upset and redemption against Kiffin but that's not the narrative the SEC wanted and they made sure it didn't happen.
Year 2: 63 to 38 loss to South Carolina, of course it was miserable and no sugar coating it...we're only in year 2 and looking back at these other bad games this one will ultimately I think be easier to forget in time than some of the others...mainly because Year 2 and we overachieved this season and it was a run that was bound to eventually get derailed. Figured it'd be Ohio State doing it to us in the first round of the CFP though...at least before Saturday that was the nut kick I was expecting
3 out of 4 of the Cover 3 guys picked Vandy to cover as well. Mostly because former host Barton Simmons is the GM at VU now and they just want a big win for their show. Bud Elliott, whose opinion I respect the most on that show, did not take Vandy.
