im glad we have a bye before Florida week. Nice to have some time to get better before probably the most critical game of the year.

I really want to get up big early, but not look back this time, and welcome horse face and staff to the SEC

Would be nice if we did all sorts of crazy **** against WCU. Just to eff with the gators. Like passes and stuff.

Fixed the link for you...

https://footballconcepts.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/what-is-wrong-with-the-tennessee-passing-attack/

Great writeup. Basically the same things we've seen here. Attack the middle of the field more, OL was bad, and WRs couldn't get separation.

After reading that and watching the clips it makes me feel better and worse about the team at the same time. Most of what went wrong is easily correctable but it concerns me greatly that the staff couldnt/wouldnt make some simple adjustments.

Where are the hot routes vs a corner blitz? Where are the shallow crosses? Imo a lot of the lack of separation from the WRs is scheme related. I hope the staff is willing to make the necessary adjustments.

If the OL can get just a little bit better the rest of it can be fixed with scheme adjustments.

Ughh!

Makes me sick, to see Pig tear off on that wheel route with the defenders fingers in the grass, and Dobbs getting hit for a fumble. Would have been huge

I guess it's better that this happen early in the season than late. Imagine if Missouri did this to us in November and it cost us the East. I'll take this as a good lesson for a young team.

So it's been long enough for me to recover. I feel a gif chain is part of the healing, so here goes...



Before the game, I was like...

Then we kicked the FG and I was like...

But then we started rolling and I was like...

Then we started to sputter but I was like...

When we kept on sputtering I had visions of 2001 SECCG and 95 FL game and I was like...

As the second half went on I was like...

Then the mistakes started happening and I was like...

And then they tied it up and I was like...

After we lost, for 4 days I was like...

Now I'm like...

So guys I'm debating on going to the game tomorrow. On one hand, I have a lot on the to do list, and my 3 year old wants to go to the park. I planned on spending the day with him anyway, as I'm going to the swamp to watch us drain it and will be away for a couple of days. On the other hand, I have an extra ticket and could take him to his first game, but I'm not sure he'll be old enough to remember/understand it. Plus it's a 3 hour drive one way to the stadium, and that's tough on a toddler. Decisions..

IMO - there is no better place in the world than Neyland on a Saturday in the fall. Bout time Jr learns that too.

Take him to the game. Tell him he's going to a huge park. Tell him there will be thousands of people there. Tell him there will be hot dogs and other goodies, a parade, and a bunch of clowns. And don't forget to tell him about Smokey!

Take him to the game. Tell him you're taking him to a different park. When you get there, play dumb and tell him, "gosh, this park's pretty crowded, huh?"

So I will be that one. I decided not to try to take my 5 year old to the BG game because he had never sat down and watched much of a game with me at home. He just turned 5, and attention span takes him somewhere else. It would be miserable at a game, and we were 3 hours away from Nashville.

I can't imagine taking a 3 year old, especially for a 7:00 game. I have a 5 year old, 3.5 year old, and 10 month old. My take is enjoy the day at home with him, and then enjoy the trip away when we beat the Gators.

I agree with this. At 3 years old it is very likely he won't even remember and it could turn into a frustrating day for both of you.

I don't think I can handle UK beating UF. My anxiety next week will be too much. Would like to come away convinced a team can throw on the Gators... That's about it though.
