'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Vanderbilt Pre-game/Game Thread

[GoBigOrange86]

I hoped I’d never see us embarrassed by Vanderbilt again, but here we all are.

 

[ChattownVFL]

We have wayyy more talent. No ****ing excuse

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

To be clear, we're not losing this game because of talent. This is 100% on coaching. Defense is terrible and the offense is inconsistent. Heupel has to make some changes this offseason for the program to progress...if he doesn't already have one foot out the door. He's definitely been acting a lot more subdued lately.

 

[VolsLFC]

Do we somehow get extra points for hanging on to these timeouts!?

 

[UTK]

It’s a game that’s a fireable offense. Vanderbilt is Vanderbilt. You don’t lose to them and not have someone get fired. CJH has too much momentum in recruiting and the pieces are there on the offense to be be very good next year. So naturally we have to pinpoint the biggest issue. Tim Banks. If he’s not fired, there will be zero excitement in offseason. 24 points wasn’t good enough from the offense tonight, but the defense hasn’t been good enough all season besides a Florida team that mailed it in anyways. I still think coach can get it done here but you o do turnout have to make the hard decisions. But in this case it should be a comically easy decision

Fans are leaving. Vandy fans are annoying. The rich boosters need to be moved.

 

[JCP201]

It won’t happen. We will be saying this same crap this time next year.

Didn't we have top defense last year and lost two of the best

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Easily the most unlikeable team heup has had


Staff was trash this yr and I could give you 25 examples without thinking ab it hard.

Only redeeming factor to this is this absolutely HAS to force Heupels hand on Tim Banks.

He doesn’t have the balls. He will go down with his coaches because he got ousted at OU he won’t do it to someone else. He will take the program down with him.

Josh, doing nothing this offseason is not acceptable. You can’t sit there and look this fanbase in the eyes and tell them this staff if good enough.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Hey Tim, they are going to run the ball, try a run blitz or bringing your safeties up.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The offensive 2nd half collapse is the most disappointing part. Has nothing to do with Banks.

 

[Smokey123]

Pathetic

I just think blaming the refs in a game that we are getting absolutely whipped is soft. I think you're a little off on your objectivity. I see one team whipping my team like a bunch of rented mules. All good but every fanbase in America always thinks their team is getting cheated. We are simply not very good, especially on defense. It's sad but true and is about to get real for Heupel as the natives don't like getting killed in Knoxville at home. Going to be insufferable. Pavia is a punk but the dude is a gamer.

 

[VolMike16]

I like Heup, but this game and season is unacceptable. Just not good enough.

Nah man. We're young. It's a rebuilding year. Blue font

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I can't believe our defense is this dogsh*t

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Ha Swiss cheese.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Time for Josh to get a little uncomfortable.

 

[Weezer]

At this point, just destroy Pavia. We've lost the game, but let's hurt the pipsqueak.

And yes, I'm bitter.

 

[TheBigOne10]

No defending this staff.

 

[UTK]

45 points to a high school offense. Go **** yourself Tim.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

This is a very pruitt/dooley/butch loss

 

[Govolsman98]

Tim banks is an enemy of the program. Keeping him is proof we are run by Birmingham. Anyone who disagrees with this is also an agent of Birmingham. Probably has Saban on speed dial

 

[vol4eva]

I can’t believe this soft **** defense man. F this

 

[IhateGA]

Blow out, called it
