Come on GA. You can't tow the company line like Hubbs. You know better. Georgia isn't that good, especially without Chubb

UGA is no world beater, but the Nick Chubb argument is a little bit false imo. Chubb's injury certainly didn't help, but Sony Michel was the playmaker on that team from day 1. I don't think they've won or lost a game because of Chubb.

I stand corrected. You can tow the company line. Interesting.

Georgia's wins- Louisiana Monroe, vandy, Kentucky, auburn, southern, mizzouri and South Carolina. With ga tech and Georgia southern left to play.

Assuming we win out our wins will consist of bowling green, north Texas, western Carolina, South Carolina, vandy, mizzou, Kentucky, and unranked disappointing Georgia without their only game changing player. bowl game doesn't mean much because it will be a lame bowl against a team like us who is playing for nothing. Now we get to go through another long offseason about how close we are and vol fans favorite phrase "but next year"... We still haven't beat Florida for a decade, Bama for damn near a decade and will end the year with zero impressive wins. Love butch to death and believe in him and his recruiting because I don't have a choice but this movie is getting so old and it's becoming embarrassing to be a life long Vols fan. We're the equivalent to the Dallas Cowboys who I hate- great stadium, great tradition, hype every year and known for laying an egg. I'm tired of being the national chatter champions. We've been full of excuses for 15 years and haven't won an sec title for almost 20 years. Put up or shut up next year and save the excuses. Sorry to be negative but it's the gods honest truth and it's coming from a die hard lifelong Vols fan.

Perfect example of someone who should just not even call themselves a fan. TN beat Iowa to start the year and hung with and almost beat three teams who are still in NC hunt. Arkansas will probably end up as runner up in SEC West just like TN will end up runner up in SEC East. Butch has quickly turned around a program that was embarrassing a year or so ago.

Don't be a jerk. I couldn't care less about a company line. UGA is basically Tennessee c. 2007. Definitely not elite, but good enough to finish ranked 20th or so.

Bet you're a hoot at social gatherings.

You be depressed and miserable and "embarrassed" of your fandom all you want, punkin. I choose to watch and cheer and yell for the Vols come hell or high water... No embarrassment necessary.

When UT returns to prominence... And we will... You may safely return to your seat on the bandwagon.

OH come on. For one, I don't talk about the injuries not mattering or not. Secondly, Chubb is a difference maker. Shows where this place stands when GA acts like he's not.

I'm a huge tn fan and have been all my life and still am. Doesn't mean I can't be honest and tell the truth. I'll be ecstatic when we return to prominence but I've been waiting on that for 15 years. Just tired of the excuses from our fan base. It's getting old.

You seem to believe we only beat UGA because they didn't have Chubb.

The same argument could be made that the only reason we've lost a game is because we've not had North, Jackson, Maggit, and Tuttle.

You seem to be thinking I've said things other posters say. Maybe you should research better.

If you want to cheer for someone else go ahead (you probably already do). If you want to post somewhere else go ahead (you would not be missed). Some of us can see the improvement since 2013 when we lost games by scores of 59-14, 55-23 and 45-10 and are proud of the win over Georgia where we overcame a 24-3 deficit and some negative plays early in the game. Georgia has a lot of talent and that WAS a quality win. At this time of the year you can say something negative about just about anyone to support whatever narrative you wish to spin. There was no point to this trash of a post.

Eventually you get to a point where you are just glad to watch your team play. Expectations lead to disappointment. Cheer for the Vols and hope we win. That is all we can do.

Seriously? I think he's 1 recruiting class away from a NC. We were in every single game this year after only two recruiting classes.

You can't be serious... Butch will never be a good enough coach to win an SEC title, much less a NC. He recruits on a national level. Coaches on a Big East level.

If Butch Jones could coach as well as he can recruit the Vols would have won the SEC east this year, no?

That's worked out fine for Les Miles.

There's nothing wrong with our scheme or staff (evident by our ability to play with teams like Bama who clearly have more talent). UT fans have always *****ed about scheme and coaching

Surely you really don't believe we have to have the number 1 class every year to compete? If not, then your comment about recruiting behind Bama is irrelevant
Click to expand...

There's things wrong with every scheme to some degree and our delayed handoffs with no QB reads is baffling.

Our QB coaching and o line coaching is sub par.

Jancek is ok.

Gillespie and Stripling seem solid.

Fulmer was 100 games over .500 and he was very stubborn with his staffing. Had he dropped Sanders, Slade, Washington, etc he may have had a couple more SEC titles. Butch strikes me as awfully stubborn, but we'll see

I don't think we need the #1 class every year but unless I'm missing something (and I'm not a religious follower of recruiting) we're tracking for the 6-8th class in the conference.

I'm not really a believer in classes that "fill needs" or at least I don't hear Saban and Urban talking a lot about that. They seem to reload.

UF is only going to get better. Saban is gonna Saban.

Hey, I hope I'm wrong. Heck I'd settle for an east title after the decade we've had.

You're not allowed to say negative things about Tennessee even if they're true. This is volnation.. Only excuses and moral victories allowed. Lol
