So we're 6-4....

I would bet no one who predicted 8-4 thought UT would lead by double digits against 2 top 10 teams and lead by 1 against Alabama late in the 4th.

I know I didn't, and I said 9-3

I said 10-2. But I thought Oklahoma and Florida would be mediocre this year. And I didn't think we would have so many injuries.

queue the meltdown when we go 1-1 in the next 2 games..

I think focusing on Mizzou is the best decision at this point. I hope the players don't take those guys lightly, Mizzou has OWNED UT in last 3 years... STOCK. LOCK & BARREL.

BREAK THE STREAK.

This is a sign of a young football; team with a good football coach that is growing with the team, time will tell like the 16 season if we are are at 6 and 4 this time next year then we might have a problem the 16 season is the no excuse team or season, time to put up or shut up.

I feel this way. If we're losing games like this next year its gonna be a problem.

Anybody see the BU-OU game last night? BU was out of that game because of one injury-the QB. Not a young team,but they never were in it. That's what injuries do to a team and that is what happened to UT early in the season. Every team has 'em but we've had more than our share so I'm happy with where we are. Long way to go to get to where I want to be but it takes time.
For those whose beliefs are that we need a "decent coach", one question:Who are you going to hire three years ago for less than $5million/yr. ?

Who do you suggest we hire to make us " truly special"?

Sorry for my redundant question, OFV, but I've asked the same thing before and to my knowledge, nobody has answered except for the usual Saban, Meyer pipe dreams that NO program could have funded, outside of Harvard.

Some of you are rather slow. Mizzou owned everyone in the east the last couple of years. Thats how you become back to back champs.

But this year, everyone else has owned them. They are 1-5 in the conference for a reason. We should beat them easily of the team that played Kentucky shows up rather than the team thats played the last 2 weeks.

You're wrong. Oklahoma was simply the better team. They actually play defense. Something Baylor is immune to.

Very good post. However be prepared to get flamed for it.

With Russell at the helm, OU likely gets beaten. Stidham is a true freshman, which OU took advantage of. Saying OU was simply the better team is incorrect because we didnt see the best Baylor team.

Well Mercury I'm surprised and a bit disappointed. I thought for sure Wylo would have the answer we seek at his fingertips. :)

With Pinkles retirement announcement, it has made the game a little more difficult. If he hadnt announced that then I would say we win easily. Now the win will be a little more difficult. I cannot wait for this game

You can look at this glass half full or half empty and both make a whole lot of sense.

Hall full

Tennessee has only lost games to good teams and could have won each of them. With a little bit of luck or the right bounce of the ball, Tennessee could be 9-1 or 10-0 all with a pretty young football team. Tennessee was able to run the ball well for the first time in years.

Half empty

Tennessee found ways to lose. Again. You can put lipstick on the pig all you want, but they pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory. Sometimes in mind numbing fashion because of highly questionable coaching decisions. Worse still, a team that Tennessee hates that most thought would be lucky to be bowl eligible is sitting where Tennessee could be. In addition, the QB still can't throw the football and WR talent has been completely wasted

/ thread!

OP, winning the SEC East this year is like being the tallest midget. 99, spot on.

But, we're not undefeated and the UGA game doesn't count this year. Debord is old. Dobbs can't throw. We're playing xxxx on the O-line instead of xxxx. Butch is too conservative. Our team plays down to opponents. Ugly wins.

Did not say BU was ever better, only that injuries play a sometimes big role in game outcomes. Agree that OU plays defense and BU is and has been lacking D,but you cannot take a player out that has put up 400-600 yds. of offense per game and replace him with a freshman and expect the outcome to be better or the same. Hence the reference to UT's situation this year.

This is it. We are here. We are playing good solid football once again. People expecting to go 11-0 every year is just unrealistic. With a few breaks going our way this year we are 9-1 or 10 ourselves. Under Butch we will always be close to championships and in our fair share of them.

Relax people, and just enjoy watching the game. Stop wanting a coach to get fired just because you're tired of hearing that a$$hole coworker that no one really likes brag about their bandwagon team winning a game.

Nothing is worse than a Bama fan, or a UF fan who is from Tennessee and lives in Tennessee. I always make fun of those cheese puffs.

Hope you all have a great day!

Injuries are part of it. If you haven't noticed we've lost a large percentage of our starters this year. That's why building depth is key to winning championships if you are recruiting at a high level, which Butch is doing. Our performance this year should help solidify another great class.
