I'm not gonna lie. We left the game with 2 minutes left in the half because we all felt we needed more alcohol to watch what we were assuming to be a beatdown. Well, as soon as my fiance and I stepped out of Neyland, the first TD fireworks went off and the stadium exploded. If it wasn't for me superstitiously thinking that we started doing better because I left, I would have tried to go back in. Ended up watching the second half at Cool Beans and drinking WAY too many beers. Still had a good time though.
TL;DR I left the game and we started scoring points. You're welcome.
Once again, if at the 24-3 point with 2 minutes left in the first half, you made the statement "we have this we are coming back" after having watched the first 5 games, you are either a liar or mentally deficient.
I will say though, the difference between last night and the previous losses AND win against BGSU is I felt we were where we were due to team errors, not coaching errors. I think last night gave me more hope in the coaching staff than anything else.
Finebaum only knows the names of key players and coaches and exploits that to its fullest to earn a check. This douche knows absolutely nothing about the technical aspects of the game. When you call in and ask him something technical he'll move on to break or the next caller. Just another Howard Stern
"Tennessee is total garbage. Anyone still defending Butch Jones at this point is an idiot." A clay Travis tweet when the Vols were down 24-3. Another talking head who some people insist is really, underneath it all, a Big Orange fan. Negavols come with radio shows as their loudspeakers, Twitter accounts as their loudspeakers, and forums such as this as their loudspeakers. Bottom line. They don't know near as much as they think they do and just spew out their garbage hoping it will stick. Mr. Travis' didn't stick last night.
Good job to the team, but the verdict is still out on the coaching staff. I think butch is the right HC for the job . I like what butch said to dobbs and what dobbs said to butch after the game. However, I still think the staff needs to be looked at. McNeil and Randolph are the worst DBs on the team. Rewatching the game, they both missed numerous tackles. They have a lot of bad habits from the Sal era.
If you people don't stop with the Stern bashing Beetlejuice and me are going to pay you a visit.
Eh, most who are honest were thinking the same at 24-3.
Lots of us were thinking the same thing.....
It's been more than a decade of irrelevance... Stick fair weather where the sun don't shine... There has been none of that in Knoxville for a long time...
This team is 6-0 the staff owns the three losses... I wasn't calling for Butch to be fired yet but it is definitely no longer "Brick by Brick" and had turned into "tick by tick"...
Maybe this is the turning point.. All we can do is HOPE the coaching staff got some seasoning.. Finally... It wasn't the team being green that has been blowing games...
I would love to retire my moniker.. Here is to Butch helping to make that happen...
