That is about as good of a loss as you can have

We were picked to lose this game by everyone. They said if we got down at all we would get run out of the stadium.

Well not only did we not get run out of the building when we went down 21 points, we came back and looked damn good sending the game to overtime. This was despite our already thin lineup dropping like flies, and on top of it turning the ball over 7 times.

We looked better than A&M today and I am praying that we get them in the Dome. If we had to lose one, this was best case scenario

I feel very, very good about this game! Yes, we lost the game. However; we now what Kelly plays like and also this is the worst game that we will play all year. We had 7 turn overs and many penalities against a team on the road and we still played well enough to win.
If this is our worst game of the season, then we are in good shape from here on out.

Moral victory U. Give me a break with these bull crap good loss posts. No such thing. You don't win ball games turning the ball over 8 times. And there are no good freaking losses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moral victories aren't victories. We did some incredible things but we committed the worst sin in college football 7 times. Hopefully we'll work on it for next week.

We shouldn't have even been in the game with that many turnovers but we were. So you can quit your b**ching now.

No, we should've won by 3 TDs if it wasn't for the turnovers. Apparently you didn't watch the same game I did. TN was by far the better team.

Just wanted to remind you that we are fighting for the SEC and a spot in the CFP. Just 3 years ago we were fighting for bowl eligibility. No loss is a good loss. But we were injury ridden, gave up 7 turnovers, and the refs had it in for us it seemed. All this against the #8 team in the country and we were still in it and sent it to double OT. Absolutely crazy mental toughness in this team. Correct the fumbles, get a couple players healthy, and we can beat Bama.

I said if we had to lose one, this was the best case scenario. We lost to a higher ranked team, on the road, banged up, 7 turnovers, double overtime. Some people like to look on the bright side. You are obviously not one of them. Take a hike

Guys we could very easily be 2-4 we've gotten all the breaks. W that being said this team has elite talent and a lot of potential wait until next week.

You might as well pack your crap and leave.
CBJ is not going anywhere now for the foreseeable future.
He's not great. Hell, He might not be a good coach but he's doing something right.
We are better top to bottom as a football team than we've been in 15 years.
If you think that our university is going to change coaches again anytime soon then you are not living anywhere near reality.

If I were you (I'd shoot myself) I'd start looking for signs that CBJ is improving. It might prevent you from dying of a stroke or heart attack

I'd rather win like App st than lose like this. It sucks not giving yourself a chance to win. 7 turnovers? It's a miracle you didn't lose by 30

There are no "good"losses. There are no "bad" wins. However, this team has got a helluva lot of heart.

Bad loss. Coaching is bad. Why with the defense totally exhausted did we not go for win from 1 and a half yards out instead of withering in overtime. this team has great heart but never plays for 60 minutes. if current linebackers are so good why did Texas A&M rush for 353 yds ? Why has this team started badly for 6 straight games. Great effort,
incredible comeback. Neyland is rolling over in his grave . many big, big mistakes. For example, why did Dobbs not fall on fumble at 2 yard line instead of trying to pick up
ball. This team only plays well for one half ... last six straight games and many of last years games as well...Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, Bowling Green, Arkansas, North Texas ..

If CBJ went for two and didn't convert, you would be calling for his head.
