The last time Tennessee lost by double digits...

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Was two years ago against Alabama. Think about that. From 2010-2013 nearly every loss was a blow out. One of the things that Butch has done that has been overlooked is how he has made us a respectable opponent that no one can overlook. Gone are the days of losing by 30 or 40 to top ranked teams. Last year was a prime example. We played 2 teams who played in the playoff and lost by single digits to both and it was a game until the final seconds.

That is an amazing stat and all the proof anyone needs to prove CBJ is a great coach

Side note: that also corresponds with when Dobbs was named starter. So Dobbs is a baller.

I love Butch JONES! We was on par with vandy and ky b4 he brought us back from the dead! He ended a streak vs GA and Florida! Bama is next! Butch is driven. How do you think he can recruit so well bc he has passion and it's sad the bs he and our players haft to endure. We have the best and worst fan base Cfb

They threw drinks at the players? In the side they were supposed to be cheering for? Tough crowd.

To prove your point even further here's a thread I posted about the 30+ pts beatdowns we use to suffer through.

Definitely Morgan Freeman

Rough days, no doubt. But as the coach of those losses said, "you're not going to have Tennessee to kick around anymore." He was just a few yrs off.

 

[Catbone]

Knock on wood man

 

[dduncan4163]

Holy ****. That was tough to look back at.

Yup I bumped it for that very reason. It seems like an eternity ago but it's been less than 4 years. Amazing

True that. Honestly, i thought when Butch was hired it would be much of the same results from Dooley. So glad I was wrong.

The only obvious response is farh Butch.

This program has definitely changed for the better.

Talent and depth is a beautiful thing.

 

[ItsAllVols]

Yep. most forget the team was bad..players saying the just sign there name to say they worked out..

I do not think our fan base is significantly different from any other fan base that shows a passion for their respective team. Allowing yourself to get as high as we do for the wins, and as low as we do for the losses wil result in some unjustifiable behaviour. It is human nature.
