The Official Tennessee @ #9 Florida Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[508mikey]

Anyone watching Louisville at FSU? Embarrassing the lack of fans there. I'd say half empty. Of course, that will be us going forward unless the visiting team shows up in numbers

They got alot of money from A&M for Fishers buyout, so paying off the loser they hired wont be a problem

Bring on Western Michigan

Hmm, we may not win a conference game this year. At least there's UAB on the schedule.

2-10 baby!!

Does anyone see any reason for us to be optimistic looking forward to next year?

Not one positive reason?

The problem with Tennessee is we just aren't getting the best players from anywhere. Not even our own home state, and when we do they either bust or can't play for whatever reason. This is a very solid coaching staff with some talent. Why can't we look like a competent team? I didn't expect to win but I thought we could play with them. If the staff can't change the "loser" culture they will lose what little they already have in the fold for this recruiting cycle. If that happens the writing is on the wall and we will be a doormat for another decade or more.

We may not be getting the “best” players but we are getting better talent than BYU, Ga State, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Missouri.

not W/L wise but looking forward to seeing Bailey take over and hoping he is the real deal

Our record disagree’s with you, Ga State beat this team physically just like Vanderbilt has been doing
God help Tennessee Feetball

I'm not sure he comes

I long for the day when our QB can pot the open receiver and hit him in stride. We could have already scored 3 TD in the first half and one in the second.

Scott Frost took our last good chance at a highly rated QB. The entire offense depends on QB play regardless of who the team is,imo.

We are the worst team in the conference. That wasn't even a good team that whipped our butts. What a joke.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Chaney and Fullmer are just padding their retirement checks. These has been coaches see where they can get fat checks before leaving. This program is dead.

Actually, I’m thinking Fulmer may be our best hope, doubt anyone is more angry than he is with all this, and he is a position to do something about it.

They didn't have to be good, just good enough. Was Ga. State good? No but that day they were good enough.

One less year on Pruitt's contract.

Fulmer should be fired. Time to gut the gut the whole sh#t show.

Tennessee football is the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The Bad News VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

 

[FlVols]

I sure don’t have the answers but I’m so tired of watching this. Surely the good fans of Tennessee deserve better don’t we? Go Vols. Change something guys.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

I love these early games! Watch us get our butts whipped and then enjoy the rest of my Saturday.

It’s sad that I actually could feel I was happier after the UTC win.

 

[malinoisvol]

2-10 baby!!

That's a pretty optimistic prediction.

 

[tbones0711]

He never looked that way

That's the whole deal in a nutshell. JG can't help himself by looking off the DB's particularly the free safety. He gives himself away by looking down the receiver, so, in essence the receivers appear to be open but it's because the opposing DB's have learned thru film where to gravitate to. In most cases the dump-off swing pass to a back. Although he didn't look good against UTC JT Shrout got the ball out fast which doesn't give DB's time to get reads. Both he and Maurer would get better if they were given the same 4 yrs. as JG has had. We're just gonna have to suck it up as fans. Thee's no sense in promoting "empty Neyland", that will take care of itself.

They shoot horses don’t they?

 

[volfan1631]

Does anyone see any reason for us to be optimistic looking forward to next year?

Yes, A year closer to a new coach

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Maurer had something going but 10 yards out of bounds on 3rd down? Jeez. He isn't the answer either. JG taught him how to rifle in a blazing fastball when guys are 3 yards away as well. Over 215 pages on gameday. The sheer multitude of this fanbase is clearly evident....and we are getting crapped on like i've never seen in my life.

Agree with all except giving up on Maurer, this is the first time he’s played with the first string, against a highly ranked SEC team, and he still moved the team down the field and looked comfortable doing it. Give him more time, geez.

One less year on Pruitt's contract.

If that's the case then it's bad news for us. Another failed coaching hire and another 10 years of being a doormat.
