The Official Tennessee vs. North Texas Game Thread, 12:00 pm ET, SEC Network

No, I'd rather support our team than ***** and moan all the time, especially when they're on the cusp of doing something that hasn't been done in a very long time around here. I refuse to be like those here who'd rather have us lose, just to prove their belief that the coaching staff "sucks."

Not everyone sees it as u do. With this kind of mediocre football every fan is not going to have same opinion.

Some are passionate and upset that this team is strugglin so bad against this mean green.

Some are anchored down in the mediocrity and are pleased

 

[Ty4Vols]

Starters still in to begin the fourth quarter. Great game planning at its finest on RockyTop.

Kamara looks enthused at least.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

And the O-Line still sucks. They piss me off when Hurd or Kamara can't get a push.

 

[Sin City Vol]

We had better success against Bama on offense. And Kamara needs more touches, that dude is quick. He needs between 15-20 touches a game

 

[kwyjibo]

Yeah, just messing with you. It's cool.

You'd have to mess harder than that. I used to spend quite a bit of time on quest years ago. Got bored with message forum junk. The threads and topics never change, win or lose. Some are never happy, some can't see the storm.

At the end of the day, you're as good as your record.

 

[hooperj75]

Why do we not use the tight ends more?

 

[Volstylexx]

This game is absolutely meaningless. You people are hilarious. TN could be up 45-0 and you'd still cry.

Yup just like they cried because we only beat SC by 3.

 

[Cartervol]

And they'll still lose.

I hope so.

 

[volinbama256]

Kamara LITERALLY the only one playing with fire today. ONLY ONLY KID OUT THERE...

 

[jhcrane14]

Best drive of the game.

 

[catchnburn]

You're honestly happy with this year?

UGA win looks worse every week

Multiple repeated leads to losses

Moral victory against a Bama team just looking to make their Bye

Almost blown lead against USC

Struggling against one of the worst teams in NCAA

If this was Year 1, it'd be one thing but this is Year 3

I'm satisfied. Could have been better? Yeah, but its satisfying to compete with the best and be right there. Vols are close!
Predicted 8-4 like most people. Tennessee is still on that pace. Next year is the judgement season for Butch in my mind. I think most realistic vol fans knew that 2016/17 would be "the year." If it isnt the year, then I believe Butch will be gone. This team will have no excuses next season. I believe the way the Vols competed/led Oklahoma raised expectations for this season.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Against a team we should be hanging 40+ at this point?

Absolutely.

I'm more frustrated with losing 2 games we should have won. We are in no danger whatsoever of losing this game.

 

[Biopsyman]

Kyberson always the first to be apart of the TD.. Just to get on TV

 

[DC Vol]

This staffs true colors are shining brightly

It was shining bright for most of us awhile ago...

This team would be 1 loss with Florida's staff.

 

[Obsessed]

We shouldn't be in 4th down situations.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Since when do we run the ball up the middle? Amazing how well that works, eh coach?

 

[Hacksaw]

Since I'm already annoyed, I might as well pick now to say that I hate Kamara's habit of slowing down near the goal line when he's on his way to the endzone. Coaches ought not to allow that.

 

[utvolsfan131]

What happened to all the end around plays we ran last year? They need to put it back into the game plan.

 

[volinbama256]

Starters playing 4th quarter - garbage

 

[UTK]

We shouldn't be in 4th down situations.

Or 3rd down situations

 

[DallasVol92]

Do we look as bad as we sound on the radio?

It worse.

 

[I_Bleed_Orange77]

Kamara LITERALLY the only one playing with fire today. ONLY ONLY KID OUT THERE...

No it's all on the coaches. The players have nothing to with it. (Insert blue font)

 

[Vol_is_Lyfe18]

This press conference should be fun.

 

[AustinMem]

What happened to all the end around plays we ran last year? They need to put it back into the game plan.

Did one earlier. They snuffed it out pretty quickly.

You out together a coherent and valid response. Kudos.

What are your expectations for Year 4?
