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

[DC Vol]

This press conference should be fun.

"Butch, what did North Texas do that USC also did that frustrated your sta-"

"Okay, let me just stop you there. We death with adversity and eye discipline against a good team with scholarship players. They're from Texas, and there is a lot of talent there. A state full of pearls. Clam opened up on us. Oysters Rockefeller. I'm the keeper of this program and these kids trust me. Process, youth, depth, focus, discipline and physicality"

"Coach, you didn't answer ,y questi-"

"POSITIVITY. I NEED IT."

 

[apevol]

Jennings is Carl Pickens 2.0

 

[Madscientistvol]

We'll probably see Dormady now.

Will Butch let him throw?

 

[dyllisvol42]

I only quoted this to see this again. Lol

Ya got a little fired up there... My bad least we are going bowling!!!

 

[CountVolcula]

I'm just fired of this lackadaisical, non-inspired football we seem to get week after week

F

 

[volcop1]

This is a garbage 1 win team that has been pitiful.


Butch is doing what he can to keep them in the game.

Butch and the NT coach are good friends they coached together at Tampa I believe

 

[Bukowskified]

If Dormady is put in now, only hand off, I would fully understand any decision he makes to transfer out.

He isn't going to transfer because he sits behind a returning junior starter.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

It is. All they had to do was show up to win today, and for the most part, that's all they've done.

You can, understandably, be pissed off about it if you wish, but for as beat up as they have been, I don't know if Im going to criticize them too much.

Trust me Im not ticked or embarrassed. Ive seen us lose games like this to Memphis in 96 and Wyoming in 08. But still its hard to comprehend us not stomping them to get those players that are beat up you mentioned second half rest.

 

[WesternKyVol]

Process, youth, individuals, quality opponent, etc

He may not even take the trouble to make excuses after having just beaten a team on scholarship.

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

But I was told we would score 70.

 

[MrBiggles]

"We played with a lot of resilience"

You left out "prideful group of players"

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I love our STs play. Straight nasty.

Young players who want to play.

 

[orangefreak21]

Jennings is Carl Pickens 2.0

According to Kessling he's Jamie Johnson

Somebody pulls this man's credentials

 

[volinbama256]

And you'd be crying for them to fired after pulling off a miraculous 3 point win at home over Vandy.... One of the worst teams in the country? Right?

Mrs. Debord, is that you? Or is this Mrs Jones?

 

[UTK]

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

Coaches job to get the player up to play these type of games. Just saying.

 

[TN_Transplant]

Will Butch let him throw?

Doubt it.

 

[YankeeVol]

But I was told we would score 70.

Well we should definitely have more than 24 in the fourth quarter with our starters playing the whole game so far....

Butch is the Stewart Smalley of CFB coaches, staring into his mirror

 

[WesternKyVol]

This blue font tradition needs to die.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Jennings is a head hunter

Should be a starting safety.

 

[jbr82]

You are pathetic

Its true john. I forgive u tho

 

[I_Bleed_Orange77]

I'm just fired of this lackadaisical, non-inspired football we seem to get week after week

So that's all on the coaches right? You know they can't put on the pads and play themselves right?

 

[volinbama256]

But I was told we would score 70.

Yes and with our backups

 

[volbreaker]

The team is showing resiliency

Classic. Hard to get my funny bone during this hot mess, but I just spewed my coke. Butch is the king of coach speak fo' sho'
