We won..im drunk.. and im about to go do some flirtin with momma and shes ready..doesnt get much better. GBO. SEMLER FI

 

[Backwards K]

a win is a win... It was ugly but take and move on..

Always easier to work on short comings after a win, no matter how you got it.

Need to get North and Williams healthy to help the downfield passing game.

Vols haven't had a lot of winning in last 4 or 5 years. Still learning how to win these types of games. Got this one and I'm happy with it.

 

[QuickSmurf]

heck look at today..Vandy bout took out the Gators..Arky beat Ole Miss

Exactly, its the nature of college football which makes me even more addicted to it lol.

 

[Remy]

Tired of the Butch garbage.

Stupid timeouts. Sitting on leads. Pitiful discipline.


That's coaching. That's on Butch. He cannot be gone fast enough.

Exactly win you want staff gone lose you want staff gone. Perhaps being a fan of competitive sports is not for you. Try ballet they don't keep score.

Truthfully, if he were fired tonight, you'd be crying about the first play or play call you didn't like next week and calling for the head of any new coach.

 

[FlVols]

Go Vols. Make up some more progress next week w N Texas. Keep rolling.

 

[Sandvol]

Think about it. I just want to win every game. I don't care if it's by a point. In the SEC no win is guaranteed. Just ask McElwain a few questions.

What?

 

[VolFootballnut]

No just tired of people acting like is acceptable

Stupid comment

A large portion of the posts seem disappointed that UT caught a W. I certainly hope that is just the inability to write complete sentences.

 

[Row 34]

Patterns have emerged. It was like evacuating an impacted bowel. Long and painful.

[Exiled]

Why do you call a timeout with 1 second on the play clock when the other teams offense is third and 2?? The coaching decisions are killing me

I must admit, I did some screaming about that.

 

[peerless98]

I enjoy plenty. Just not this tired old crap

A win is a win I guess but don't come in here acting like it was impressive.

Have you any evidence of such acting?

 

[newandbetter]

I guess when our program has fallen into the shallow end of mediocrity, some of the fans just get used to it and embrace it. Sad to see so many of you accept such poor performances by the coaching staff, when we should have won by more than three-four scores easily. I guess that's what mediocrity does to you.

Somewhere a miserable person complains about a win...

 

[Joe Vols]

Great win. I thought we played our worst game all year tonight, but a win is a win. They did what they had to do win. Progress

 

[KappinSpaulding]

Just win baby! Right?

That mentality doesn't work here. People need something to whine about after any game.

 

[Sandvol]

You can't be serious? We were bailed out by the guy fumbling deep in UT territory. If he just lays down...they kick a fg (if we're lucky) and go into OT with momentum and a probable win.

THAT had NOTHING to do with good coaching. It was bad coaching that got the Vols into position to lose this game.

We gotta call it like it is. It isn't "hate" it's being real.

I love that we won....but this team "escaped" by divine grace.

It happens sometimes. Even to great teams. It was an off day and we're lucky to come away with the W.

I agree we had some luck coming our way after having such bad luck so many times before. So there's that.

You didn't see those three Tennessee defenders whack the hell out of him?

 

[MFL]

CBJ used his golden parachute today. He was close to hell.

Ugh...because you assume they are about to snap it and don't like what you see.

 

[JohnD13]

I really really hate fans like you.

He's not a fan, he's a troll. Look at his post history. I put him on ignore a LONG time ago

 

[catchnburn]

Oh yeah. No moral victories but there are moral losses. I forgot.

Read my mind....

Doesn't matter how good we play against the best team in America. A loss is a loss.

Matters how we play against a bad team. A close win isn't a win.

Also, people gripe when we lose a close game to a good team and say "just win" "judged by wins" etc. Then when He does win, its not good enough to just win anymore. Confusing as he11

 

[QuickSmurf]

We have so many hurt players and young ones. I think we're doing pretty good. We are getting better every year that Butch has been here. It's hard to complain about that.

 

[Wylo]

Too many dropped passes and fumbles to blame Butch tonight.

The timeout when SC was about to get a delay of game penalty is on Butch. The way the entire team can't finish is on Butch. The undisciplined play is on Butch.



But in fairness, that Malone drop isn't on Butch.

 

[peerless98]

I can't take many more of these.

Right there with you, Freak!

Whatever sheep. Don't let me keep you from the parade thrown in honor of that awesome win. Better hurry
