The Stop Being Negative Thread (merged)

I didn't even read this post and the title alone makes it one of the worst I've ever read.

We've had 10+ years of trash and we got trash that smelled as bad, or worse, yesterday afternoon.

I'm not fair weather, I'm sick of my alma mater sucking and nothing I saw yesterday shows any indication we'll be any better in the foreseeable future.

Everything that is not fact in your post is bold and underlined above. This is only your opinion and unfortunately has no facts to justify this opinion. We all hope the Vols turn things around this year but not a soul can point to a fact that shows it will/can happen after that game. This is unfortunate as I'm sure every person came in with hope and left that game with hope but for the ones you want to leave they just saw it differently than you did. They saw facts.

I don’t want anyone to leave , I just don’t want people to act like they care about UT then come on here after the game we lose and start bashing the kids and saying things like we are an FCS team, and we’re no better than last year. That’s not a true fan, cause a true fan wouldn’t bash the young men like that on message boards for the world and v nation to see. And their are plenty of facts that happened in that game that prove things are better this year. You just have to want to see Them instead of being pessimistic because we lost. Your implying just because we lost that in turn there can be no facts in that loss that lead is to a conclusion or (hypothesis) that this year things are moving in a better direction. That’s just not true, there are plenty of positive things that did occur yesterday, unfortunately there were some negatives as well though. A lot of people let the negatives overcome their overall view of something and that’s one sided. I’m extremely angry that we didn’t win too, but I can’t let that cloud my judgement of what we did well either.

Those 'kids' stepped into real man life the moment they accepted a full ride to one of the most storied football programs of all time. There was no heart and no effort on defense yesterday. They have NOT improved.

I think OP needs to go back to their safe space or realize that people arent going to be OK with getting blown out by a big 12 team.

I’ve held my tongue since the ending of our game yesterday, but I can’t do that anymore after seeing what alot of people are saying this morning. Shame on all of you who are saying we are an FCs team and we have no talent and we suck. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. We played the best passing attack in the nation and we started 3 freshman on defense. What did you all expect. IMO WVU has a legitimate shot at winning 10+ games this year, their passing attack and offensive line are extremly
Talented and they block well for Grier. Hell, will Grier makes NFL throws like it’s second nature to him. As far as the VOLS , I thought we lacked an identity in offense. I think T. Helton should of stuck with the I formation lead blocker runs, because it was workiin. But he didn’t and that made me scratch my head. My hope is that we use that a lot more go My forward because Tim Jordan is a game changer when he has a lead blocker in front of him. Offensive line was shaky but they got better as the game went on. I do think their much better than what they showed yesterday though. I think our wide receivers are gonna be ok this year, on 3rd downs they came up
Big for us and I think that’s a sign of good things to come. JG- I thought he played within the game plan, and he did it pretty well actually. He was extremly accurate and decisive, and he continues to show toughness after taking big hits. He took care of the football as well and that’s the biggest takeaway I got from his performance.

Defensive line- we’ve got to find players who can get to the qb, the guys were getting a push everytime almost but they had trouble getting off their blocks so that’s something they need to work on as well. Depth is another issue we need to iron out in the next two games before Florida game. My hope is that Harris, Emerson, and Gooden can make big strides the next few weeks cause we’re gonna need them to win in the sec. overall- Out defensive line just needs to find the nastiness inside of themselves and coach needs to find a way to get that to show on the field.

Linebackers- I thought our LB’s did some good things but they were a step late on several plays as well. As for Taylor and Kongbo, they have to get involved in the game or just let J. Allen and Peterson try their hand at it, because our OLb’s were pitiful yesterday. If Peterson can play then I think we see him early this year, Pruitt needs a spark in the pass rushing game, hopefully Peterson can be that guy. DK jr played pretty well but his rust did show at times but that is understandable. I feel good about DK, DB, and QS though going forward. My hope is that they can start to be leaders on the defense because we need an alpha dog to step up and lead our defense.

Secondary- honestly, this is probably a bad game to judge our DB’s on, at least out
Young guys. I wasn’t pleased with Buchanan in the least bit though, he needs to be better. As a whole, our secondary needs to work on tackling. We have to be able to tackle in space if we’re gonna be a decent team this year. Flowers, Taylor, and Thompson haven’t figured out how to get their head around on passes yet so that’s something they need to work on, I think they did a good job of staying in position on d but they need to learn how to use their hands to keep guys from creating separation against them. Overall- I think week in and week out these young cbs get better. Come Florida game we should see a massive difference in the secondary.


Overall- Stop throwing in the towel fans. This team deserves our support. To all of you who are mad and saying negative things -stfu, your not a player so you have no idea how bad these young men want to win, and your not the one putting in work day in and day out for 9 months straight so dont bash these young men. WVU is a good team and they honestly could win 10 or 11 games this year if Grier stays healthy. If marquis Osborne doesn’t have a stupid offsides penalty then this game could of possible been 33-21 or 33-17 depending on if we get a score after that missed field goal. If that game ends 33-21 then the narrative is complete different. And for all of you who say this team is no better than last year, you are a fool and you know nothing about football. This team is better in 100 different ways from last years team, it’s one game and we have 11 more to go. When adversity hits you see the true content of someone’s character, a large amount of you on here who talk bad about UT are weenies who Lack character. Grow up and realize rome wasn’t built in a day. The VOLS will be fine, and for all you fair weather fans. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out cause we don’t need you as fans.

The measure of this team and the coaches is yet to be determined. We will see how they adjust and learn as the season progresses. They just now have game film for the coaches to use for teaching purposes. Let that sink in!

Grier is good no doubt. Their defense isn't. And our secondary which, oddly enough was a top 5 secondary last year (3rd I think) made their entire offense look amazeballs.

They have probably 2 maybe three draft pics at WR as well. That being said, we are way too slow in the defensive backfield and have absolutely nobody that can rush the passer. I don’t know WGs fourth time but he was running away from our guys when he had to scramble.

Really?? If all that’s left are realists with minimal expectations then you wouldn’t be seeing all this nonsense about our team sucking today. Cause realists with minimal expectations wouldn’t of thought we could compete or win therefore they wouldn’t bash the team when they did lose cause that’s what they expected.

Complaining about the complainers??
Who the frig are you to lecture me? I’m a damn graduate of UT. I was born at Ft. Sanders while both my parents were students at UT. My first home was UT married student housing. If I want to complain about the **** show I saw last night, I’ll complain. I don’t need your blessing.

Nobody’s ok with losing that game yesterday. Where I take offense is when folks get on here and bash the absolute sh$@ out of
these kids after one game. If you weren’t making bold declarations About the team or certain players in extremly negative ways then the post doesn’t apply to you. There are some things you just don’t say and some people crossed that line frequently yesterday and this morning and that’s the whole issue. These kids and coaches and their families are putting in a lot of working and making sacrifices that most of us never see or hear about. Just show a teaspoon of respect for them that is all I’m saying man. No need to degrade them in the manner some did.

Your invisible stock in UT football is comical to me. As if those players work for you. GTFOH with that. Nobody called you out either, this was about people going over the line in bashing the team.
