I was pretty disappointed we let this team back in with a pretty bad second half. It seems like with the meltdown yesterday this was the worst thing ever.

I remember last year during the end of Mizzou game thinking...I wish the D would get an int or a fumble or something....this game felt a lot like that one. We took our foot off the gas, Worley had 2 bad INTs, our holder blocked Palardy's kick, Worley lost all confidence....everything that could go wrong did...and guess what...the Defense made a stop at the end of the game to seal it....something I wished for multiple times the past 2 years but didn't happen.


TO put this in perspective, if we would have had made a play like the last defensive play in games in the past few years we would have beat LSU, beat UNC, beat Mizzou, beat Kentucky and yes beat Georgia last year.

This game actually had little bearing now on the season. The next 2 games to me are our most important to a really successful season.

We have a Georgia team fresh off an emotional without Gurley coming to Neyland. Then 2 weeks off and a USCe Team coming to town which is a little battered right now and needs a break.

We win 1 of these 2 and where do we stand? We likely have our best season since 2007.

We lose both and we need some luck to get to a bowl.

I didn't read your post bc I'm sure from the title it is ridiculous. No one remembers "bad wins" bc there is no such thing. Everyone will remember it as a win. I'll take any win.

6-6 ceiling, 4-8 floor. Simple as that. I would say the win in 99 vs Memphis was a fairly pathetic 1 as far as where we were as a program and where Memphis was. 19-17 was the final score of that game iirc.

I read most of it, not as ridiculous as i thought it would be, but still meh. If like op says and we win some of those games dooly would most likely still be our coach. No win situation, as some have posted in other threads; just let CBJ coach at least a full season before bashing him. GBO!

that OT UAB win where we needed like 5(was it?) missed field goals to not lose in regulation was pretty rough

I admire the fact that you can be so optimistic as to think we can beat either SC or Georgia after everything that has happened, but I do not agree. Georgia and SC still have more talent than us, and they are well coached.

We need 6 Ws to get a bowl? Ill take them how ever we get them. Yes! I want to beat everyone we play but we are not there yet. Im just happy we have a winning record right now. I have said all along that I hope we finish with one also.

Two weeks off before USCe? Are we counting the annual Bama beatdown as a week off?

2010 UAB win that took 5 missed field goals and 2 overtimes, then we celebrated like we won the ****ing super bowl was the worst win for me.

A win is a win. If we somehow pull 3 SEC wins out of our posterior in November. No one will care anything about the 7 point win or how we hung on to win it.

One of the ugliest wins I have ever watched. If it weren't for their kicker being inept they win.

We missed as many kicks as they did. In any event, their one missed kick would not have been worth eight points. SMDH
