We passed bad almost 10 years ago. We hit train wreck when we hired Dooley, and passed dumpster fire when we hired Butch. Now, it just feels like we are at rock bottom trying to see if we can dig any lower.

They have been making fun for 10 years.

Most Tennessee fans have just removed their, Tennessee officials know best orange colored glasses.

I live in Ala and I can promise you none of them feel sorry for TN Fans. Especially the 15 year stretch they went through..I can assure you we aren't going through anything than any of our rivals or other big name schools have gone through.

My Alabama fans tell me "this isn't even fun anymore"

I tell them "you should try it from this side for a while".

It's always darkest before morning (I'm trying to pump myself up).

In all seriousness, sometimes you need capitulation before a rally can begin.

I'd boycott their friendship.😉

I have Auburn, Alabama, & Georgia close friends.

They haven't gave me crap for at least 3 years. They actually feel sorry for Tennessee and all have the teams they cheer for good at football and care more about discussing good football teams.

Yep and if this administration isn't careful this next hire will be the people's elbow and we will be out for the count.

This season is more frustrating than any of the Dooley seasons because at least Dooley's teams weren't even good on paper. On paper, Dooley had teams that should have won, at most, 7 games. He managed 6 one year and 5 in the other two. Disappointing, but those rosters were so depleted/thin you couldn't realistically expect much more.

Butch's best team on paper (last year's team) should have won 10 or 11 regular season games, won the East, and had a chance to win the Sugar Bowl. The 2015 team could/should have won 10 or 11 regular season games too. Talent-wise, this year's squad is capable of winning probably 8 or 9 games. They aren't any worse than LSU.

Butch gets the least out of his players more than perhaps any other coach in the country. The offensive line is full of 4-star players and Trey Smith is a 5-star. The starting defensive line consists of a 5-star (McKenzie), an extremely highly touted 4-star (Tuttle), another highly touted 4-star who was the #1 JUCO in the country (Kongbo), and another 4-star (Taylor). All 4 of those guys could have gone almost anywhere in the country. Collectively, they somehow are just a mediocre defensive line. There's no way each of those guys are just simply underachievers or outright busts. It comes back to coaching and talent development.

They did, oh how much they forget, as a student I never went to the Alabama games because we boat raced them almost every game under Mike Shula. Things can't get worse, we are at the bottom now. We can only go up. This year we will have lost to both UK and Vandy, and worst shut out loss at home since 1905.

This again, if you literally bring in any other coach besides Butch we beat UK and UF this year and all is well. We would have still lost to Bama and UGA no matter who we had too. This all lies on the staff, there is no way that all of those 4 and 5 star players are busts. No Way.

Don't forget South Carolina. We only allowed 15 points to them and still lost. A competent talent developer (not even above average, just competent) would be 7-2 right now. Losses to only Georgia and Alabama.
