Todays Win = Exactly What We Needed

[rvan1]

Lets be honest, we'll all take a win for what it is: a win...

But today's win comes in a perfect fashion: having to scrape out against a team that, on paper, we shouldve had no problem with, and at home. This team needed to be shaken up this week. They survived their "trap" game before kentucky, but now, after barely escaping vandy, they know that their ticket isnt punched yet to atl.

Had tennessee put up a 35-10 win, i think itd be much more likely that they lose to kentucky next week. there is still work to be done, but this team is talented enough to make the sec championship game competitive. now, instead of riding on 2 weeks of blowout wins, they can ride on a good defensive effort, and a gutsy second half grind to build character as a team and go in to lexington as a hungrier team, knowing they wont walk all over the wildcats, but also confident they have what it takes to beat them. anyone agree?

 

[smokeyman15]

Makes sense...

 

[Maryvillevol37]

Agree

 

[dduncan4163]

I agree a win like this can build character and it Better. KY is going to give us all we can handle this Sat.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

[hohenfelsvol]

[utvolpj]

I'm not sure why we needed it to be close, but whatever.

all i here on the tube is Georgia trying to make it to the SECCG and it tiks me off, but that is what it should also do to our team. hopefully we go to KY with an attitude of tikkedoffedness and kick their Butts!!!

Hope we can get the attitude of tikkedoffedness. :rock:

I agree it should be a wake-up call.. also at least IMO we need to run the ball more.

Sweet, the percentage of VN posters who want us to simply "run the ball more" just went up by a tenth of a percentage point. That official percentage is now 98.97%.

The amount of sheer brilliance conveyed on this board is simply unprecedented.

Yeah must be annoying getting told "Here comes yet another bubble screen dad" all the time. I could see were that could get rather annoying.

there's a shock. you can stop the antagonizing, ya know. UF was OFFICIALLY eliminated from the SECCG yesterday. It was actually my favorite part of the entire day.
