Was that the most embarrassing loss in school history?

[volfanhill]

It was worse then the Wyoming loss. I am not talking about score. I am talking about opponent.

 

[Elhanan]

Worst one I’d ever witnessed.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Yes, this is rock bottom.

 

[Grudenhaslanded]

Sadly, I don’t think we’ve got rock bottom yet. It’s going to get worse unless Pruitt can pull a miracle and get a couple of solid recruiting classes in here and progress significantly as a hbc.

 

[VOLnMiami]

I always thought the Rutgers loss in 1979 was the worse but this one trumps that one by a long shot.

 

[bpalmer28]

Yes. I’m 33. Only way it could get worse is we lose to a juco. Also the most unexplainable loss. Still not sure how it happened.

 

[screenthis]

After driving to and from Huntsville to see the game, that was a lot of effort and money for the crap product on the field. Still early in the Pruitt era. But c'mon. Way better players and coaches with home field advantage and we get this?

 

[Creekcat]

With losses like this, it's going to be hard to get a couple of solid recruiting classes to come to this program.

 

[volintears]

Yes

 

[Kinger]

Absolutely

 

[DaddyChad]

Worse loss in modern history of this team. This wasn’t some luck play. They just straight up lined up and beat our asses in the trenches. This was a 2-10 team last season. Outside of maybe Chattanooga this was the easiest game on the schedule.

Don't be shocked if Chattanooga beats our azzes.

 

[VolArmy74]

Yes. But Memphis in 1996 is pretty close just considering how much more loaded that team was.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

This one was the worst.

Spin however you want it.

 

[robby487]

What is a Rutgers? I think that was the sports headlines in the KNS, I remember it was a long drive home.

 

[orangefloyd]

Yes. But Memphis in 1996 is pretty close just considering how much more loaded that team was.

That one has always stuck in my crawl. We ran the ball about 60 times that day threw about 15 times with junior Peyton Manning at qb. That was with Cutcliffe calling the plays. We have that kind of incompetence running the entire athletic program now.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

It was worse then the Wyoming loss. I am not talking about score. I am talking about opponent.

So far, yes. Total embarrassment. It was so bad, it drove past "taking a step back" to "falling down the stairs".

 

[FLVOL_79]

Worst loss of this century.

 

[rgvol]

Yes... This is bad.

 

[dougvolfan]

I attended my first game in 1968 at age six. Some bad games: North Texas 1975/Memphis 1996/Wyoming 2008 and georgia state who was picked to be worst in their conference this season. This is by far the worst.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Yes. I’m 33. Only way it could get worse is we lose to a juco. Also the most unexplainable loss. Still not sure how it happened.

I turn 33 this week and have to agree. Worse loss I can remember in my lifetime. Very disheartening.

Ole Miss 1979,Mississippi State 1979 and Virginia 1980 were really bad losses also

 

[Cartervol]

Maybe the worst loss, but we expect too much from a program that has been giving the middle finger to its fans for more than a decade now. 85k yesterday says the fans are starting to give that middle finger back..

 

[BJSforVols]

No, the Memphis loss in 96 was worse. This one is awful close to it though.

 

[MikeVol44]

agree.....especially since we had Manning and all of those weapons who couldn't even put 20 up on the scoreboard that day.....
