Ill have to see us actually not choke in critical situations first. Been waiting over half my life for that btw.
There is a difference in choking because of stupid calls and bad plays vs just not having enough talent to sub in th 4th QTR and our D and O just being gassed. Even without some of our best players in this game.
This is not a moral victory but it is a taste of what the Hype can do with a team that only won 4 games last year and only has something like 72 scholarships (and many key injuries). They played hard for 3 QTRs and we were in it with one of the best teams in the country. We start recruiting at the level we need to and we do have a bright future.
I dont care what you call me. Getting blown out by 30+ by Bama and saying "were coming" is ridiculous.

You do realize that even this undermanned razor thin team, was still considered to have the 19th most talent in FBS per the team talent composite pre-season, don't you?If the UT has 4oz of brains, they will do whatever is needed to keep Heupel & staff rooted at Tennessee. Two reasonable recruiting classes, even if ranked # 15 - 20 nationally, we will be knocking or kicking down the NC door. Just look what they did with an undermanned, razor-thin team!
For 3.5 quarters, the equivalent of a middleweight fighter went toe to toe with a Joe Louis-Butterbean-Mike Tyson hybrid and did well enough to make their manager, Saban, sweat and swear in utter frustration. Yes, we're coming, hope I live to see it, but we're coming.
