What In The Hell Happened

Clearly you’re blind or refuse to look at the big picture.

Program was already in bad shape before Pruitt arrived.

The players aren’t SEC caliber and doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.

He isn’t the one who is blind. Are you suggesting Vandy, and Missouri are full of elite players because neither game was competitive?

Lazy take.

UK should have been up 21+ when the terrible call happened at the end. UK was the one that allowed Mizzou in the game.
Vandy game was pure trash from UK. We got up a score and made little effort to do anything offensively. But to act like Vandy let it slip away is silly.

Not a lazy take. Had Locke not pulled the most boneheaded play of all time and throw the ball OB instead of falling down or taking a sack...keeping the clock running or forcing UK to use their final TO, UK doesn't sniff a TD at the end.

Mizzou played a meh game. But go back and look at how many points UK left on the board up until the last 5 minutes. UK did everything to lose for 45 minutes, and then Mizzou did everything to lose in the 4Q.

OK, but the bottom line is if Locke holds onto the ball forcing UK to use their last TO then UK, most likely, loses that game.

Absolutely. I'm completely biased, but I feel like if UK hadn't made a ton of mistakes in the 1st half the game wouldn't have been close. Football karma? It was a very strange win.

I'm way too lazy, but somebody should go back and check Vandy and Missouri's recruiting rankings the last three or four years and compare them to our current roster. I'll bet we have more talent (@ least on paper) than both. Maybe it's just the learning curve, but I think coaching is the difference this year.

Does anyone remember what Pruitt said going into the locker room at halftime of bama game. We really started stinking the place up after that

This bunch absolutely did not need to be in a bowl game. It is a mid-level Sunbelt squad playing an SEC schedule.

The staff needs to be freed up to evaluate HS talent night and day - waste minimal time on the Butch holdovers and recruit like mad dogs. Need to load up talent in 2019 and 2020. It is doable - Vol fan base don't roll over and quit. Enjoy the rebuild and basketball season.

Just toss the 2018 team in with 2017 in the garbage bin of lost causes that don't merit further mention on the message board. Vols will get bowl eligible in 2019 and moving forward will be fun to watch once again - after SEC caliber ballplayers are signed and developed.

I looked at an uninspired Tennessee team today and when the 2019 season starts, I think you will see some current players transfer as this roster is rebuilt.
