I agree with most of what you said here. As for the game Saturday, we beat a middle school 100-0. That's what's supposed to happen. I think a lot of people see how much more this team has been capable of this season. They're a click or two off, and it's fundamental stuff. Dropping balls, overthrown balls, questionable line play, etc. A lot of it is stuff you'd expect they'd fix week to week, but it continues. They've actually regressed in some areas.We literally won 56-0 yesterday and played backups for most of the game...just saying. Our offense has absolutely been out of sync for most of the season though against SEC teams. We should be 10-1 right now.
I think a lot of us VOL fans have forgotten that the Vegas/everyone on Earth predictions for this season were 8-9 wins. Vegas had o/u 8.5 . The rational fans on this board picked us 9-3 with more folks going 8-4 also than 10-2 by a fair margin.
This team has exceeded anyones reasonable expectations by going hopefully 10-2 and making the playoffs. The disappointment some fans feel stems from the fact that we have the #4 defense in the nation 11 games into a 12 game season...a Championship level defense for sure...and it feels like it will be wasted if we don't at least make the playoffs. I think that's fair honestly. Making the 12 team tourney is all anyone can hope for these days...and WE are very lucky to have a program now under CJH that is gonna make the playoffs hopefully more seasons than we don't. He has managed to keep us hanging around the top10 ...and the last 2 recruiting classes ranked 11th and now 6th or 7th depending on how we close in 2 weeks. Hype is 4-2 versus Flarda and Bama, even when they have had more talented rosters than us. The future is really bright at UT!! So many reasons to be happy and encouraged. The Negas around here suck azz and always will. Thankfully there are only a few of them...they just never shut up. Lmao.. GO VOLS WGWTFA
The defense and our ground game are largely why we're in the discussion, and I'm grateful for that. It's nice to see us in contention for real again.
I think people mistake having a pair of eyeballs for being a nEgAvoL, and it's a bit tiresome.
