Why do I ...

[trion23]

continue to get my hopes up only to get punched in the balls over and over and over. What is it that they say about the definition of insanity?

Because we're the legion of the miserable.

!) I'll most likely be dead when '98 happens again. If it even does.
2) Fireball sucks. Stick with Dickel.

Pretty sure I will be gone. I will leave directions to grave so someone can if all possible sing Rockytop over my grave!

 

[hmanvolfan]

I start looking forward to the swift kicks to the nads each Saturday... toughened em up over the years.

Can we start calling you tough nuts from now on?

 

[GRN1926]

I haven't expected a win in any game in 10 years. I just hope.

Sad truth about TN footbal

I don’t know man, getting blown out by a big 12 school again. Were all at square one.

Oh, don't worry. This has been our perspective for over a decade. It's like breathing now.

I guess I am a fan. I keep coming back to watch the games. To prove my loyalty, I come on this site and read the posts, even the asinine ones. I am a glutton for all things UT.

The one good thing about living overseas, there is not a Missouri fan in a 1,000 miles of me.

Blu Balls and it really hurts

 

[Alex10]

I was pissed and then reminded myself that at least I don’t suck at my job.

To bad Tennessee’s players and coaches can’t say the same.

 

[BACKDOC]

I knew we only had a slight chance to win; just didn't think it would be so lopsided. We can only beat teams who have shittty quarterbacks.

 

[bnhunt]

Its called being a fan of a sports team.

*UT sports team

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

This was a tough game for us, made worse by two bad turnovers. Without the TO's the score might have at least been respectable.

Team has been up and down all year. Looks good one game, bad the next.

I am willing to bet we are up for Vandy.

Well, maybe. But Mizzou also has a couple of sure TD passes dropped, so I don’t know. They could have scored 75 on us if they had wanted to.

This team either can’t stand up for itself or won’t. We are literally watching a team get bullied for 60 minutes and shown how bad they are the entire next week. In the end the survivors may be better for it with a chip on their shoulder. Playing for a bowl game WILL help our recruiting.

I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that my Vols will not win another championship in my lifetime. I’m 49. However I do enjoy watching them play so I’m grateful for any Florida win like a couple years back. Both Barn and Kentucky were enjoyed this year. I just can’t get to upset with the loses anymore when there’s nothing I can do about it.
Win or lose I’ll watch it till the day I die.


Go Vols

 

[Pride85]

Agree. 6-6 would be exceeding my expectations for a team coming off a winless SEC record with a new HC that has never been a HC. People need some perspective

Most do, it is the lunatic fringe that needs help.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

things will turn...it's just exile for now.

@VolNExile agrees.

Mizzou dropped two touchdown passes. If they would have caught them they would have almost hung 70 on us.

@VolNExile agrees.

lol
I got “mentioned”! That’s a first.

I am in the same boat. I thought at the beginning of the season that if we make it bowling, that was above my expectations. Even if by some chance we lose next week, I still feel better that the end of this season than I have at the beginning of the last several.

 

[VolNExile]

The team had the audacity to win two SEC games this year and got our hopes up, just to kick our teeth in again when the “other“ team turned back up, dammit!

 

[BanditVol]

True. We got a break on those.

Amen, brother, amen.
