So if almost a third of the scholarship players can qualify for the War Daddy List, whatever that is, in a 34-7 home loss to Kentucky, reckon what the qualifications must be to be included? 

Inquiring minds want to know.

I posted this in your thread on TOS

War Daddy Board is the players who the coaches thought/determined played the game the right way.

Sounds like some Butch Jones BS to me.

I did, but not as many as indicated below

That is for sure. I keep waiting for the bad taste from that game to wear off but it isn't. IMO, that's the single most embarrassed I have ever been for a Tennessee football team.

Yeah...This was pretty tough to take. What I've had a hard time getting over is how we looked and the effort as a team we displayed. It was like the 2018 Vandy game and the GA State game. Not a good look for a coach in his 3rd year.

It's the least amount of enjoyment I can remember at Neyland, for sure.

Yep!  Pruitt teams seem to just give up sometimes, and when they do it's a complete abandonment, not just a slight let down.  IT's very strange, but I can only guess that it starts with Pruitt.

It also seems that against inferior opponents with the game in hand, he sometimes dials it in on offense.  Then if we get behind, maybe his attitude is WTF we already lost let's just get off the field.  Not a good atttiude for an HC if so, you need to coach em up to never give up.

Well...if only a third of the players on the field got it, that might explain something. Or if more general, if it's truly "players doing what the coaches want them to do and playing like they want them to play" then 1/3 is pitiful.  Ideally every player would be on the list.
