I will always love the Vols but these losses are getting old.

2009 Bama. UT getting ready to kick game winning field goal but it gets blocked.

2010. LSU and North Carolina.

2012 Florida game on ESPN.  Losing to South Carolina when Bray fumbles. Blowing a 28-7 lead on Missouri

2013. Losing to UGA when Pig Howard fumbles in End Zone. Losing to Vandy after call was reversed.

2014.  Georgia game was bad. Florida was gut wrenching.

2015.  Oklahoma wins while UT Blows a 17-0 lead in 2nd half.

Ron I hear you.  All I can say is this...in the majority of those cases either Dooley or Kiffin was our coach.  Particularly Dooley.  I can't think of a single Dooley game where we showed some balls and either held off a team or did something to win (and no, vandy in 2011 does not count).  Kiffin had a couple good games, but also a few bad ones (don't forget the bowl and the ass kicking at Ole Miss...those were embarrassing).

At least Jones had the great win at USC last year, where we scored twice with under 2:30 to go and then crushed them in OT.  That was pretty amazing.

I can only hope we have more games like USC and less like last night and Florida a year ago.  It's weird...Jones seems to take chances when we are the underdog or playing from behind, but freezes up like a deer in the headlights when we do well against a major opponent.

He's going to have to figure that out or be gone.  Here's hoping he figures it out...and soon.

well, I'm at ATL headed to the UK.  I most likely will stream the UK game on my iPad.  I will be in the swamp for the UF game.  It is what VOL fans do.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
