Win one for the toker(s)??? 

If it helps, I think Fils-Amie is underated and underutilizd.  ICBW though.

Good one!

Notice how when certain players can't play we have players have good game and we wonder why the frick we haven't seen them play more? (tm Butch Jones). Hurd's butt was left at home for the A&M game and Kamara and Kelly went wild. Kamara was the most wasted talent I've ever seen wear the Orange. 

With so many suspended I'm not sure it matters. We can't throw the ball and thought this was going to be a heavy run game and now our best RB is out. My gosh can it get any worse.

Maybe Butch can give them.....Win one for the Gipper speaches

Some think he may be laying the groundwork to leave on his own.  

My theory?  He saw that new shark mascot at Ole Miss and decided he had to get him summa dat.

Interesting point

When interviewed, McElwain looks like the unhappiest person on the planet.

I see no way they fire him and would be dumb to do so. If he's not coaching at FL next year it will because he left on his own, IMO.

Yep...the hits just keep coming.

Good info.....I was on the staff at OM for a while in the 70's under Cooper. Nice person and a better coach than his record. 77 season we had some Butch Jones close losses. Beat Notre Dame giving them their only loss...they finished 11-1 that year. Beat UT like a drum...Be hard to say which UT team...the 1977 or the 2017 team would beat the other.

IMO he is a good coach....He's been handicapped with little talent on offense that was left by a defensive coach Muschamp. He's recruited on offense better than you think the past couple of years. I like him and he's no nonsense and doesn't use excuses like..... well nevermind. If Grier hadn't screwed up they would have been better than they have...Like us this year he's had QB issues the past 2 years.

Wish him nothing but the best! 2 years ago I thought he was going to be special...he had that attitude you want in a O lineman. Looks like his medical issues didn't let that happen.

I'll continue to go to the home games because it's something that Dad and I share together, but I can say I'm much more emotionally detached lately.  I don't agonize over losses like I used to.  I can't remember a time where I cared less about the outcome of a game than I was this past Saturday.

Good for you! I'm a UT fan because my Dad made me one 63 years ago. He passed away August of 2015 and that first season after that was really tough on me with him not being here. For as long as you can share it with your Dad.

I'll put it this way.....I enjoy UTs open dates so I can enjoy good...well coached football games. I enjoy the 11am central UT games so I can get it over with early in the day and do something else or watch good...well coached games the rest of the day and night.

I told my wife Sat. night that I've never in my 63 years been this close to just not caring anymore about UT football and I really meant it. Even back in the Dooley years we at least scored points...we might get beat 42-33 but we scored points. Now we can't score and we can't stop anybody on defense. All around this is as bad as I've seen. And I've seen some bad football in my years.

Might not be correct....but the last time I remember being dogs to KY was in the 70's. I think in 1977 they finished 10-1 and they were favorites over us when we played.

TJ Sheffield just de-committed. Another in-state kid. 4 star WR.

All of Butch's practice players are sure stinking it up on Saturday. These are just my thoughts: Jones will play only the players that do well in practice because he can "trust" them. JMO but I do not think Butch has a clue about who the best players are by position. If the coach does not trust his players, how the H&%$ do you expect the players to trust you? I think the players realize Butch does not possess the talent to coach them any farther or the actually coach them up to improve their skills.

Once you talk back at Butch, you are forever on his list.

Nail meets hammer.

Year 5 and underdogs to KY. 

LSU will skull drag us...The are playing like their coach...tough. We play like our coach, soft and clueless. LSU's offense is coming around under Canada their new OC. Don't see us winning 1-2 more games anyway.

Only SEC win without Dobbs was the 2013 USC game.

Butch has been fired every Monday since the FL game.....Can't figure out why he keeps showing up

I think.he did fine. One of the few bright spots.

Since our WRs can't beat man coverage and don't block.....and our OL is as bad as there is in D1 football Gitmo is lucky he came out alive today.

I was told he showed his a$$ in the UGA game?...Pretty bad if what I was told is correct. He also sent out a couple of tweets that didn't go real well. I'd say if true he's not just in the doghouse.....but under it.

At the 6:34 mark of the 2nd quarter it was a 7-0 game.

We make big plays in practice.

Won't the SEC suspend him for a game?

Good question....Kids the best player we have. But that crap has no place.

I'd bet he had his ears wide open.

Totally no class. If I was his coach, he'd be in the locker room.

It also shows the total lack of discipline on this team. Ironically, that was a strength of Butch's first couple of years here.

Fact...there is no discipline on the team. That comes from a horses mouth.

Agree, Pirate. Our OL falls in the same category too.

14 quarters without a offensive TD......That should be damn near impossible to do even if you were trying not to score.
