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.

Have been away from all media until now. Did the normal starters sit, or are we just abysmal at football?

Totally abysmal.  No other way to put it.

Well, I think the term disheartening fits well, but I'd be splitting has making the argument

Team doesn't suck, effort did.

No fire at all, going through motions, no leadership. 

Still..with the exception of the first drive, we moved the ball well in first half. Just made stupid mistakes.

Drive 1 3 and out (no excuses for that, but if it's an anomaly it's okay)
Drive 2 Dormady funbles at 50
Drive 3 Missed FG
Drive 4 Killed by really stupid Josh Smith penalty

Not sure how many other drives, but two of them ended in TDs.

Dormady stays in, we win about 30-13 and  the narrative is "Vols overcome slow start".

Enter the head scratching decision to play Guratano 

I understand wanting a spark....but against UMASS????

wow, a blast from the past. 

Did the offense suck last year when we set a record for points?  You probably think so.  Stay miserable and bitter, it suits you.
