Just 3 weeks ago they were the number 2 ranked team in the nation. 😳

That plus Franklin went 11-2, 10-3, 13-3 in the past 3 seasons.  Now he's fired.   

We have zero answers defensively.

My first memory of TN football was watching that Miami beat down on tv.  I was 5.   

Dad took me to the Sugar Bowl vs Virginia... Bourbon Street was an eye opening experience.   

I'd be shocked if he went.

He's THE MAN here, making a difference in young men's lives.   In the majors, he's just a guy.. right?

We better get better pretty quick.  Ty Simpson looked sharp Saturday.

I can't stop watching this play.   

Really wish we had last years defense with Aguilar.

Also what was up with MSU's calls with almost 2 minutes to go?  3 straight passes lol.  We didn't stop them on the ground all night.

Probably the dumbest series they called all day. We were fortunate

Deserved to lose today and won.  Deserved to win vs Georgia and lost.  Such is the life of a college football fan. 

Also what was up with MSU's calls with almost 2 minutes to go?  3 straight passes lol.  We didn't stop them on the ground all night.

Heupel gonna get absolutely destroyed over that last drive.  Deservedly so.  

Absolutely. Inexcusable. Plus, avoid OT on the road. Should have at least gotten a 50 yard attempt.

Worst game management at the end of regulation I've ever seen. Just awful.

We're talking Pruitt level dumb.  I couldn't believe what I was watching.

He's so fortunate we won.  He got bailed out big time.

I still can't believe we won.

Heupel gonna get absolutely destroyed over that last drive.  Deservedly so.   

We got completely robbed.

Clearly we are superior.   Stop beating ourselves and get some stops.

Hope our defense is ready to play today!

Squirrel White got avalanched by the field storming.

It seems like a strange game to celebrate.

I thought the same, what's so special about that win?   

Danny gonna jack prices up through the roof.   

His son got a 5 year deal???   

Yeah, that was...a choice. I'll be really interested to hear the financials on that one, particularly the buyout.

Kid hasn't coached at all, anywhere, other than on his Dads bench right?

So strange.

For pretty much 8 out 12 quarters...yes pretty much our starters. 132 out of 136. UT isn't the only team that's played backups... Now...back to your excuses.

I am specifically addressing your bitching about UAB.  In the first half, I saw an excellent D effort against an awful team.  If the 3rd string subs did worse then so be it and I chalk it up to learning.  Like we use to do.  This coaching staff and this team are making strides.  It's fun to be a fan again.

Why don't you just enjoy the ride?

Hummingbirds and butterflies....Keep your head in the sand. You best hope the defense gets much better or your ride will get real bumpy.

What would you like to see happen to resolve our deficiencies?  Honestly curious.   Think we need a new DC?

His son got a 5 year deal???   

My game review:  it was HOT!   

Boo looks horrific

Saw him yanked on one of UABs easy completions and got a resulting earful from Martinez.

Thanks for summarizing for us here, Tnphil. 

Our vaulted defense gave up 502 yards at home yesterday. That's from one of the highest paid DC in college. Horse sheet.

4 starters out.  Forgiveable.

And UGA was at 100 percent huh? We are the only team in the country that has injuries and has players out, right? Our defense is weak right down the middle all the way to the slow safeties. Our linebackers aren't good...what's your excuse for that. 5 years in and your blaming a few injuries as an excuse. Losers make excuses....winners don't have too. Congrats on your excuses.

UGA's talent level is better than ours, but we are closing the gap.  We are insanely better under Heupel than where we were.  We are finally getting an elite recruiting class.  I'm struck by you calling us losers.  We made the inaugural playoffs last year and have a shot again this year.  

How about losing the Negavol stuff?  I know, I know, get off your porch.  

L goes in the record column....9 in a row. 5-21 against UGA this century. When's the last time we beat Florida in Gainesville?....what about at Bama? But...but...we are competitive. Losing is a loss no matter how competitive you are.

A young man missed a game winning FG in one of the most exciting games we have seen in a long time.

Give it a rest.  

It happened before the missed kick....But the everyone gets a trophy crowd doesn't understand it.

We absolutely had many chances to close it out before the FG.
