Hate Week. Who you got?

There is no more satisfying of a feeling than to crush the hearts of the Vol faithful for yet another year. Hopefully by the time the streak is over their fan base will be too broken and dejected to regain their former obnoxious and arrogant attitudes over what accounts to around a 10 year run of success in their program's history that yielded one national championship. Reality setting in sometimes has that effect on things and we can only hope. ROLL TIDE!!

Who was you calling obnoxious and arrogant again?:)

They are a lot more fun when they are obnoxious and arrogant.
Humbled and defeated is such a horrible look for them :)
 
My ratio of humbled vs unfounded arrogance usually fluctuates daily. Consumption may also play a role too...

Anyway. I actually didn't see a down in this game. Had a busy Saturday that included a lot of drive time so I caught the slim majority of it on the radio. Which frankly I enjoy that at least one game a year as I always liked listening to Bob. Makes it a little less painful to listen to a slaughter as opposed to watching it.

Based on what I heard & most of the postgame I've listened too here are my thoughts:
1. Not surprised at score.
2. Hate the waddle injury, hope he recovers to 100% that kid will get paid to play football one day.
3. JG wasn't awful, which is our benchmark with him sadly.
4. I don't understand why we didn't get some more young guys significant playing time in second half.

3. Cant really argue that he wasn't awful since he protected the ball with no turnovers. However they really dumbed down the offense to help him. It was obvious they don't trust him. Very vanilla game plan. Heck we were running on 3rd and 7, 3rd and 9.
4. I'm ready to bang my head against the wall

I read a article that said Pruitt does not want to give the young guys that are not producing in practice a chance on the field even when they are down. He says it send the wrong message that you can just slack off and not be at the top of your game and still get a spot on the field.

I can't argue with that wisdom. Im not sure its a winning wisdom but I can't argue with it.

Agreed CB. And as much as I think we should be a run first offense that doesn't mean I think we ought to go off right guard on 3rd & 8.
It's like a little league game plan where you only throw it because the league rules say you have to once every 4 downs...

Yeah definitely can appreciate that point of view. At a certain point on the field results have to count somewhere at the level of practice field results I'd say but they don't pay me to figure that out-

Coach speak BS if you ask me. He admitted that Harrison Bailey never took the first rep until the Sunday night scrimmage AFTER the Georgia game. W.T.H.

I know contact tracing, quarantine blah blah blah. But you mean to tell me this kid hasn't got to practice AT ALL up to that point? What the heck are they doing at practice? Cant do good in practice if you aren't participating.
