Gator fans, I haven't been hiding out after (yet another) a loss to FL. I put in 35 hours of work from Friday evening through Midnight Sunday. Have only seen one play on highlight film, so I can only go by what I've heard from others;

From what I gather, it was two bad teams playing poorly yet fighting like hell for a W. UT had opportunity in the first half to turn the game into a possible blowout, but couldn't capitalize on it...honestly, it sounds like they failed miserably when opportunity knocked. Tennessee shot themselves in the foot and lost the game.

Looks like both teams have some future 1st round draft picks, but neither does any one thing extremely well as a team. I give credit to Florida...They did a better job of adjusting and capitalizing on opportunity when it mattered most.

I miss the 90s and early 2000s when the UT/FL game was always a critical factor in determining the SEC champion.
 
I ain't gonna lie...this loss stung like a half dozen red wasps. Haven't been this frustrated and disappointed over a loss in close to 15 years. Probably because it's time for that next signature win and the Vols were favored to beat a bad Florida team at home.

On the bright side, I still believe Butch is the right man for the job and will still be in the SEC when Muschamp is gone. Not sure about our OC, though.. Butch maybe should consider hiring a proven OC, regardless of the cost.
 
Im a big vol fan, but Butch has a say in the calls as well im sure he could have called out some of them awfull redzone palys we had. His getting the 4 and 5 star players to come to UT and thats awesome! but if he comes out next year and only gets 5 or 6 wins again with the kinda players his getting? they will be alot of very upset UT fans I think he gets a pass this year since its only season #2.
 
I never thought Fulmer was the great head coach some thought he was, but he had tremendous ability to develop and coach offensive linemen. Maybe he could help in some way. I realize UT has a bunch of kids on the line right now, but there is always room for improvement.
 
yeah there is no way are O-Line can be any worse next year with everyone coming back, there no way are run game can be any worse with hurd again next year. are WR's should be about the same. but we still lose some good guys worly! Aj Johnson! Neal. all guys who have played alot this year
 
we can have a good defense and good running back.awesome WR'S but with out a O-LINE or a QB next season none of it matters.
