Seriously this could be a perfect ego check for your team. I fully expected you to lose to Va Tech, but now I think you win. Just need to get back to basics.

Tennessee hasn't been this hyped in a long time, and it has a terrible affect hearing how good you are all the time. It makes you complacent.

This game started with one of your best payers muffing a punt which gave them a shot in the arm and they took advantage of it and converted. AppState was sky high at the time and that energy couldn't last a whole game. The O-line will be fine, it is hard as hell to block small quick defensive linemen. And before you ask why everyone doesn't have small, quick DL, it's because they wouldn't last a whole season in the SEC.

I think this game will do a lot of good for you this season, and it doesn't change my expectations of you one bit, and I really think it helps to lay an egg like this and pull the game out.

Now if you guys can just doe something about Phil, I think he is going to blow a gasket. Worried about the guy.

I don't think it was a wakeup call at all. I think they are just a soft, undisciplined football team who thinks they're entitled to win because they go to UT.

You guys are going to be fine. I am telling you, those little whirling dervish type linemen give the big boys fits.

Remember you played the whole game without the heart of your defense also. That guy is a spark plug #21.

Meh people are just piling on. Y'all deserve a little shite, so just enjoy it and give it back when it is their turn to catch it.

Replace UT with A&M and there probably isn't much of a difference.

Oh, I'm gonna be prepared to feed them buckets of shite when some of them lose their openers this weekend.

Way way way too early in the season for that. This is a 12 round fight and you just took a nice left hook in the first round but ended up winning the round.

Except we aren't an entitled program. We work our asses off every day to get where we are. Nothing is given to us.

I think Tennessee fans are finally experiencing what SC fans go through every year: Having the whole world watch their team underwhelm in the first game of the season.

Everyone on the Rant always overreacts and calls any team that doesn't win by 40+ overrated. It sucks. Although, Tennessee fans were usually the first to throw shite on SC, so I guess it's poetic justice in a way.

Anyway, i agree. I think Tennessee will be better than they looked last night.

Seriously. I now understand why they lock this board and shuffle everyone over to a temp board during game days.

The number of shite threads created last night was mind blowing. Seemed like I saw the same titles four and five times by four and five different posters.
