No, I am not going orange here or anything.

But coming back, despite constant injuries and what looked a turn over every other series, against a team with the talent of A&M is damn impressive.

There are no good losses. Trust me, I know this. That having been said the Vols look like a a very solid team this year.

I had a very quick snap and clear last night but the more I think about this game today, the more it pisses me off.

700 yards of offense on one of the best DL's in the country and we lose due to 7 fricking turnovers, many of which were just dumb unforced mistakes

Throwing on first play during the second overtime was pretty fricking stupid looking back at it. That Aggy defense was fricking gassed at the end (VOLS ran over 100 plays on offense) and we knew we needed a TD to force another OT. Run Kamara, run Kelly and run Dobbs until they force you to do otherwise imo

People are over looking our injuries as well. MG was very limited due to injury, same with Ford (who normally sets up our 1/2 punch with TW), and RSJ was out. Washington and Wilson played through injury as well.

Both teams are banged up because of the physicality of the SEC and the schedules they had both played up to that point. It was a great game and one that could have been won by either team. Good luck to UT the remainder of their season and hope we make it to Atlanta to play you.

Poor conditioning and poor coaching finally overcame talent.Dancing in practice doesn't get you in shape.

Bama wins big despite the valiant effort of the five stars to overcome their coach and the odds...

Thanks, Arksulli. While there are indeed no good losses I feel great about the future.

This is also a reason I don't ever want to see a team like Houston make the playoffs. They don't have to play top level talent and get beat up week in and week out. Glad they lost to Navy.

Not sure why there is so much Butch Jones hate around here but his players play hard for him.

It happens. I can't say anything to knock you on this.
