Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!


And it ain't over now, cause when the going gets tough. ......... the tough get going.



NOW WHO'S WITH ME?

What the frick happened to the VOL Warriors I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest season of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Shaft, we might get ridiculed on the rant.” Well just kiss my arse from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Atlgator, he’s a dead man! TT9, dead! Rickdaddyyy…........

DEAD!

V&S is right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!

I'm done with the moping around bull shite. My soul got ripped out on that game, but there's still to much to play for to pack it in on this season.

The East looks weak this year(shocker, I know). The big difference is we finally look decent for a change. I'm not confident in him, but Jones needs to make amends and take advantage of that. I think OU beats every team from the East outside of maybe UGA, fwiw.

Still got a lot to play for

Thank God. I was about to start a thread of these variety but mine wouldn't have been so kind. This wallowing in self-pity and self-immolating in front of everyone on tRant is fricking disgusting.

If you make it through UF you guys can still win 9-10 games. Lose to UF though and I'm not sure what happens to you guys.

WE SUCK DON'TCHA GET IT?!?!?!?!!

THINGS WILL NEVER BE HAPPY AGAIN!!

I'VE SEEN THIS SAME MOVIE FOR EIGHT YEARS RUNNING! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS?!!?

I'm reminded of a Louis CK routine:

"That's what optimism means! It means STUPID! An optimist is someone who goes, 'Hey, maybe something NICE will happen!' Why the frick would anything nice EVER happen?!"

We will lose to Florida with a spectacular meltdown, per usual.

I'm not down in the dumps just because we shite the bed vs Oklahoma, it's the tailspin to follow that everyone can see a mile away. I've seen this story play out before.

This is it exactly. A double OT loss to Oklahoma is not, in and of itself, a big deal. It's what's many of us fear is right around the corner that's a big deal. Some of us are just trying to gird ourselves in case the wheels come off.

I just don't see a path to victory in the Swamp, and when we lose, I'm not sure how the team responds from something that demoralizing and deflating.

Yep. I don't have faith in the staff to get this team's resolve fixed and none of the players on this team know how to win. We have talent out the arse, albeit young talent, but they do not know how to win yet. Neither does Butch Jones.

I have not had such a high turn into a low with Tennessee since the 2001 SEC Championship game. I couldn't focus on shite at work all last week because I was so fricking excited over this game. I had thought for quite a while that Tennessee was more talented and I knew Neyland would be rocking like its the 90's again . It should have been Tennessee's coming out party. I would've rather seen us get beatdown by three touchdowns than to get tricked into thinking we are finally back and having my heart ripped out AGAIN.

The pressure cooker is turned up to 11 on Butch for the Florida game and we all see how he does under pressure. I have zero confidence that this band of talented bed pissers can go down to Gainesville and exorcise 10 years worth of demons.

That's a great speech and all Shaft but it doesn't even phase me. Saturday was an unmitigated disaster, one that brings our coaches into serious question (worse than Florida last year which was bad enough). Without coaching you don't have a pot to piss in in this conference so this is quite the alarming revelation to me.

There is simply no way to justify it and now we have to wait two weeks to see another game that has the potential to change our minds with no evidence at the current time to believe it will, so yea, we are standing on the ledge my friend
