Tennessee hype? Who did they beat?

[gatorshime]

I was watching ESPN going over the Bowl season and they were saying what a wonderful and great job Pruitt did at U.T. to end the season with 5 straightvwins and to finish 7-5 but, is it really all that great?

They beat:

S.Carolina,
U.A.B.,
Mizzou,
U.K. and
Vandy
who were a combined 29-32 and if you take away UAB’s 9-4, they beat teams with a combined record of 20-28. Don’t get me wrong, they can keep Jeremy as long as they want as he’s also the coach who lost to Georgia St. to start the year and is IMO, an AWFUL football coach. It just gets to me how all these so-called expert Analysts don’t look at the entire picture. Well besides Heather Dinich who kept saying we didn’t deserve to be in the CFP given our 2 Division 2 schools on our schedule BUT, WAIT, she didn’t bring up how we were the ONLY Power 5 school to play not 1 BUT, 2 Power 5 schools in their out of conference schedule. She’s awful and beyond biased in my humble opinion. I have no problem with female analysts or announcers, just make them knowledgeable like Sam Ponder who knows her stuff.

It happens every single year. The back end of the U.T. schedule is always weak. They always finish with some wins to finish up the year. I do think they improved some but yes they still aren’t a very good team.

When people realize nothing is against the rules when the rules are not enforced.

 

[sadgator]

It’s gotta stop...please @Nolez24 ...please stop doing this...

 

[sadgator]

And as to the point of the thread...

who did we beat that was any different than UT?!?!?!?

seriously...

If people don’t understand that Pruitt rescued Tennessee out of the garbage dump this season, sadgator doesn’t know what to tell you. They had every reason to quit on him, and they didn’t...

yes, the loses at the beginning were bad, but he did one hell of a job saving them as the season went on...

Our visit to Rocky Top next year will be tough.

 

[kb851]

Agree with the above and I apologize for joking about the porn in the other thread

 

[bradleygator]

This douchebag is going to get the entire board shut down. Hey douchebag, there are a bunch of us who like posting here and have been doing it for years. Not to mention you could get some poor bastard fired if one of those gifs pops up on a work computer. Can you figure out some other way to be a douchebag that doesn’t involve ruining the board for everybody? Thanks in advance.

Much better.

So I see from the other thread that the transition to candy-themed porn is not comprehensive.

Disagree. We beat them pretty easily again next year.

2019 and y'all still post from a work computer?

Agree. They are trash. Will be trash again.

In the 90's the phrase Volheimers was coined.

They'd take their annual beating vs UF. Drop another mid season game. End the season beating the likes of UK, Vandy, and a horrible(at the time) South Carolina team and they were the bestest in the world and should be front runners to win the SEC the next season.

Man, that is oddly hot...

Yep. It happens every single year since the 90s.

Who could ever forget the 1994 Citrus Bowl when Penn State whipped up on Tennessee? All they did 2 months prior was claim they were the better team. Then in 1996, they lose to Memphis, I believe, late in the season after bragging about being the better team. They also had to rely on LSU and Georgia to play Nebraska in 1997 and of course, Peyton blew the Heisman to a more deserving Charles Woodson.

If Spurrier only leaned more heavily on Fred Taylor in 1997 the same way Saban used Derek Henry.

Exactly.

Pruitt has brought back the tradition of Tennessee football.

Sorry but Mr. Potatohead didn't rescue jack crap. He has been driving that program into the ground if you haven't noticed. He's not recruiting as well as Butch Jones was before him, so the talent level is going down there with every year he stays, not to mention he drove off much of the senior talent that they DID have by blaming those players each and every day he's been on the job for all of Tennessee's woes. It's supposed to be part of his job to protect those players from such criticisms, instead he threw them under the bus on day one in his coaching acceptance speech and has never quit since. He can't develop players. He can't figure out game time adjustments to a game plan. He can't call plays for crap. And his idea of motivating the players is to scream at them.

What did he do this year? He stumbled upon the one and only winning formula he had. He just started throwing hail mary passes on every other down to his 2 senior WR's who just happen to be the only NFL talent left on that team. Those 2 guys bailed the entire program out this year and it only took him a year and a half to realize that all he had to do was throw it deep on every single play to one of them and they usually will catch it or get a penalty against the D. Well guess what, those 2 guys are gone now. He has nothing left in his bag of tricks. And let's look real closely at just how pathetic the back end of their season was anyways. A missouri team that won't go to a bowl game. A South carolina team that won't go to a bowl game. A Vandy team that won't go to a bowl game. A Kentucky team that hasn't even had a quarterback playing the position for much of the year. And some token OOC game from the FCS. Yeah that's a real proud turn around. Boasting about that is about the same as boasting that McElwain won the SEC East his first 2 years here even though they were historically the 2 worst years for the East in the SEC Divisional era.

When they fail to go to a bowl game next year, do not be surprised one bit.

They are certainly going to miss the 2 WRs in Calloway and Jennings.

I'm sorry but people don't realize just how good those 2 were. Still amazed to this day that they somehow ended up at Tennessee. Even as Freshmen they were big game. Caught the pass with 4 seconds left 3 years ago to put the dagger in Georgia's tainted black heart.

It didn't matter what QB Potatohead put into the game once they changed the offense to all-deep-passes. The game plan was the same and so was the completion ratio and general scoring. Throw it deep and throw it often, let those 2 win you games. That's not improving a football team overall in my book, that's taking a year and a half to finally figure out what your best players are and how to use them.

sadgator disagress.

 

[grommit]

sadgator disagress.

That of course is your prerogative, but just watch what happens next year when UT has zero offense and a defense that still cant find a turd floating in a toilet bowl. I guarantee to you that Mr. Potatohead will continue to blame it all on his players and assault innocent whiteboards on the sidelines.

And as to the point of the thread...

who did we beat that was any different than UT?!?!?!?

seriously...

Auburn 27 - 21 Oregon (and the fools just ranked 6. Ore above 7. UF)
Auburn 48 - 45 Alabama
Auburn 13 - 24 Floirda

Not to mention UF 34 - 3 Tennis-sea...
