Vols with one bad loss to a team with less talent than them (Missouri) and one win over a team with more talent than them (A&M) this season.

@ReedCarringer I don't think the issue is that we lost. It is that we were favored and got blown away.

@ASmithVol I think that’s easier to take when you blow teams out. But that hasn’t happened this year either.

@ReedCarringer What's the trajectory, though. Everyone seems to agree next year looks like another step back. After 9-4 in 2015 we thought the best lay ahead. The long-term ceiling of the program is shrinking bit by bit.

@dogdaybarry I didn’t think that.

@ReedCarringer still unacceptable with the talent TN has

@HoleIn1PacDunes Losing to Missouri is unacceptable. Yes.

@ReedCarringer Both things can be accurate Sadly most of us (raises hand) haven't learned yet that putting expectations on Tennessee football is a fruitless venture

@THEKID_ Especially on the road.

@ReedCarringer The bowl game won’t be in Neyland and will likely be against a decent team. Expecting Heupel todo what he does on the road leaving TN 8-5……….

@Tampa__Vol Neutral site is different than the road

@ReedCarringer Still a painful loss 😭. BUT, we are definitely lightyears ahead of where we were a few years ago. And we got to this point much quicker than we should have

@ReedCarringer Regardless of what happens vs UGA, a trip to Tampa or Jax with a win vs Notre Dame would be nice

@ReedCarringer Ppl really don’t understand how difficult 8-4 will be next year imo

@G_Miller1023 1999 Vols only won 9. Arguably the most talented team Tennessee has had. Not many Kirby/Saban’s out there that win every single year without a lull.

@ReedCarringer The way Tennessee is losing these games is why everyone’s TL is on fire. I get losing to Bama but other than that, this team loses games it has no business losing. We can (rightly) blame refs all day long but ultimately, we’re our own worst enemy.

@ReedCarringer We scored 7 points and got blown out but not to worry we are going to go 8-4!

@ReedCarringer I really thought we’d be 9-3 before the bowl game! Next week just became a trap game for Georgia!

@ReedCarringer If this team gets to 9-4, Joe Milton (hated by UT fans) will tie the best record posted by Josh Dobbs (worshipped by UT fans)
