Yuck, yuck, and more yuck. That's right, Phil. Cover your nose because this team STINKS!So here we are, sitting at 2-4. Many in the Volunteer nation predicted we'd be in this unenviable position as soon as we lost to a UCLA team that featured a third-string offense in the season opener. And the best part? We could be 2-6 in two weeks. Next on the docket is a Mississippi State team that knocked off a solid Vanderbilt team today. If the scrappy Bulldogs can beat Vandy, they can surely beat the hapless Vols. Then - gulp - the juggernaut that is Alabama rolls into Knoxville. I prefer not think too much about that at the moment.
I, for one, am still waiting to see our offense take the field after the half. Did it even come out of the locker room? Someone call the Athens police and file a missing persons report. I never seemed to see our offense after halftime. Perhaps that was because the term "3 and out" was nowhere to be found in our defense's vocabulary. Even when we did manage to get Georgia in a third-and-long situation, I would say (to no one in particular, sadly), "Don't worry, Georgia. You'll get the first down." And they surely did.
I'm having flashbacks of Pat Summitt yelling to her Lady Vols, who were down to UNC in Cleveland a couple of years ago, "Can we get a stop? Are we capable of getting a stop?!" Someone needs get that clip and make our defense listen to it nonstop for the next six days.
I wish I could be a little optimistic and say things will look up. But alas, there is no up. Not so long as Phil Fulmer and the culture of underachieving is camped on Neyland Drive. Do we really think top recruits are going to come to a school where fans are so disgusted they don't even show up for games any more? Of course they're not. And who could blame them?
