By now, I was hoping I’d be able to share Booch’s show about the Georgia game with you guys. My understanding is that it’s a classic — to fill time, since there weren’t any highlights, he supposedly reviewed other conference games. Unfortunately, YouTube isn’t cooperating.
In the meantime, I suppose this will have to do.
Get The Picture 
Gee whiz!! Talk about panick!! It was one bad loss for crying out loud and these guys are whining like I’ve never heard before!! The Vols are 3-2 and one loss was because of a Hail Mary. If you look at their remains schedule the only other sure loss is Bama. They can still have a respectable season. Quit acting like a bunch of babies!! This reminds me of what happened to Georgia last season at Old Piss. Did the Dawgs fold up like a tent like these clowns are doing? NO!! Grow a backbone!!!

Unique perspective, Mayor and I might agree except Butch’s recruiting is reportedly circling the drain.

Except what has happened to them has occurred in reverse order compared to us last year. We got blown out then lost on a Hail Mary.

It’s still possible (notice I didn’t say “likely”) that Tennessee could finish 9-3 with their only losses being to UF, UGA, and Bama. That would mean beating their in-state rival as well. Would that record be enough to keep Butch around for another year?
Of course, he’d have to actually pull that off for it to even be a consideration, and what are the odds that happens? I think it’s more likely that he’ll be fired after they get obliterated by Bama.

I agree. They should keep Jones around. Don’t panic, Tennessee! Stay the course!

I watched it. It was one of the lamest things I’ve ever seen on the SEC network. There were only about three UT highlights from the whole game featured. Classically bad for UT.

They must have showed Jumper’s sack of Fromm about 20 times, from several angles, and at various speeds. Also, they showed the INT about the same number of times. If you didn’t know the final score, you might have thought UT won, or at least, kept it competitive. There were more clips from the GTU game than there were from the UGA game. It was almost as good as watching the paradigm of all opposing coach’s highlight shows, the Charley Pell Show, from Herschel’s junior year, when we beat them 44-0. Charley grimaced and grumped his way through it, and made it sound like they were one bad call (we stuffed UF early on the goal line) from winning the game. PS, it wasn’t a bad call, either.

We talking about the SEC Insider show? I agree, I watched a few minutes of that and turned it off. 100% propaganda and sunshine pumping. They showed the scoreboard from the Georgia game and then glossed right over it and on to highlights against GT.

It sounded eerily familiar, though, hearing them questioning why their DB’s give a 10 to 15 yard cushion on 3rd and 5. We have known their pain (in the past).

Watched the Booch highlight show this week. There were two plays they replayed 7 times each, the interception and the sack. Then there were 2 other plays over 10 yards they showed 3 times each. They also showed the kickoff returns to the 20 and 25 yard lines twice each. Then Booch gave his coach speak for the rest of the first 30 minutes. The second 30 minutes was filled with canned videos. Pathetic!

These guys are a perfect representation of the overall delusion of Tennessee’s entire fanbase.
The state of Tennessee does not produce much talent. In the 90’s, when Fulmer had it cooking, he could survive because he could raid GA, VA, SC, and NC. Now they can’t. Right closed off GA, VT has closed off the commonwealth, Clemson locked up the Carolinas.
They have to and still can recruit nationally, but that makes it an infinitely harder job than they are willing to admit.
In no way, shape, or form am I saying that UGA has the most rational fanbase, but we at least understand that our state is fertile with talent. Tennessee seems to think it’s 1997 forever.

Nail meet hammer. Good post.
Tennessee thrived when Phat Phil could come into north Georgia, north Alabama, Tennessee and western North Carolina. All of that has pretty much dried up, and Tennessee now has to recruit on hostile turf. When they had things going well, they could recruit nationally with the brand. All of that is gone now.

The wonderful thing is Tennessee is now seen by the 16, 17, and 18 year old out of state recruits as nothing special in the SEC. The last time TN played in Atlanta at the SECCG was 2007, and their last conference title was the same year as their natty under Tee Martin in 1998.
If I was a recruit, nothing would legitimately set Tennessee apart for me versus South Carolina or other mid tier football schools.

In his ongoing role as his Own Worst Critic, Butch called his own radio show with a profanity-laced tirade, blocked himself on Twitter, pledged not to attend another game at Neyland until he is fired, defaced UT’s beloved rock with anti-himself graffiti (“I Suck!!” and “Fire me NOW!!” being the only quotable remarks), and allegedly threw a brick through his office window.

This is simply not true. Butch had his QB’s come in his office to determine who should start the rest of the season and challenged them to a brick throwing contest. The first one hit the window, but it did not break. The 2nd one busted the window to earn the job.

Update: Jones has been declared a fugitive by the KPD. He is believed to be headed south on foot, attempting to join forces with Orgeron and make a break for Argentina. Fans sighting Jones or Orgeron are urged to fire them from a safe distance* and then notify authorities. Do not attempt to bring them to justice; both men are being hunted from helicopters by donors with sufficient point levels.
Copies of the termination letters in Hillbilly English (UT) and Cajun and Orgeronese (LSU) can be printed out at the AD websites, or obtained locally at Cracker Barrel, Piggily Wiggily, Liquor Barn, or Red Goose Shoes.

Booch ain’t skeered. At least not until the flaming couches begin to pop up between him and the airport. Those students and fans are old hats at people trying to sneak out of town, unless they fly to Ca in the middle of the night and leave the rest of the staff for the hanging.

Re the video: This group of the Yalta conference genius club are in collective self-preservation denial.Their attitude reminds me of my neighbor’s backyard Bar B Que. The entire grill was engulfed in flames because he forgot to remove his starter can and it tipped over. Someone yelled ‘Fred, your goddamed grill is on fire’. He didn’t even get up. Just said ‘It’s just the sauce on the chicken….it will make it crispy’.
Neyland’s on fire and they think it’s the propitious sign from God to start a Freshman QB who will be the answer. Please, don’t fire Butch.

This isn’t the Booch show. It’s the highlights from their official athletics site.
