    4 games left, and I really cant think of an actual on-field highlight, unless you want to count the overtime thriller over GT, a team we should have clobbered.

    So, as this thing takes its last few breaths, let’s review the notable moments of the 2017 season...

    1.) Tennessee unveils, to a prime time national television audience, a garbage can as its new mascot
    2.) Tennessee embarrasses itself by allowing a Florida receiver to get behind its defense to score a 50 yard game winning TD pass on the final play of the game
    3.) Vols take out their frustration on UMASS with a 17-point flurry of offense, scoring what would be there only offensive touchdowns in the next month
    4.) Vols record worst loss in more than 100 years in Neyland stadium, fail to score against Georgia
    5.) Butch lectured media on “Fake news”
    6.) Butch educates media on importance of “leadership reps”
    7.) Butch fired after Georgia....nope, nevermind.
    8.) Butch fails to score an offensive TD in home loss to South Carolina, is subsequently fired....nope, nevermind.
    9.) Butch fails to score an offensive TD in 40-point loss to rival Alabama, is subsequently fired....nope, nevermind.
    10.) Butch offense celebrates first TD in over a month at Kentucky.
    11). Butch loses to Kentucky for only the 2nd time in last 33 years of Tennessee football, is subsequently fired....nope, nevermind.
    12.) Butch and staff overlooked a clearly concussed player on field for 2 full quarters against Kentucky, is subsequently fired...nope, nevermind.
    13.) #EmptyNeyland is a [uck fay]ing thing
    14.) Shy Tuttle “fell on a helmet”


    What am I missing?

    I can picture staff meetings being like that movie scene with Hitler in the bunker where he's completely lost his marbles and everyone stands around silently.

    Holy frijoles... this is the worst season I can ever remember. Worse than any of the DDIAPOS years... worse than the losing streak that got Majors canned... worse than... worse than... hell its just awful.

    The worst thing is that we're tired of even being pissed about it any more...

    It’s not enough for us to be bad. We have to be embarrassing as well.

    It's sucked, and doesn't look like anything is going to get better.

    The end.

    If anything, it's going to get worse, potentially way worse. Historically bad.
