Monday morning of bye week = let’s dump on the Tigers!

Usually Monday mornings offer a great opportunity to hit reset from the week gone by. This can be nice after a win, as it gives fans an opportunity to relive the recent victory while still beginning the process of looking ahead. Even after a loss, though, it’s good to evaluate what went wrong and start moving forward.

The Monday of bye week after a loss, though? There’s no good to be found in those wretched plains. This is especially true of the Tigers, who have cannon-balled from atop the SEC East with consecutive losses to Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Monday’s stories reflect that woeful state.

  • Peter Baugh from The Athletic reflected on the loss and a pregame conversation with athletic director Jim Sterk for subscribers. Sign up for a free 7-day trial at http://theathletic.com/freetrial.
