Being a fan of the Tennessee Vols has to be tough right now.
The team suffered their second consecutive SEC loss on Saturday when they got destroyed by the Georgia Bulldogs 41-0. While it’s only the second loss of the season (3-2 overall), the 0-2 record versus the SEC drops the Vols to 5th in the SEC East.
To put the game in perspective, the loss was also the worst in the history of Neyland Stadium. So, yeah, things are not great right now on Rocky Top.
To demonstrate their frustrations, several fans posted videos that included burning their jerseys.

Following a disappointing season in 2016 — and an even more disappointing start to the 2017 season — fans have grown tired of not being able to consistently compete with the likes of Florida and Georgia in the SEC East.
If one thing is certain, it’s that these struggles can’t continue any longer if Butch Jones wants to survive this season.
