In the days since the conclusion of the regular season, we're still reacting to what we saw on Saturday.

But most importantly, what's going to come in the month of December for the Tennessee football program to take that next step?

You are locked on balls.

Your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers. part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Good Tuesday morning, everybody. Welcome into it, your Tuesday morning Lockdown Volves.

I'm your host, Eric Kane. Appreciate you guys for being here making Locked On Balls.

It's part of your morning routine, your first listen, your first watch.

Each and every single morning, we are a part of the Lockdown Podcast Network where it is the number one podcast network available right now and it is your team every single day. Your team of the Tennessee Volunteers through good and bad feels like it's horrible right now, but it's really not all that bad, all things considered in terms of, you know, aware of this program has been in years past, but I know that doesn't, it just doesn't feel good right now because the last thing you saw was Tennessee just getting boat raced against Vanderbilt. And yeah, it was just horrible. We're going to continue to talk about that a little bit with Caleb Jaro coming up, the Daily Times. His thoughts, his reflections on the season that was and all this leading into a bowl game, of course.

We won't know that destination until Sunday.

Mailback questions.

I took a lot of time and scoured the YouTube comments again, trying to get as many of the questions that I can find some comments as well.

So this is kind of your show, you every dayers. You know, we call it the mailbag edition of the show every single week on Tuesday. So going to get into that in segments two and three as well. All that and more right here on lockdown. National Signing Days tomorrow. When you wake up, you'll get a National Signing Day preview so you can listen to, head into National Signing Day. day and lo and behold, maybe the time you listen to it, a lot of the hayward to be in the barn,

Josh Hopper likes to get

his class signed early in the day. So we'll get you set for National Signing Day coming

up on tomorrow's show. But without further ado, let's get into our conversation with Caleb

Jarrow, the Daily Times, his immediate thoughts on the sentencing football season as a whole.

Caleb, 8 and 4 regular season, we know what happened on Saturday, horrific second half for Tennessee,

obviously leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

You remove all that, and this year's kind of what many thought it was going to be, right?

Not in 3, 8, and 4. Your immediate reflections on the Tennessee football season, Josh Hoppill's fifth year. Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head with this is what we expected. You know, nine and three would be your prediction if you had an upset somewhere mixed in. But I feel like eight and four was the floor for this team. The schedule was really easy, and they finished 8 and 4. I think where you get the fan discourse is nobody wants to get blown out by Vanderbilt, especially Tennessee, and also the close losses early in the year. You know, Georgia comes to mind where you're going to overtime. I feel like those set unreal expectations on this football team.

And then that kind of hurt fans down the road.

And that's where you get some of the discourse.
