Anyone else annoyed by the "lucky" narrative?

Perhaps I am wrong, but I feel as if the Georgia hail mary is being applied to our other comebacks as well.

Personally, I thought it was as well executed as you will ever see a hail mary, as @cswvol posted in his own thread.

We came back from 14 vs VT to win by 21. On top of that, we went on a 45-3 run, IIRC? Nothing lucky about that. We came back from 21 vs Florida to win by 10. We scored 38 unanswered points and were up 17 in the 4th. Nothing lucky about that. Both those teams still ranked in the top 25, fwiw.

The perception of Tennessee feels like it is some sort of lucky, pixie dust football program is aggravating to me. Very little talk about the improved play of Josh Dobbs, the dominance of Derek Barnett, the fact we are surviving without JRM, Sutton, and Kirkland...

It feels like folks are still waiting to believe. I don't get it.
