When will enough be enough when it comes to Diego Pavia and his disrespect for the Tennessee football team? Time and time again, we've heard about Pavia taking a shot at the Vols for no reason. Well, a new moment has arrived that will leave people in Knoxville speechless.

In the new Netflix Show - SEC Football: Any Given Saturday - Pavia decided to let everyone know how he felt about the Vols ahead of their November showdown. Via Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel, Pavia had some choice words for the Vols and it's enough to make a lot of people see their blood pressure skyrocket:

Diego Pavia ripping Tennessee is something Vols fans are used to

“We can beat Tennessee literally any given Saturday. They think they’re going to destroy us,” Pavia said in November via Sparks' piece. “(Expletive) every single one of them dudes, you know? We’re gonna win this game at all costs.”

How'd that turn out for you, Mr. Pavia? Vanderbilt jumped out to an early lead in that game, but then Tennessee came storming back, with Dylan Sampson and others putting on a show. Nico Iamaleava played quite well too, throwing for 257 yards and four touchdowns.

Pavia and Vanderbilt started off hot, but to say things cooled down would be an understatement. Pavia ended up throwing for 104 yards, one touchdown and one interception. No, those weren't his stats in the first quarter, it was for the whole game.

Pavia made plenty of headlines not long ago when he basically tossed Tennessee under the bus and said that Vanderbilt was going to take over as the main SEC powerhouse in the state. We're not sure where all of his confidence is coming from, as Tennessee has dominated this in-state rivalry.

This summer, Pavia said he's got a natty on his mind with the Commodores this season. Hey, we don't blame him for dreaming, but let's be real here, Vandy won't be in contention. They'll be lucky to win 7-8 games this year.

As for Tennessee, the Vols are hoping to get back to the CFP and they're now going to have another reason to take down Vandy this campaign. Pavia better get ready for Tennessee pass-rushers to make him regret saying what he did too. Goodness.
