Not sure this is what happened but after the missed facemask JJ appeared to be to tell Pruitt to gtfo of the huddle and he had this. Of course he and JG did have this

I’d love to know but it appeared JJ took leadership over his coach which was awesome

So after one of SC's touchdowns the crowd was getting rowdy. I think it was the one after Pruitt got the personal foul (it's hard to remember when I'm at the game and there's a bunch of stuff going on haha). Anyway JJ came out on the field during the tv timeout slowly walking to the huddle. Moved his arms in a motion that seemed like he was telling the crowd to settle down. I told the gut sitting next to me JJ says he's got this. Sure enough two or three plays later he breaks 4 tackles on his way to the checkerboard! What an awesome night!

I agree.

The last time I had saw a game in Neyland Stadium was 98 (UAB). I didn't remember that game being really loud or the stadium shaking or the feeling of electricity in the air. I do remember being told to sit down and be quiet and I hadn't really been interested in going back. I feel like we had became a spoiled fan base in late 90s and felt like we were entitled to wins.

My sons 1st TN game was yesterday and I wanted them to have an exciting experience like I had my 1st game (85 UCLA). Last night the stadium wasn't full, the pregame was a little quiet, USCjr hit that TD on the very 1st play, and the refs were throwing flags early. I thought I made a huge mistake, but I'll tell you, something awesome happened. What would have wrecked our fragile teams of the last 10 years didn't faze this VOLUNTEER team. They responded by scoring touchdowns, dominating special teams, and totally shutting down the gamecocks offense. They performed all 7 maxims to perfection. Last night it was loud, it was electric, and Neyland Stadium shook. VOL Nation has been starving for so long and it was fed in a big way last night. It was amazing to be apart of and my sons loved it. Pruitt is the coach we've been waiting on.

After a little more than 24 hours after the game and here are a few thoughts:

- We learned how to win last night. USCjr is a solid team. Not great like UGA, Bama, etc but very solid. And you could see the team apply what they have learned and take the victory. This isn't a win that was handed to us. We're earned it.
- This staff has done what many thought they couldn't. They are coaching these players and you can see their development from week to week.
- Super proud of VolNation! We showed up and supported every person associated with the athletic department. We were even loud during tv timeouts when they brought R.A. Dickey, Candace Parker and other VFLs. It was awesome!
- One thing I personally learned over the last few weeks is it's rarely as bad, or as great, as it seems. Just enjoy the season. Before I get hammered for this what I mean is when we lost to GA St. it seemed like many were telling us we won't win 3 games. Well we have and we are going to win more! Never underestimate what team work and fighting for the guy next to you does!

Go Vols 🍊🍊🍊

Well everyone has testosterone levels (Male and Female) and if you have low testosterone you could have “energy issues” so that’s why I was wondering.

Sorry if that is weird.

I'm weird lol. The UT research doctors at Erlanger called me interesting because they said nothing worked the way it's supposed to so I am always open to suggestions.
