If milton starts UT may not win another game he is dumb as a box of rocks

pfft

 

[rocketskates]

Lane outclassed us tonight. Flat out shameful. He had every right to throw us under the bus in the post-game, but he kept it respectful.

Ehh he was trolling us by playing the classy victim. When he was being walked out he was egging the crowd on with the sarcastic wave and then threw his visor into the crowd.

Someone told Milton to put some mustard on the ball and he ran to the sidelines looking for the bottle of French's on that last play.

I needed this laugh.

 

[knoxchief]

So would you be saying the same if they ruled a first down?

Wouldn't have to. It would be a moot point!

 

[GameTime]

A lot of drama to end a game....
Hooker gets hurt with seconds left....
Milton almost throws a TD pass...
Then Milton runs out of bounds to end the game...WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[C-south]

Wonder if Milton’s last play was a way to show his displeasure for being benched.

 

[Frozevol]

It will never be mentioned on tv ever again.

And the flopping!

 

[VolPack22]

I expected at the half that it would get out of hand.

Very impressed with the guys.

And you guys get off Milton. He had a tall, tall hill to climb, coming off the bench and trying to get to game-speed. It's not as easy to do as your recliners tell you it should be.

Whether it’s game speed or not, 99.9% would’ve at least attempted to throw a pass towards the endzone. Milton is the lone .1%. Can’t say I ever remember a QB doing that from the 20 yard line with 3 seconds left. It may not have been anywhere close to a receiver or the endzone but I’m making for damn sure I’m throwing it that direction. Running is not an option in that situation. Pretty much common sense on that play.

Well it would have been reviewed and overturned had they ruled first down on the play.

 

[rocketskates]

I do not understand why the talking heads are not even giving lip service to all the flopping. THAT caused the fan anger. They must find a way to stop that BS.

Or the BS “forward progress” fumble call.

 

[DuckInAPen]

He's not some new dude that had never played a college game.

He's started 10 college games now?

There's no excuse.

That's just flat out pure choking...

Perhaps, but it's a safe bet that very few, if any, of the posters who have so harshly and hyperbolically criticized our players throughout the evening could at any point in their lives have accomplished the things which they have condemned our players for failing to accomplish.

Coach talked about game of inches . Velus muffed punt, the 4th an 24 just inches , Tillman’s finger tips of Miltons only accurate pass, just inches . That kind of speaks on where we’re at as a football team just inches of being great. Soon as we find that inch . Well be back . Hate it for the guys. Hope hooker comes back if not HB here on out. I believe he gives us the best chance to win and get the ball to our playmakers . Depending on the Mays brothers. Really hoping a win next week.

We know who didn't throw the golf ball - joe milton

Sure, but at that point, he could do whatever he wanted at that point. Most people would have thrown the golf ball back.

 

[GVol1966]

What suxks is if Milton doesn't pus out and run outta bounds sticks his foot in the ground heads towards the endzone VERY VERY good possibility he rumbles in for a td.Theirs was nobody on his inside when he went outta bounds damn near clean path.Pathetic and soft no matter how u cut it.Corral stuck his shoulder down got that Td promise u that!Great team fight loved it qb bs at the end tho,no heart!

There was one, looked like maybe a DB, no excuse for not fighting for every yard, he may have scored

 

[rocketskates]

I’m sure that he wanted to do that. But he decided to rub it in even more by playing the poor victim after he came out before the game and fired up the crowd. He’s just a jagoff through and through man.

You’re correct. Kind of impressive that even with those shortcomings the refs gave the game away in the first quarter.

 

[orange_glory]

In the future, everytime we play Kiffin and/or Ole Miss we will have to hear about this game and the fans throwing crap.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

If I’m Danny White I would look into that.

If I'm Danny White I'm investing in a net/screen to raise in front of the student section, and also thinking about cancelling all beer and alcohol sales in the stadium. We cannot have a successful football program if this keeps happening.

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

Didnt condone iit at all, but TN fans have had enough,

After tonight’s embarrassing display, there is going to be much more grief in store. “Had enough”! Lol. Oh yes! Fans have had so much that next sniper rifles will be brought to bear! It’s a freaking game. Played by kids. I love our team. Our “fans” who engage in this criminal behavior can suck it. Go root for Alabama.

 

[nomads-11]

I hate to say it but it was definitely short since he kept it in his left hand

I certainly don't think it was where it was spotted, that was BS. But I still feel he'd have been just short.

Sadly, what will be remembered about this game will be stupid, classless fans, not players who gave their all for Tennessee. This team is better than anyone imagined it would be. Yes, there were lots of mistakes and questionable decisions by the staff and Milton at the end, but when fans lengthen a game by 20 minutes, they overshadow whatever progress is being made on the field.

They were just doing it to let our D rest....just a different cheat instead of having (12 times) a player fake a cramp in 40 degree weather! However.....it was rather stupid of them!
