But he can’t wait to throw every petty shot at us. Crook neck midget @David Ubben.He no longer covers UT
That vandy defense wasn’t close to the ole miss defense….. they had fired their coach….. using a female gimmick kicker…. They had quit on the season. Milton has definitely not been the answer so hopefully Bailey has taken advantage to improve as a playerYep - it was classic Milton. Panic, run right into your own blockers, turn around and run left, see a defender coming about 5 yards away, take off running down the sideline, realize you've already screwed up, run out of bounds. Perfect.
HB successfully went against the Candy D last season, which was about the same as the OM D this year and last. No Hooker, bad Milton, why such angst against HB? Dumb IMO. He hit 70.6% of his passes for over 8 Y/A with 4 TD's and 2 picks. He slides in the pocket and can get 5-6 yards when needed with his legs. The have to dumb the scheme down for Milton to do it badly. They can dumb it down for HB to do it decently if HH is out.
We should do another fan driven statement. Like next home game, blackout the stadium to bring awareness to the officiating. Hopefully bringing the media to have to talk about it. The first Checker Neyland was fan driven. They even mentioned CleVOLander on the broadcast of this game. We need to keep pushing the narrative somehow.
Throwing stuff was wrong. They wouldn't have addressed the officiating no matter what. The fact the announcers just glossed over it as if making up crap on the spot was acceptable tells me that.For me the biggest problem with the whole throwing stuff incident (other than that people could have been hurt) is that it effectively erases the officiating and fake injury issues as a point of national conversation. If that hadn’t happened, maybe there would be a lot of stink in the press about the D-TD callback or the fake injuries but as it is the clickable story is the misbehaving fans.
Sure, probably would not have made a practical difference in the grand scheme of things but maybe it would add to the overall conversation.
