Running up the score on UT Martin may have had something to do with the fact that we wanted Ty Simpson. However, Basilio did some digging and heard that it was because at one point in the recruiting process Coach Simpson said, “I can’t believe that guy got the job” referring to UT hiring Heupel. Word got back to Heupel so I guess CJH wanted to show him a thing or two.

Well we can cross Jason Simpson off as a contact for scouting good coaches.

And that’s likely an underreported number. Some marijuana overdose deaths are chalked up to other causes. It’s closer to 10 trillion deaths a year.

How does this translate to those who have had more than 2.5 marijuana's or less?

Lotta Tennessee fans were saying the same thing

Jason Simp-son, seems like an asshat.

Obviously something is going on.

I've fallen prey to calling names, and, agree its pretty sad. Dude puts himself out there, and struggles with boundaries. Folks feed/enable those issues by giving him attention he so desperately needs.

Special Education may just mean he was behind in classes.

He is an adult now. And in charge of his own life. The decisions he makes, will be held to account. Including any boundary issues, potential statutory, or, firearms issues/laws he may feel dont apply to him. Throwing your hands up and saying 'Officer, Special Ed class!' Works about as well as a soggy paper airplane.

In my experience the folks in special education classes weren’t going to catch up with the others. He’s an adult but that doesn’t mean he has automatically outgrown any issues he had previously. I’m just saying that before we condemn him for not representing us the way we want let’s consider his limitations.

I still don't think we ran the score up. 52 in the first half and the last TD was Fant throwing to Hyatt with Milton in the game.

It was homecoming, a very large number of starters won't be here next year and they were given some fun. It's why Fant got carries and a chance to throw, it's why Gaston Moore was given a greenlight to launch the last pass into the endzone, it's why Milton was throwing even with a lead. Simpson also left in his 1st team deep into the 4th so it was a great opportunity for some of the backups to face starters.

Hell they even kicked a field goal on their last drive to try and close the gap so it didn't look so lopsided. UT Martin never stopped playing to win, and I don't see any issue with Heupel allowing the backups to play to win either. If he had wanted to run the score up we would have seen Hooker throw for another 250 and 2 more TDs.

8 different players caught passes (more were targeted) & 9 different players had carries with a total of 5 players throwing passes too. Had nothing to do with running up the score, it was about getting as many real snaps to players for homecoming as possible.

Vols by .2 points, at worst

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I just wish we had scored the other 4 points and scored 69 cause that would've been nice.

Not when you’re tokin’ it

Or the VFL finally saved their loved ones’ soul. But forgot to bring them the appropriate Big Orange gear to change into first.

We need to save these poor misguided souls whenever possible…

So how's it going on saving your wife's soul?

Is she on the "Fire Jimbo" bandwagon? I imagine TAMU fans are completely beside themselves.

I guess coach Simpson didn’t see it that way though. Volquest GQ is saying Simpson refused to shake Heupel’s hand at the end. I didn’t see it so I cannot confirm.

it looked like he shook his hand after the game on tv to me. It was a brief one though.

He "shook" it. Hit him with the quick drive by.

Your meter is a little off.

Ohhhh… meter

[UTMVol76]

I’m glad the team is actually winning because ‘23 recruiting is dead lol

Focus on Hobbs and a couple others then put all focus on top grade transfers. I wouldn’t even care if it’s a couple high end one and dones.

Heupel during the postgame handshake:

On Andy, be gentle. Some people were calling him “retard” on social media. On the radio Andy let slip that he was placed in special education classes in school so we may not have the whole picture about his life. He’s a dreamer who loves the Vols.

No offense, but... that wasn't obvious for most?

I thought that was a forgone conclusion, and it seems he's lacked support for his situation in navigating the realt world. I don't want to talk bad about him because he's not all there and it's not something he can control, but I also don't like him having influence and representing us. I've always felt like most of the attention he gets is not genuine, but rather people making fun of him.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Nice comparison but Jacobs was actually a 3 star from Oklahoma. Maybe the best find Saban ever had

I believe Pruitt found him, IIRC.

It was more or less a hand slap, but they met for the handshake, said nothing, and made no eye contact .

I think we're pumping the brakes on letting new recruits into the class. Need to evaluate who we're going to lose to the portal and draft, and what the portal looks like as far as bringing in experience. We get to be selective now.

I don't think I will ever be fully cured...way too many deep scars on my heart.

We can fix it. Don’t give up hope!
