The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[ftsandersvol]

Cut Herbstreit off. Listening to Bob even though there is a 15 second lag. Couldn’t stand it no more.

 

[Stephen Gray]

Tennessee. Second tier.

Bollweevil. Obvious troll.

 

[Larkin]

BVS is alive and well

 

[kptvol1]

I hope Hooker is ok, but the season was lost tonight in all honesty. We were fighting for the playoff, but will now play a useless bowl game. Protect Hendon for his future.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Let this sink in. This bunch scored SIX on a Florida team that has basically given up. This defense has given up 49 points in a little over 3 quarters. Rattler had 8 TD passes all season. He has FIVE tonight. I haven’t been one to call for coach firing but Heupel has to get someone better than Martinez and some more defensive talent. This is inexcusable to have a playoff berth go awry like this.

Sometimes bad is bad

 

[Coug]

Not with our D

We weren't winning that game with Hooker staying in.

 

[Switch 625]

Willie Martinez should coach at Pellissippi State and nowhere else

I don’t want him in this state.

 

[iWishItWasTheWeekend]

How can you people tell how bad his injury after a single 3 second play?

 

[allen phillips]

I have no confidence we’ll win this game. We have no defense. You just cannot win without a defense.

Well, with the exception that we cannot cover, we cannot tackle, we cannot catch the ball, when we are on offense inside the 10 yard line we run up the middle, we cannot get to the QB we are playing pretty well.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Hooker is done. He either broke his ankle or blew his knee out.

 

[C-south]

Get outta here with that

Ok

 

[tim]

Please don’t be injured. You provided so much hope this season and made me love the orange again. Prayers!!

 

[rocketskates]

Their turf is ****ing sand, man. It's awful.

They take pride in a sh*t field. That’s why they play sand storm. But they are kicking our ass.

 

[patrick]

Being in the position we were in never comes easy outside of Bama and UGA. Might be quite some time before we have this shot again.

Exactly. And the Vols blew it all to hell. Defense did not even show up, not that it is even average.

Wasted an incredible opportunity. Sad sad sad.

Shoulda coulda woulda.

 

[tnvols72]

Throw these ****ing orange helmets away!

was never impressed with them

 

[tdd]

Hope Hendon is ok. Don’t want to see it end for him this way. Sad day all around for the Vols. This game scared me all year. We are just not a very good team away from Neyland. I know we beat LSU but LSU is a different team now.

 

[RockyTop140]

The QB is anything but mediocre, and he has had all day to throw against an OVC secondary

Before this he has 7 TDs and 8 picks. Our D gave up over 400 to Anthony Richardson. You should know better at this point.

 

[tntornadox]

Carolina isn’t having a problem

Some of their guys have had issues with it too.

 

[vols40]

Throw these ****ing orange helmets away!

I'm with you though I don't think the helmet has anything to do with it. But it sure looks alot like Clemson. Maybe should have waited a week before bringing these hideous things out. South Carolina hates Clemson

 

[casetopia]

What a nightmare night.

 

[carolinaviking]

If Hooker just got knocked out, things are about to get interesting. We have a full quarter left.

 

[TENNESSEESLIM]

We are playing for pride now. Go vols

 

[gr82batnvol]

Well that doesn’t look good. I guess it’s time to start building for next year. Prayers for Hooker.

 

[Volbrando]

Ban natural grass then.

That’s what we have

 

[VolMarine1371]

Praying for Hooker l.
