The Official #11 Tennessee @ #6 Alabama Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[SmokeyOrange]

Can we hire Vanderbilt’s HC?

 

[CobbWebb71]

Yall are so stupid

When we blew the whole clock thing, it was obvious we had to throw, kick the FG.
Pretty stupid on your part not to recognize that.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Game is past over. We won’t get the ball back enough to score enough to win.

 

[CAVPUT]

We’re gonna see what kind of balls these guys have when they come out for 2nd half.
Plenty going against them already. We’re gonna see.

Do we really need to see? This team has over achieved and so has Aguilar. The talent simply is not there and the injuries have made thing worse. As long as they don't get humiliated in the second half, I'll be happy.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Down that close, do we not have a RB that can go over the top?

 

[Gandalf]

Looks like Vandy is pimping this week and we are the ones getting bent over and screwed

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Josh still thinking he’s at UCF riding Frost’s coattails

Log off. You're drunk

 

[Pennheel]

You are the epitome of the reason we lived the past 25 years as a program. You get all in your feelings and call for coaches jobs every other year. Heupel was better than what we deserved we he got here. His only fault was getting success too quick in 22 and make our fans even more delusional. But sure, have it your way. Let's be irrelevant for another decade and get a couple more coaches.

Yeah,don't call for a coaches head when hes already went 2-1 against Bama. 2 wins more than most of "great" coaches in the last 15 years at Tennessee. This team is beat up,and this was expected. No need to jump the gun.

Butchball tonight unfortunately.

Butch came within a drive of beating prime Nick Saban in Bryant Denny. Heupels a better coach and I don’t really have a point but just wanted to throw that out there.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

He didn't see the guy, D spied the whole time and jumped it.
If we were in a passing formation he would've had a better view of the field and had other options

No just no. You put it where only miles can get it. To the freaking pylon.

 

[JPL]

How many penalties have been called on Bama? I will wait. Freaking refs

The difference in the game:

As a recruit, Ty Simpson was a highly recruited 5* 98 on 247 QB fm TN who chose the gumps over TN.

Joey Aguilar was a 3* 82 on 247 QB, under recruited who ended up at TN after the fiasco that was Nico. Nothing personal, it is what it is, David vs. Goliath and the scoreboard shows it.

Game is over, turn off your tv, if you spent good money to go to the game, go home, this one will be ugly. Talent discrepancy is still vastly in favor of the gumps.

 

[rocketskates]

The offense literally gave them 9 points.

True. The biggest surprise is that the defense has only given up 14 points and the offense didn’t produce.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

I turned the TV off

Same. Didn't see the TD run back.
tV still off

 

[Orangeslide]

It was a bad play call. They knew we had to throw. Should have spread them out and give Joey options.

 

[djohnnyg]

Years from now when they show the highlights from this NOBODY is gonna talk about the coach. NOBODY.

 

[volfan102455]

Never seen a bunch of ignorant people who don't know football. Ball was clearly under thrown. Good play call, terrible execution.

Agree - but that is what is expected on this board. You throw it high there - either the tight end catches or you have a chance to kick a field goal.

We have moved the ball on Bama and we have stopped their offense.

 

[RAVOL]

lol all you want, but facts are facts. The pass was telegraphed and thrown inside of the receiver. JH didn't do that, JA did

Yes it was a bad throw. Period.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Got to hope that the staff and squad have more character and fortitude than our weak sisters in this thread. Too many not foxhole worthy.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Heupel sucks.

Wonder what Gruden is doing

 

[OrangeSquid]

The good news is there is no way we can be worse in the second half.

 

[Go47]

It's not impossible, but going to be a tall order. I have little confidence they'll get it done.

Hoping it's not a repeat of that GA game from 20 years ago.

Ugh. That’s a nightmare memory.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Put Joey in shotgun and throw fade to Brazzell, if incomplete kick FG. Stupid play call!!!

 

[joevols89]

lol all you want, but facts are facts. The pass was telegraphed and thrown inside of the receiver. JH didn't do that, JA did

The play was covered from the start and wouldn’t have worked no matter the ball placement, period. He had to throw that away. It was a horrible play call.

 

[basspond]

They never disappoint in their creativity in finding every way possible to kill themselves.

 

[YankeeVol]

Log off. You're drunk

Don’t drink anymore. But thanks
