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

[allstar34bd]

PeeWee ******** football. UT beats up Community Colleges, struggles with sub-par sec fodder, and fails to execute against any quality team this year. WTF is going on in Year 5?

 

[BigOrangeD]

We need better coaching on defense. We have the talent but they need to be coached better.

 

[lilesrt]

Heupel and this team shouldn’t be let back in the state of Tennessee after this embarrassing showing. Barf!

 

[HighRockvol]

That was a hold on the score but oh well, this defense is as soft as there coaches

 

[Butch s]

And we’re about to let Tony Vitello get away, but we’ll keep banks and Martinez. Sounds about right

 

[volgr]

Danny White has to force Heupel to make staff changes and if he doesnt, he can go. His program is stagnating.

 

[zaqhhh]

We have to get our corners back. Period end of story.

But my guess is we have one back for Oklahoma.

Can’t really afford another loss

 

[JMSqb11]

I’ll be honest, I don’t want Heupel fired or ran off, but I most definitely wouldn’t be upset if he left either.

 

[SKBubba]

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

[2EastTnVols]

Heupel will continue to win enough to not get fired, while winning no championships. And we will continue to pay stupid money to fill the seats every Saturday. Go Vols

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

This has been a pretty shameful performance. No excuses.

 

[sonofUT62]

Serious programs don’t employ Tim Banks and Jeremiah Telander. Also Arion Carter is way over rated.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I loathe Alabama and Simpson as much as I ever did Vanderbilt or anybody else.

 

[The Original Fade]

UK 50/50
OU L
NM W
UF 50/50
Vandy 50/50

We could be 6-6 when all is said and done.

 

[BradstarVols]

Funny

 

[BleedOrange81]

Heup will probably give banks a pay raise. 1.5 million isn’t enough.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Heupel has peaked with the current staff.

I won't be surprised at all if we lose to trash Florida in a few weeks given the lack of discipline on both sides of the ball.

You already know that's coming.

 

[Cartervol]

Alabama is a better team. Tennessee has 2 or more losses in them.. Most undisciplined, poor tackling team we've ran out there in Heupel's 5 years.

 

[Volswin98]

Well nothing will change. We will hear “they are better than they were 5 years ago. Oh that will be $4000 for those nosebleed tickets.”

 

[Boca Vol]

I give Bama props for going for it on 4th down. Put the game away

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Did Greg McElroy go to Alabama or something?

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

Just inability to grab onto anything to make a tackle.

 

[vavolfan6]

Games been over since the dumb pick 6. Never was going to overcome that mistake with this defense. Not sure why I put myself through watching the 2nd half after that.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

We have the slowest players on defense

Our linebackers and safeties are not good .

 

[Allvols98]

Vandy ..will demolish this team. Let that sink in
