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

[vavolfan6]

Vols not in same tier as Ga and Ala

We beat Georgia with a kick
We are playing Bama in Tuscaloosa and keep it a close game if not for a back breaking pick 6 with no time left in the 1st half.

Maybe not in the same tier becuase we make mental mistakes. But still a team capable if beating either team on a nuetral field if we are locked in.

Another USC turnover

 

[Cannot believe]

This was a terrible team performance. A terrible coaching job. You would hope by this time of the year, your team would be better prepared. Does Tennessee have a good coach or not. Gotta wonder?

 

[DaddyChad]

Running Simpson there not real intelligent imo

 

[oz615]

I love Heupel, but this was a BAD game. I have now totally lost faith in both our coordinators and Josh would be wise to replace one or both for next year.

That's the problem, he WON'T.

 

[johnboyhunter]

He just conceded the loss. Low T hype

There was that infamous HS game in the 90s where the team recovered 3 onside kicks in a row. NEVER GIVE UP

 

[Switch 625]

agree. Heup has worn his welcome out. Mainly because he cant make changes to help his team.

Or coach in game

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Been saying 8-4

Closer to 7-5 than 9-3

Either way, not making a playoff

Hope I'm wrong

I thought 8-4/9-3 before the season started. I’m not looking to fire Heupel or anything like that, but my attention span for the fb program has waned after watching them playing uninspired ball on the road time and time again. Add Tony leaving the baseball program, it’s time for me to take time away from college sports for awhile.

 

[CAVPUT]

Well, our misery is complete. Nico wins again. All that's left is for Vitello to leave as well. What a day.

 

[JMSqb11]

What kills me is how sloppy Heupel looks and presents himself. He just looks like he’s checked out constantly. Zero pride in himself or his job

Apparently not.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

I tried to tell some early this week that bama was kicking our ass. They called me out. You have to be realistic when you have seen your team play and seen the opponent play. It's not rocket science. There is no magic to it. Better players and better Coaches beat worse teams 95% of the time.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Heupel’s seat should be blazing hot after this game.

Idiotic

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I would just bring Merk in at this point.
No need for a dumb injury and Joey prob a little loopy from the neck and that hit

 

[Hank Bukowski]

And we will keep him until the recruits are not interested and the program slips into mediocrity

Good point. If I am a competitive, talented recruit, why would I want to jump on this sinking ship? I also would not be surprised if we see some portal activity among our current roster.

 

[tennessee1974]

I think Heupel proves that he is a good coach each year. A lot like Franklin at Penn State. He can win a few of the big games but never the ones that take you to the next step. It will be a few years but we will fire Heupel in much the same manner as Penn State fires Franklin.

 

[Mustng959]

Well there is a silver lining in this game ..... We didn't have a nail - biting finish that contributes more gray hair to my head.

 

[Mccage]

Such a bad tackling, undisciplined Defense. By far the worst display of tackling I've seen in a while.

Tired

 

[Nolensville]

Well see you next year suckers !

 

[jcvol87]

I take back my statement about Heupel being Fulmer 2.0 cause Fulmer had a national title, couple Sec titles, and owned Bama.

 

[Larkin]

I’m disappointed.
Defense lack of tackling and effort
Poor coaching on offense that changed the course of the game
Not that I expected us to win, but this is a straight up F across the board

 

[Vols919]

2-2 split series for graduating seniors but they're acting like Saban is back.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Been saying 8-4

Hope I'm wrong

You're wrong. We ain't losing again. The overreactions after a loss are so stupid

 

[Hunerwadel]

It's official:

 

[JMSqb11]

Well, our misery is complete. Nico wins again. All that's left is for Vitello to leave as well. What a day.

Since Hazle sucks and Aguilar is leaving, what if Heupel shakes up the staff and brings in Nico and Nueheisel combo…. Just a thought.
