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

Hey Mr. SIMPSON , you lost to Derek Dooley by 50 calm down

 

[molsen81]

Here come the quotes. Simpson is a god. Heisman front runner. Blah blah yackity schmackity

 

[Memphisvol87]

We outgained Bama on the road in Tuscaloosa. Just mental mistakes at critical moments that lost. We had to work hard to lose that game.

We out gained them because we picked up like 180 yards in garbage time.

This is not a playoff team. Currently it's all about the playoffs. Vanderbilt will pulverize this no defense defense.

What would you want them to do? Pick a fight and embarrass us more than we are already?

 

[amaralfan1]

It took a no-call targeting to Joey to slow down our offense. This is still a good Tennessee team

 

[RTVFL89]

Okay I know this game wasnt on the refs but that was a fkn touchdown.

 

[C-south]

Joey is a good enough qb for us to be undefeated. Coaching and defense is another story. At the end of the day..

 

[Orange-U-Glad]

Games like this remind me that being a Vol fan can be like having an incurable disease.

 

[LLcoolDave]

“Got some things we need to clean up.”
“Competitive composure.”
“Got to be the best version of ourselves.”

All that will be coming, in between sucks on a cough drop or whatever he has in his mouth during the post game

wish we had a press corps with nuts to ask the real questions.

 

[jcvol87]

As usual here come the idiotic takes. Sure let’s fire a guy that has won 10 plus games two of the last three years.

I don’t think CJH should be fired but he definitely needs to kick couple of others to the curb

 

[Proud Army Wife]

You can tell who is wasted in here lol.

sorry, I replied to the wrong message

 

[Memphisvol87]

Honestly, losing to bama is always painful. Especially the way we played. They’re good. We just had plenty of chances to keep it one score and we did the worst possible things.

The season is still in front of us but the way we are playing I seriously doubt we win out.

 

[johnboyhunter]

You have to score to attempt an onside. You’re down 3 scores. Kick the fg unless you’ve just given up.

I agree

 

[vavolfan6]

when has this team been locked in on both sides at the same time in a big game?

Hard to know since we haven't been healthy all year defensively and will never get a favorable whistle in Athens or Tuscaloosa.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Gruden at $14 mil annually

Id be for that 100%. If Tennessee wants to win, that is. John Gruden can coach football. Look at Bobby Petrino; took A&M to the wire today. Heuple isn't in that category. You want a nice guy, or do you want to win? That is the ?.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Even if you flip the pic 6 to a Tenn TD they still win

Not when you factor in the FGs we passed on. That bonehead call and throw determined the game.

 

[volfan102455]

As usual here come the idiotic takes. Sure let’s fire a guy that has won 10 plus games two of the last three years.

There are some that have been wanting to fire him since he was hired. I'm not sure they are really fans.

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

Aguilar’s inability to score at the goal line and worse, make terrible throws that result in game altering end of half’s-is really really annoying. I don’t think the better team won. This was one of Heupel’s worst performances as a coach. He’s a good coach, but man….real frustrating one.

 

[Butch s]

You do realize we are not the best team in the great state of Tennessee, right???

 

[Creekcat]

Can’t wait till the next game.

Careful what you wish for.

 

[molsen81]

As Vols fans, our stress levels are high. Eat ice.

 

[The_topis_Rocky89]

Okay I know this game wasnt on the refs but that was a fkn touchdown.

That was 1000% a touchdown they didn’t even review the play

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Tennessee just can't execute

Kinda disagree on the execution part, the Vols have shot themselves in the foot (and possibly other body parts) all night long.

 

[BigALWiLson]

I just don't feel the same about these games anymore. Disgusted we show up unprepared every damn road game. I believed Heupel could deliver, he just doesn't have it and will never have a disciplined football team. There is some merit to laziness and appearance imo. Anyway maybe he will figure it out.
