The Official #14 Tennessee vs. #18 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Chimichanga]

Gilbert’s miss tonight wasn’t what lost the game…. Yee haw haw haw

Didnt say that i was waiting for a rammer hammer after that yee haw

 

[Cannot believe]

Season over… on to basketball, where you can make the playoffs with many losses.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Everyone is going to blame this on the defense and bad turnovers but man did our OL get pushed around tonight

We had 60 yards rushing on 35 attempts.
They had 192 on 35 attempts

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I guess Dark mode didn't Scare Oklahoma

They did whatever the gay crowd participation thing is they do last year in Norman and the Vols went in there and handled them.
It’s just a fan thing. That’s all. It did look awesome

 

[Vol_guy]

It'll have to get bad before Danny would fire him i think, but let's say we go 8-4 or very unlikely 9-3 this season would you fire him if you were AD...I'm not disagreeing with you at all, Heupel has me so damn mad right now just a conversation

If we win out, then no. But let's be honest. We are not beating Florida or Vandy.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

I’m honestly not even mad. College football is going down the tube anyways with nil. I just can’t get so worked up about this stuff anymore

 

[GoVols9800]

And just like that Max Gilbert destroyed an entire coaching staff and can base, send him packing.

Did he steal your girlfriend? Pretty obvious he did.

We had 60 yards rushing on 35 attempts.
They had 192 on 35 attempts

Our O Line is overrated.

This roster is pretty stacked. I’m not hoping to get many losses. I would love it if not only for myself, but for Barnes to finally get one this year. Even a final four.

 

[Scoot!]

Heupel has served his purpose. Another year or so of him helping Tennessee forget the Pruitt years. It socks but it is a winning record.

Socks!

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I doubt any of us live to see Tennessee win another SEC title, or NC.

100%. I’m 69 too. Not enough years left

 

[Butch s]

Defense played the best they have in several games. They held Oklahoma to a low enough points that we should have won. Offense let us down tonight. Turnovers and failure to close out drives early are what nailed us.

Once Oklahoma figured out we weren’t aware that a QB is allowed to run the ball,we were beat

 

[hardyemt_p]

Or hire a better coach. Some of yall must be afraid of your own shadow.

Name 3 proven coaches that would come here?

 

[Matt2496]

I will be pulling for Oklahoma against Bama, Missouri, and LSU.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Our offense lost this game. I don’t know why we didn’t just kick the ball away with 2 timeouts. Pin them deep. Our D was stopping them good in the first half and our offense just squandered away opportunities and gives them gifts. We had opportunities to put the Sooners in an early bind and we let them off the hook with gifts and blunders. The Sooners got an early Christmas gift tonight.

 

[LibertyVol]

I agree, but he did get UT to the playoffs last year. I think he has earned a little leeway.

Remember, he's got a pretty good recruiting classes coming in too

And these guys will learn to choke just like these guys have.

 

[orangerush]

Name 3 proven coaches that would come here?

The trinity.

 

[djones24]

Heupel is what kelly was for lsu. Stabalizer. Need to make a hire for actual coach who can win big games now if we want to be a contender

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

You have posted just the absolute dumbest trash all night. You ruin any game thread with your nonsense. You should be completely embarrassed but that would take some self awareness. Just stfu

He's just a dumb troll. Best not to engage trolls

 

[GhostVol]

Great chance for him. Terrible call for Heupel. Every idiot knows you trust your playmakers when the games on the line. That goes for any sport. Pump the sunshine all you want, there is no rationalizing that decision.

Why was it a terrible call? The catch would get a first down when you had to have one.

There was no one within 3 yards of the guy, you'd think he's made that catch before, and if he makes it it, "What a great call!! No one expected the FR TE to, y'know, actually catch a ball, that's why he was uncovered!! First down TN!! Josh Heupel is a freakin' genius"

except

no ball was caught, now Heupel's the biggest moron on the face of the planet

For the lack of a catch....

 

[LibertyVol]

I will be pulling for Oklahoma against Bama, Missouri, and LSU.

They will lose two of those.

 

[Creekcat]

SEC shorts should have a field day with this game.

 

[Volinnooga]

That's why he makes the big bucks, Hoss

And why you get to sit behind an anonymous keyboard, complaining about everything with no accountability to anyone.
hoss

 

[gr82batnvol]

As much as I think we will need to move in another direction at some point to have a shot at being elite, I don't have the faith in a better hire. And that to me is the sad part of the equation.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Just think…. If the blind ass refs had called OU for being in the neutral zone the scoop and score wouldn’t have happened. That was a huge screw up

Yeah it was, saw it before the ball was ever snapped. Sad out loud FREE PLAY!!
