Whoever brought up the loud music on the broadcast, thanks. I can't not hear it now. lol.

At least it’s not the Ying Yang Twins - Get Low

 

[IhateGA]

Maybe not wanting to show Florida too much game film?

Yeah, last 4 seasons of game film will not help

 

[BleedOrange81]

Lol

 

[Rocky Top T]

Won’t beat the Gators playing like this next week

We better hope the gators have quit. If not,we are in trouble

 

[SKV84]

So sloppy and no fire today. Now gonna have to play starters for majority of 2nd half. Sad.

 

[IndianaVol]

We are sloppy today. Unfocused, lost, not prepared.

Agree...we are winning this solely on talent level.

 

[Defaultuser]

Looks like an uninspired football team. We come out in the special uniforms the last two weeks and we just look uninspired and uninterested. I’m tired of the gimmicks. Just want to play hard and look like a well coached unit. We are playing like the crowd…..uninterested and not entertaining.

Uniforms have nothing to do with it. Stop being dumb.

 

[1allvol]

lol….we called a timeout to get one more running play in.

 

[Voltopia]

I do miss when Tennessee treated every play, even with seconds left in the clock, as a chance to go for the big score.

 

[MemphisVolFan1978]

21 points against New Mexico State in the first half. We scored 21 against Georgia in the first quarter.

 

[vader]

This team won’t be able to compete with Florida. They seem so out of zinc

Perhaps a multivitamin would help

 

[orangerush]

Well, that’s was like watching grass grow

 

[Frozevol]

It’s like his brain goes to mush under 2 mins.

One was kitselman had it taken a way. The other he let it sail because the oline is getting handled by NMst and he had a dude on him. That one was probably still more on him.

The Kit INT was a bad throw

 

[ChaplainVol]

I will believe it when I see it. He is so loyal to his staff kinda like fulmer..

He did this at UCF and was the major complaint against him. He seems to be a huge believer in staff stability, preferring to retain and promote from within rather than look for better outside the current staff. He never fired anyone for performance at UCF and has not here.

Think about that. Seven years as a HC and never fired a coordinator or positions coach? If you're filling the trophy cabinet, ok, but he's not.

 

[Vols919]

Appreciate the respect for the troops, but these might be the ugliest grays we've ever worn.

 

[patrick]

Not a sharp second quarter. I was hoping we'd put together a drive here to end the half.

You know Heupel has to establish the run. Just a ho-hum offensive performance. Offensive line getting whipped on too many plays. Defensive backs giving below average wide outs 10+ yd cushions and bailing on the snap. Banks can’t coach/teach zone defense.

But this is our football team this season - they are decent but haven’t beaten, and won’t beat a good team this year.

Next season will be interesting.

 

[GoVols64]

Sleepwalking today. Pathetic.

 

[FlVols]

run for the last play of the half

 

[Rickyvol77]

This is not "Tennessee Football", by any stretch. The effort is as ugly as the uniforms.

Starters should have been able to rest in the 2nd half. They will have to play.

See y'all tomorrow. I just can't watch this crapfest.

oh no......what will we do?

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Sleepwalking

 

[molsen81]

Ok, regroup.

 

[GhostVol]

Show the crowd... one little girl flapping a shaker

EVERY. BODY. ELSE. SITTING. ON. THEIR. HANDS.

Stop bringing in these f****g high school teams to beat up on

 

[patrick]

we should be pushing these guys around.

Should but haven’t. This is what you get when the coaches allow undisciplined play.
