Made the trip from Dayton, Ohio for the game and just arrived back home an hour ago.
1). It was hot as blue blazes in Neyland today. Have no idea what the on field temp was but it had to effect both teams adversely. Heck while tailgating at 8am it was ungodly hot.
2). The offense came out looking fly. They continued to look that way until mistakes, penalties, and game delays for the SEC network sucked out all momentum. This team does not handle the tv timeouts well. BTW, why do the refs keep our boys from playing fast? Watching other games the boys get to the line and go. The refs stood over center today most of the time. The delays were excruciating!
3). The injuries were devastating.
4). The demeanor of our team leaves a lot to be desired. A high school football coach seated behind us in the oven up in AA mentioned time and again how our boys were "riding" their talent as if they didn't have to try very hard.
5). Pride of the Southland Band was off the charts great today. Love the entrance into the stadium from the bridge.
6). Getting to the upper areas of Neyland is incredibly difficult!
7). Gameday at Neyland is always awesome nonetheless.
8). Ohio U could've won that game and that makes our boys not ready for prime time IMO. NOT QUITE TOP 25 material.
9). Like many of you, to me the play calling is abysmal, on both sides of the ball.
10). Next week's game could be ugly. Let's hope not.
