Yeah I don’t know how you can go into Death Valley and dominate them but can’t go to Columbia, SC and do the same. I don’t want to hear excuses about the crowd. Just say you aren’t very good on defense. 38 points should be enough to win a football game.

None of them. You win some you lose some. We have already exceeded all expectations.

Up until 2016 when we beat Florida, the last time we had beaten them was exactly the year before I was hired. Even though I had tenure, I was always worried the administration would figure that out and fire everyone who was hired in 2005.

Man this one hurt!
What hurt more than losing was how we lost!
Guys acted out of character tonight.
We got hit in the mouth and didn’t respond very well.
We had a couple of guys more concerned about trash talking than actually playing ball.
We did not represent very well tonight.
We have to find a way to take advantage of these situations, because we may not be here again for a while.

Yep, it was brutal, pretty mind-boggling. Of course, the reason it’s so upsetting is because it’s been such a great year. Just wasn’t meant to be.

  • 1984 - Four days after his 20th birthday, Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden becomes the youngest player ever to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award. Gooden was 17-9 with a 2.60 ERA and a major league-leading 276 strikeouts.

  • 1985 - Don Mattingly easily wins the American League Most Valuable Player Award with a .324 average.

He batted .316 with 172 home runs and 579 RBI with the Rockies, including consecutive RBI crowns in 1996-1997. Another player who exploded after expansion in 1992, Jeff Conine, is dealt to Kansas City by the cost-cutting Marlins.

@mad4vols what is our World Cup schedule looking like today?
Once I get home from church, I’m gonna need some fun, mindless entertainment to take my mind off of last night!
I can’t watch the NFL, I don’t want to think about football today.
