As bad as Milton’s final play was, his endzone pass was nearly perfect and should have been caught for the win.

I miss Callaway and Palmer

95% of the people in here ( if not more) do not even know what you said.

I knew..

We win last Saturday if Tillman jumps more than 3" off the ground on that second to last play.

We win last Saturday if Lane doesn't have his guys fake a ton of injuries thus killing the advantage of tempo. TN had 2 back to back good drives before the injury garbage started in abundance. And was driving for a third.

I love my TCL..it looks pretty dang good, it works well with the built in Roku, and best of all..it was really cheap, so if someone breaks in and steals it like they did my expensive 5 month old Samsung, it won't won't hurt very much...it will not take much to replace it.

Yeah I have bought a few cheap TVs like a hi sense and really can’t tell much of a difference between it and the really expensive TVs that I have bought.

Jennings 100% brings that ball down Tillman missed. Tillman has played great so I'm not going to tear him down for it, but dang man, it was right there.

We had 3 guys that made 50/50 balls closer to 75/25 balls. Wish we had a guy like that right now.

WR got 3 full inches in his vertical

It looked like my son as a soccer goalie…. Coach yells at him to jump and Im thinking….. he did jump…… can’t fit a blade of grass between his foot and the ground.

We win last Saturday if we had Cade and Evans. You'll never convince me otherwise. Davis single handily costed us multiple possessions. That OL we were forced to play changed play calling as well.

Injuries are inevitable..I said that when making my prediction before the season...I was wrong though, I said we would be lucky to go 4-8 with significant injury problems...instead we are headed for 6-6 with two massive blowouts of SEC east rivals and being more than just "competitive" in our losses.

That is all I needed to prove to me that Heupel and staff are up to rebuilding this program.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I said 4-8 or 5-7 before the season and it's going to take a serious screwup not to get 6-6, so while I tried to mentally prepare myself by saying anything else was gravy, I still hate that we were just fingertips from winning a game against a top 15 team where we really were not at our best. Argh, it would have been such a great moment.

we will run tiyon to south alabama and Vandy to a Bowl Game. to come back from what I saw last year. Please rememer how bad we bace been against mwdiocre or even ranked team.

Wasn’t Davis hyped up in the preseason?

our best receiver is a bargain find. Kid will play in the league.

Brother, here are my quotes showing all I asked, leading up to this game.
Trust me, I suck at predicting what will happen in sports. When even I feel it coming, it's sickening.

Need Evans to play, regardless of outcome.
Anything but another coulda/woulda/shoulda big time game due to 1 bad ____ . Already been thinking about the Oklahoma game, all week. If Evans missed and we lost by like 1 score, I'd be sick.

Better yet, how about we stop being the *almost an upsest, kings and start a new tradition. How about winning these games when they're right there for the taking!

It's frustrating. I'm ok losing to a better team but man, I hope we don't beat ourselves - (with help from the refs).
That's the stuff I hate to see.

You could make an entire 30 for 30 episode solely on the number of times the refs decided the outcome of TN games.

Of course my TV wouldn't make thru in 1 piece. It be cracked by the FL no catch. Lose color during Kiffin/Vandy and completely destroyed during the 2019 Bama - roughing the passer/"TN was gonna catch the tide off guard, so I blew the whistle" game.

I can tell a difference between my TCL and my Samsung...but it sure as heck ain't a thousand dollar difference. I have bad eyesight anyway..lol..

I think they should do promotion/relegation for officials. You grade out badly, you get sent to to G5 games. Keep screwing up? Go down to FCS. And so on in that manner until you grade out better.

It’s really a travesty that officiating is handled by the conferences.

Agreed the profession as a whole should be a tier system or unionized maybe.

NFL = highest paid but the best of the best
NCAA: P5 next highest, G5 a step down, FCS another step down, and so on

You want to make the most money you work your tail off and try to be great at it and then you get that sweet NFL gig. But leaving the door open to relegate NFL officials who suck back down to college (to work more games for less pay) would be a good incentive to keep them sharp.

I'd also make the rules uniform from college to the NFL cause why is the same sport played differently?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

What do you mean by closing down?

I could be very wrong but we have our remaining targets and commits that we’ll close with and leave space for portal folks. I don’t anticipate seeing many new names for 22 adding to the list but some type of close with Thomas, Harrison, Caldwell, and Jones.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Rawb and Brent lambasting the SEC. How expensive is it to get the camera NFL uses for 1st down marker?

Maybe but, the ball was also tipped ever so lightly right as it got there. That could have had something to do with it. I would have loved to have that TD but we wouldn’t have needed it if we weren’t screwed on the scoop and score or if we hadn’t missed a Field goal earlier.

WTH are you saying here Jack? This is the text equivalent of Orge's speaking..

It’s a different topic, but I would be in favor of the NFL’s running clock and 2 minute warnings.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

That camera on the first down run from Josh Allen last night was great. We need that everywhere

They had Davis starting at LT lmao. I'm assuming it was to make Darnell work harder.

 

[Nuctech777]

I miss Callaway and Palmer

And Jennings…

Strike one with Milton
Strike two with Davis

Seems to me if I'm the NFL I'd be for it, why wouldn't you want your future employees to have 3 years of training in a similar environment?
