The Official Tennessee @ #1 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

[firestorm]

Bring your cigars to Neyland next year. We will win.

That's writing a big check.
I'm not saying that can't happen, just saying the Volunteers would need to finally play the full great game.

 

[amorange]

I am NOT ok with how CJP just grabbed Guarantano ......

Well screw you. He should have kicked his ass to the locker room

 

[FranklinVFL]

No, the bad play by Darrell Taylor that changed the game.

Borderline call at best. If it would have happened in reverse, guarantee it would not have been called.

No, the bad play by Darrell Taylor that changed the game.

What did he do that was wrong?

 

[Memphisvol87]

Actually it was set up very well, 2 runs up the middle and then was supposed to be handed off to running back running left, and trey smith blocked his man and a huge running lane was there
if it had been handed off to the rb a td for tn. instead jg ran the wrong play. That's why pruitt was so upset with jg[/QUOTE
Agree and we had crouch in, really wanted to see him pound the rock.

 

[johnsonbrewer]

Anybody see if the refs lit up cigars too??

Even ESPN announcers have cigars for Bama. If that isn’t a highlight for bias then I don’t know what is.

 

[Longhorn Vol]

Moral victory anyone?

I don't mean to brag but we're the best daMn 2-5 team in college football.

Amen my friend

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Game was winnable if not for the BS roughing call on Taylor, and JG with the worst decision I’ve seen in organized football in a long while.

Could've done without the predictable run plays at the end too. Jet-sweep maybe? I mean, a freaking yard at 4th and goal! I never expected to get as close as we did, but JG f****** blew it! Again! Why am I surprised? Oh wait, I'm not.

 

[37620VOL]

From the looks of JG on his bike, he knows he will never play another down at TN.

That wasn't jg.

 

[Smokeyone]

No, the bad play by Darrell Taylor that changed the game.

That's a no call against anyone else. The zebras were almost as bad as gitmo.

 

[KBVol]

Yup. We need Mauer the second half of the season. We can still make some noise before we are done

We need him, but there’s ZERO chance he’s healthy enough to play more than a series here and there before leaving the remaining games....if he’s even cleared to play in any of them. Can’t count on this kid, JG is trash and Shrout ain’t close to ready. We’re screwed at QB.

I’ve been saying “slow your roll on Harrison Bailey” for months. However, it’s clear that he better come in as a true freshman and be the savior at QB next year or we’re screwed again.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Hell im used to losing so I feel the same as I did before watching the game

 

[golfballs]

This game has been the most infuriating that I can remember in a while.

 

[cgrish]

You have time to work

While JG is awful, Shrout was horrible in the 10-15 plays he ran in the other game. I get the give him a chance mentality especially after that.

But we need to bring in some players first and foremost.

with Shrout you don't with jg. give shrout a chance

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Going out on a limb here. This is not the first pole this guy has smoked!

 

[schmalfungus]

From the looks of JG on his bike, he knows he will never play another down at TN.

That wasn’t JG on the bike that was Alonte Taylor

 

[90 Vol]

PS. I hate Bama. Hope they lose every game left.

Dont hate the people, just the football part. Go Vols

You’ve never been to Alabama have you?

 

[orangerush]

The refs screwed us majorly. Guaranteed they changed the outcome of this game.

They impacted the game more than they should

 

[alavolfan]

Hurts so bad to think about this.

Actually it was better than l thought. These boys came to play tonight!! Proud of their effort!

 

[njvols]

From the looks of JG on his bike, he knows he will never play another down at TN.

If that were JG

 

[Valencia]

CJP needs to send JG out for the players’ postgame...throw his ass to the wolves, haha

I thought it was albino ellen

 

[tim]

A lot if us, including me, thought CJP would roll out a vanilla game plan to live to the next game. We were a few breaks away from the unthinkable. Happy to see that and proud to see the team pushing after the set backs they’ve had.

 

[pharmDvol11]

WTF JG, if he went rogue he’s a selfish prick

He did and he is. I’m telling you guys JG is THE guy that deserves the blame. The coaches have tried and tried with this guy and he ain’t even QB material. He needs to move to WR or water boy

 

[alavolfan]

Exactly. Even the announcers called it right. Trey pancaked his man, it was supposed to be a run to the left.

he would have scored.
