[1974Vol]

Gator Nation is imploding

I would just keep hitting "Like" you know until dawn or so if I could. lol

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Is this Alontae Taylor hurting his knee after the pick six

lol

 

[MAD]

Texas getting destroyed by Iowa State that always gives me a smile

Got to love it….
Texas was up 7-3
Lose 7-30

 

[VOLnMiami]

At least we beat them in Knoxville back then.

No We didn't...We lost to them 43-30 in 1984...I was there and it was a hell of a game.

 

[1985Vols]

Wish we played Florida in November

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Glad to get the win. Didn't see a "shootout" coming. Could have gone either way. UK did more than enough to win. Defense remains a work in progress.

7-5 is within reach. Anyone with a room temperature IQ would have taken 5 wins with this depleted and defeated roster. So to be where we are now, and with 7 wins being likely is a huge accomplishment for this staff. Yes, we have to play better defense, but the future is bright for UT Football for the first time in a long time.

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch...we beat UK in Lexington when they had everything to play for; were favored; and were ranked. My, how times have changed. And we won. So I take solace in the fact that while the Cat fans who crap in the VN litterboxes may...and likely will...offer every excuse as to why UK lost...in the end, UK was weighed, measured, and found wanting.

UK has peaked. UT is ascending. Tonight likely begins another 20+ stretch of wins against UK. Has to hurt that it started in Lexington.

Go Vols.

I must have been looking at the wrong page LMAO

 

[Flathead75]

I hope to never see the prevent defense again! 4 th and 24 pass was inexcusable! The QB folded when we pressured him and finally that won the game.

 

[kcvols1]

WORD. Although being at the game 5 World Series loss was only fun for an inning.

You DID attend a World Series, though!

I’ll bet the pregame was lit.

 

[MAD]

That field goal to end the half turned out to be huge.

 

[KoachKrab127]

No We didn't...We lost to them 43-30 in 1984...I was there and it was a hell of a game.

We destroyed them in 1990 and 1992. The 1992 Florida monsoon is the first ever UT game I remember watching.

 

[Vol8188]

The execution on that was phenomenal. This staff makes a lot of things we’ve seen this team struggle with for years, look effortless

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

We are headed in the right direction but I want to beat those mutts and we have the offense to play with them

I've watched about 5 of their games this year, I'm not optimistic we'll be able to block them but you never know. Regardless of what happens next week though, the road is paved for a 7-5 regular season, which is a really excellent year 1.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Finally some pressure and you see what it did. Been screaming at the TV all game and finally did it

Looks like coaches should see that too.

 

[Coug]

Glad In a way that KY converted that 4th and 24. Now KY can’t whine about the missed face mask call

This! I was going to post this also. It’s still sad we let them convert that 4 and 24 though.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Can’t say I like this. Win with class and humility, gentlemen.

 

[garry123]

I'm still salty about losing to them in 1985.

We won the 1985 game 42-0 That started the streak. I was at that game

 

[nomads-11]

On the same day Walter Nolan commits to A&M ..

Meh, you gotta do you....maybe he had a strong draw there, who knows. Good for him.....but I wouldn't expect much hardware at A&M though. So he better be there for the comraderie and environment.

 

[LadyinOrange]

Can't wait for A View From Big Ben!

 

[KoachKrab127]

Can’t say I like this. Win with class and humility, gentlemen.

I would love that if it were against Bama or Florida. I don’t really care for it against UK though.

 

[Volizona]

Levis is a f’in crybaby

Come on. The kid competed hard and was very passionate. After he shed his tears he went over and shook hands with UT players. The refs screwed them over for sure. I am thrilled that we won but take away the missed face mask and the 15 yard penalty and it could have been a different outcome. We tried hard to give it away but hung on. Wish we could have found a way to score from the 5 and end the game but it is what it is. Great to get a win in a close game but I understand why their QB was upset.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

I’ll bet the pregame was lit.

It was and that place was on ABSOLUTE TILT when Duval grannied in the first! Was an awesome experience but I kinda like how it shook out. I enjoyed watching them go back to Houston and rip the heart straight out of the chests of the garbage can bangers.

Next week is going to be extremely ugly unless UGA completely implodes which isn’t going to happen

honestly….what’s wrong with taking a photo? They weren’t stomping on the logo or anything.

 

[MiramarVol]

Let KY know we'll cut the lights out on the field on our way out. No need to hang around listening to the boys singing in the locker room.
