The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Doberman]

The refs were terrible. The defense was terrible. Coaching was terrible on the last drive. We got an L to show for it.

 

[chad954ut]

Vegas ringed up, tell me refs can't change the outcome of a game

 

[Vol865]

We deserved to lose and refs made sure we got what we deserved.

They more than did that. You breathe on one of their WRs and it's a penalty.

 

[Madscientistvol]

I don’t know about the rest of y’all but I’m done for the season. Can’t care about any of the remaining bowls or the playoffs.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Why did they not run the ball on first down before the sack is what i didn’t understand.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

I think we thought we were just gonna come in and drop 40 in the first half and the games over. Didn’t pan out. Hats off to Purdue

 

[CINCYVOL]

That last drive in regulation was horrible. All we needed was 10 more yards. Really, the game was lost there IMO

Two overthrown balls, those were good play calls.

 

[BreatheUT]

$hitty defense, $hitty 2nd quarter offense and dumb as play calling in OT.

 

[SkyVol]

BOYCOTT Music City Bowl from now on!!!!!

 

[UTK]

TN. Played. Terrible.

I hate it as much as anyone but we just did not execute tonight.

We didn't play our best game by any means. But come off of it. If the refs were competent we would of won by multiple scores.

 

[DrTNT]

That was hands down the worst officiating crew ever assembled.

 

[I Love Lamp]

If I am Tennessee and I get a late hit penalty going forward I raise hell and say the whistle is irrelevant.

 

[Fyshy]

This coaching staff looks no better than the last 3 after this game. Pissed away a great year with inability to handle the clock and play calls.

Correct

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Forfeit then. UT's track record is awful.

You don’t have to forfeit. Just say no thanks.

 

[Volsfannn]

Terrible coaching last night & tonight. Boys, you gotta get better.

Terrible play calling in the ole miss, Bama, pitt, and this game one cost UT victories.

 

[Boston Vol]

Stop crying our defense is ****. Our offense doesnt ever score in 2nd quarter. We r not good team we are just an ok team

Yea the defense sucks. What does that have to do with the horrendous call that we all just witnessed?

 

[Vol4life2]

Lol.

This is what you get when you hire a mid major coach who doesn’t give a shyte about defense.

Heupel just another coach - Decent coach but not great. Sad sad sad.

Best we have had in years! Better players better results.

 

[kxtop]

What a screwjob from the refs

Maybe the worst call I have ever seen in a bowl game! Total screwing! Forward progress had not stopped, he was still moving his legs!! Unf@$king believable

 

[Megatron88]

Because the O-line for the most part was complete garbage all night.

True ....

 

[Rickyvol77]

Should have never went for it. You kick the fg and let your defense win or lose

Except he scored a f******* TD

 

[mpfvol]

I hope these refs get explosive diarrhea tonight

I hope they get Chlamydia

 

[Memphisvol87]

Frustrating to watch but we had a td there and regardless of our deficiencies we played till
The end

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Stop crying our defense is ****. Our offense doesnt ever score in 2nd quarter. We r not good team we are just an ok team

Go home. we are rebuilding from the debacle last year. Who said we were elite this year? we were overjoyed to finish bowl eligible.

 

[Voltopia]

I am never touching the Music City Bowl again. Screw that bowl, screw that game. They can shove off.

 

[Spider2yBanana]

Send it to rhr ACC officials office

Alrighty....I thought we had ACC officials in this---the wife Googles Purdue and says they're in the Big Ten.
Lesson: don't listen to the wife.
