Proving my point. No class.

That was pure class on the field and I am not young.

Proving my point. No class.

To quote cam Newton, "If you want us to stop dancing then stop us from scoring."

The classless thing is such a meaningless insult. It's not our fault they couldn't stop our backups. The 2nd string deserves to play the offense too.

 

[chatt.vol]

Kirby didn't.

Cough cough 55-0 against Vanderbilt Cough.

 

[Smallvol#1]

I think it’s coaching malpractice to get a lead then put in your back ups and not run your offense. Why would you waste teaching opportunities just because the other team can’t stop your second team. Our second team goes through all the same training as the starters. Why would we deny them their opportunity to show their talent because you might hurt the loser’s feelings?

You don’t call a good dog back. Just so happens our second string has a bunch of good dogs and they hunted today. Comme ci comme ca.

How many times has Tennessee had their rear ends kicked in a similar situation over the last twenty years? I specifically recall Urban Meyer letting Cam Newton score a meaningless touchdown in a 59-20 blowout in 2007.

Everyone hated TN in the 90’s when we dominated. Everyone hated TN when we struggled or outright sucked the last 15 years. We turn the corner this season and rip off 8 straight wins, everyone loved TN surprisingly but that was just an head fake until we got beat by GA. After that we were “overrated” and they all hate TN again.

So it really doesn’t matter what we do, most of college football teams, fans and media will always hate TN, and I gotta say…I love it. They can all EAD. Go Vols!

Cough cough 59-0 against Vanderbilt Cough.

I was replying to the post that everybody does it to Tennessee, not arguing that it's wrong to do it.

The game lasts 60 minutes, play until the final whistle. Backups deserve the same chance as the starters to run the full package and score. However, there is merit to limiting your team's exposure to injury by dialing it down and running out the clock to avoid unnecessary contact when you have the game in hand. Why put your #1 receiver in the game up 35 points when even a high school defense can take out a knee?

Absolutely no judgment from me here. I understand fighting for the post-season against the unpredictable, subjectiveness of the CFP. Frankly, I always hated how Richt would shut things down and not deliver the final blow.

 

[Honky]

There is a reason we ran up the score …

Josh Heupel uses the scoreboard to answer Eli Drinkwitz’s offseason comments

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Wow. I’m bleeding all over the floor.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Well, maybe Beamer will keep his mouth shut this week……

 

[LeBleu]

#7. Carry the fight to ( ) and and keep it there for 60 MINUTES - Gen. Neyland

 

[orangerush]

Vols score again, hold my beer Drinkwitz.

 

[PickleRickBarnes]

Can’t disagree

When it’s backups playing against starters all goes.

you don’t want your starters for next year actually running the offense instead of just handing off?

They were still running their defense and their HC shouldn’t have run his mouth. This is not Highschool these guys are getting paid now.
Stop them if you don’t like it

 

[LTVol]

Tennessee is classless for running it up on Mizzou.

Nah, Mizzou couldn’t stop us!

Lou Holtz once told story of losing a game badly to Bobbie Bowden, and during after game hand shake he complained to BB about his running up the score. Bowden responded, if you don't like it, then recruit better so you can stop is!

Went to the 247 team boards. UK is rather sad. They basically feel like the Stoops regime has run its course and that he's not bringing the intensity that he displayed when he first got there. The one funny part is their return to the "Oh well, it doesn't matter, basketball season is here and that's all we really care about" mentality.

Alabama is strange. I expected some negativity but generally they are thrilled with the win and talking like they are still int he running for the NC.

 

[LTVol]

He should have told him "ill do it again. In Columbia."

Just like last year!

 

[YankeeVol]

Can’t disagree

Run your mouth, pay the price.

Ky fans couldn't possibly be saying that, cause Stoops already disagreed with Calipari saying theyre a basketball school.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

You don't like it. Stop them.

Deon Sanders approves your post.

 

[LTVol]

Beamer is an idiot, he's a 7 figure cheerleader

Hes all hat and no cattle, and about to be exposed as such next week, like Drink and Stoops were today

 

[WoodsmanVol]

TBH, I'm a bit mixed about Heupel running up the score like that.

Remember the Florida game.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

didnt rece davis say Oregon lost to Georgia was same as vols loss to Georgia...be interesting to see if they say the same about common opponents

That is asinine. Oregon lost by 46 on a neutral field, still in GA, but still not Sanford Stadium. We lost by 14 in the rain at Sanford. They are not the same.

 

[LTVol]

Those throws will give Milton a lot of confidence next year…. Or this year if needed.

And that's the whole point.

 

[FranklinVFL]

1. It was out backups. They deserve to play and get real-game experience when they can.

2. Mizzou coach should just keep his mouth shut

3. It is the defense’s job to stop the offense.

4. See #2.

Personally, I think kneeling on a ball shouldn’t even a part of football. What’s wrong with two teams playing until the end of the game? I promise you, I couldn’t care less if a team is winning on the other side and they don’t kneel on it. I’m of the mindset, if you don’t like it, stop it. Coaches take those opportunities to coach.
