Anyone else think that was low class with 9 minutes to go and up by 35. I think I know the answer.

Paul Johnson should line 11 guys on the line and say "I don't care if you give up a TD or get a penalty, go get the QB no matter what"

Miles must have just got word about Orgeron...

No, wait... he's always been like that.

Theres a difference in running a fake punt with a big lead, and trying to break the rules to kill a helpless QB.

Either way, it's not big deal IMO. It's bowl season, it's all about completely dominating, making your conference look good, and getting a better spot for next year.

Sure a 35-3 win looks good when they're looking to rank teams next year, but a 42-3 or 45-3 looks even better.

It will come back to haunt them eventually. Not in this game, but hopefully next year.

That was a horrible call on the fumble GT ran back though. His arm was clearly NOT going foward. Instead of 35-10 it was 38-3... not that it made a whole lot of a difference but it was still in the 3rd quarter.

It's the last game of the season with a new QB, I think it's fine. It's GT's job to play defense. Grow a set girls.......

Class? Why have mercy? score as much as you can. It's a new QB. Get him all the reps he sees fit. "It's not my job to make you feel better about yourself." That fits in football.

Bush? Like I said. you coach your team and I would coach mine. If I can hang 60 on you, I will EVERY time. You go home and be mad.

Well different strokes for different folks.

It's classless though.

Yep, in the end, we all have to eat our own cooking.

So will Les Miles. It was a bush league call against an outclassed opponent. There's no pride, or honor, in humiliating your opponent.

Urban, are you listening?

Level the field, Lane. Make 'em pay.

Go Vols.

Then you'll be okay with it when another team hangs 60 on you?

Being a man is more than age, or education. Words like honor, integrity, and compassion, factor in.

Oh, and "sportsmanship".

Go Vols.

General Neyland's 7 Maxims
1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.
2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.
3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.
4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.
5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.
6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.
7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

One could argue......
