My prediction: LVs 74 Bama 52.

Just wanted to remind you........SUPER stretch goal for this team is the round of 16.....

i see you’re back after a loss. would be lying if i was to say i’m surprised.

 

[I4Vols]

Good ole walker.

The lack of a functional point guard to lead an offense on any team is a killer

 

[JohnnyPayne]

WHY WAS SHE EVEN IN? I quit watching the game….were we coming back or something?

That’s unfair. Yes we were trying to come back. Prayers for Jordan.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

It didn't look good when I saw it live....hope I'm wrong and didn't see what it looked like.

If she's out for the season that ends their season even earlier. Without her against SC, a 40 point loss looks likely unless Dawn is nice.

More worried about Jordy right now than a loss... which no will not look pretty

I am hoping that the girl who jumped on Jordy just caused a stinger

 

[casetopia]

That bama coach has beaten us a lot lately.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Sundays game is going to be like watching a car wreck. It will be so bad that you won't be able to look away.

Therapeutic alternative, casetopia. Hang tough, VFLs.

Well I hope I’m wrong, but if Horston is out for the rest of the year, it’s going to be tough to see us going as far, but the team better not be in a pity party for too long. They gotta grow up and fight, just like the Lady Vols did in 2008 Championship game when Vicki Baugh went down with an ACL year. Just like when the Lady Vols found out Coach Summitt has dementia. Fight Lady Vols! Effort cannot be taught, and is not an option not to bring to every single game!

Yes!

Well, it looked like TN was coming back in the 4th. Why not play with this intensity earlier? Anyway, besides that, I hope Horston is not seriously injured. And...I really like Tamari Key. She seems like a gentle giant. I don't know anything about her, but seems to have a quiet personality, and just needs some good post coaching. It's hard to know what to do with that size with little help from her teammates. My point is, that she seems like a real nice person. Kinda like I feel about Boston, ONO, Jones...not that I have ANY idea if I'm right or not.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

I love my LVs but might take a break from watching for a while (probably not) lol

My heart goes out to Jordy im hoping for the best

I'm out ... i'm sure the "fun" posts are coming but seriously i hope even they are sending up prayers for jordy

 

[casetopia]

That was as much fun as my last root canal.

 

[Coach Jumper]

That bama coach has beaten us a lot lately.

she's got our number

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This team is done.

The team has been in a pity party since Green’s injury. I don’t see it changing.

I get more excited than I should when my team goes into a 3-9 SEC team and does not want to play. There is no getting around it. We stunk the place up. Acted like we wanted to play a little in 4th, but way too late and way too little. Also, probably lost our best player. If they had been playing at all, there would not have been the panic which resulted in Horston getting hurt. Awful, awful game. When we tought it could not get worse, they set out to prove to us that they could lay down with the best of them.

 

[glv98]

Poor Jordan H. Prayers for her. I sure hope that wasn't what it looked like.

Everything sucked, but none of it matters as much right now. I'm encouraged they let her walk off the floor, but I'm afraid the blow up cast is a very, very bad sign.

 

[JCP201]

I have decided we have an SEC-plus curse. I wish we had started that defense earlier. Losing Horston is bad. Just not much good right before the SC game.

There was no fight in this team tonight. I didn't want to see it at first, but as the game went on I had to admit it. It reflects poorly on the coach when the team waits til they are 20 points back in the fourth quarter. Even if Jordy is not going to lose playing time going forward, this team is standing on the precipice and losing it's balance. What we saw tonite was really, really bad. There's no getting around it.

me too,,,until next game

They were never going to come back from 20 down in 6 minutes.

 

[casetopia]

When you can't win at Auburn or Alabama you got some major issues going on.

 

[volforlife10]

the loss does not matter right now. the only thing that matters is jordan horston. she’s our staple. prayers for her.
