Poor Sportsmanship?

[StickMan]

I'm so confused. We scored at the end?? What did I miss???

 

[StickMan]

As a competitor I would find it far more embarrassing when someone else gives up and goes easy on me.

Why do I need them to give me less than their all? What does that prove? And if people were openly calling for the other team to go easy, that's about the worst insult imaginable. Thank you for pointing out that I'm so totally inept that other people have to beg for my opponent to give up because I can't do anything to stop it.

Can't give this enough likes.

Grow up! Need to take a knee on the last play.............why score........what would that prove.

I don’t care one way the other but if I recall, I believe Iowa was still blitzing. If we scored or of we took a knee, I didn’t care one way the other personally.

Just like Spurrier used to say you don't want us to score 35 stop us at 28

 

[joevol33]

When Georgia or bama does it, "they're so good". When we do it, we're classless. I've even seen some alleged Tennessee fans who brag on Georgia, bash us. Goobers.

Obviously these commentators aren’t familiar with the old term, “It’s the defense job to stop them.”

You’re giving these young guys reps for next year.

What’s the big deal?

. These guys are in college. There’s no mercy rule and no room for snowflakes on a football field. What advantage is there for a team for the backups to only take a knee? Then, we let the clock run while on the 1 yard line anyway.

 

[cgrish]

Dude, come on. You know we should have taken a knee.

Maybe in this game ok. But during the seaon, no. Many of the rankings are determined by how much you beat a team. I agree with a big lead late in the game, u put in your 2's. But continue to play your regular offense.

 

[tnvolfan16]

i just chalk it up to one of the many goofy things heupel does at the end of games. not saying it is good or bad, its just he has done quite a few goofy things at ends of games

 

[vollygirl]

The game is 60 minutes.

 

[A2K]

You dont have to have good sportsmanship but if you dont comply Purdue will beat you..Its a business anymore...

 

[kptvol1]

Kneel play is to end a nail biter only, in my opinion.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Iowa is going to remember this and put up 7 points the next time they face us

I had to take a knee after reading this from laughing so hard.

 

[LeBleu]

Also, we couldn't "run out the clock". They still had their timeouts. And given how Iowa was playing, they might've taken them.

It wasn't till we got the final 1st down that we could run out the clock.

This and it's that simple, let's complain about a blow out. lol

 

[B81]

The goal is to win the game with your offense on the field. We did that

 

[Carl Pickens]

Dude, come on. You know we should have taken a knee.

BS…why handcuff the back ups that never get to play? FTK

 

[newyorkvol]

I wanted to see us score. Announcers were very excited to se the Iowa back up make big plays. And they went for it twice on fourth and long when they could’ve “conceded.” But they let their backups play. I was happy to see us letting our backups play and I think it was very classy of us to not to score that last TD.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

we didn’t bitch when Mizzu ran it up.

yeah we did, but we had no right to do so.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

63-3. Didn’t hear ****.

Yeah but that was Georgia.

Annnnnnnd, it allegedly validated the committee's choice to leave FSU out of the CFP. F 'em all.

 

[LTVol]

According to the pearl clutcher's handbook

In before “the analytics say you always try to score”!

 

[DaddyChad]

If we had a player seriously injured, the comments would be different.

If we had a third string player injured on a play? Back up qb with backup WRs in at the time.

Talking heads. They get paid to spew their opinion and say what they see..... Not develop a championship football program. There is a reason nobody is paying them millions to be a head coach. They are butthurt that Iowa lost and Vols dominated. They aren't considering that in one snap GM could be our qb and needs valuable reps.

Post of the day!

 

[DaddyChad]

I'm so confused. We scored at the end?? What did I miss???

We attempted to score with Moore in at the end. Iowa still had all their TOs as well. Once we got the first down we ran out the clock. Heupel gave Moore a few chances to have a moment in his last game as a Vol. People were very butt hurt that another TD might break the psyche of the Iowa football program.

 

[WeNeedaQB]

If those were my kids out there that had given everything for Tennessee football but never saw the field I would be hugging Coaches neck for giving them the opportunity to do something rather than kneel the ball. I am still pissed we weren’t able to score.

 

[newyorkvol]

Come to think of it, I actually still kinda pissed that heupel didn’t let navy shuler score against candy with his dad standing there on the sidelines.
