I hope they ditch country. Nothing about a country tune would get me amped for the 4th quarter. Instead it makes me want to kick my feet up with s beer on the porch.

It's thematically odd.

100%

Give the crowd something that makes them want to tear the roof off. Not go to bed early.

Someone posted his HS stats recently. Joe has not produced in the passing games his entire HS and college career. Frustrating, he looks like a beast, just doesn’t translate.

Thing is...I'm trying to think of the last superstar QB that "looked like a beast"

There's basically just Cam Newton...oh and Jared Lorenzen 👀

Give me Patty Mahomes or even Kyler Murray. A little squirt with an arm, legs, quick brain, and a quick trigger.

I agree. I just wish there was a song that was undoubtedly a song of, by and for Tennesseans that would make the crowd lose its mind.

"Stay Fly"
"Poppin My Collar"
"Sipppin on Some Syrup"

All done by Tennessee's greatest rap supergroup.

Or just find Justin Timberlake or Usher's best songs ☻️

Fight For Your Right To Party is very dated but very pertinent to the mission of what the 3rd-to-4th quarter transition should represent.

To the team: Win the game so we can all party. If lesser opponent, finish the game out so we can all party.

To the fans: you must continue being loud as hell to ensure the win, and thus, party.

The premise is simple -- if you want to party, you must win. If you want to win, you must fight. In turn, you must fight for your right to party.

So if we win 6-3 both games and Joe plays terribly we will love Joe for the wins.

Makes perfect sense.

And women don’t forget, they realize the pain is worth it for the gift of a child.

Not love, but not hate either.

JG had better stats than QBs the 15 year prior, minus 3 guys...and yet his team was awful and he was stuck with that...with the worst rushing attack in the SEC b2b years...poor defenses...AWFUL OLs getting him killed.

So there is some point to it. People tend to focus on team win/losses more than individual performance. But I agree they wouldn't love. But they wouldn't remember the same as if we went 4-8 scoring 20 pts a game either.

This is very instructive. Please TURN OFF THE SOUND and watch 3 times. That is exactly what you saw, and there was not a doubt in your mind that was flagrant uncalled defensive pass interference.

Now TURN ON THE SOUND and watch and listen. This is important. You will experience the exact moment that Gary "Bama" Danielson talked even most RF posters, not to mention the whole world, into completely ignoring the PI and turn the situation into an attack on Milton.

Danielson completely shirked his responsibility to focus on and call out the PI (here and elsewhere in our passing game). Danielson is the replay analyst.

Danielson created a false narrative. With respect to the blatant pass interference (which it was the responsibility of the replay analyst to explain, it was a complete impertinent whether a more perfect pass were possible. The pass was adequate and would have been caught without the flagrant uncalled foul. Consciously or unconsciously Danielson instead proceeded to overwrite the direct experience of his viewership with a criticism targeted at Milton. He did this regularly throughout the game.

Whether the resulting uproar on our board about Milton that Danielson launched leading into Bama week was a mere coincidence or a habit, or a desire of his own, one can't say with certainty. That he effectively covered for the officiating instead of thematizing it, as a competent and neutral analyst would have done, is beyond dispute.

My concern is how very many people in their posts in this forum I have seen repeating and elaborating at length on Danielson's anti-Tennessee and anti-Milton replacement for this (and other) game-changing calls. Remarkable people do this as if "recalling" "their own" experience of the game. Anyone and everyone who has replaced the primary issue of the grossly anti-Tennessee officiating and anti-Tennessee "analyst" commentary with their unconsciously imitative speeches about Milton has been Danielson-ized and had their memories tampered with.

And for anyone who wants to defend what "Bama" Danielson said (because they as viewers or rather hearers inadvertently permitted Danielson to cause themselves to believe that Danielson's speech was pertinent and in fact their own idea really needed to quietly perform the experiment I suggest. And calmly reflect on it, quietly and to themselves.

This is why television is so powerful.

As for Milton, if the game had been unbiasedly officiated, we would have had so large a lead that this negative "story" about Milton would be completely different. The offense would have been a great positive story, just like the defense. (To take one example: if not for the uncalled PI I am discussing, followed by another penalty moving us back, the play where Milton did not pick up the 4th and 2 on the scramble would never have occurred.

Considering also the similar, prominent uncalled PI in the endzone on a Milton pass. You will notice now that Danielson employed his same tactic there again of replacing the question of the blatant PI -- which wiped a TD off the board -- with an impertinent story about Milton's pass. The pass was adequate and the uncalled PI, not the pass, determined the outcome. In all likelihood we would have had 21 first quarter points.

Also note further -- and review some games from last year if this is not immediately evident to you -- the passes that Danielson was attacking Milton over on the two PIs that I am discussing were exactly like some passes that Hooker threw and completed last year. They were catchable passes made incomplete by cheating with impunity. The throw was not the fault. The SEC officiating and the coverup that Danielson sold were at fault.

As for Nico, we would have had so great a lead that Nico likely would have played and gotten SEC experience. The fault was the officiating, not Heupel's for not changing QBs, which latter is a false anti-Tennessee narrative, that is refuted by a close, circumspective look at the game replay.

FTR: I really like Joe. He's not losing games like JG did. I do get aggravated with some of JM's decisions. I truly believe if he can "just play" football and not try to think so much, we will win out this football season.
