Explain the first half domination? We choked across the board, players and coaches.

I'll take a shot----just my opinion though-----
I believe some of it has to do with conditioning. Since our offense is so fast paced, we have very few substitutions and I believe conditioning may come into play in the second half.

If you look at time of possession in our games, you should notice that our defense is on the field way longer than they should be. Conditioning comes into play here also.

One last factor regarding our fast-paced offense, the officials may just be plain ole tired and need some intermittent rest-----hence, the flags against us.

I gave it my best shot :p :p :p :p

They were drawing me in until they drafted Captain Mayo. Now I'm back to a man without a team, at least until Jerry Jones kicks the bucket. I'll just keep cheering on former Vols in the NFL.

So you watched the Titans play and that was actually drawing you in? Gotta be the most boring semi-successful team in the league over the last couple years. I’d put their games on when I needed a good nap.

Any Knicks or Celtics fans here? Paying these 2 guys what they make and they can’t even hit these props that were -350 and -700 respectfully…

Randle is a hit or miss..way inconsistent for me to bet on and I feel like brown has taken a back seat some since adding KP.I wouldn’t bet on him much going forward unless it’s like the playoffs or Tatum is slacking

You can blame it on Jon Robinson, who handcuffed this organization massively with bad contracts and no draft picks. Ownership fired him for his screw ups. Gotta give the new GM a chance while he’s being hamstrung from previous GM. (Kinda like how Heupel has been hamstrung by scholarship restrictions and ncaa investigation previously looming)

Y’all non-titans fans fail to realize that

Good point except the new GM drafted Will Levis after watching him play in college

At least as a Cowboys fan I can wait on the suspense of Dak throwing that game changing interception..

Glad someone said it!…I grew up watching Jeff fisher football and if you don’t know what that is count to 3 and multiply it by 5 That’s how many points we averaged and came away with a squeaker😂😂 titans don’t know what offense is

this entire dog and pony show is much ado about nothing.

Idk how you can call the biggest and most expansive CFB gameday cheating scandal in history "much ago about nothing".

Especially after it was revealed last night that Michigan aided another program to beat a potential CFB Playoff contender AND the Michigan program gave the employee a $15,000 travel budget.

Its much ado about nothing.

Tennessee paid players, which is now legal. And something happened, because its us.

Saturday's game is perfect microcosm of our larger issue. Players getting manhandled, yet we get called for a lber arm getting raised.

So, yes! I fervently, ardently, unequivocally stand by my comment. It is absolutely much ado about nothing. I despise the victim card, yet here we are.

Because its Michigan, and because we are Tennessee, and it impacted us. NOTHING, Nothing will happen punitively. NCAA would fine us 10,000,000.00 if roles were reversed.

And we would smile, bend over, and spread.

Just win.

If south carolina beat us something like 31-24 or something around what they beat Clemson like, then I wouldn’t think there was anything fishy going on, but something didn’t seem right with the UT/USCjr game last year

So the turmoil of Banks being disruptive in locker room..the week of game had nothing to do with the game...Banks even though a nut case was leader of the defense ..and was suspended and not allowed to play...

Even if nothing resulted from it, it’s not nothing. At the very least, it would erase the biggest black mark on Heupel’s short tenure so far at Tennessee. Who could hold it against him, at that point?

Many of you probably already know that I am a very good-looking man. Still, it is nice to get that validation from time to time. Just so you know, every time I go to the store, the cashiers are always checking me out.

Are you sure you're not going through the self checkout lane...

My hunch is that stealing defensive signals is not going to gain you much if anything (for ScJr). I remember watching the game and thinking Rattler couldn't miss on anything he threw. He threw dimes all night, and our D acted like they could not tackle anyone. It did fell "off" as you put it be Carolina had not come close to being that good all year long to that point.
