It was a really good game. Heisman implications, potential playoff implications, back and forth action, high scoring game, records were broken, last second kick, Good guys won, Shield-Watkins was stormed, girls were punched, Dixieland delight, traitors cried, goal posts were thrown in the Tennessee River. That same river has risen a foot since that day due to all the Bama tears.

BTW, have gotten several glares but also a few “good games” from Bammers. This fellas parents and big brother are already Vols, so we just added one more to The Big Orange Flock.
GBO!
What Volnation did for Ziegler was incredible taking care of one of their own. What Volnation has done for the kid from UT Martin is other worldly. This fan base is the best in the country and no one will change my mind.
Prayes sent.My brother has Alzheimer’s. He was diagnosed at age 52. That is not a typo. 52. If to say it has worried me that I might get diagnosed is an understatement. He just turned 57 and I’m 52. In 5 years it has devastated his short term memory, lost his job and now on disability. Just a terrible disease that is heartbreaking watching their downward spiral. Words can’t explain.
When I came back from injury, I was used in the bullpen and in non tense moments where the game didn't need to be decided. It helped my confidence and helped me get over the mental hurdle with no fear of hurting my team. After a week in the pen I was starting again and back to normal.There's no real reason to put Tillman out there this week. The risks outweigh the benefits. We have plenty of firepower to win this game without him. Why put him out there and risk reaggravating the injury against an opponent you don't need him for? Better to save him for KY and the back half of the schedule.
Two very different sports, and we have no idea how "recovered" Tillman is. I know we all enjoy armchair coaching on here, but I'm gonna trust the coaches on this one. Maybe they surprise us, and Tillman does see a little action today. But I'm also okay if he sits out to next week. He can still be eased in against KY because he doesn't have to be the primary target with Bru and Hyatt out there.When I came back from injury, I was used in the bullpen and in non tense moments where the game didn't need to be decided.

Our coaches have proven that they won't rush a guy back for it is time. They have earned our trust.Two very different sports, and we have no idea how "recovered" Tillman is.

I think he came in as a FB/LB recruit. He was switched to TB and he was the definition of a bruiser.WOW!

was over two possessions, which I didn't even think about. Pretty neat, he finished that season with just 177 carries, but lead the SEC in scoring.
