Someone needs to make a .gif of Barnett slinging Thompson around like a rag doll.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

So whats the sack total for Barnett now? He had 2 or 3 sacks tonight.

Dobbs has Bray's arm, Worley's leadership and maturity, Tee Martin's mobility, and Casey Clausen's "Iceman" mentality.

And Whoopi Goldberg's eyebrows.

3 that I recall. He's a beast

Had to fyp
Tennessee is always the home team inside the state border :salute:

Excellent point. Considering what we've seen of those twelve Vandy fans this year, it's not a stretch to think it will be 85%+ orange.

I was at the 1998 Vandy game. I think that was the first year they started calling it Little Neyland. At least, that was the first time I remember hearing it. I'm not sure they have that high a percentage of orange at Tennessee home games. It was glorious.

So he has 8 sacks on the year now?

I love the flop he did after that, too. So dramatic.

Embarrassed to say that I turned the channel when SC went up 42 - 28.... Poured myself another whiskey drink turned on a movie and ate enough leftover Kit Kat Halloween candy to kill most men. Didn't realize the score until 15 minutes ago. I gave up, but I'm glad our guys didn't.

We forgive you. As hard as its been I remember when I was in high school during the 04-08 seasons and taking wins for granted. I left Neyland a couple of times when the game was solidly won.

I'd give a lot to have those times back so I could savor it more.

I've since resolved to stay to the bitter end. Even the pain of loss is better than taking it for granted...
Or in tonight's case the sweetness of victory.

3 tonight. 7 on the year I think

 

[UT = Checkmate]

The shear sadness on USCe boards make up for some of our pain. One post summed it up. 1:51 left up 14 and you still lose.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Man I'm pumped. I don't want to go to bed. Need to continue basking in the glory of this win.

I know that feeling. I thought I'd forgotten it!

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Now we need to focus hard to get the win vs. kentucky. The bye came at the perfect time. I agree with the person that said that our lack of defensive depth could be wearing down our front line guys.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Carolina might not go bowling this year. Their only sure win left is South Alabama. They go to UF and to Clemson.

 

[WallyBalls]

You know there are some people out there who went to bed when Wilds for that 70-yard run.

Imagine their shock tomorrow when someone at church asks them how about the Vols?? They're liable to just get plum mad thinking they're getting teased.

And then boom, they get a jubilant shock of excitement followed by anger at themselves for not experiencing it live. Ha!

I have a good friend that did just that. Got all pissy, sent a bunch of tweets out about poor/scared coaching and generally whining, then went to bed.

Our group text finally woke him up about 0130.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Anyone who says they weren't pissy when the VOLS were down two scores with a few minutes is not telling the truth. What a game!!

I admit I left the room in anger and disgust, but came back 10 seconds later.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

I hope we try to flip a couple of USCe recruits

He has 8.5 he had 5.5 before tonight.

 

[PassedOutAwake]

I just stumbled onto this..... ESPN hates us?

 

[kw3953]

Yahtzee!

Just noticed something else too. On Pig's TD (the reverse), I think he had the option to throw it. Wolf was running parallel with Pig, WIDE open in the endzone and was looking for the ball. Once Pig turned up, Wolf tried to block. Check it out at 1:24 in this video

[jman9865]

Anybody hear updates on North and Lane? I heard North was out due to a minor shoulder injury and Lane left the sideline on a cart. Anybody hear anything with a little more detail? Maybe an estimate of how long they'll be out or anything?

Yeah, when it was happening I was yelling for him to pass it. Then when he turned the other I was yelling for him to run faster.

Same here.
I think I said something about it in thread at the time, but I can't remember. So much happened after that play lol.
