So it's really not a read option, it's a hand off

Well yeah. We ran inside zone without an option for Worley to keep.

Imperative that we keep Worley healthy if we have any shot at 7-5 or better.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Again, who gives a damn how desperate we look to anybody outside of our program and our fan base? Win games, have fun, **** everybody else.

Absolutely. Freak can we get this post stickied? I love it! Screw everybody else.

Totally agree. I wouldn't run another zone read all year.

Um. Program image is quite important, especially in recruiting. Would you genuinely say beating UF next weekend is a huge accomplishment and a game we should lose?

We haven't beat UF in a while, but this UF team isn't that talented.

While you may not care what others think, the truth is everyone sort of does. Whether you think it's a good idea or not you do sort of care.

Also when we are good enough to make the playoffs in the near future will you not care what others think then? When the future is in THEIR hands whether we get to compete for a national championship? What about if we are in a 3-way tie for the sec east and the tiebreaker is BCS rankings? Will you not care what those BCS voters think? Eff them right?

It's not that big of a deal really, but everything matters. Even something as small as losing by 3 instead of 10 today may matter in BCS voting for a top 25 ranking if we go 8-4.

Because we're really having trouble with the whole recruiting thing. And with the way things have been going, any SEC win is a thing to celebrate.

Win games.

No, I don't. My first statement of win games makes other people's perception of our program inconsequential.

Yes, eff them. Win games, the rest won't matter.

That sentence just makes my head hurt.

Anyway, this all started with a mostly tongue in cheek post about the ridiculousness of people caring about how people choose to celebrate a hypothetical victory that hasn't even happened yet. If a bunch of students want to run out of the field because we beat UF next weekend because it's ****ing fun, then have at it. They're in college, they're supposed to do crazy, stupid ****.

I disagree. Guess this argument is over lol.

Beating UF should be the norm, not a rush the field moment. And IMO everything matters. From perception, to the eye test, to record, to atmosphere. Everything is relative IMO. To you, it's not and that's okay. Opinions differ

While this might be true, this fan base is about ready to explode for a big moment! Beating a team that's won 9 in a row is a big moment, no matter what they have looked like this year. They are every bit as talented as we are, just like Dooley's last team...but the coaching seems it might be a little bit of a train wreck. It also seems that Champ might be losing the confidence of his team, like Dooley. That causes division in the locker room. Poor chemistry is a bad thing.

Would it be nice to beat Florida and wait to rush the field when we upset Bama? Absolutely! But we aren't guaranteed that happens. If we beat Florida, it might be the only big moment chance we have this year to unleash our frustrations. Just saying...but understand your viewpoint as well.

I just want to win!!! Don't care what happens afterwards!

We don't need to rush the field versus Bama dude. We are Tennessee not damn Kentucky

Whatever BB. Be a little bit realistic as to where this program has been and what it has gone through. Should we expect to beat the Bamas and Floridas? 10 to 15 years ago, the answer would be absolutely! For the past 10 years, especially the last five years, this program has gone through the crapper to the point that beating those teams has not been an expectation but a hope. It is just where this program has been and is currently… And that is a fact! Upsetting Bama in Neyland, no matter if you want to admit it or not, would be a monumental win and huge stepping stone for our program. And it would be deserving of our Fanbase rushing the field to show our players how big it is!

I agree with everything you are saying but isn't rushing the field a big no no now? Huge fines and stuff?

Just 50k. I think the real thing to be worried about is field conditions. I'm an auburn student, and I've heard that the reason the administration let the field rush happen after the iron bowl and not get everyone off the field ASAP was because there wouldn't be anymore home games. The playing surface was absolutely trashed after it, and if they had to play a home game a week later it wouldn't have been easy to get it back into shape. Hell, the shrubs weren't completely regrown by the spring game

 

[RockyTop1384]

Was at the game. Happy w/ a lot of what I saw on both sides of the ball. No team or coach will execute a perfect game. Came down to the two botched handoffs, one that likely took at least 3 pts off the board for us & the other put 7 on the board for them. Peterman's series hurt us also.

UGA fans at ATL airport this morning not feeling great about win. Recognize they escaped defeat.

If Worley is healthy anything less than a win v Florida will be a disappointment.

Beating UF hasn't been the norm for almost a decade though

 

[LotteryPick]

What I was going to say.

 

[Specs]

Do it

Rush the field

Tear em down

March them through Cumberland

Throw em in the river

10 years...10 ****ing years

 

[Wickman]

Personally, IDGAF if we tear down the goal post or not. If we beat UF, I'll tear down my living room

So we should rush the field just because they are UF? Did Vandy rush the field when they beat us Dooley's last year?

To me it's simple. One question. Should you even have had a chance to win (talent-wise)? If yes, rushing the field is a bad move.

Apparently others feel differently. I mean, it's not more complicated than that. We disagree. Like I said I'll be there, if it happens I will join in.

 

[Skullbone]

I feel like rushing the field is more of a spontaneous, organic thing rather than a preplanned event. There are no rules or criteria. When it feels right it just feels right.

I didn't say we should our shouldn't. Read above post

I understand that. I'm more talking in general than to who I was quoting. How fo you feel on the subject? I saw your post, but what if you were at the game.

Flatscreen TV excluded though.

I'm not rushing. However, the mindset of an intoxicated 18-22 year old college student at a game that probably doesn't even remember the last time we beat UF is not one I will be possessing. If they want to, whatever, no sweat off my back. The reality is that we will be so focused on the next few games and who we can beat in the coming weeks, we won't even remember rushing the field. We'll only remember we beat Florida for the first time in a decade.

 

[Wickman]

Yeah, going to avoid that area of the living room entirely
