I was so proud of tiny walking up there to check on him.(I believe he was first to head towards lattimore) and the rest of the team as well

We may have sucked last year but that was a proud moment last year seeing our team give Lattimore the respect he deserved.

Indeed.

Lattimore will be playing for a great team as a pro. He's "going to shock the world."

Congrats to SC and UT.

That was a very proud moment and I reall hated to see Lattimore get hurt.

Made my heart hurt when he went down and my heart proud when the team responded with such care and class.

 

[Boca Vol]

You could genuinely see the concern in the UT players when that happened. Sad moment for a great player, but proud of the Vols for being there with him.

Do they really need to give an award for our guys just doing the decent thing?

Promoting sportsmanship is a bad thing?

If I recall correctly, the first person to walk over to Lattimore as he was down on the field was Eric Gordon, the player who made the hit. That must have been a very difficult moment for him. Most of our team followed before the South Carolina players followed our team. I've never seen anything like it.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

I teared up watching it live, not gonna lie.
