[TrueOrange]

Winner gets the Battle Line Trophy.

 

[TrueOrange]

Arkansas struck first. 7-0 Hogs with 10:34 left in the first.

 

[BIG BOI 23]

nvm

 

[TrueOrange]

Surprisingly good game with no lack of offense.

At halftime it's 31-28 Missouri.

 

[TrueOrange]

I have never seen a targeting call on the receiving team, but yeah that's exactly what that was...who's dumb enough to target kicking team player while you're in the middle of returning?

I just want to know what got into Missouri. They went from being one of the worst teams in the conference the first half of the season to one of the better ones these past 5 1/2 games...

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Nice looking trophy.

Firing their defensive coordinator could have helped? They're no longer running a Big 12 - style, wide-spread-out defense.



That said, their defense is still pretty bad.

 

[TrueOrange]

Nice looking trophy.

The middle insert is replaced by the winning team after the game, which is kind of a neat twist for a trophy.


I like those where the winning team does something to make it reflect that they were the ones who one it (like how the winner of Duke-UNC in football gets to spray paint the bell their team's shade of blue).

 

[TrueOrange]

TD Arkansas off of a long run.

35-31 Razorbacks with 2 min left in the quarter.

 

[TrueOrange]

Or level of competition...their defense is still terrible.

38-35 Missouri with 12 min left in the game

 

[TrueOrange]

TD Arkansas on the screen. 42-38 Razorbacks now.

 

[TrueOrange]

TD Missouri 45-42 now with 8 min left.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Mizzou needs to slow it down and not score too quickly.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Not sure about declining that holding call.

 

[Boston Vol]

Bad clock management by Barry Odom. No reason to call timeout with nine seconds left.

Yep, should have let it get down so that the kick is the last play of the game.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Bye bye Bret!!

They need to find a way to keep his wife tho.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Tigers win. Heck of a turnaround job by Odom after a 1-5 start.

 

[508mikey]

Bye bye Bret!!

They need to find a way to keep his wife tho.

His buyout falls to 5 million now --

His buyout falls to 5 million now --

He looks like he ate $5 million worth of buyout.

 

[NorthDallas40]

And they just fired him!!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

Dang they didn’t even let the man get to the locker room....

 

[NorthDallas40]

Dang they didn’t even let the man get to the locker room....

Don’t blame them. Again find a way to keep the wife tho! Smokin’ !!

Literally less than 10 minutes after the final second.

 

[508mikey]

Dang they didn’t even let the man get to the locker room....

Hope that happens to the Vols staff after the game
