The Official #1 Tennessee @ #8 Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Not if you watched the entire game. We started off tied 0-0 and quickly got tackled out of the game before it was a huge lead.

You must remember differently than I do because we missed several wide open looks as they built that 12-0 lead. Blaming the refs is an absolutely pathetic look.

 

[orchidvol]

The announcers keep talking about Florida's great defense. I don't agree. There were plenty of wide open shots tonight - just none of them are falling, even layups. I don't remember anything like this before. The ball just isn't falling for Tennessee. Pretty embarrassing.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Isn’t it rich that Fla is coached by a damn pervert.

Did he do something with minors or has he just been Kiffining the co-eds?

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

I had forgotten for a minute and now you had to bring it back up again. And you might be right.

Bro, I've been trying to remain positive. It's just one game and all that, but can't help but see we have been exposed. It's how we are getting beat. Can we fix it?
Damn I hope so, but I don't know how.

 

[Vol2021]

1 for 24 from 3 and shooting 14.7%. Geez!

 

[Vols till I fall]

I would tell Mashack to walk back home

 

[Zues1]

How far will we drop in the polls

#8

 

[patrick]

I'm kinda shocked that all just disappeared so quickly

It’s all about the money - seems like someone or someone’s got paid off.

 

[Vol737]

How in the world can an entire team shoot this poorly at once…

We have had a habit in the past of pulling a stunt like this. Not sure I've seen it this bad. Need to invoke the slaughter rule in this game.

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Wow,id bet 10 or lower in ranking

 

[Switch 625]

When UT poops the bed, it’s usually all-time NCAA bad.

 

[volsarelife1]

I would tell Mashack to walk back home

Okpara is the only one who deserves to be comfortable heading home tonight. Everyone else walk

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Well went into sec play expecting 5-7 losses and this being one but didn’t think we would get absolutely blown out of the building.

Yeah, I half expected a loss, but in no world did I expect us to play like the Bearden JV team.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Here is a question:

Would this happen (and I know road wins are tough and bad games happen) to Auburn or Bama? I think not. And by that I mean . . . To lose by 25-30 and a struggle to score 40.

Then go root for Auburn or Alabama.

 

[Vols All Day]

I would tell Mashack to walk back home

Gainey has been just as bad.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I’m not going to panic, it’s just a question. Feels reasonable to at least wonder a bit more about how good we are after this. Our biggest loss last year was to Texas A&M by 16. We’re currently down 31. Do great teams lose by over 30?

Uh, when they shoot 7 of 48 from the field, I can think of a lot of teams we or any good team would lose to.

Hell no. Those teams have legitimate scoring options.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Florida defends with body and physical play, if the refs don’t call it ya get this mess.

We had a game last year at A&M like this…it lead to 8 straight wins & we smoked them in rematch.

Just have to figure out how to not shoot this bad on the road.

 

[tnvols72]

Why do you do this every year? Is it not exhausting?

I had no ideal I said this about last years team.

 

[wmcovol]

Dude. Bad officiating turns off nights into disasters. I take it that you don’t watch much basketball or understand it.

I watch a lot. Refs had nothing to do with this and you’re showing your ignorance claiming such.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

How far will we drop in the polls

We stay in top 10. Probably 7

 

[GBO18]

Did he do something with minors or has he just been Kiffining the co-eds?

Just stalking girls.

I don’t think it matters. Just flush it. The worst part beyond the obvious is complete lack of composure. Move onto Texas.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Is this the worst performance ever by #1 ranked team? Serious question. Has to be up there.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

At this point, we are embarrassing the AP writers for voting us #1 lol
