The Official #12/10 Tennessee vs. Virginia Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

I’ll take it. Beat spread. Not our best offense, but a good start.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Karma.

Never ever skimp on an AD. Pay for the good stuff like Danny White!

 

[lifeisdeep]

Didja hear the commentary?? "Butch Jones will have plenty to talk about with his team after this"

OMG...... I haven't laughed like this in FOREVER!! Holy crap, I think I broke a rib

Belichick went to the center of the Pats practice field once after a blowout loss and buried a football, commenting that that was what they were doing with that loss. Ark. St. needs to go ahead and bury their whole stadium.

This is almost enough to make me retrieve my lost login for Twitter so I can heart that photo.

One shouldn't make fun of the mentally challenged like that...

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Looks like the talk of the week is going to be Colorado, neither team has a defense I guess.
His son with over 500 yards...ridiculous

 

[Wezcoast]

So the over was proven right, and Colorado achieved a moral victory if they lose because they competed for 4 Quarters.

Considering where Colorado was last year, I'd say they're gonna get their money's worth out of Diva Dion. Big time turnaround for sure.

 

[Pride85]

I’ll take it. Beat spread. Not our best offense, but a good start.

Imagine what it would look like if we met our best! 491 yards with a few hiccups scattered about.

Elvis Lives!

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Butch almost crying on the sidelines

Only nicer guy this could have happened to is Beldar.
Maybe one of his students will hit him between the eyes with a spitball

 

[DC_Vol]

1-0

 

[Sarms58]

Unofficially 499 yards offensive plus 105 in punt returns

 

[NMVol]

1-0. It's a start.

 

[sechamp2012]

I look for Colorado to be in top 10 next week medias going crazy over them.

 

[Volfan2012]

Well nuts, I picked 49-10 in the game pickum.

Found a guy that nailed it 49 to 13 so close this week but just about have to get the exact score to win.

 

[Delmar]

Your statement is laughable compare the list of guys each has directly coached to the NFL

I’m not really sure if Pruitt was a DB coach or not. Didn’t pay that close attention. But I can guarantee you that Pruitt had more pros under him at Bama and Georgia when he was the DC than Martinez has ever had. Pruitt was just a horrendous head coach and that ain’t a discussion.

That really isn’t the question here. The other guy was trying poorly to defend Martinez. That is a lost cause and ain’t up for discussion either. All you have to do is look at the technique of his DB’s and you have the answer. End of discussion.

 

[firestorm]

Virginia gave a less embarrassing performance than Arkansas State because Arkansas State was shut out by Oklahoma.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

The talent is obvious, after a little over anxious start on offense we settled down. Got to say defense did not surprise me, Garner develops players and it’s showing but all the D played well. We tackled very well overall. It’s gonna a be a fun year, get your popcorn ready!!!!! Go Big Orange! 1 game at a time!!!!!

 

[GhostVol]

A few more from the msg board.... check the last reply in the first set:

 

[Drewbydoo]

Imagine what it would look like if we met our best! 491 yards with a few hiccups scattered about.

They eventually corrected and added the few rushing yards we got the last two play of the game and we ended up with 499 total yards. Not complaining, but I was really wishing/hoping for 500 or more yards because I'm a greedy stats nerd.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

TCU goes splat.

Now that's all we'll hear.
Neither team put up a defense. TCU was a fluke last year but the way the announcers were talking you'd think CO took down Ga or Bama

Only when they smoke cigars at my expense. Somehow, I think the worm has turned now.

Tcu sucks

The hype train for Coach Prime is about to get real.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

TCU goes splat.

How embarrassing for them. My goodness. They have really fallen in public opinion in their last two games.

I’m not arguing either way for Martinez, but how does he keep getting these big time jobs?
