The Official #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Tennessee will beat Georgia

Yes. On January 13. In basketball.

 

[BradstarVols]

What are you on?

I don't jump to extreme conclusions after one game. Tennessee isn't as bad as they looked today.

 

[tnvols72]

No way. Keep him healthy going into the offseason, then let him dominate next season. We gonna get killed by UGA anyways, then destroy Vandy. 8-4 either way with a meaningless bowl game

Next year Nico is still going to be inexperienced. Then the fans will be on him and it will not be his fault

 

[UneducatedGuess]

Not happy with it. But just think abkc to where we was when we was 3-7 and beating Mizzou.

nah, I’m not happy that I’m losing.

 

[calban]

Coaching overhaul needed. Keep Heup and Garner. If not, will be more of the same next season.

 

[EconVol92]

This was always going to be a transition year. Joe is just Joe. He needs to take one for the team next week and then we should start the Nico era of the program.

 

[CoachClick]

Are you saying our defensive unit hasn’t improved each year Banks has been here? Based on facts, not your feelings…

Based on real results against good teams. Not inflated stats against trash teams.

 

[joevols89]

That first half was brutal. Mizzou really isn't a good team. Nor is Florida. Just some really bad football.

Missouri dominated the LOS both halves. We had no shot even without the implosion.

 

[KeyVol14]

Does it suck? Yes. But we absolutely overachieved everyone's expectations last year and this year we are on par for what most thought we'd be. Still miles ahead of where we've been, but you just turn a garbage program into a perrinial playoff team so quickly.

Can't you agree it's a concern that heupel struggles on the road?

 

[Memphisvol87]

We were lucky to score 7

He was dominated both sides of the ball playing for the chance at the East. Just like last year playing for a playoff shot. Choke. Huepel chokes

 

[Jxn Vol]

For those wanting Nico, it makes absolutely NO sense to put him in and risk injuring our next year’s qb. This season is done, no sense in ruining next year as well.

Zero meaningful reps this year hurts us next year. Heup’s blind spot with Joe killed us this year and potentially next year.

 

[orangerush]

Heupel is an idiot for keeping Milton as the starter of this team.

If that’s the case then we have a head coaching problem.

 

[jhcrane14]

Well, this was the biggest beat down we’ve had in a while.

 

[allstar34bd]

Joe is terrible

 

[NOLAPhil]

5 star hearts

 

[Manchester Vol]

Y’all think Milton might go top 5 in the draft?

Top 500 - definitely!

 

[EastTNVol6240]

No way. Keep him healthy going into the offseason, then let him dominate next season. We gonna get killed by UGA anyways, then destroy Vandy. 8-4 either way with a meaningless bowl game

Destroy vandy may be a stretch.

 

[utchatt]

Of course - credibility isn’t a basic tenet of argument. I used to teach critical thinking at the college level - if you had ever taken an English or critical thinking class you would know that credibility is a big part of argument. Your comments attacking people who questioned the officiating in our games this year reveal a complete lack of the most basic knowledge of the sport of football. Welcome to the list.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Game is out of hand, why risk injury to our star QB.

 

[djohnnyg]

Only thing worse than our play today is this board. I’m done

You'll have to forgive some folks. Getting obliterated by 29 points in a key game makes some guys a little disappointed.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Only thing worse than our play today is this board. I’m done

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Next year Nico is still going to be inexperienced. Then the fans will be on him and it will not be his fault

Nico will be great. I have no doubt, as long as the OL can keep him healthy. Dude has the it factor

 

[The Original Fade]

You're not worried about Nico as we!!?

Iamaleva will be an Oregon Duck next year

 

[UT/USM_081302]

Since the outcome of this game is clearly decided, I say this should be the next play call from Heupel.

 

[Persian Vol]

**** Georgia, I want Neyland to be all in. Nothing would make me happier more this season than us beating Georgia and them dropping a game in the SEC championship
