... ... how bad an injury?

He would still work 2nd half. Fake injury’s

 

[TNVOLnTX]

Done. Season is over

Does that mean we won't hear from you til next year?

 

[Carl Pickens]

There was really only one truly bad call and it was the holding on Baron.

The fair catch call was too

 

[BreatheUT]

And SEC officials are corrupt. To think otherwise at this point is delusional.

The TV analysts are not going to point that out.

 

[Cartervol]

Sure does look like Pruitt and JG.

Exactly like that on the road..

 

[MurphyVol]

And people "feeling" like you do are the reason TN has been irrelevant for 20years. You forget how bad it really was. You cannot turn over coaching over and over and expect anything different.

Shoulda gave Dooley more time

I really like Heupel as the coach & don’t want to change but he’s gotta get better at game management. You can’t go for it on your end down there, especially with a lead. If Bama don’t stop You, the refs will screw you on the mark. That didn’t lose the game but it sure helped Alabama impose their will in the Second Half.

e coaches like a drunk teenager

 

[Halph66]

Folded like a lawn chair.

 

[C-south]

They only ended in field goals because of inaccurate throws.

The option plays and runs up the gut had nothing to do with it.

 

[Mustng959]

That has to be one of the worst halves of football that I've ever witnessed. No One wearing orange came out of that lockerRoom with determination in their eyes .... Coaches, players, cheerleaders or the Band.

 

[charleyhorse]

The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. We made too many against a stacked deck. This team can still have a good season. We have to let Joe take some shots. I really liked the designed runs. The defense will be fine.

Going for it in 4th down when we have an absolute weapon if a punter is just bad football. IDGAF what the analytics charts say. Our defense is good. Make them play 90 yds instead of 45. To me, if we go for it in 4th down in your own territory and fail, we lose confidence. The offense looks fragile and the misses just compounded.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Fyp

lol idk about that yet Carl, huepel going to have to get very creative down the stretch to hide Milton and WRs shortcomings tho

 

[Plove23]

Seldon just blasted that defender

I missed it, what happened?

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Right, we should have been 0-5 on 4th down and lost 34-14 as opposed to taking points when can get them.

So you’re into moral victories. Got it.

 

[gr82batnvol]

This is not brilliant offense. It’s vanilla. The coaching beyond the 1st qrt got progressively worse. You jump up 13 and instead of continuing the attack, you go soft and try to protect a lead at Alabama. I knew it would happen.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm just curious is anyone else slowing down the Milroe long touchdown pass and watching Baron? The Alabama lineman used everything but a rope and no call.

 

[Manchester Vol]

... ... how bad an injury?

Stage four brain cancer?

 

[lifeisdeep]

Its one thing for the refs to have a bad game. But I actively feel like they called a game to give Bama an edge. Somewhat subtle way of doing it too. No holding calls. No defensive PI or holding calls. They reviewed a few plays all in Bama's favor. They gave every favorable spot to Bama.

It wasn't subtle. It was even more obvious than the UF game. When you intentionally spot the ball a yard behind where it should be, when you ignore holding on Bama on nearly every play the whole game whether they were on offense or defense, when you call defensive holding on us when our DB maybe glanced the receiver's jersey with a fingertip for a second, when you call a fair-catch penalty when the rules (as posted by someone else on here straight from the NCAA rule book) clearly state that an arm has to be held above the head and our returner didn't come within three feet of that, when you ignore PI on Bama on every pass play we run, it's not subtle. It's in-your-face, brazen, blatant, shameless corruption, and if our administration had an ounce of integrity or conscience they would file suit tomorrow against the SEC.

There is such a thing as replay. The last time I checked, video is allowed in court as evidence. There has never been a lawyer that could bend and twist the officiating that was done in this game into being above-board, or anything close.

Don't even worry about using the UF game for evidence. Just sue based on this game. I want to see video of the dozens of plays Bama got away with holding be defended by a lawyer play by play, along with their DB holding the arm of our wideout for twenty yards and no call, or them repeatedly making contact with our wideouts before the ball got there and no call, or all the times they grabbed our wideouts with no call, while the glancing touch of one of our DBs to the Bama receiver gets called defensive holding. Unless the lawsuit is heard in Birmingham, the SEC is not winning that case.

e coaches like a drunk teenager

He’s now 2-6 against our 3 biggest rivals

 

[vol24/7/365]

This! Randy sanders. Up the middle in a row

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Milton played a good 1st half. Heupel put the training wheels on Milton unnecessarily in the second half.

He’s had the training wheels on him all season bro, and he still finds the ditch

 

[deezvols]

So you’re into moral victories. Got it.

And you’re in fantasy land apparently lol

 

[djwes]

Yep. They're not beating UGA with this offense.

They’re not gonna beat Kentucky or Missouri why are we even talking about Georgia?

 

[PA Vol]

You can be mad at the staff all you want. 20-7. Then 34-20. Has nothing to do with the staff.
