The Official #17 Tennessee vs. UConn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

I'm just going to chalk it up to Mays being out and apparently Joe playing with an injured rib.
Just finish out the season strong.

I'm right there with you. They play against in the swamp today I think tenn wins big.

Agreed. We'd roll them

Hope Freak is able to post this game's video. I even missed the radio broadcast today. (Though my excuse isn't nearly as impressive as Nerwen's!)

Must've been a solid win, seeing as there are only 76 pages of comments in the game thread. And I'd bet several of those are about how little or much Nico played.

Mizz shooting themselves in the foot.

Gonna be a tough team to beat.

Vols will bet Missouri. It'll be a hard fought game, but we will win. Georgia will come in way smug but I believe that home field advantage and this hungry team will find a way to win. Go Vols.

I dunno... we've embarrassed Missouri pretty badly the past 3 years. They (and their staff) have got their pride, and we certainly appear more vulnerable this season than last.

I had to go to work after halftime. Came home, and my dad said we had three defensive touchdowns, wow.

 

[DuckInAPen]

To put a damper on this great win, even garbage Arkansas won in the Swamp.

That Florida is now completely out of the SEC East race is anything but a damper.

 

[JohnD13]

Gotta get these penalties under control

UConn Game Notes

Dan Hurley against Rick Barnes would be a very interesting coaching match up.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Always a concern when you have a blowout at home against a weak team and then go on the road to SEC solid performing team. I think we outscore them at Mizzou. Gotta stop all the penalties and lack of discipline. We can beat UGA at home with our A game.

 

[VolKnight9]

I'm talking about how skinny his arm looks. As I said, he can get it done but his guns are a little small.

That makes a little more sense. His arms will be much bigger by next season.

So you would have rather we struggled with UCONN and had to play the starters all 4 quarters?

Nope. Just tighten up the lack of discipline and prepare for a lot tougher road game.

 

[firestorm]

The Volunteers had 3 defensive scores for the 1st time in 25 seasons.

Missouri is a pretty good team this season.
Tennessee isn’t the great team they were last season.

That’s why I expect Missouri to keep the game close vs Tennessee, and it’s a coin flip game that most likely will be won by the team that has less miscues.

Way to go out on a limb….

I really don’t understand why the sarcasm after I stated a sensible realistic prediction for a coin flip game.
