The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[hardyemt_p]

Goal post coming down tonight in Columbia?

 

[Zues1]

The curse continues

 

[NEO]

Atleast we got the “girls of South Carolina” thread out of this. Almost worth it.

 

[RollinVol]

Just wondering. Do we really give an extension to Heupel? Because we may need to see what next year is like and make sure this season isn’t a massive fluke. We may be losing enough players that we won’t be good next year and will be stuck with a massive contract

 

[Big Al Orange]

They whipped out ass tonight. And now Hooker goes down. Couldn’t have gone much worse.

We’re just not ready for prime time yet. Having no defense gets your Azz beat.

 

[Dergibvol]

So the real question is…. Where are we on Tuesday night?

Above or below 10?

Below

 

[Smokey7]

I should've stopped watching Tennessee in when we lost to LSU in 2001 in the SEC Championship


Think I'm going to go live in the past again. Maybe we win a Championship

 

[volmoon]

Whipped on the field and out-coached. It threatened to happen through 3 quarters last week. It happened tonight.

 

[VOLywood]

Our defense was fools gold against UGA and Mizzou. UK is just that bad and fed into the false appearance that our D had improved.

We got exposed tonight and it showed how badly we needed Banks and Rucker. Pitiful effort by D players and D coaches tonight.

 

[djwes]

Credit SC, won every phase of game, Vols are a joke

 

[BARknox bouncer]

Hell might be seveny

 

[ibvolman]

If CJH doesn’t take measures to get better defensive coaching and players then this will become a common theme for this football program. He is a great offensive mind, but when a team schemes your offense and shuts down big plays, you better have a defense to shut theirs down as well. GA and now USCe have demonstrated how to stop us. Does Huepel believe every team wont study these two losses and figure out how to at least slow this bunch down?

 

[UTFanHades]

In basketball

Regular season Rick won’t even give us a good regular season this year. No point guard. I recommend turning off football and basketball and watching soccer and golf until the BaseVols play. Football and basketball seasons are over at this point.

 

[teeball]

Win next week and they should make orange or sugar. Esp with ole miss loss

Do you honestly believe the Sugar Bowl is going to take Tennessee over Alabama who was 2 plays away from an undefeated season? My guess is we've already been penciled in for the Citrus Bowl.

 

[Memphisvol87]

You know Clemson got smoked in 2012 Orange bowl and fired Kevin Steele after 3 seasons. Dabo hired Venables that off-season and that’s when he really took next step with program. Hopefully Heupel does the same.

Last year defense cost us a great first season. This year it cost us playoffs. He better find a defensive coordinator

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Rodney Garner can stay. He has earned his keep.

How? Not arguing just want to know what he has done right in your eyes.

 

[1989Vol]

Guess UGA wasn’t that good.

Rained or they would have put fiddy on us, I'm convinced. They beat the stew out of the cocks at their own house.

 

[Memvol44]

Apologies accepted

Sorry MR PERFECT! About to … happy ? Sorry

 

[7maxims]

I have totally checked out of Tennessee football forever thank you

 

[casetopia]

Props to the real ones watching it until the bitter end. I had to turn it off.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Will Heup make any changes on the defense ?

Hopefully the first move he makes is to send Hadden packing. If not packing, let him backup a walk-on and run that mouth from the sideline. At least he’s not getting torched on the field then.

 

[Carl Pickens]

This is an epic failure, ass whipping, choke job for the ages

 

[jaxvol]

Put orange helmets in the river next to the bama goal posts….

 

[Jaingo]

Why debut the orange helmets at an away game at night?

They should be burned now.

 

[Megatron88]

So the real question is…. Where are we on Tuesday night?

Above or below 10?

Below most likely. Probably like 11 to 12
