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

Maybe people can stop with the "Put Milton in!" when things aren't going well. I look forward to seeing him next year, but I prefer Hooker on the field right now.

Agree. Hooker has earned respect. Sadly, I'll be surprised if Hooker suits up again. I believe that knee is going to need quite a bit of time to heal.

 

[TWilson]

No, but he does need to address the defensive side of the ball. D got exposed against Pitt, Bama, UGA and now this woeful SCar team.

Forgot Florida. Richardson raped us. Delete my comment if you must, but there is no other relative word that describes what he did to our defense.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

A damn I do not give about next year. I’m 67 years old….

I'm 68 and I pee orange. (is that okay?)

 

[BradstarVols]

I'm seeing a lot of open space on the field. That's a pretty weak crowd storm.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

2001 won their biggest game…..on the road as an 18 point underdog. What happened next week was disappointing but no comparison to the complete train wreck tonight.

This team doesn't have the talent, they're soft and to be frank dumb

 

[EconVol92]

I’m personally glad they rushed the field as I want this memory to stick in the teams head and we will see next week if there is something more to the Bank’s issue or not.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

This team tonight is like James Harden. Mega offense and zero defense.

Mega offense? Defense so bad we couldn't even stay balanced and run ball

 

[Hopeful Vol]

We can still get 10 and 11 wins. Beat Vandy!!!!

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

You cannot win a season in the first quarter.

 

[KeyVol14]

I know it’s not a wasted season but it sure feels like it. We let a huge opportunity get away from us

 

[Memvol44]

Seriously Refs lost this???? Just wow

A few of those blatant holds could have been called. May have helped.

 

[AllVols]

We were never in this game. We got to within 4 points if I remember correctly and then they whipped us all over the field.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Willie Martinez strikes again

 

[Vol737]

Forgot Florida. Richardson raped us. Delete my comment if you must, but there is no other relative word that describes what he did to our defense.

True

 

[Jdw2920]

Man we’re great at giving up career highs. Probably just got rattler a shot at nfl

 

[Carl Pickens]

Folks, the Vols ran into a buzz saw tonight in South Carolina, and the Gamecocks deserve a lot of credit for playing an excellent game. It wasn't ALL that Tennessee's defense was off; South Carolina just happened to catch a bit of magic. It happens. Gamecocks played the best they've played in years.

Still love the Vols and will be sending positive thoughts their way, because they'll be hurting after this.

I appreciate you’re fandom but the Vols sashayed into Columbia and played like marshmallow bunnies.

 

[FranklinVFL]

And we beat both of them. Our second loss just came later in the year to move them up

Yes, but we all know early-season losses can be overcome, but late season losses sink team rankings.

And did either of them lose by 25 to an unranked team? SOR is going to plummet for us....

 

[C-south]

60+ points to a god awful team.

 

[vols40]

If storming the field after beating a Tennessee team that's sucked for 15 years before this one you suck as a football program.

You gotta love college football. Didn't we storm the field after beating USC Jr when Clowney was there? 2013 maybe?

 

[volmoon]

Rattler is not that good. Our bad secondary made him look like a hiesman candidate.

He was that good tonight

 

[VOLifornia]

Outback Bowl is not MAJOR

Not gonna lie that is where my head is…As sad as that is to admit.

 

[volinbham]

We are once again a team that motivates opponent fans to rush the field if they beat us.

Been a long damn time

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

Stop

We lose to candy....we suck

 

[jtdavis]

Yeah I’m just done.

There wont be no Sugar Bowl they flushed their entire season tonight.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Why can't we have nice things. Ever.

Baseball, basketball, football. When it really counts we never step up
