Most points and yards in team history. Wow

 

[GoVols64]

Awesome win! Happy New Year my Vol friends!

Beat a great team by a bunch and all without Hooker, Hyatt, Tillman and Banks! GBO

 

[DownTheField]

Hell yeah! GBO!

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Hell of a season boys and girls. Best I've seen outside of the Ainge and Bray eras, aka the best I've ever seen. Excited for next year but glad we have basketball and baseball ahead.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Hooker on the podium, too. This is gonna be special

 

[G0V0LS33]

Been a fun run this year. Love this place. Freak keep up the good work!!! You all stay safe and have a great new year!!!!

 

[captainsword]

What was the name of the Clemson QB again? Don’t think they mentioned him all night.

You mean the one that got outplayed by Joe Milton?

A win is a win. Sometimes it was ugly, sometimes it was exciting, overall it was bittersweet because it’s an end to another college football season.

Looking forward to the spring game and seeing all of our incoming freshmen playing. CJH definitely has us on the right track.

We really gonna give up a garbage touchdown?

The lame things people choose to complain about during a victory….. unreal

 

[JRVOL11]

helluva year, it was a fun ride. bright future ahead for this program .

 

[GoVols64]

mix oranges with copious amounts of vodka

Absolutely! Bubbly first, bourbon later. OJ in the tequila as the Sun comes up!

Hell of a season boys and girls. Best I've seen outside of the Ainge and Bray eras, aka the best I've ever seen.

Reminds me of the 90s and early 2000s. Big time bowl, solid opponent, put that thing to bed and handled business

 

[Woke]

Big win predicted. Big win delivered.

Milton ain’t Hooker. But this is his team now for better or worse.

A LOT of work left to be done. And we’ve got some key pieces to add and shore up.

But Gawd it feels great being in this position going into 2023!

Happy New Year Volnation

There's only one orange....

Pantone 151

 

[OrangeTsar]

Clemson got smacked around. Hell of a performance. Go Vols!

And Heup made Dabo look like a clown forcing him to burn that second timeout by acting like we were going for it on 4th

 

[TAF]

If Joe hands the MVP Trophy to Hendon,,,I just might bawl like a 9-year-old little girl...

 

[rocketskates]

Man, Heupel's interview after......

TN has a coach.......

I'm impressed

That dude ain’t going nowhere. He may have played ball at Okie but he’s a Vol now. Very passionate dude. After every big win you can see he gets a little misty eyed. I’d let me kid play for him in a heartbeat

 

[ibvolman]

Beasley should get MVP

 

[Frank Duncan]

Dammit!!! The seasons over!! Now I gotta wait another 9 months for my next fix!!

What was the name of the Clemson QB again? Don’t think they mentioned him all night.

Can't quite recall, but I heard a rumor his parents made the trip down to the game.

 

[RiverVol]

Congrats to the boys and coaches on a great season.

Scott Van Pelt's stats "Best Since -- Ever" .. hahahahahaaa... a nice summary to the ray of sunshine that Heupel has cultivated and the boys have earned up on Rocky Top.

Tennessee D showed out. They were outstanding.

Banks had one hack of a game plan. No doubt Clemson moved the ball…….but Tennessee stopped them when it counted.

Tennessee was without a plethora of key players……..and just but a boot to the neck of a good team.

Extremely proud of this entire team, staff and program.
