The Official #6 Tennessee vs. #7 Clemson Orange Bowl Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Jaws]

Helluva season, Vols. Congrats, back where you belong. Hope to join y’all in challenging Georgia in 2024 or so.

It's really a shame signing day is before bowl games now, this would have given us a crazy boost.

That is going to change if the ncaa still has anyone with half a brain.

Again I thought they did ok. For a Bammer I am ok with McElroy calling games.

I am sure McElroy was pulling for a fellow gump. What he learned was there is a new Sheriff in town.

 

[first time caller]

How exactly would he have know that all the commentators could talk about during the game was the Clemson QB’s parents?

She would look up as if looking at the big screen in the stadium and smile. Players look at big screens. Anybody at the game notice if they showed his parents?

I’ll upload my photos of I took of this entertaining game while at Texas Roadhouse sometime today.

Maybe so but McElroy is fast becoming one of the better announcers.

I like him as an announcer. He’s knowledgeable and comes across as a good guy.

That was a great win. Sadly, unless both bama and osu get clobbered, we will not move up in the final poll. I doubt either of those things happens. I think osu gets beaten close and i think bama wins close.

Another demon was exorcised as we got retribution for what happened in the 2003/4 Peach Bowl against these same Tigers. And we finally won an Orange Bowl!

I hope we can punt next year

I hope we don’t have to.

He cave Hooker his due and said it was a complete joke that he wasn't invited to NY. In my opinion he came across as being fair minded.

 

[Sea Ray]

Did someone say Cade Klubnik?

Did you hear he's a true freshman???

After sleeping until mid morning and reflecting on last night's game, I now believe if Melton can/will play next year in the same manner he did in the 4th quarter last night, we will be another top 5 team. Milton had two strikes in the back of the end zone, 2-3 touch passes to score and set up another, did not fumble, did not throw an int. and played above my . While I am comfortable with his passing game, I do think he needs to be a more forceable runner and con art those plays were he stops a yard or so short of the line of gain. he is a big, strong, fast, person and can have his way against defensive players if he sets his mind to do it.

That being said, I am excited for next year football's season.

I heard him say that. I personally think he calls a good game. The other guy who was working with him not so much.

 

[feathersax]

Sure do miss those Cafegos and Colquitts

Also Majors, Widby, Clabo & others. WHO will be the punter next year?

Still am of the opinion that he does a decent job calling games. Booth guys have one job try to hold as many viewers for as long as they can. My opinion in doing that last night was to create a storyline about the Clemson QB and his parents. At times he looked pretty decent at times he struggled. McElroy was more than complimentary of Tennessee in my opinion.

Was Milton's shout out to Hooker family a shot at ESPN's love fest with the klubniks?

I don't know how he would have know anything about that

I said men are gross and got put in FB jail

Figured the way she kept looking up and smiling, they must have been watching themselves on the big screen in the stadium.

If Bama loses we jump them without a doubt. We should be ranked ahead of them as it is and everybody knows it.

@Freak , will you be posting a video of the game for those of us who couldn't watch yesterday?
