The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Mississippi State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN (hopefully it stays)

[C-south]

20-7 at half. It’s improvement and that’s what you want to see.

5 of our 6 conference games have been against some of the worst teams in the league. We lost 1 and have struggled in all. That’s not being nega that’s just reality.

Is Sampson okay? Not like in the terms of oh no.. we need him to be in the game! But like is he good? injured severely? I was on a phone call and missed it

Came here for this… was walking slow… cool if he doesn’t see the field the rest of the night.

 

[CAVPUT]

This team is what it is. Right now, I'm impressed that we're 7-1. Just give me a win any way you can Heupel.

No shame in skipping them. As conversations go, game threads are more a firehose on full blast than anything resembling a rational conversation.

Great description. Only a moron would take it for anything more than that.

 

[ETV]

This is the first game thread I've participated in this season because these people are so toxic and negative. I think I've had my fill.

But you can hang out in the PF and handle it there, but not here? Seriously?

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I don’t understand the offensive playcalling. I can about 80% call the next play it’s became that predictable

We should beat Georgia next week but we won’t because of this

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I mean people are seriously saying they miss Pruitt and JG.....am I in the twilight zone????

They don’t use the threads to come here to support the team they come here to act like they have all the answers and complain.

 

[Voltopia]

Goaline too. I love how all the sports commentators this year called this a high flying fast paced Heupel offense.

3 weeks in that all stopped when they realized the real offense genius went to south Florida

That offensive genius's team scored 7 points against mighty Navy today. They previously scored 3 against Memphis and 10 against Tulane.

Just saying.

8-1 is also reality, go be miserable in the PF. Go bitch about something, it'll make you feel better

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Anyone see that bama has a greater chance to be in the SEC championship game than we do? WTH

The football forum is a cupcake compared to the PF. Lol

 

[volsfan24017]

Rest Sampson. Play Lewis rest of game. We need Dylan healthy for next week.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

We need an OC because this play calling is head scratching and I don't have dandruff

Isn’t Heupel basically the play caller? I know we have “an OC” but I’ve always read that Heupel still has the last call on everything

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Oregon only up 21-10 against Maryland. But hey we’re the worst team in the sec up 20-7 at 7-1.

 

[Swiftybaby]

Our best first half in ages and some of y’all still crying. Y’all sorry

 

[C-south]

8-1 is also reality, go be miserable in the PF. Go bitch about something, it'll make you feel better

I can tell you’re still hurting

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Haven't had a drink in 12 years. What does my IQ have to do with anything? You've been talking chit the whole thread. Own it or stfu.

A game thread is not meant to be taken too literal. Since you’re so easily triggered maybe you should stay out.

Talent helps.

 

[Behr]

Where’s all the Vols by fiddiots?

 

[MeanOrange]

Ole Miss. beat GA. today with a (almost) one legged QB by throwing the ball often. I do not like Lane Kiffin but
the guy knows how to call plays.

I don’t understand why people don’t understand this… this conference is won by dominate defense which is what we have had… offense is figuring it out and progressing, not as quickly as what we want but like that it is progressing. And the O-Line looks better but obvious room to grow. Just give it time and keep winning.

 

[teeball]

20-7 at half. It’s improvement and that’s what you want to see.

I suppose ... but considering that State is the worst team in the SEC and they are manhandling our OLine gives me major concerns. UGA is gonna be pissed next week and based on what we're seeing tonight they will absolutely destroy our OLine and Nico will be running for his life. It may be UGLY.

 

[GhostVol]

POTS working the Circle Drill

Nice....

 

[malinoisvol]

I see the game thread has survived.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Yes…execute 40 runs up the middle in a row

And that is how offensive linen , RBs and QBs get hurt. we have a very important game net week and need to finish this off tonight. Throw the intermediate passes, maybe a couple of screens and the deep ball on first down.
