The Official #8 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

And let the stupid coaching begin.

Why in the he$& do we not kick it out of end zone?? Stupid coaching!!! Just stupid!!

Coached proved that in your book???

 

[swampfoxfan]

**** it. im gonna go move some leaves around my yard.

Missed a good game

 

[swampfoxfan]

HAHAHAHAHA

LOL at all the people worrying about UTs seed in the playoff when Vandy is going to boat race them

Overreact much?

 

[swampfoxfan]

Tennessee is not a playoff team, they are pathetic

Spot on, feel a little ridiculous this am?

 

[swampfoxfan]

The amount if stupidity with this coaching staff is laughable sometimes.

Maybe you need to submit your resume to Danny White

 

[swampfoxfan]

Heupel is in over his head.

Nice take

 

[swampfoxfan]

Tenn is done, they are a pathetic joke

Real.vol fan aren't you

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Great win by the Vols but JH had better fix this slow start crap because the playoff teams will be good. Hate to see us down to a equal team after the first qtr.
He 's had all year and we still have not solved the problem.

There is some significant differences to yesterday's start. No interest in nuance?

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

How can a team look so bad in the first quarter, then play so well the rest of the game? You see it all the time. Certainly not just with this team. Amazing how quickly something can change the flow of a game.

Yesterday's first quarter was much different than any this year

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I wouldn't call it a "fluke start". We've done it almost every game this year. Nothing about it says fluke to me.

You must not have watched any other games

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

To be fair, that was an absolutely awful start and we were very uninspired. Luckily we got it together and Nico ended up having a great game.

The guy ran the opening kick off then we had a tough fumble. From the very start, it looked like our offense could do whatever they wanted

 

[jhcrane14]

They shouldn't host a playoff game now and we will. Michigan was 5-5 and Ohio State lost at home

I think most levelheaded people would agree with your logic, but somehow I believe the committee will still want to put them above us.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Some Volnation comments were displayed on national media. Not a good look calling our coaches awful for the world to see.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Tennessee scored 7 points in the first quarter added 17 in the 2nd quarter to score 24 in the first half. That is not starting slow.

What happened was the special team broke down on the kickoff return and Sampson fumbled deep in Vandy territory. Otherwise, it is probably 24-3 at the half.

The offense, other than the fumble, was just fine in this game.

Down 14 zip after 2 minutes in the first quarter pretty slow to me, especially when we are expected to be up 14-21 points at then end of the first quarter. If that is not a slow start, I for sure, don't want to ever see one.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Missed a good game

He didn't stay out there raking leaves very long. About like me, walking around the house a few times........Now, I just get off the TV and get on the Game thread on VN and hope things turn. It worked Saturday. Plus it's better on the BP.

displayed on national media.

Well whoever did that needs a good slap. Our business is our business, and in the heat of a game people get upset and say things. But, I imagine the Ohio State fans dominated the media, so.

 

[vol94]

Coached proved that in your book???

I can’t help you if you think it was a smart move to Not kick in the end zone. We knew going into the game that Vandy had strong special teams play.

 

[vol94]

lol! You show up hours AFTER the game is over to find posts from a game thread to single out? I post a lot of things that prove not to be right and have no problem facing it. I use the game thread to vent during the game. You use it hours later to try to make yourself look clever.

Don’t worry about people who try stirring the pot. It’s okay to post one’s thoughts and vent throughout the game. That’s what fans do.

He probably tried to kick it through the end zone. Cold NW breeze blowing in NashVegas

I agree with your comment except the fumble was on our side of the field around our 30 yard line.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

nice game NICO.. defense played much better except one drive second half... we seemed to make some adjustments... wouldnt it be nice if Nico starting to peak going into playoffs.. 3 weeks off to get everyone healthy

[VOL RN]

Didn’t want to open a new thread just for this question but what was the reason Campbell launched himself on the VU defender? The man was running at full speed with the attempt to injure. Disgusting behavior.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Furthermore, there is a difference about being negative and saying things about players that bleed for our University to have absolutely ridiculous, derogatory things said about them, by so called “fans”.

 

[BallinVol]

You must not have watched any other games

I watched every game this year. We had a habitual routine of starting slow, sometimes downright lethargic. I'm not sure what your argument is here. After the NC State game, we always came out of the gate extremely slow...
