Anyone committed hari-kari yet?

How? I only got 9-1 at 21-0. What site are you using?

ESPN BET.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Unfortunately

TN is going to be the SMU to PSU

You get the a-hole poster of the night designation

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

We did get that questionable roughing the passer call go our way though.

But how many PI’s and holding did they get away with?

 

[GordonC]

We've played some good ball in the second half. This could get interesting. It's definitely not over.

I mean it's like half the dam bored don't know dey's 60 minutes in a game

 

[Tenacjim]

Did Ryan Day really say something about knocking Nico out of the game? *EDIT* - sounds like he didn't say that. Just updating this comment to reflect that.

I rewound it. He said “we have to knock ‘em, knock the line of scrimmage back.”

Hari-Kari always makes me think of one of my favorites from Calvin and Hobbes.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Whatever happens tonight, I want to at least praise Will Brooks. That kid is a baller. He stopped the bleeding and maybe turned the game around.
Might be one of the most impactful walk ons I can remember

He’s the slowest guy on the team and a huge weakness in coverage, but he definitely has a nose for playing the outfield.

 

[Manchester Vol]

That's an old ems term. Lol Hope our guys adjust and execute the second half

Self execution!

 

[Behr]

If we don't score on the first drive, this game is over.

Not if they don't score on their possession and we do on the next.

Lol. Or have it your way.

I am late to the party. Can someone explain being down 14-0 in the first quarter?

Ohio State has absolute monster players and bad coaches.

He’s the slowest guy on the team and a huge weakness in coverage, but he definitely has a nose for playing the outfield.

He reminds me of Colton Jumper

 

[Carl Pickens]

Did y'all see Thornton make a catch, got tackled, then started tapping out? Soft!!!!

I did, but apparently they told him to stay out there

 

[BreatheUT]

Yeah was always the plan to come out and go down 21-0

Being down 21-0 had nothing to do with Sampson.

Needed it but that whiff on Henderson was brutal. But easy for me to say behind the keyboard.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

He has Kenny Rogers eyes. Big fan.

what

 

[strongtower]

I was surrounded by a bunch of chatty women. I said yall go watch a lifetime movie or something. They left UT woke up. I’ll keep them out til game is over lol

 

[87&91ALUM]

Lets go Vols! If we don't go to Rose Bowl, what is our alternative? I'm looking at a better second half.

 

[wmcovol]

It's 21-3 on the road against a top 10 opponent.

If he rested Sampson this long, he's not very bright.

Sampson is injured. Lower body injury.

I went with back to back vodka shots so I feel like I stuck a knife in my stomach.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

what

Nothing to see here. Move along…

 

[Zues1]

Did y'all see Thornton make a catch, got tackled, then started tapping out? Soft!!!!

He's still injured. Was questionable to even play tonight

 

[Behr]

I mean it's like half the dam bored don't know dey's 60 minutes in a game

I've laffed hard at some of these dudes.

 

[Voltopia]

He’s the slowest guy on the team and a huge weakness in coverage, but he definitely has a nose for playing the outfield.

There's a lot to be said for guys that know what to do, and also know when and where to do it. Knowing "where the puck is going to be" can make up a good bit of the athletic talent gap.

Banks came out in a prevent defense
