The Official #9 Tennessee @ #8 Ohio State Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ABC/ESPN

[orangerush]

Apparently we are not spending enough $ on players.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Lewis wants to play

 

[orange_glory]

Effort is terrible. Perception of the program is going to take a hit after this

Might lose some recruits

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Was Sampson sick?

 

[Orangecrush#27]

Hey bro, the question was asked and I have a few others to chew on. We’ve been here before. This is just recency bias.

We actually haven’t been here before. This was the first 12 game playoff we’ve been to. This was the first time going to the shoe.

 

[ETV]

Damn shame Bru had to end his career like this.

 

[Hoosierbilly]

We need to stop the penalties next year. Heupel your no longer cool. Fix your teams discipline or we will need to look into another coach. We were looking when we got you and we looked 20 years before you. Golesh and Hooker was your strengths. They are gone and you will be also. GBO!

 

[jim285pro]

Maybe it’s good to get embarrassed like this to end the season. We are soft as charmin. No resolve or leaders to keep these guys in it. Heupel needs to make some changes and we all know it.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Elarbee and Martinez is where I’d start if I were Heupel.

And someone please explain what happened to the 2021-2022 playbook and the last two seasons? Yes, new players, some need development, etc etc etc but you cannot convince me that you just throw the damn thing away and run the same horse crap all year and hope for the best.

Hooker, Hyatt, and Tillman weren't just your average guys and with elite talent you can run the fastest tempo imaginable and get the best separation and make the good reads consistently.

When you don't have guys like that, you can't use the same playbook and expect those kinds of results.

 

[TrueOrange]

If this game was in Warm and Sunny Knoxville, would the result have been different ?

Probably not. The score might be different but it’s hard to argue the end results changing.

 

[tnvols72]

Who are we really worried about losing?

lol not for sure

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

I said the same thing. His friends will end up getting him fired and if he is not willing to make changes then he deserves to be fired

It will be his own demise if he doesn’t make changes. This coaching staff has peaked. People need to be fired tonight

 

[GAV4L]

Oh ok, I forgot about the impressive list of teams they beat. Florida doesn't suck, they're decent. They dog walked Ole Miss. Would've had UGA had Lagway not been knocked out. If you think Notre Dame tricked Indiana , you should see what Ohio State would be down to them

Lagway is not very good

He sucked against Tulane.

UGA would've won with or without lagway

 

[teeball]

We'll be right back in this situation next year if they don't fix it. It's weird....you're known as an offensive coach and your worst position group is your OL? That's insane.

After the abysmal play calling this year I believe we need to re-think calling Heupel some kind of an offensive coaching savant.

 

[patrick]

Well we got our asses kicked. Damnit.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Was Sampson sick?

Nobody is saying.
He has played some.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

And maybe no more "anywhere anytime" talk unless you can back it up

Brick by brick

 

[BreatheUT]

If you really want to be a contender you need to upgrade the talent at every position.

We looked like a group of 5 team against these guys.

 

[Cartervol]

I’m sorry. Banks hasn’t impressed me at all. We had weeks to prepare. This is bad and embarrassing.

Banks sucks. Good luck at whatever D2 team hires him..

 

[VOLLeeann]

Heupel your no longer cool. Fix your teams discipline or we will need to look into another coach.

yeah Saban!!!

 

[orangerush]

A garbage time TD, Santa must be feeling giddy.

 

[FSUgothosed]

We've got thee absolute most bipolar emotional fanbase in the country. We lost. The sun will rise tomorrow. I wl kiss my wife and hug my kids. I am a proud VOL. I support the coach and team.

Actually, and sadly you don’t. This is how message board fans are in every fanbase. They are idiots and deserve to be heckled and made fun of at their own jobs.

Listen to Herbie talk about the idiots who want Ryan Day fired….

We have gotten dumber as a society by the day.

 

[TrueOrange]

Have to give them credit: they’ve got a good band.

 

[cgrish]

When we had Hooker every play was a TD opportunity. I miss those days

How many times did we attempt to throw downfield or the middle of the field all night tonight?

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Why do I look forward to UT football every season?

We’re a glutton for punishment
