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

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Yeah, he's not

Still hasn't one a big one on the road

 

[BreatheUT]

So OSU wins 42-17.

Nebraska beat UT in '97.....42-17.

Next year will feel just like '98!

That Nebraska team was on a historic run and was probably the best in the country.

This Ohio State team hasn't sniffed a championship in years.

 

[Vols919]

They might actually have an argument to contract the playoffs. Go from 12 to 8, none of the visiting teams even made an effort.

 

[Orange931]

I hope Oregon beats the absolute sh*t out of Ohio State. I really do.

 

[Orangecrush#27]

LOL. What was I thinking??? You’re right. I just tried to remember the last time we were in a playoff game in Columbus with a quarterback named Nico. On a December 21st. It’s never happened before!!!

So the answer is I can’t think of a time we’ve been embarrassed EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

You’re a waste of time

This game was a waste of time hun. This is embarrassing, no matter how you cookie cutters want to slice it. It’s fkin awful. Thanks for this.

 

[FSUgothosed]

I don't care about next year unless we are in a national title game I could care less about going to another Tennessee football game. This is depressing. Gonna let our season tickets go as well nothing to gain from them.

FWIW there are 140 teams now and only one wins the NC & you better have good players 2 plus deep and a lot of good fortune.

Probably should give up on sports altogether it sounds like

 

[hound dog hillbil]

We should played Smu

 

[SugarVols]

Somebody explained to me why Mike Matthews did not play over our sorry receivers tonight

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Pearce lost a lot of money tonight.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Pat Ryan calling it a career along with Kesling.

That's due to the idiotic seeding...I'd be upset if I'm UGA or Oregon.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Herbstreet got a smile from ear to ear

Screw him. And his son. I’m glad his dog died.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

He isn't running that play book anymore and I think that is some of the problem. I would rather see him try it with the players and fail than this conservative BS that hasn't worked all year.

It's an unpopular opinion but I feel like that playbook that worked for Hooker and Co may require skills that most college players don't possess and Heupel knows it.

It's not exactly the same but something like tossing a pro playbook at high school kids. You can do that but they won't run it very well.

 

[FSUgothosed]

I hope Oregon beats the absolute sh*t out of Ohio State. I really do.

It will be close and if it had been Oregon that beat you, you’d hope the opposite

 

[VOLLeeann]

Somebody explained to me why Mike Matthews did not play over our sorry receivers tonight

Is that Mike's son?

 

[patrick]

Don't believe that at all. Texas A&M spent the money for a top class and Ohio State just did it with 20 million in the portal and their last class. Tennessee absolutely can do it, we just won't do it. Ohio State is spending money to win every year and we're spending money for a shot to win every 4 or 5 years.

Yeap - TN big money boosters want to be competitive, but certain other big money boosters for other programs like OSU want to win Naty’s in football.

Its nothing but a money scam anymore

 

[adam.vol]

We havnt played a full 60 mins all year. That is coaching, bad preparation and undisciplined

In that regard, we’re not far removed from Brick by Brick. Same ****, different day.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

You can’t mask an average qb forever either.

Sometimes looking in the mirror isn't easy but we may need to do it

 

[TrueOrange]

Don't even like Rucker...

Maybe but this seems like it was a lot more than just Sampson not being able to contribute as much as usual.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Pat Ryan calling it a career along with Kesling.

Unfortunate. I liked hearing his analysis and he has credibility. Gonna be hard to follow him.

 

[207 others]

Probably something very complimentary of UT?
Who cares.

People who enjoy football culture dude everyone talks about fanbases

 

[GTvols]

Huep used to be full of energy on the sidelines. Since the NC state game, he's been as dormant as a barn. Nico being a freshman is not an excuse. He needs to go consult with Marcus Mariota or someone on how to read coverages and get the ball out quicker. He had to be shaken up the entire game after that helmet crack.

 

[GAVol]

Best part of this game…. That was the last snap.

 

[FSUgothosed]

Screw him. And his son. I’m glad his dog died.

He was very fair all broadcast and very complimentary of UT fans, but yeah sure act like a child.
