Game may be over before the half!

Game is over now. I’m one that is grateful to be here but this one is done

 

[JBVolunteer]

Wonder what the line for a Tennessee vs Michigan matchup would be after tonight…. Think Michigan would smoke us…

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

The on field performance does not deserve our fans.

Amen

 

[MDsweetT]

if we gonna lose this then fine but this? Is there one dude on the field or sideline who can get in their faces and shake this team awake??? Ok rant over I’ll have another beer

It’s crazy. But this is on Heupel. Biggest game in 20 years and you come out like this…..stupid penalties. Not adjusting defensively…Nico is seeing ghosts…scheme is meh. Gosh this is awful. Does anyone have any pride on this team?

 

[BeardedVol]

They are trying to slam the door

They want the Vols fans out of the stadium at the half.

 

[rocketskates]

I can't remember a more pathetic showing from us. We can't do anything, on either side. I just hope we can do something, and not be the most embarrassing loss, or that's all we'll be remembered for

2013 Oregon is the last time that I can remember us looking this unprepared and bad.

 

[slicedbread]

Echoes of Nebraska - Tennesee 1997. Maybe we can build from this.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Several teams in SEC are doing great in portal. We got 1. Need about 20 more!

 

[VOL6479]

Everytime we go against a team with a good oc Banks gets outcoached

 

[stolitonic]

LOL. The jokes at our expense are going to be epic.

We believed in our team this year and did everything we could to irritate the Buckeyes.

The first part of the above sentence was our first mistake.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Sure it’s the refs of course

No, you’re right. They have zero influence on the game.

 

[patrick]

Game may be over before the half!

It’s already over

 

[Allvols98]

28-0

 

[joevol33]

Sadly you’re right! How are we gonna get outta this hole?!

I'm afraid we don't tonight

 

[NOLAPhil]

Been this way all year. The guys don't use their off time wisely. Ohio state is playing Georgia's whole game plan.

 

[PC Jr.]

Get ready for the hate. It‘s coming and won’t stop until next season. It’s a bad way to end the year. It sucks because I think the Vols overachieved this season, but it will be viewed as a failure. The Vols made the playoffs!!

Hang in there Vols. They will be better next year. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

 

[Frozevol]

Y’all blaming the refs need to wake up.

But they’re making it worse

 

[tnvols72]

Amazing what happens when you blitz.

The sad part is he goes full blown stupid after he calls one

 

[djohnnyg]

Good defense? Bull$hiyt.

 

[Caz]

lol

lol..yeah, those refs are beating our asses!

 

[Race City Vol]

We always play bad after a bye week or too much time off, maybe Hype needs to re think what we do on off weeks

He needs to rethink a lot

 

[JohnnyD123]

We are the worst team in the entire playoff

 

[panhandlevol]

Well this is embarrassing

 

[Flipdaddy]

This was over after the face mask

 

[ConantheVolbarian]

When the breaks don’t go your way put on more steam baby

It's too late. Our defense hasn't shown a pulse. Our offense hasn't either and we're about to go down 28-0.
