I feel MUCH better about the rest of our schedule now. Guys showed heart, never quit, and they made the most of the breaks that came their way. This loss hurts, no doubt -- but I feel better about 117 now than I did when I woke up this morning.

Here's hoping the recruits feel the same way.

Only thing missing from this team was the top 20 ranking making the line even more nutty, which leads to the mob paying even more $ to the refs, and the tv networks...

And how about not calling a penalty for playing without a helmet. If gary knows the rule you should too.

Don't expect these refs to know, or rather, enforce the rules. This game was eerily similar to the Arky-UF game in 2009 when phantom calls were made, helping to preserve a UF-Bama SECCG.

Seriously, help me out. I'm still scratching my head over that unnecessary roughness call with 20 seconds left. UGA player loses a helmet, and it's normally a 10 second runoff. I didn't see any roughness other than the usual line play. Was that a smokescreen to keep 10 more seconds on the clock, or am I just being a cynical homer?

Exactly! That was a BS call that just got passed over.

I'm with you.... I never saw what they deemed an unsportsmanlike penalty. Did a TN player grab his facemask and rip the helmet off? Seriously, I didn't catch it. The announcers said "Watch over here" on the replay and circled the players that were involved. I was watching it but still didn't see it.

This game, even with it being a loss, will turn around this season. We have 2 weeks to heal and get ready for South Carolina to bring this same effort.

There were some gutsy plays made on the 4th and 1's. Butch was doing everything to try to win the game. I hate losing, but at least it was a fun game to watch and I personally expected to win, for the first time in a long time. Maybe this is the start of something good, maybe not, but at least we now have a little optimism.

I'm not gonna beat this up too much, but want to share my opinion, for what it's worth...

Based on the angles offered in the replay of Pig Howard's dive/fumble, I did not see conclusive evidence - enough that it should be over-turned - that Howard lost control before it crossed the plain of the goal-line.

He obviously lost control, but at what point? It was ruled TD and there was no replay avilable that showed, conclusively, the exact moment that possession was relinquished.

Going by the letter of the rule, this play should not have been over-turned.

Either way, thank you for the effort Vols!

If u know Vegas has set you up and paid off the universe, at least u know what you're up against...

Ive been on this board far longer than you, the last thing I am is sensitive. All you did was whine about me being bandwagon, which is funny, and didn't even attempt a rebuttal (you know what that means right?) to my OP.

Damn!!!! This was a gutwrenching loss!!! I'm proud of the guys in the second half!!! Now we have 2 weeks to rest and focus on SC!!!! Hell after this performance I might be inclined to think we might just sneak in a bowl but we can't have a letdown against SC. Bama is bama but if we play like we did today who knows what happens in that game!!!! Lots of growing up today on this team! VFL!! GBO!!!!!!!

Ok. I joined in September 09 and you in January of 10! Look it up bud! You kept saying all day its over. Why do you watch? Like I said earlier you're just another keyboard commando that thinks you're tough as nails behind your computer! I don't mind a good debate, bit you crossed a line when you called me a dumbass without knowing me. I'll troll you every time I get a chance from now on.

I think Pig lost control of the ball but was it really irrefutable evidence? The ball appeared to be in his hand as the nose crossed the goal line.

My take as well....he looked to have control at the plane. And if not, it was close. Just need to break the "glass" plane and that is what my Vol-eyes saw.

Our Vols played so well because of the grey jerseys, just a little more grey and... just imagine, if they had grey helmets they would've won!! haha, j/k... but it's good to know that we weren't blown out, which would essentially bury these unis deep in the closet!
