This is the Non-Snowflake mindset. Nice post.
I have no issues with Eli or his comment to Josh on the field. I do kinda think it fairly child-like to make the comment on CBS post game. The ākicking oursā reference and the chant of āoverratedā raining down from the student section after the game seemed to dampen the accomplishment of your best career win though. And Iām sure those utter demolitions at the hand of the Vols last two years provoked the sophomoric response.
Is there a history here? Did CJH say something that might have pissed him off after the last couple beat downs we gave them? Also notice after he says it he practically runs away.
Well, he wasn't wrong. And yeah, Milton was bombing away with 59 on the board and we punched it in for a TD w seconds to play. Sucks but you have to give them credit.I read somewhere that Drink made a comment sometime after last year's game that they had "some unfinished business" and this year's comment was "we took care of business".

They are having one of the worst SEC recruiting cycles I've ever seen from a school not named Vanderbilt. Good thing they were able to buy Nwaneri. They would be somewhere in the 50's without him. I can't imagine the meltdown in the recruiting forum if we were ever recruiting like that in November.Drink wonāt even be their coach the next time we play them.
Agreed. We need to remember that losing sucks and we can't sit around and act like the winning team we're the bad guys because they kicked the **** out of us.Can't complain about that. It's exactly what Heupel has done the last 3 years vs Mizzou. It's up to us to stop them. If we can't, that's on us. If this team and staff don't like being embarrassed, do something about it.
We will play them again .... and it will be in Neyland Stadium next time. Like I have said repeatedly in this thread, that geek better start recruiting better, or we will score 60+ once again.I mean....I don't think in this era of the CFP any team should ever be "offended" by another team running up the score, nor should a team hesitate to do so.
Look at Washington. Outside looking in right now, though undefeated. What's the only thing they could do to make a stronger point? It's not just enough to win, you have to dominate and leave no doubt. If you stay classy, you likely lose in the polls.
So, hats off to Missouri. They won and handled business, and they look great in the polls because of it.
(One of my favorite memories was when we played them, scored a TD on every possession and never punted. That was a dream game.)
It was the running off right after saying it that got meā¦.. he looks like a bitch to meThank you. I just donāt get all of the whining. You can be as angry as you want but donāt hate Drink for coming in with a solid game plan and winning. I actually give the guy some credit, last year when he was asked about us running up the score he basically said āthis is sec football, we shouldāve stopped themā. Turnabout is fair play. Deal with it.
