"Troublesome times are here,
Filling men's hearts with with fear..."

- "Jesus is Coming Soon" by R.E. Winsett

Let's get this over with.

I can live with a loss if young guys are all over the field. If older guys who have played a key role in so many debacles get most of the snaps that's a problem.

We better be in full-on 2021 mode.

Has the starter been announced yet?  I mean QB of course.   :naughty:

We 'bout to find out.

Per VN, someone named "Cheggers" has said JG is starting.

Two things about that.

1. He had arguably the best game of his career down there in 2018, and is definitely a streaky player. He may just surprise us pleasantly.
2. Assuming he is true to his more recent form, maybe we at least get to see Bailey take some meaningful snaps.

And yes, we bout to find out!

Nice pass, it did hit planet earth though

Throws tally drive 1:
Good:  2
Bad:  3

That sack was unhelpful.

Pretty much a whiff by the RB

If you're keeping a running tally that could be quite interesting.

Nice start to the drive, we move the ball well, mis-sexecute a couple times then miss a long FG.

Its like this season in minurature.  :frown:

Burrell with the start at left corner

Hi!  My name is Trey Smith, but you can call me SIR!

The waving the hand over our heads is the signal to NOT tackle the ball carrier

Thompson  actually caught one!

Good start, keep it up!

Cooper got away with it the first time, not the 2nd time

I'll take the result to this point.

That's what happens when you are playing quarters and the safety doesn't know it

We are back to the UGA game where JG and Kennedy can't call the blitzes, AGAIN!  That is at least 3 times tonight already

Also, it would be helpful if we could execute tackles! :banghead:

Looking all too familiar. Gus just now figuring out that we can't/won't throw downfield. They'll start stacking the box and shut us down from here on out.

Nice decision and throw JG!
Throw to a guy BEHIND the line to gain and too low to catch it :banghead: :wtf:
Way to fizzleing go! :bird:

Stupid Pruitt. Had 1:18 left and didn't even try!!!

What a fizzleing MORON we have at QB! :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :pin: :pin: :pin: :pin: :pin: :pin: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird:

Why not just throw it on the last play? You're hoping for a jump ball. Just throw it.

I hate to criticize kids playing a game but I have doubts about JG's football sense.

Did call a time out to try and get something at the end, but I guess you are saying be more aggressive.  With JG.  Eh, maybe not.

Yeah, just toss the ball out of bounds.  :rolleyes:

What is the over/under on Auburn 3rd quarter points?  14 or 21?

21

With what, 20 seconds left?  Too late at that point.

That whole last series was just a master class in clock management. :frown:

Over/under for UT total offense in the 2nd half?

I'll go with 50 yards (and zero points, natch).

2 out of the last 3 weeks off and we still don't have a fizzleing clue how to cover the middle of the field! :banghead:

There it is.

Goooood night. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

If JG loves Tennessee so much, he'd QUIT.  You just knew it was going to happen.  :banghead:

Run the ball Vols.

The last five games: Outscored 98-7 in the second half. So far.

He juggled the ball

Miss St and UGa are tied at 24.

Who could have foreseen this?

5 games ago, we had the longest active winning streak in CFB. Now we're about lose 5 in a row for the first time in program history. Not even Dooley or Butch managed to pull that off. :frown:

Pruitt cannot possibly be fired soon enough.

1) Did this game benefit us in 2020?

2) Did this game benefit us in 2021?

So does Bailey come in for some useless mop up duty now?  Does anyone care?   :banghead:

like I said before when asked "doesn't anyone in the SEC play defense anymore"? Answer. only the teams that play the Vols.

Nice drive :powert:

ZERO (0) balls put in harms way :thumbup:

Much respect for the guys still playing hard.

Oh, and the return of the JG pouty face :bird:

We just doubled our second half scoring production over the last five games!

He would really pout if I was the coach. He would be done for the year. At this point you might as well see what Bailey can do.

TBH, I thought the look on his face said "Even I know I should be sitting".  Just an impression I had. Who knows if it's right or wrong, but that was what it made me think.

Did you see the total LACK of excitement when we scored?

Get a score as the end of the 1st half and score instead of the pick 6, and we lead.  Thanks, Jeremy.

You mean from JG? Or the team.  I wasn't watching.  I saw the TD but was on my phone for the celebration, or lack thereof.

It's hard to believe when you lose by 13 but one play lost the game. The pick 6 was a 14 point turn around. 7 we didn't get and 7  they got. Maddening.  :mad:

Exactly, unbelievable

How many pick 6's does he have? Whatever the number is, tack another one on for the infamous 100 yard fumble recovery by bama.

Auburn plays Bama next. Did you hear them say Bama has scored 35+ points in 20 straight games. Will Bama extend that streak? Auburn didn't exactly smother us defensively.

I know right?  And even with that stupid play, if Cimaglia hits the chip shot, we are only down 7 and don't need to try an onside kick.  Unreal!

This is why I posted elsewhere that this was a winnable game.

Tonight's matchup was really a game between two teams who were both 2-4 coming into the game.  AU was gifted two games by SEC officiating.

If you dont know how to manage the clock in that situation, in YEAR 3, you are NOT head coach material.

That was pretty much my thought at the time

That's  a great point
