I'm probably not staying up for the entirety. Let's stay healthy.

I'm curious, what specifically do y'all wanna see happen this game?

In order of preference:

1.Win and stay healthy
2.Keep it close and stay healthy
3. Stay healthy

Some fight. 2-4 scores. Keep bama under 50  :biggrin:

Circle the wagons and project the women and children at all cost. :biggrin:

And get back to Knoxville with all our equipment.

I have zero expectations. Just stay healthy.

Zero expectations are holding up nicely.

Whatever happens.... Like the fight so far.

Break 35’s f’ing leg. :bird:

They picked up the flag on the late hit/cheap shot/roughing the passer????  What the fizzle?  It was clearly late and he shoved Mauer to the ground.  This is BULLshizzle

Well you know, it’s at bammer, and bammer’s wingman the SEC Commissioner is in the house, soooooo.... :bird:

And of course they blow the whistle for absolutely no reason as soon as we catch them off guard with the wildcat.

YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT PASS GITMO - WHAT THE fizzle

I'm not a conspiracy theorist as a general rule but when that crap happens over and over and over in favor of one program...yeah.

Two plays later, three -- count 'em, THREE -- penalties called on one play.  :frown:

Homer cooking.. Play clock never started as soon as we go wildcat and the refs stop the play..At least we get 3 points..ugh

F/U/C/K THESE REFS.  MOTHER fizzleER!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Nine (NINE!) accepted penalties on UT now. And we’re not even halfway through the 2nd quarter.

As if bammer needs the help. :bird:

Can't lead with the crown of the helmet, we all know this.

WE can’t. They can, with impunity.

Is about time for a flea flicker!! :biggrin:

Keep fighting boys. I'm turning in.

If I'm Chaney,my adjustment for the 2nd half if Tua can't go is run the damn ball to the edge like they did against BYU and mix in some play action deep throws. JG is still f'd up but I like our chances against their backup qb if we don't turn it over and can maybe catch a break.. Go Vols!! :powert: :powert: :powert:

Does anyone else agree that coaching has been pretty good so far tonight?

Take away the penalties and Mauer getting knocked out.. We are neck and neck with them.

We are getting better.

If Maurer hadn't gone out I think we would have a chance. Bama's backup QB doesn't look that hot. Of course, as soon as I say that he will have a record setting half and pummel us.

But we are playing hard. Bama's going to know that they were in a game. We just need more talent.

We lost Bituli but we get Tou Tou back in the 2nd half. Defense is playing great,need to wrap up though.. Time to tee off on their backup,bring the house every play

Pruitt’s leaving no secrets in the playbook tonight. And frankly, that should be his philosophy for the rest of the season.

Yes, I fully expect them to pull away in the 3rd.

But, we at least look like an SEC team for yet another week.

In fact, I’d probably go onside on this 2nd half kick.

Yes.

GROAN if only we still had Mauer.

Like clockwork: whenever we enter the red zone, here come the flags.

And that was an absolutely phantom holding. Ball should've been at the 1. Screw job.

Pretty sure Jordan was the one who held, not #64.  Still, ugh.

And then they wrap up Jennings on that pass in the endzone. No flag, natch.

Why even watch at this point? :banghead:

The fix is in...as if we didn't know that already.  This is some BS. :bird:

The problem is if that's a hold by Jordan, Alabama is getting by with holding every single play.

Welp

Horse. shizzle. :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird: :bird:

fizzle the SEC.

If it's not a bullshizzle call for Florida, it's for Bama. Why don't the refs just come right out and admit it

Bullshizzle call,Taylor was just getting up..here we go,gotta beat them and the refs  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Yep.

I halfway expect some fanboy bammer pics to surface on that ref’s Facebook this week, just like the BB game at LSU last year. :bird:

He didn't have to give that extra shove.  Weak call, no doubt, but senior leader has to know the setting and not give them any reason to throw the flag.

I love to gripe about referees but let's face it...they seldom dictate the outcome of a game.

Tonight they're dictating the outcome. The only people who can disagree with a straight face are Alabama fans.

I haven't seen a screw job like this in a long time.

It's been bad, no doubt.  All the more reason DT should've known better.

Total home hosing.. The SEC has too much money at risk,refs are paid.. Still plenty of time if the Vols can wake the Fk up and do this! This game has been served up on a silver platter with Tua out.. Go take this $hit from them damn it!!

I can't even fault him. That's not a penalty. It's just not. Brian Griese was spot on.

I expect these announcers to hold a candlelight vigil for Tua any time now. Meanwhile, the fact that our qb was ALSO knocked out of the game (on a cheap shot, no less) is barely an afterthought.

Normally, it's not.  But it is tonight.  That's why I said I knew it was a flag as soon as he did it.

What was up with the live look to the hall Tua walked down an hour ago?  Lol

I may be wrong, but on every running play JG turns and looks at the RB....

JAY GEE

He just doesn't have a high FB IQ. He does stupid things.

please, for the love of all that is good in the world, make Butch's players disappear

.

no, you're not wrong, I noticed it too

I would rather seen Jennings in the wildcat than that idiot qb sneaking it and fumbling it.. what a useless idiot..omg :banghead: :banghead:

That fizzleing sucked.  JG will get a lot of blame, but I agree...just run the ball.  We'd been running well, it was just a yard.

if Guaranteed phuck up never plats another snap, UT will be better off. Please never let him take another snap

JG just needs to clean out his locker and be gone.. Never want to see him in a UT uniform again

Yes that was blatant

Yeah, that was fizzleing stupid

If the announcers are correct and JG didn't run the play that was called, JG is beyond stupid.

dammit, it would have still been a game. fizzle

it's pretty clear he did his own thing, the LT had a great block and the RB would have waltzed in for a touchdown

thanks Guaranteed, you sealed the deal with your self-centered, immature bullshizzle play. I'm looking forward to the 2020 season because you will not be on the roster.

Worst qb in the history of UT.. He would never see the field again if I was coach

Well, maybe we don't have to see JG anymore at least.   :dunno:

The frigging water boy would be playing qb before JG ever saw the field again :bird: :bird: :bird:

I hope not. I can take mistakes being made when things just go wrong, however when a selfish act leads to tragedy like we just witnessed, fire them and get them off the team. It was obvious that Pruitt wasn't to blame for that fiasco.

We actually played a respectable game up to that point.

Pruitt will catch hell for grabbing JG's face mask. I have no problem with it if he didn't run the play Pruitt called.

We had our chances. 2nd half,Down 8,Taylor does just enough to get a stupid penalty. We had them stopped. After that play,bama goes down the field and scores.The game was over. JG just made sure to seal the deal after that. Proud of the effort but am damn tired of seeing this team squander opportunities..ugh!

In real time, I cringed when Taylor put his hands on the QB and pushed him getting up. Then i saw the flag. I immediately left for the toilet to piss, as I was pissed at DT. Later after a friend and I were debating the call and he sent me a replay I was less angry with DT. I wish he had just gotten up on his own, but I now feel the penalty was not warranted. I still think that he was stupid for giving the refs the opportunity to call it, but in the heat of the moment I guess I'll cut him a break. That penalty would never have been called on a Bama defender, imo.  If he just gets up on his own, though, what might have transpired?

Great effort by the team. I will not berate them, with one exception. I have some hope for the future again, at least.

Agreed on all.
