Good win.......Man I thought there for a while they were going to blow that 18pt lead.

Always enjoyed hearing Bill Anderson recount how he ran into Keith Jackson before the game and Jackson said he just hoped Tennessee kept it close enough to prevent the TV audience from tuning out at halftime.

I taped the game so I could watch it when I got home from New Orleans (just in case we won  ). In the pregame Jackson pretty much said he didn't think we had much of a chance.

The Shark might be looking for a job back at Bama. That was some bad play calling there at the end.

I about fell out of my seat in the Super Dome when JP broke through the LOS....I told my wife....he gone!

Great win! 

Jeff Smith, from MIIILAN Tennessee!

Coached against him the whole time he was at Milan....Stud....and Ernest Fields...and Kidd.

He turned a couple of former Walkons into all conference players. Memphis threw the ball 80% of the time and I watched his WRs make catches that made me say wow.

He used to be my favorite national play by play guy.  But I won't lie: I somewhat resented him ever since ABC made the closing moments of our NC victory all about him and his impending "retirement".  And then he un-retired a couple years later anyway.

But in his prime, he was great.  Not John Ward great, but great.

Agree and I posted the same thing on TOS about the end of our NC game....that chapped my ass. Like you said.....after that he called Pac 10 games for a few years before actually retiring.

RIP

Got over 2 inches of pure sleet here in West Tn. and now it's snowing hard on top of the sleet. It's slicker than a frozen pond out there.

From what I see/hear, UT fans are jumping to the conclusion that it's a done deal that JJ is coming back.  From what I am hearing, it's far from a sure thing.  Again, hearing that there are several conditions that JJ is going to have to agree to, and that is is not done, and there are no guarantees that he will be back when all is said and done.  Still a lot of unhappy folks with the way he just walked away from the team when others in similar situations were still being good team mates. They all had the same crappy head coach.  That's not a valid excuse for JJ. 

Agree....And I'm sure CJP will have a good talk with the entire team before any decision is made. There are some...as in more than 9-10 that don't want him around. Pruitt will be smart enough not to do something that might make the air in the locker room thick. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Should have been done well before now. 

Just another example of Butch being Butch. 

Botch being Botch.....Biggest clown to ever coach P5 football.

Refreshing to see a guy that looks like a coach speak.....I stopped watching Botch's pressers after 2015....just couldn't stand listening or looking at him again.

I've already seen folks wearing shirts with Aight printed on the front.

That was a bad officiated game.....In fact it was some of the worst no calls you'll ever see. I'm all for letting them play...letting DBs and WRs go at it. But there were holding calls that were missed several times....missed facemask calls with a ref looking right at the play....Should have been a personal foul called on a Bama DB shoving Fromm's head to the ground after a tackle. If that had been a UT DB there would have been 34 flags thrown right there....On that Bama TD to tie it....the WR had a running start before the ball was snapped.....It looked like the Canadian football league where they let them move forward before the snap. Just a bad called game.

 

Next time DK is right will be the first time.

Yep...in a UGA heartbreaking fashion.

Can't believe he hasn't started before know.

His future is at nose in the 3-4 defense.....Take on double teams and take up space where he doesn't have to make many tackles or pressure the QB. He could have used a year in that system.

I'm a huge....huge college football fan and I watch it during the season from 11am central till after midnight......Watched 99% of the bowl games.....watched the D2 playoffs and watched the D2 championship game Sat. between N. Dakota State and James Madison and I'll watched tonight. After tonight I'll go into by post season depression until next Sept.......I don't really get into college basketball until mid-late Feb and march.....I wouldn't walk across the street to see a NBA game if you gave me courtside tickets and I hadn't watched a total of 3 hours of NBA in the past 25 years.....Same with hockey and I don't really get into MLB until about Sept. because the season is too dang long.

So what I'll do after tonight's game which is my second favorite thing to do..........and that's  

He might be the least ready to leave early player I can remember.

I read earlier that he has something like 3 1/2 sacks and 4 tackles for a loss in his 3 years combined. Just don't see this at all. I hope Pruitt in all his trying to help win Bama another championship has talked to these kids.

10 years too late.

Pirate...go in one of those good English pubs and drink a good Stout for me. Most of my wife's family is from London and it's been a while since I've downed one there.

Rupp's raftlettes is always a good drive by after a cats loss

I went over there last night....comedy gold! I was banned from Cat Pause several years ago......still am.

I'd say Barnes got their attention after the AU loss.......Started sluggish but a great 2nd half. Great win and a much needed win.
