Poor Pig........

[droner]

The kid was just trying to make a play. But the ball got to the goal line before he did.

I've always been uneasy with players diving and holding the ball out trying to hit the goal line or the pylon. It can be knocked out by a defensive player or fumbled. And sure enough, it happened.

But I can't blame a player who goes all out trying to make a big play. We've certainly seen the opposite the last few years.

Without Pig, we wouldn't have even been in position to win the game in the first place.

Agree -- you know he's hurting over that play!!!

That's exactly what Butch said, he made little out of the fumble and said that without Pig, we aren't in a position to win.

This says it all.  I hate mental errors, I hate lack of effort errors.  I have absolutley no problem with physical errors resulting from maximum effort.  Pig gave us maximum effort.

I absolutely hated it for him. He had a heck of a game. As a matter of fact, my wife had just turned to me and said, "If he keeps playing like this, there are going to be a lot of babies in Tennessee named Pig."

He has nothing to hang his head about.  I'm a fan of Pig.
FEED THE PIG!!!

  Loved his effort! He gave his all for Tennessee.

Agree completely.  Good post.
