VTTW Board Index

Joe gets four possessions, and Nico gets everything else until 10 minutes to play.

I don't love the uniforms, but I am not the target demographic.

VOLS ready, AP still in awe of the stadium

VOLS win. Toss, defer

Pilot a Captain
Left arm in a sling

Pilii a Captain, left arm in a sling

Pliot a captain? Dang, I knew the Haslams had a lot of influence at UT, but that's ridiculous. :biggrin:

your sobriety is under review :naughty:

 :powert: Well done tribute to Holloway

Punting is going to cost us a game if this Aussie doesn?t improve.

I really don't like the "running" punt, or roll out, whatever.

He got rid of the exaggerated rugby motion and STILL kicked it out of bounds. :banghead:

I read "Pilot" as well.

I wrote off UVA as first game jitters, but this will drown us in the swamp. Stay tuned for more statements of the obvious.

Joe not over throwing
But high and/or behind the receiver

That was better. Especially the result. :powert:

They just said the punter is ambidextrous. That's intriguing.

That was two errors on consecutive plays

He is patient but I think his footwork is off

AP has come to play. Milton looks like 2021 Milton!

his two best punts so far have been left footed

The LAST thing we need is a QB controversy headed into next week. :frown:

I fear a controversy will arise at some point, but I'm usually wrong so that's a positive. Selfishly I'm pulling for Joe to get a nice payday after patiently waiting.

We have rotated corners this possession
ez Vandy and Burrell in the game

Dee Williams is a weapon

Charles unable to put any weight on the left leg

Getting some Akron vibes from this team.  They're taking some cheap shots out there. :bird:

Glad more DBs are getting work early

Campbell was hurt on the 2nd down play
Crawford in for him

shizzlety 1st quaarter

Beasley is playing at an all SEC level

He?s coaching like Napier

Haden never turns his head

I like going for it.

Who is Campbell?

He's frequently in position, but seems to lack awareness.

nice play that time

left tackle portal guy from Miami
Had the viral block last week

Oh right. My bad.

Why are they letting their coaches get away with running out to the numbers between every play?

Their left tackle had two handfuls of jersey holdi g the LEO ON 3rd down

We played safe on that FG

62 points may have a shade too high

Campbell back in, Mincey still at RT

We had a receiver, I think Bru, open behind the defense but Joe didn?t see him

Sort of a skinny post

See Williams is a gunner on the KO team

Is there a QB change at the half, or does Milton work as long as it's close?

My guess is the latter.

2nd team corners in

WTF...my ESPN+ account is having an issue, so not watching, just keeping up with the score.

I've always said Heupel has had us prepared for these type games. I guess that had to end at some point.  :banghead:

Thank your lucky stars

Congratulations Bandit. I don't have ESPN+, and pondered signing up for it today. Fortunately that did occur.

Nice of their guy to save us a TO

Blown PI call

I REALLY hate to complain about the refs in a game like this, but...damn.

They're calling every marginal hold on us and letting outright tackles by them go unflagged. :bird:

They brought Small in as a lead blocker
Worked very well
They followed Small, leaving nobody for Joe

Can we burn these unis at halftime and come back out in our traditional Orange? :frown:

Lol, it's not the uni's fault.

I?m all in

Just attended a Blues Brothers concert

The unis would look better if some of the players' orange t-shirts weren't showing at the bottom of the grey outer shirt. It looks funky.

Debatable. But they ARE fugly. That's NOT debatable. :naughty:

The are better than the orange helmets last year at least.   :dielaughing:

Vinnie has made many fine points. This is not one. The uniforms should have been legit Condredge throwbacks...or normal.

Now I need to shoo kids off the lawn.

The orange helmets were terrific. Seriously.

Admittedly I am color blind, but this is a unassailable truth.

I liked them too. But given the result that night, I doubt we see them again. :bawl:

The OG Condredge uni's are awesome!

THAT is the Tennessee offense!

Davis at center and Lane at LG the drive

Someone got talked to at halftime

The lateral passing game seems to have settled Joe down

I nice running game hasn?t hurt

Yah think?? :dunno:

He's so streaky. After that horrible start, he completed something like 11-12 in a row. Reminds me of Tee back in the day.

I am a caveman, but love those things.

Agree. Better to stink it up this week than next.

And THAT is defense, Tennessee style

A&M's about to lose to Miami again. Jimbo is still the most overrated coach in America, if anyone was wondering. :toothless:

In other scores of interest, A&M is a dumpster fire while Texas draws first blood on the Tide with a field goal.

How the fizzle was that not a penalty?!?   :bird:

This might be the worst officiating crew I've ever seen. :bird:

Josh is egging on the crowd
What fizzleing bullshizzle!

What the fizzle?!?

You would think the commercial time would be less on these ESPN+ games. You'd be wrong. :rolleyes:

I think AP spent their $550K bribing the refs

The crowd is IN the game now

Their coaching staff should be penalized EVERY play

it shouldn't be this difficult against AP. Not a confidence builder.

Time for an unsportsmanship on Josh
These red ducking SUCK!!!!!!  :bird:

The stadium announcer said ?their is a FLAG
On the play?

Just showed the Tejas TD on the Jumbotron

By these refs definition, that should be an incomplete pass. :dunno:

I HATE this damn song!

was my thought as well

On a brighter note, Texas is up 10.

  :clap:

Why can't they just play Copperhead Road? Too obvious? I mean, read the lyrics- it's basically an updated version of Rocky Top. :dunno:

1st time tonight that Haden turned his head around

I got to give AP credit, they are not playing scared.

I?d go dime

Slaughter and Tank were not on the same page
We were in zone, so I tend to believe Tank was at fault

Nice escort by Bru

Telander in at LB

Carter in at LB

How bad must Tank get in zone coverage to get pulled?

Go clock

Turrentine I?m for Tank after the injury

Wow. AP was beat badly by Southern Ill last week 49-23. Does this make you feel that the Vols are ranked a little high for now.

Is it accurate older guys caused this debacle, and also will profit from it since young'uns won't get PT? Obviously this isn't intentional, but the lack of valuable snaps for developing players seems to be tonight's worst loss.

Not me. Some of their better years they've barely beaten inferior teams. Win next week & it's on. Lose & that ain't good. Milton is from Florida. I like bounce back games on my card   :powert:

Most overpaid, beyond the shadow of a doubt  :naughty:

The real loss here is that we missed out on at least two full quarters of those clowns in the broadcast booth attempting to pronounce "Iamaleava". :laugh:

That was pitiful. That guy said that he even practiced it all week.

I think that was the D team of SEC broadcasters. They weren't that bad. But they weren't that good, either.

Right! They left me totally confused  :biggrin:

I don't think these ESPN+ crews are even employed by ESPN. I think they're contracted out by the game. When our game was delayed, I watched a few minutes of the UK game, and those guys were even worse. :frown:

Don?t get me wrong we played God awful yesterday, but that really was some of the worst officiating I have ever seen. The most inconsistent I have ever seen. I was thinking the same thing-they were tackling our defenders with no flags and we get jonesed with Ticky tack holding calls. The PI disparity was even worse.  It would not surprise me if the screw was paid off by gamblers. And I realize that is a freaking wacky comment, but what else would explain that shizzle?

I try really hard to stay away from giving officials a tough time. I?ve done some officiating in the distant past and it?s not nearly as easy a task as some people think. On top of that, they are humans and make mistakes.

Having said that, the crew last night was abysmally bad. It really makes me wonder how so much could be missed so badly.

Doesn't the home team typically get the calls in a game like that? SEC vs. FCS? I remember wondering if we had a Vanderbilt or Alabama grad in the referee crew lol. They even reviewed a call and still made a shizzlety decision. Crazy.
