With the win over PSU, UCLA interim head coach Tim Skipper tied the total number of wins over top ten ranked BIG 10 teams that Franklin had his entire career at Penn State (1). Now, though, that UCLA win doesn't look nearly as impressive. 😂

Just 3 weeks ago they were the number 2 ranked team in the nation. 😳

Kirby is the new Nick Saban. They just need to give him a whistle and a flag.

James Franklin deserves to get tarmac'd for this performance.

Franklin is 4-21 against AP top 10. He is 1-18 against BIG top ten teams.

You'd think that the fan base would be getting tired of that. Playing all of those weaker Big 10 teams every year has definitely helped him keep his job.

Commonly referred to as a De Cleater.  

Good thing that tough little QB kept getting back up....Our history with backup QBs isn't real good.

They actually played their B/U several snaps Saturday
He more or less is a one trick pony, as in a runner at the moment

I read that his dad was a little upset that they burned his redshirt for that.

That sure beats losing

ND in danger of falling out of the top 15!!!!

Sucks to lose but today was a step forward.   We actually answered when they took control in the 2nd half.

And we have a quarterback!   

Gonna be a great season.

Yeah. When they took the lead right after halftime, I was thinking we wouldn't score again until garbage time, if at all. We've all seen that movie before.

Joey played his guts out. Still think he's going to have a special season.

Two likes here.

My only complaint: Next to last drive Tennessee was in FG range after second down. I think you have to have faith and give Joey a chance to move the chains on that third down. I didn't think they were aggressive enough there.

Last year, this staff took a QB that couldn't run this offense and won 10 games and made the CFP. I just think that they could have been more aggressive on 3rd down when we kicked the FG to go up 8. Could have/should have won this game.

That went pretty well.

Hey, Dabo......

Flipping any burgers?

What CJH and staff did last year, with Nico at QB, was an amazing accomplishment. Hindsight being what it is, he should have been named COY.

I think that Klatt is full of it. Nico was rarely able to read past one option imo, much less read both sides of the field for multiple options. Until proven differently, I will believe that the offense had to be simplified and slowed down in order for him to be able to function in it at all.

I read this week that the Tennessee AD has the largest recruiting budget in the SEC this year. I doubt that anyone really knows how much every school/collective is actually spending on NIL.

#3 has tons of circumstantial evidence.  Its almost for certain, and they did it to Kliempson also.

I think the clincher is that it happened two weeks in a route to potential playoff teams. If it had only been Tennessee, I wouldn't be nearly as confident that they had the signs.

All answers are purely speculative:
Yes
Yes
Yes

I doubt that Boo makes it through the entire season.

I've not seen one article anywhere that Coldplay is being sued. Film don't lie....there is zero case.

I agree that he has no case. I saw several references this past weekend suggesting that he had made a statement that he was considering a lawsuit, but it would be an exercise in futility imo. I do not have evidence that he actually made such a statement, so my OP should have been worded differently.

My guess from everything that I have read (and it is a 100% guess):  Somebody on the team (maybe more than one somebody) gave Boo a lesson in corporal punishment last week. He didn't take it well and left the facilities. As of now, he hasn't returned.

Why do I think this might be at least partially true? There was a cryptic post on VQ last week about someone falling on a helmet. The past several days, there have been posts from some members suggesting that the team has already dealt with Boo, very harshly. There were also early reports that the UTPD was involved in an investigation that might involve Boo.

Now the idiot is going to sue the band. What an entitled turd. Like it is their fault that his indiscretion became public. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

I suppose that I should be excited about the recent recruiting news, but in today's college landscape it just isn't the same. It is definitely better to sign these guys than not, though.

I'm so happy for him. Kid always worked his tail off on the court. If he had had a better offensive game, he would have been a much higher pick because in every other facet of the game he excels.

I actually feel sorry for the left fielder. That will be with him forever. He made a bad first read on a difficult line drive and couldn't get back in time to make the routine catch. R

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that LSU beat the Razorbacks but I do feel for that kid.

I'm now a Chanticleer fan!!!

should have never got to the point the LF had to make a play
The 1st baseman with a boneheaded play followed by the SS making an absolute bonehead play
DVH leaving the pitcher in too long
The list is long

Absolutely! The irony, however, is that the left fielder's blunder will be the play that is most remembered of the three.

If Aloy turns the DP instead of throwing out the lead runner at third (who was irrelevant as LSU was down by two runs) then the outfield mistake and Jones' hit never happen. That ground ball should have ended the game.

Tennessee gave up a run on a wild pitch. The second run was a batter who drew a 4-pitch walk with 2 outs and nobody on base. There was also a run given up due to a fielding blooper at 2nd.

The Vols should have probably won that game despite only having two hits.
