They were on the ropes today and escaped. The problem with your line of thinking is that while rational, you completely dismiss how much I hate the Gators. If the Gators win the SEC East or TN loses the SEC because of the Gators you will have mild gastrointestinal discomfort and a brief but entertaining online argument with VolJake. I will have an Extinction Level Event. Moderate myocardial infarction, and a gout flare up. I might not watch the entire Basketball season even if the Vols make a Final 4.
If that happens and UF wins the East…and you move on in a mature manner…then.well.you are a bigger and better man than me. Doesn’t mean I want to lose. No. But if we lose 1 game, and it’s the gators and that’s what costs us then I will be a bitter curmudgeon
I’d be so unhinged-ly happy I might joyfully streak down Broadway butt ass naked if we end up finishing 11-1 somehow. At the very worst we’d be the last team left out of the playoff if that happens. But I’d bet a lot of money that 11/12-1 would get us in. Hell, it might could even be to our advantage not to have to risk taking an L in ATL should 11-1 become a thing and Florida somehow win the East on a tiebreaker. Let’s be very real though: Florida ain’t beating UGA. Them getting at least two SEC losses is inevitable
Maybe when the wankers said we controlled our own destiny, in their minds no way the gators were gonna win out? They already penciled in 1 more loss, if not 2 more, for them. I would be ecstatic if we went 11-1 (beating bama and Uga).
But you don’t control your destiny in that scenario. It was just an inaccurate statement on the broadcast.
Was a nice change to have an opposing QB scrambling for his life/blindly chucking balls as he goes down and not have 75%+ those plays go for 10yds or more
I am not going to lie, I was ready for every scramble, duck, over the head throw back in panic ball to land in a aTm player's hands and go for a score. the last 15 years has really [uck fay]ed me up.
That guy was basically a tomato can but I think we beat them like red headed step children if he started for us yesterday
You’ll never see a coach do this because it requires a 1000 IQ brain and a willingness to swallow a lot of pride. But A&M should’ve taken a safety on purpose instead of punting on that 4th down on the 1. It would’ve kept them in the lead and not given UT a super short field at best, and the go ahead TD that actually happened at worst.
I don't know how apparent things were in the stadium, but on TV anyone looking for PI could see that on virtually all of the deeper throws, the TAMU defensive back would have their hand on the bicep of the TN WR and be pulling his arm down well before the ball had arrived. Over and over and over. To the point that while I am on the same page with folks about Milton, it is a real factor this year that the WR's are not able to get into any rhythm. This has been all year. And some of the PI calls on Tennessee (not all, some) have been WAY less in terms of restraining arms and impeding a catch. It is bad enough that the SEC needs to take a hard look at how TN WR's have been officiated. Something is up.
That play was so egregious, it makes me sick. It is like TN is on some blacklist or something. I don't get it. But then, later in the game, we grabbed the RB's face mask and turned him completely around and the refs didn't call it, either. The refs just suck all around. You don't see this kind of horrible play calling in the NFL because they hold their refs accountable.
We had 2 15 yard facemasks not called on us. Refs missed a lot and called a lot that wasn’t there. 2 holds were awful and stopped drives. They missed an obvious right OT penalty on our int. Play should have been blown dead.
