I've [itch bay]ed a lot

You shouldn't have to encourage effort.

 

Either Hyams or Reveiz has a whistling booger on the final scoreboard...hahaha

 

I think it's Fuad.

 

Lol

 

Butch employs two guys fired by Richt snd nearly beat him with an undermanned squad

 

I know a guy who attended his first game in years at Neyland today. He is a Tennessee fan, who attended Ole Miss, thus he typically pulls for both teams and goes to more OM games because of his friends there and proximity.

He texted me tonight saying that he thought the house was coming down when they blocked the punt. He followed up by saying that despite the loss, this was the best game he had seen in years... he meant, the game, the crowd, energy, etc....

Thought that was neat that for once people got that feel in Neyland again.

 

i just hate everything and want to be miserable

 

I saw a lot of reporters on twitter say he deserved it, but I think the PF call on Butch was bullsh**.

How many times do Saban and Muschamp go crazy...never see them flagged for it.

 

The best part of today's game was that a number of recruits got to feel Neyland at it's best... that goes a long way.

 

Yeah, I can't imagine this being anything but a good day for actually getting talent into the program. Which is the key to getting good. I'm excited to start hearing reports on the weekend

 

Agree. Pig's OT fumble out of the endzone is an example (and my point). Coach tells player, "great effort, next time protect the 'ball."

 

Coaches applaud effort everyday. Nothing wrong with it either.

 

It was a fun game to be at today, and hats off to Worley. He played about as well as he can, and gave his team a chance to win.

 

What else would you do with it? If you kick or punt the ball through the end zone, it's a touchback. Why would you treat incompetent ballhandling differently?

 

This is the first time I've been upset after a game since bama in '09. The past 3 years have drained my enthusiasm and I'm glad this game brought it back.

 

Why is incompetent ball-handling around the end zone treated differently than incompetent ball-handling anywhere else on the field?

 

Because the end zone is a different territory, maybe?

 

Incompetent? Please.

How is fumbling in any situation not incompetent ballhandling? Can it occasionally be explained by a great play or bad conditions? Sure. That said, keeping the ball is the object of the [dadgum] game. If you lose it, you've failed. It's an elementary concept and rewarding it would be trophies for everyone territory.
