I've never seen a fanbase come so absolutely unglued and be so butthurt over a game they lost by two touchdowns after giving up 27 unanswered points. Like, I don't get it? This is old hat, they're Alabama you're Tennessee, they're just in a different stratosphere than you, simple as that. This is sad and absolutely hilarious.

It is even more ridiculous when you consider they got every single officiating break imaginable to get their win over Alabama last year. Really speaks to their own psyche. They came into this game expecting their team to get all those breaks on the road. That just isn't how it normally goes. The road team usually makes more procedural penalties and makes a few more mental mistakes due to the hostile environment. That is how it played out Saturday. Hell, the refs turned a blind eye - yet again - on a clearly dirty play by a Tennessee player. The game may've been well on its way at 31-20 rather than 27-20 with a correctly administered conduct penalty on a Tennessee defender. No, that's not helping keep Tennessee in a one score game or anything...the officials assigned by THE SEC OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA would never do that...
