There are worse teams to lose too.

I think he's more upset they seemed to, once again, to snap defeat from the jaws of victory.

While working, I watched the game on YouTube TV (computer) until the last 5 seconds ... where I thought Tenner had the game. I was at least 15 mins behind, when I heard my wife yell -- "OMG".

When we moved to the large screen, I started with just about 1 minute left in regulation. I explained to her how I've never seen a coach continue to move the ball so much when they were within field-goal range. I'm all for running the clock down but this seemed extreme.

The penalty when trying to center-up was stupid, especially since one play before they were in the center of the field. The full 5 or six plays seemed to jinx the team.

We've been there, Vol fan.... Andy Pappanastos missed after Tua brought us back from the dead against those Dawgs. The kicker didn't lose the game and you'll live to fight another day.

I felt badly for the guy. Tough situation and to put the entire outcome on the shoulders of one person is not fair.

Projecting on this Sunday morning, aren’t we? I was rooting for UGA. Just calling it like I see it. The missed FG has nothing to do with how well or poorly UGA played.

In 2012 A&M missed going 13-0 by a combined 8 points. That was a rough one. There's still plenty more games to play

Dude is a freshman too.

Vols did some outstanding things yesterday. The DL injuries should be resolved for the MSU game, the Corner situation should be right about then as well.

Sucks to lose a 50/50 game but it very well could be the last time this year the Vols are not decent favorites.

To sort of quote the late great Lewis Grizzard. Georgia ripped out Tennessee’s heart and stomped that sucker flat.


They really did, and it was glorious.

What lost the game for TN imo... we sacked & stripped the ball from Stockton then ran th next 3 plays up the middle. We never tried to throw it and go for the kill shot. Heupel went conservative again. We were up by 8 pts with a little over 6 minutes left. You should not lose at that point, p,us our defense stunk. Never been a Tim Banks fan. Miss our defenses with AL Wilson Leonard Little days.
