College Football - Week of 11/8

[TruffleShuffle]

great coverage

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Iowa with a 73 yard drive, I didn't know they had it in him.

 

Included was the 20 yard pass to Stross though, booooo

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nebraska is up 17 now with under 4 to play. Awesome.

Just wanted to put everybody's mind at ease . . . I am not suicidal. Wyoming is a really, really bad team (with a pretty darn good running back in Devin Moore), but I'm mostly unphased by the loss. I think it has a lot to do with expectations. I no longer have any expectations for this team anymore. I knew they'd either come out on fire ready to show why firing Fulmer was a mistake, or utterly flat and basically give up on the year. It was definitely the latter.

 

That said, I was in the press box for the game and the defense was stout once again. Wyoming scored 13 points - six on a Nick Stephens INT returned for a touchdown and 7 on a Nick Stephens INT returned to the Tennessee 4.

 

This was the worst I've seen this offense play, perhaps ever though. Both Stephens and Jonathon Crompton looked utterly atrocious, though the running backs did a decent job without any help from the offensive line.

 

We're now out of bowl contention and will most likely lose to Vandy and Kentucky - guaranteeing the worst season in Tennessee history. Bring on Butch Davis at a $4-million salary.

What a disappointing season.

I read something about Kiffin in Knoxville. I think he'd be a good--albeit risky--hire for Tennessee. I didn't even really like him at USC but he'll be a recruiter and he can scheme pretty well. I actually like him more as a head coach after his Raiders stint.

[dew1679666265]

Auburn is tied with Tennessee-Martin midway through the 3rd quarter. No wonder that Tennessee-Auburn game set football back a decade.

 

Nah, we set football back at least two decades, probably three.

[SpongeWorthy]

That's just a really bad throw by Clark there. Man if the DB doesn't run into his own guy he takes that a lot further.

[TruffleShuffle]

fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnntastic

[SpongeWorthy]

WOW. HUGE PENALTY.

 

LET'S GO IOWA CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!

[TruffleShuffle]

feel free to call holding on the hawkeyes too

Did it have anything to do with Kiffin playing golf with Tennessee's top booster? Because if it was, it's completely false. I posted a rumor that Jon Gruden was playing golf with said booster earlier in the thread and the reporter giving the rumor made it pretty clear it was untrue. Now, that same rumor has expanded to the same booster playing golf with Kiffin. Funny thing is, this booster (Jim Haslam) doesn't even play golf.

 

That said, I'd be ok with Kiffin. I'd assume he's a pretty good recruiter and he's at least a decent coach, but there are better options (Leach, Davis, maybe Brewster) than him out there.

that wasnt interference...defensive player has just as much right for the ball

[abuck1220]

hand the ball off, wtf.

[SpongeWorthy]

Hollly crap. Huge 3rd down conversion there.

 

Think the Iowa kicker is nervous?

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah who the hell knows why they called that. blew an easy holding call on that play too, after calling a weird one last possession when their d-lineman just fell down.

[abuck1220]

so what's penn state, really, like the 10th best team in the nation?

[dew1679666265]

If the Bears beat Tenn tommorrow... Man I feel bad for Dew after today.

 

I appreciate the pity. :D

 

Honestly, though, I wouldn't be terribly upset with a Titan loss tomorrow. If nothing else it would take off the pressure of a possible unbeaten season (which we're not good enough to fulfill, I'm afraid) and the law of averages will likely start hitting us here pretty soon. We need to get out whatever losses are in our system before the playoffs start.

 

That said, I'd really hate to lose to Rex Grossman.

[NewUserName]

thats grounding

[abuck1220]

come on, give it to greene...you have three timeouts left. you really leaving this up to a guy named ricky?

[dew1679666265]

Hollly crap. Huge 3rd down conversion there.

Biggest game of the year for Iowa. Possibly of the last two or three years.

 

Yeah, he's nervous.
