I hate this game, I do not want this to go to extra time. Please just finish it

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I think y'all'll get it. EDIT: or not. This game is so damn stupid.

Also was hopeful about that replay until I saw the puff of sand.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

THEY'RE REALLY GONNA MAKE ME WATCH MORE OF THIS BULLSHIT?!?!?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Tennessee successfully failed to lose. 🤣

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It was a back and forth hard fought effort, but ultimately it was the gators who came out on bottom

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That kid can freaking get it

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

AAAHHHHHH IM GONNA THROW UP

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was an... interesting series for the Tennessee offense.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah normally I like Heup's playcalling. It can be controversial but it's aggressive... that wasn't

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can we please cool it with the damn boobirds when a gator goes down?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The last one looked a bit sus, but as they mentioned you wouldn't want to have a key pass rusher out on a key third-and-long. I would in general be in favor of having to stay out more than one play if you have to come off, though. Realistically, can you even be properly evaluated in the 30-60 seconds that a play could reasonably take in real time?

BAH, there we go. I knew Lagway wouldn't go under center. He takes spikes and kneeldowns from shotgun.

Being in the gun is a disadvantage. Jet sweep against a fast team is dumb and why Billy is probably still going to get fired this year.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
  1. "Gutsy throw" = announcer speak for "Stupid freshman throw that somehow worked out".

  2. I don't hate that fourth down decision or the call. Sometimes they don't work out, and Creepy Zombie Science UT clearly has the momentum.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Give me a replay, because Nico made that reach I'm telling you

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I thought he stepped out and was still a bit short, but I admit I was pleasantly surprised by that spot.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

THAT'S THE HEUP PLAYCALLING I LIKE TO SEE

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

LOL, yeah, that was bonkers in the fun way.

Fuckers.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Picking up right where we left off

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Gotta stop grabbing the shoulder-numbers, pumpkins.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And THAT is why it's so frustrating when we stall out. The pieces are obviously still there

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)
  1. Interception! LOL.

  2. Gotta give Heupel credit. After his playing days, he didn't do any Kingsbury/Reilly bullshit. No sir, with athletic fitness no longer a key requirement, the man went full fat-dad. I can appreciate that.

  3. Neither team wants to score any points. Jeezus.

This times a million. Billy seems like a good dude, but he coaches DUMB.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was an incredibly poor finish to the half, everyone who is tuned in is stupider for watching it

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The announcers keep talking about it being "like an NFL game." Well, right now it looks like the fourth quarter of the Hall of Fame preseason opener.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's been a while since I watched a full pro game outside of the sb. If this is what it's like how has this sport not been outlawed yet

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Somehow Florida gets a brilliant improvisational play for a TD, and decides to do some bizarre trick play, but then says nope at the last second. PAT good. This game is very stupid, LOL.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I feel OT favors the gators here

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel exactly the opposite. This Gators team is not built for high pressure situations where mistakes are punished.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well that was not a good game, but at least you're one step closer to firing Napier!

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Y'all are talented but have a few issues to sort out. GG (of a sort, LOL).

Any sort of competence from Billy in the first half, and I don't the second plays out how it did. This one won't get Billy fired tonight, but it won't help much either.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

How is that the play that goes our way lol

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crowd noise was a given. Billy might lose close and still get tarmac'd. Such an underwhelming coaching display.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

To wit, the play calling FOR LAGWAY was much more aggressive when it was his designated possessions, but now Billy is acting like he's a raw backup with no reps.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Just when I was prepared to call our secondary "improved"

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This game has got to be incredible to watch for anyone who hates the gators and the Vols

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

So... a certain percentage of Georgia fans, or a certain generation of Alabama fans? 🤣

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

These god damn oline penalties

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

FUCK. Decent call. Goddammit.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Man our oline is just not good

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Punting is smart for Tennessee. The more plays Florida has to run, the greater the chance Billy Napier does something stupid. Big Brain Heupel.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Points is points.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That is exactly what the doctor ordered!

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Worst part is, I can't even blame that on Billy. Lagway just forgot defenders are allowed to jump.
