Ballin’

It’s the last play of the game and UT’s Joe Milton, his team down by five, channels his inner Reggie Ball… by running out of bounds instead of throwing the ball.

I don’t know how serious Hendon Hooker’s injury is, but if Milton’s the quarterback when Georgia travels to Knoxville, there’s some serious comedic potential brewing.

    Tennessee fans are trash. Cheering for injuries, throwing garbage and golf balls? Low class is still class, I guess.

    I feel bad for the kid myself. He had a brain fart. Not much better experience as a college quarterback and he was playing in a really bizarre environment. I hate that he’s the focus of what happened when the focus should be squarely on what trash Tennessee’s fan base is.

      I don’t know how the word better ended up in the above post. Not much experience as a college quarterback was what I meant to post. Also, it’s ironic that the trash on the field was launched by the trash in the stands.

    I’ve been to probably 60-70 Georgia games over the past 30 years. I have never had anything like a golf ball, jar of mustard or any of the other stuff those fans had to throw on the field. Am I normal in this regard or do y’all carry crazy random shit into the stadium?

      You underestimate the pre-game prep involved in facing He Who Hath Scorned The Rocky Top, is what it is. 🙂

      I had a friend walking below Section 311, by the reed alley, circa 2001 and his skull missed getting hit by a gigantic padlock dropped from the top level as folks were exiting the stadium.

      I’ve had ice, drinks and water bottles thrown at me in Williams Brice Stadium (all I was doing was barking at the SC students and fans as they entered the stadium 😇). Georgia has had its share of bottle throwing and such – unfortunately.

      Yeah..well they all hate Kiffin and being the classless trash they are, they bought their missiles with them.
      This is GT level low class..(Although I have to admit that I found it pretty funny when they threw the fish at Aragant Parseghein for revenge).
      Once, Bear Bryant had to wear a football helmet at (then Grant Field) for protection.
      And we can’t say, “Keep it classy, Vols fans”, because you can’t keep what you don’t have.

    With Hooker – not much different. UT offense played a defense with a semi-pulse last night and struggled. They get Bama next week in Tuscaloosa at 7PM.

    Then they get a week off, then at Kentucky. The Vols next home game? The University of Georgia – a month from now.

      And that’s what I’ve said the last few weeks. They are better with Hooker no doubt. But as soon as they don’t play the Sisters of the Poor every Saturday, they struggle to do anything.

      Milton is exponential worse than Hooker and Hooker looked like he had either an ACL or broken ankle.

      Well UT is currently 4-3 and they will have 3 more straight losses. When they get to 4-6 will their rootless fans still be talking about what a genius Heupel is?

    We all said the same thing last night, very Reggie Ball-esque.

    To your QBR question in the other post, Milton’s QBR came in at 95.8.

    Did I hear correctly that Tennessee’s ineptness gave Old Mississippi 101 offensive possessions??

    The SEC needs to send a message and move the Georgia game to Athens. Hit them where it hurts and humiliate them at the same time. Make it happen Sankey!

    To punish them the SEC needs to turn the rest of their games into away games. That was such a pathetic way to act.

      Or just have them forfeit the rest of the season.
      They should be able to ID some of those that were throwing stuff at Kiff an the police escort as he entered the tunnel. They’re hillbilly versions of Harvey Updyke, except Updyke never tried to harm a human..only trees.

      I thought as it was happening that the conference might consider not allowing fans in the stands for the remainder of the season at Neyland. That may be a bridge too far but it should be considered.

        I think the Mississippi officials should have made their team go into the locker room, then get on the phone with Sankey and tell him they are not coming back out until the stadium is cleared. This was absolutely disgusting. One of their cheerleaders was bleeding from the head. Cops were hit in the face with full water bottles. Read earlier today a vol fan stating he saw a young kid get hit with a full beer can, he was hurt and got soaked. The conference needs to fine them 250k, not allow alcohol sales the rest of the year, and make the concessions remove all caps on bottled drinks.

  12. Here are some Tennessee numbers for y’all.

    Record since SEC expansion

    133-104-1. .561 winning percentage

    Taking out the NC and Manning years since ’92

    70- 98-1 .443 winning percentage

    Since Richt got to Athens

    99-98-1. .503 winning percentage

    They are who they are, not who Clay Travis and the hillbillies think they are.

    And you’re welcome Chuck Oliver. You can use this in one of your CFT’s this week.
