Tennessee fans went from “we’re scoring fiddy, bitch” before the game to this afterwards:
Which begs the obvious question: how would Alabama fare in a rematch on a neutral field, Vols?
***************************************************************************
UPDATE:
No doubt he’ll really shine in a rematch on a neutral field without rain. He might even be as good as he was in Knoxville last season.
The real question is whether their players want a rematch.
They may have seen enough.
Bama and Clemson losing keeps them in the mix for sure.

I remember saying all sorts of stupid things in the mid-90’s after Georgia got our asses beat, too, it’s very important to have a set of lies to tell yourself so you can sleep at night.
PLEASE get into the playoff and PLEASE make the national championship so we can face a gimmick team for another championship, Tennessee. PLEASE find a way to bring your fraudulent defense to Los Angeles, we’ll meet you there.

I doubt Hendon Hooker really wants to think deeply about a rematch, even if it were in Knoxville. I can’t imagine a different result, unless UGA came up with a boatload of turnovers and penalties. The physical mismatch was glaringly obvious.

If Kirby hadn’t wanted to see UT again in the playoffs, you can bet your ass that he would have pushed to score in the 40s and absolutely humiliated UT and put the same doubt in the committee’s minds that they have about Oregon. UT may still have waded back into the fray by attrition and elimination, but an absolute beatdown on the scoreboard might have them at 7 or 8 tonight rather than 4 or 5.

What a stupid asshole. That’s why when you beat a man it’s important to leave a permanent reminder of that ass kicking. Every morning when he looks in the mirror reminds him that there was nothing he could do except take his ass being whipped. Otherwise, once the swelling goes down he starts thinking, “Next time…”.

I watched Heupel’s press conference and a minute or two of his coach’s show, and that guy had a look of someone who doesn’t want to play Kirby and UGA again. The Vols crowing about a rematch in the playoffs sound like we did after the Bama beating in 08, and I think if they played UF or LSU again, both of them would beat them.
It also looks like it’ll take a lot for UT to get into the playoffs if the Pac 10 and ACC champ both come out with 1 loss since UT won’t have a championship of any kind to hold onto and a head to head loss with another opponent in the field.

USC as a 1-loss Pac 12 champion is a nightmare scenario for Tennessee. They may be able to make a case over Oregon as a 1-loss Pac 12 champ.
If TCU finishes unbeaten, you will have likely 2 1-loss conference champions (although not convinced Clemson isn’t going to lose again) plus Tennessee fighting for the 4th spot.

TN really needs TCU to lose or else there’s a good chance they’re on the outside looking in. USC-UCLA play each other with the winner playing OR, so quality win opportunities. Any 1 loss PAC12 champ (USC/OR/UCLA) will go along with the winner of the Ohio St-Mich game. If that game is close, I think the loser may even stay ahead of TN especially if it’s Ohio State who loses. The ACC has such a weak resume, I’m not convinced their 1 loss conference champ makes it.

I’m sure he checked the standings before sending that tweet, just to be sure that there wasn’t a possibility they might end up in a rematch with four loss Pittsburgh who they had to go to OVERTIME to beat.

When the skies opened up in the third quarter, I’m pretty sure Kirby popped at least a half-chub realizing he had the perfect excuse to go FULL MANBALL for the rest of the game.
All this is by way of saying that it should be pretty obvious—especially to the opposing fans who’ve clowned on Kirby’s manball tendencies in the past—why the Dawgs didn’t rack up more yards or points in the second half. And I’d be interested in hearing this guy’s excuse as to why Tennessee’s offense at maximum effort still was barely more productive than Georgia’s offense in clock-grinding mode.

Tennessee fans sound now exactly like they sounded before the game – like they were trying to convince themselves of something they don’t really believe to be true. T Anon can say whatever they want and peddle whatever theory they want on Twitter, but the fact remains that they DID get their asses beat every bit as badly as it felt like and the score doesn’t reflect it. Yes, they missed some deep balls that could have led to scores. So did we. And ours were closer. I knew Vol fans didn’t really believe before the game when they kept telling me how bad Georgia was instead of how good Tennessee was. Big red flag.

Fuck Tennesee and fuck everyone of their delusional fans. Go back and look at two key things:
1) They are two missed field goals away from being 6-3. Pitt missed two field goals in their game with UT and they just make one, there is no OT. Bama should’ve made their field goal.
2) They are +8 in the turnover category and that plus the two missed field goals are the only reason they were ever ranked #1.
They have no business in the CFP. Statistically their defense is worse than Georgia Tech. This is pure case of their offense being sexy and a CFP committee unaware of their own confirmation bias.
