  • Oh look!  That's the fat coach who beat your ass 63-14 the following year, and won a national championship.  How sportsmanlike of you to make a post inevitably calling attention to that fact.  Kiss yo

He is in a funk. Seeing it in person he isn’t far off from turning it around and he is more comfortable out of the pocket. Receivers were open all over the field and some of the best play calling was late in the game and overtime.

Congrats on the win, but Nico is hot garbage.  Much like the Gata

Watch this defense breakdown of the game and let me know if you think "he's turning it around"  Suggest 1.5x speed

Glad you were there, always good to see a W at home.  The Oline won you the game and you think that's the problem?  Teams are scheming UT because Nico is trash.  He's getting $2 mil a year.   Receivers open all over the field but he can't throw the deep ball or keep his eyes down field even though the pocket was clean.   The shitty ass Gata D begged you to throw down field but your coach knows that's a bad idea right now.  Ten O is hamstrung by Nico and better teams than the Gata (aren't they all?) will make you pay.

Pass blocking is a liability. Run blocking is fine especially when we get in 12 personnel.

The Joel Klatt Show shared a short clip addressing the whole cigar victory act in the Alabama vs Tennessee Volunteers game. Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt shared his anger and frustration over kids smoking after the game thinking it might look cool saying, “Someone needs to teach the kids at Tennessee. By the way, kids, you shouldn’t smoke cigars, but if you’re going to, you don’t light them with matches. Like, there was so much wrong with that Tennessee like, come on… Vandy is kicking your b–t in celebration.” Joel Klatt not only took a shot at the Tennessee students, but he also mocked them by pointing out that the Vanderbilt goalpost celebration appeared more like a victory gesture than an attempt to fill the stadium with smoke.

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is in concussion protocol heading into a critical matchup against Georgia on Saturday, per ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Iamaleava exited the first half of the Vols' win over Mississippi State on Saturday and did not return for the remainder of the contest.

According to Thamel, Iamaleava practiced on Tuesday, but his status for Saturday's meeting in Athens is undetermined.

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said after the game that leaving Iamaleava off the field in the second half on Saturday was a "precautionary measure" and that he'd be "ready roll next Saturday."

After Monday's practice, Heupel once again reiterated that Iamaleava could be ready to go by Saturday.

"He was with us today, had a really good day," Heupel said, per 247Sports' Patrick Brown. "Feel like he'll be in great shape for Saturday, but you guys can monitor whatever the report is that comes out on Wednesday and track it through the week. But certainly feel like he'll be in a good spot."

Tennessee will release SEC-mandated availability reports on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, which will give more insight into Iamaleava's status as the matchup gets closer.

Iamaleava, the No. 3 nationally ranked player in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports Composite, has 1,879 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions through nine games. The redshirt freshman has also picked up 215 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Last week in the first half against Mississippi State, he threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns on 8-of-13 passing.

Backup quarterback Gaston Moore replaced Iamaleava in the second half and completed five of his eight passes for 38 passing yards. Should Iamaleava be unable to play against the Bulldogs on Saturday, Moore would presumably start in his place.

The No. 7 Vols' matchup with No. 3 Georgia on Saturday comes with plenty of College Football Playoff and SEC championship implications. Should Tennessee leave Athens with a win, it would likely clinch a CFP spot so long as the Vols take care of business against UTEP and Vanderbilt to close out the year.

Tennessee could also get one step closer to securing a trip to the SEC championship with the win as it currently sits in the driver's seat in the conference at 5-1.

Winning the high-stakes game would be significantly harder without Iamaleava on the field.

 

So anyone who has followed the Vols online is probably familiar with Big Vol Daddy, I'm pretty sure his rants have been linked on Surly many times in the past.  Apparently he died this past Friday.  His daughter started a GoFundMe to try to cover costs:

RIP to one of the countless little pieces that make college football the amazing tapestry that it always is.

RIP big vol daddy.   We are poorer for his passing.

I am curious the number of fights going down in Columbus this weekend. LMFAO

Why not fight?   What do they have to lose?  Teeth?!  

Speculation that there will be 25,000-30,000 Tennessee fans in Columbus this weekend, with ticket prices under $100. Can’t think of a better fanbase to suffer an invasion of Vol Nation than the Ohio State.
 

That could be an ugly scene if tOSU loses and there’s a huge orange contingent in the stadium.

Gotta tell after the Fiesta bowl (my first real run in with OSU fans) I won't be pissed if 10rc wins, not happy, but not mad.

oh they're DEFINITELY planting their flag if they win. 

They need to go for the holy trinity..... Storm the field, plant their flag, and tear down the goalposts.

You've got to credit the moonshiners for the trolling effort. They are way better at this game than their aggy cousins. Of course I get the feeling they are going to be in for a severe case of disappointment.

I really, really hope TX wins for obvious reasons, but also because I want to enjoy the hell out of watching this game. Either way it's a win.

LOL found this with the way Tennesse got blown out I feel like they could update it...

Surprise surprise. Iamaleava was one of the first real mercenaries of the new NIL era. Tennessee won his bidding war with a 4-year, $8 million contract.

If, in fact, a valid contract exists, and sufficient consideration has been established, then:

"In instances where the law cannot reasonably or effectively mandate specific performance, injunctive relief preventing the breaching party from performing the contracted services for any entity other than the performing party may be applicable."

Tennessee leaked the story yesterday as we are sick of his dad’s shit. They did this in January and got a bump. He isn’t coming back. 

This seems accurate

I am close to several in our collective. Nico is a good kid. It’s his dad that’s the problem. As of this morning I thought this would be his last year but now I can almost guarantee he is gone.

According to espn he was 35th in qbr so why did he get any raise. The future is paying guys that have proven they are good college quarterbacks like Ohio State and Indiana did. Curtis Rourke was third and Will Howard was seventh in qbr.

Rumors are he’s not responding to teammates or coaches text messages.

He ate dinner yesterday with team. He might be butt hurt that the national media is calling him an asshole.
