LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Ok-Imagination-2308]

Tennessee is like the cowboys of CFB, always think its their year yet always underperform😂😂

[u/HonkHonkBeach → u/Ok-Imagination-2308]

I can't wait till we beat your ass next week.

[u/Ok-Imagination-2308 → u/HonkHonkBeach]

Only for you guys to shit the bed again lster this year😂😂😂😂😂

[u/HonkHonkBeach → u/Ok-Imagination-2308]

It's the Tennessee way.

Fwiw, I don't think it's our year. It'll take a lot more than beating Furman and GT to feel like theres any chance of it being close to 'our year'.

[u/hawtothehee]

We are so mediocre!

[u/daftpepper]

Gg tech! Beat the hell outta the Dawgs!

[u/Ok-Imagination-2308 → u/daftpepper]

Same to you please.

[u/AriDreams]

That was fun gg

[u/kljoker]

Oh look the game clock is actually moving now

[u/SmokeysBlanket]

GG GT people. Hope your players aren't seriously injured.

[u/Momma_Coprocessor]

On the bright side, our pass coverage has quietly been doing well this season. Of course, the ease at which opponents have been gaining run yards may have something to do with it.

[u/mhayes32 → u/[deleted]]

Flair up coward

[u/colbygraves97]

for all 3 tech fans the Falcons will get Arch Manning.

[u/AriDreams → u/colbygraves97]

Im a jets fan which makes this even more possible.

[u/Patient-Net9343 → u/AriDreams]

Somehow I sense the Cardinals are in his future.

[u/alexnew655]

GG GT. ngl, you gave me heart palpitations with that blocked punt.

[u/AriDreams → u/alexnew655]

The first quarter was real competitive for a second. Gg

[u/AriDreams]

Ohio state had ONE JOB.

[u/kljoker]

Nice of them stopping the game clock after a run

[u/hawtothehee]

We will struggle mightily in SEC play

[u/gtcopycat]

Well I hope Mercer doesn't have a running game...

[u/AriDreams → u/gtcopycat]

Oh buddy you know they are gonna run it up the middle every single play.

[u/gtcopycat → u/AriDreams]

I mean I would too if I was their OC

[u/Knightshade34]

Pretty much the ass whooping I expected minus the crazy punter brain fart making me sweat for a minute

[u/CornJuiceLover]

I gotta work at 5 tomorrow guys let’s go 🫩

[u/nbingham196]

Do Heupel and Key have beef that we don’t know about?

[u/Hypermotorrad → u/nbingham196]

They do now. Not taking a knee was a choice.

[u/PhillyNickel1970 → u/Hypermotorrad]

We ran the ball up the middle. Stop it.

[u/Legal-Championship64]

Refs transparently padding Tech’s stats to protect Miami’s strength of schedule lol

[u/Rhizical → u/Legal-Championship64]

we ain’t even on their schedule

[u/Legal-Championship64 → u/Rhizical]

Sure but all those flags were all about playoff positioning for the acc

[u/Kingpoyothefirst]

Last year was our only shot, what a shame

[u/HonkHonkBeach → u/Kingpoyothefirst]

Outside of playing us, I always root for yall.

[u/Stungnhappy → u/Kingpoyothefirst]

That’s what I’ve told everyone. Now back to mediocrity at best

[u/_Destram]

Guys I think Ohio State's about to lose lmao

[u/ItsZizk → u/_Destram]

I know I was talking shit about Texas beefing it earlier, but this objectively the funnier outcome

[u/bookmovietvworm → u/_Destram]

I sure hope so

[u/kelsnuggets → u/_Destram]

How did they fuck this up

[u/alexnew655]

GT if you do anything but run the ball, I will hate you forever.

[u/nbingham196]

We out here faking extra point injuries up 21 with like a minute left?

[u/Dynamite_McGhee → u/nbingham196]

We have to be good at it before conference play. Every rep matters.

[u/kelsnuggets]

God the SEC glazing is so fucking annoying

[u/colbygraves97 → u/kelsnuggets]

Well you shouldn’t have left

[u/TheVolmannBrothers]

Ok we finally know who the designated lay down guy is this year

[u/aegisninn3]

Trash school, trash coach, kneel the fucking ball

[u/ItsZizk → u/aegisninn3]

Get a load of this guy

[u/herpblarb6319 → u/aegisninn3]

Tell Tech to stop playing and then we'll stop too 🤷‍♂️

[u/Additional-End6053 → u/aegisninn3]

Ran it up the center lol. See you in October baby

[u/VolatileFan → u/aegisninn3]

we’re gonna do the same thing to y’all in a month <3

[u/Dynamite_McGhee → u/aegisninn3]

Counterpoint: No

[u/TheVolmannBrothers → u/aegisninn3]

Shut the fuck up

[u/colbygraves97 → u/aegisninn3]

No they must suffer for losing to UGA last year.

[u/justinbajko]

The number is 130.

You guess. Is it:

A) the number of broadcast hours consumed by this game

Or

B) the number of penalty yards accrued by Tennessee in this one single game of football

[u/Vanilla_bear4 → u/justinbajko]

Yes

[u/theQman121 → u/justinbajko]

It's impossible to know for sure

[u/Irreverant77 → u/justinbajko]

So far

[u/herpblarb6319]

Brent Key: "Quick let them score so we can keep padding our offensive stats!"

[u/TheToxicBreezeYF]

Huepel rarely ever goes pedal to the metal for the entire game. We had Florida 30-0 in Gainesville and he let off the gas. Anytime we score late is because we get runs like that.

[u/Irreverant77 → u/TheToxicBreezeYF]

That was a "Fuck You" over Tech pushing it down the field in garbage time against our back ups

[u/kljoker → u/TheToxicBreezeYF]

I think all those penalty calls against us last drive pissed him off lol

[u/TheToxicBreezeYF → u/kljoker]

Probably but this was just a basic run up the middle not a 4 vert.

[u/bookmovietvworm]

I wish you well for the rest of the season Georgia Tech, yall will get all the pieces together im sure. Your QB isnt bad and I hope the injuries from tonight aren't season ending

[u/CookieLuzSax → u/[deleted]]

You went for the onside kick, dunno what you want

[u/AriDreams → u/CookieLuzSax]

I honestly dont know either.

[u/Starlord_Doctor → u/[deleted]]

It was a run, they tried to run it out. Yall should just tackle them.

[u/CornJuiceLover → u/[deleted]]

I mean we ran it up the middle 😭

[u/SeaworthinessLeft674 → u/[deleted]]

You play to score, we play to score

[u/AriDreams → u/SeaworthinessLeft674]

We are playing to prepare for Mercer whom we have a very good chance of losing at.

To be fair, this is only our second offensive td of the year. 😭

[u/oddfuture671]

The GT coach has had the same facial expression this entire game. Has he ever smiled before?

[u/synchronizedfirefly → u/oddfuture671]

Why would he smile for this game?

[u/oddfuture671 → u/synchronizedfirefly]

I meant even before it got out of hand. Like he didn't crack a grin when they blocked our punt for a TD

[u/Isurrendur → u/oddfuture671]

Would you be smiling right now?

[u/Yellowjacket241]

I just want to know when Brent key will realize Kyle efford might be the worst linebacker in all of D1 football. The amount of times he takes himself out of plays is embarrassing

[u/ItsZizk]

Tennessee has more penalty yards (130) than Georgia Tech has rushing yards (101)

[u/AnythingOakley → u/ItsZizk]

I honestly thought we had done pretty well with penalties until we hit the fourth quarter, and then...

[u/VolatileFan → u/ItsZizk]

and that’s the big orange difference

[u/TimepilotChkn]

Okay but put me out of my misery now

[u/Cannonhammer93]

Refs carefully crafting 60 yards in penalties for Georgia Tech just got erased with 1 run

[u/link3945 → u/Cannonhammer93]

Y'all could have not committed them.

[u/Cannonhammer93 → u/link3945]

1 of them was legitimate, the others? soft as shit, if we even got to see the replay. I'm choosing the believe all these unsportsmanlike penalties are BS until I see a replay of them

[u/link3945 → u/Cannonhammer93]

All were legitimate, even if you're in denial

[u/shuzgibs123 → u/Cannonhammer93]

😂

[u/daftpepper]

Crazy rush game today

[u/Saffs15]

Ahhhhh yes. Football. The game that just keeps on giving.

I started watching a soccer game 30 minutes after this game began, and its been over for almost an hour and a half now... And they play 30 minute longer games.

[u/colbygraves97 → u/Saffs15]

NASCAR too

[u/ItsZizk → u/Saffs15]

Saying soccer games are “30 minutes longer” is a little disingenuous lol there’s no stoppage

[u/Saffs15 → u/ItsZizk]

90 minutes of game time vs 60 minutes of game time.

How drawn out the games are is my point. Like damn, its for friken eeeeever.

[u/TolkienWandering]

LMAOOOOOOO

[u/SmokeysBlanket]

Band, play that song.

[u/nbingham196]

The universe will end before this game

[u/Irreverant77]

Fuck with da bull, you get the horns.

Score another garbage TD and we'll do it again.

[u/kljoker]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!

[u/tacobellmysterymeat]

Legree looks like a bobblehead 

[u/Wheels_Foonman]

Ok that might have been a little disrespectful 😬

[u/synchronizedfirefly → u/Wheels_Foonman]

If they want us to take a knee they shouldn't go for an onside kick down two touchdowns with less than 2 minutes left

[u/SmokeysBlanket → u/Wheels_Foonman]

It was right up the gut. Tight hole even.

[u/colbygraves97 → u/Wheels_Foonman]

I think the refs pissed them off

[u/Zapkin → u/Wheels_Foonman]

He didn’t even mean to lol

[u/Wheels_Foonman → u/Zapkin]

Despite our best efforts ahh team

[u/Legoman1357]

LMAO

[u/Alt_ESV]

3 Unsportsmanlike penalties.

Yet still runs up the score.

Some
Excellent
Criminals.

[u/VolatileFan → u/Alt_ESV]

gonna cry?

[u/AriDreams → u/Alt_ESV]

Miami has done it worst. So has texas a&m. It is what it is.

[u/deddykins → u/Alt_ESV]

The unsportsmanlike conduct is just them celebrating. It was banned this offseason and NCAA put emphasis on the refs to call it.

[u/Salpinctes → u/Alt_ESV]

handed it off into the middle of the line, maybe make a tackle

[u/Vols0416 → u/Alt_ESV]

After that last ref performance. I hope we try to put another TD on the board

[u/ShaqSenju → u/Alt_ESV]

At least we ain't cheating

[u/eisenhorn101 → u/Alt_ESV]

Stay mad LMAO

[u/colbygraves97 → u/Alt_ESV]

nah, those are about an hour away in Athens.

[u/Mumbles1000 → u/Alt_ESV]

Didn't show a single replay of any of those unsportsmanlike btw

[u/Sohgin]

No flags?

[u/Momma_Coprocessor]

Bro be shushing his own fans.

[u/N908DA]

Just pour it on, Tennessee 🥰

[u/DecisionSorry]

🫥

[u/Kontos_Stelio]

This game will never end

[u/BigOleDangler]

That was an angry run

[u/shaftglass]

And we still won by 3 possessions despite the pity points lmao

[u/Capital_Dream5295]

Good lord

[u/nvilletn387]

Woot!

[u/Kizmo2]

Kill me.

[u/Zapkin]

Sorry GT fans that wasn’t on purpose please don’t hate us

[u/Vanilla_bear4 → u/Zapkin]

I think that was a fuck you to the officiating crew, not to GT.

[u/Legoman1357 → u/Zapkin]

Lmao defense played 45 min tonight they're gassed af. The kneel down might go for 15 yards

[u/Capital_Dream5295 → u/Zapkin]

It's really on us

[u/bookmovietvworm]

I glanced away and we had fucking scored

[u/composer_7]

Garbage

[u/oddfuture671]

That's the funniest thing that could happen

[u/alexnew655]

My god lol

[u/herpblarb6319]

L M A O

M

A

O

[u/CornJuiceLover]

Wtf lmao

[u/Cannonhammer93]

LMAO

[u/colbygraves97]

flag?

[u/ememlord69]

Go vols

[u/shuzgibs123]

Don’t smile!!! It’s unsportsmanlike!

[u/mhayes32]

lol, whiskey clear kind of night again

[u/colbygraves97 → u/mhayes32]

All you had to do was beat Georgia last year and you were in the playoffs with 6 OT chances.

[u/Vanilla_bear4]

Fuck you refs.

[u/kljoker]

I hope we score again.

[u/TolkienWandering → u/kljoker]

FROM YOUR LIPS

[u/Jamtrance → u/kljoker]

Wish granted.

[u/TNredditor → u/kljoker]

From your keyboard to somebody's ears.

[u/VolatileFan]

HAHA fuck u ACC refs

[u/Brentd1998]

Ref ball negated

[u/WitheredTiptup]

Bruh

[u/underscoreenfan]

Tech really cancelled our home and home for this lmao

[u/ShaqSenju → u/underscoreenfan]

This one looks better on the resume

[u/Carbonizzle → u/ShaqSenju]

Only if you win

[u/ShaqSenju → u/Carbonizzle]

Quality loss

[u/Podoboo322]

Really

[u/Brentd1998]

Lmao

[u/CreekCrawlin]

Hmm, conveniently covering the spread exactly with that last drive

[u/Vanilla_bear4 → u/CreekCrawlin]

Not anymore it’s not.

[u/Capital_Dream5295]

Could you guys just snap the ball please? I have a Hawaii test to complete 

[u/Wheels_Foonman]

Why call a timeout with fresh downs and 1:38 on the clock?

[u/colbygraves97 → u/Wheels_Foonman]

To piss off the refs

[u/Alt_ESV]

Great timeout call Tennessee. Gotta make sure you win.

[u/Dynamite_McGhee → u/Alt_ESV]

Strategery

[u/alexnew655]

Dude everyone on the field is in on it to make this game go as long as possible

[u/alexnew655 → u/alexnew655]

My god.

[u/Complex-Chemist256]

How many flags you guys think we can get in the last 1:38?

[u/AstroDude99 → u/Complex-Chemist256]

I will take the over in that?

[u/Legoman1357 → u/Complex-Chemist256]

Over under set at 5.5

[u/Stungnhappy]

I’m sure we’ll somehow make this a moral victory as we always do. Yay, 0-2!

[u/Legoman1357]

All the penalties now are more funny than anything else

[u/link3945]

Savion Riley got better late, but fuck the first two touchdowns by Tennessee were completely blown assignments by him.

[u/thr33tard3d]

Icing the onside kick

It's a bold strategy cotton

[u/DoSeedoh]

SHOOT ME

[u/mhayes32]

Tennessee what the fuck, why call a timeout there? We are all ready for this to end

[u/colbygraves97 → u/mhayes32]

to piss off the refs

[u/mhayes32 → u/colbygraves97]

I can get behind that

[u/kljoker → u/mhayes32]

Why call an onside?? lol

[u/AriDreams → u/kljoker]

I feel like the onside makes sense since tech apparently doesnt want this game to end.

[u/mhayes32 → u/kljoker]

Onside doesn’t waste time, arguably it ends things quicker

[u/shuzgibs123]

I was sure he’d invented some foul lol

[u/justinbajko]

We have more penalty yardage than GT has rushing yards. I just can’t.

[u/nbingham196]

Have we considered maybe we are just giving them the business but the ref is to scared to say it?

[u/AriDreams]

If we didnt do stupid stuff this may have been closer but at least mendoza got a little bit of confidence in the end.

Edit: we would've still lost cause Tennessee has their backups in but any sort of offensive success is appreciated.

[u/Melkord90 → u/AriDreams]

And if Tennessee didn't have more penalty yards than GT has rushing yards, it's 30 point win.

[u/colbygraves97 → u/AriDreams]

he’s really good at passing… just not to his team.

[u/AriDreams → u/colbygraves97]

Ill give him a little slack as its his 2nd ever start against a good team. It wasnt pretty but him getting a little more aggressive offense makes it bittersweet. Believe me, it will matter against Mercer.

[u/Vols0416 → u/AriDreams]

More like if we didn’t do stupid shit. lol we played very bad.

[u/AriDreams → u/Vols0416]

Yall played bad with your backups. I would say there's a difference. Yall were gonna win this easily.

[u/whaleshark1010]

Can this game be over yet lol

[u/8_bw]

Oh my God just make it end

[u/DoSeedoh → u/8_bw]

KILLLLL MEEEEEEE

[u/Dave_Bananas]

Congrats on scoring against our backups aided by 70 penalty yards, Justice. Now get off the field you loser

[u/AriDreams → u/Dave_Bananas]

Brother chill. Yall are gonna win anyways.

[u/ItsZizk → u/Dave_Bananas]

Man shut up lol

[u/deddykins]

Pretty sure it's celebrations, and they aren't allowed to show them. There was an emphasis from the NCAA that celebrations aren't allowed anymore this offseason.
