2013 NCAA Football Thread

Beginning to wonder if Derick made it out of Neyland stadium alive since he hasn't been on yet.

Waiting to hear some of his perspective on the game being there in person.

 

hey FU! tell the truth it was a lot closer game than i thought it was going to be! TN did a lot better than they have been doing in the past few years! GA got a lot of hurt players as well. but they did pretty good to come back after half time and go from 17 to 3 with GA leading to being tied at 31 and going into OT.

 

Washington. That way if y'all beat both, you're potentially beating two top ten teams.

I told him not to die.

 

I really dislike washington though. Not nearly as much as I do oregon state, but close.

 

lol the stadium clears out very nicely every time i have been to a game. I have never heard of any big problems with it clearing out or fights or anything.

 

So, it'll look better when you win though. Advancement of your team, or personal vendetta? Wouldn't it be great to see a higher ranked husky squad lose to the ducks than if the huskies were in the 20's and lost to the ducks?

 

Maybe he's just passed out drunk?

 

This could be. Or driving back home?

 

Oh I'm just joking around. I posted before about UT fans in Athens. I was at a game sitting in the visiting section, everybody was really nice and we joked around with each other at times.

I have to say about my rant on the penalty call on us, It was in the heat of the moment and I get pretty riled up during the game which is why I try to stay off any social media during the games so I don't post stuff I later regret.

 

Probably, again I said that halfway joking.

 

oh i know, thats why i said lol. i go to 1 or 2 games a year.

yeah i did not get that and my dad did not even understand that till they explained it.

 

I was thinking ya'll got shit on with the pf call on the coach. I thought that was going to be like a sideline warning. Not that I was complaining. Of course at that point in the game I thought we would start cruising too though.

 

I'M HERE!

Just got home. Couple things:

1. They need to make their dang hallways wider inside the stadium. You can barely fit 3 people side by side in there, and that makes for a huge flustercuck...
2. For the most part, the fans were OK. I got told by a very angry looking fan that Neyland was 10 times the stadium that Sanford is, and called a "fucking asshole". But, the chick that said that apologized. Walking out, had several UT fans give us five and say "hell of a game". I think it was because they weren't exactly planning on it being that close. Most of them I talked to didn't expect it anyway.
3. Any time the fans are bored, They'll sing Rocky Top and make me want to shoot a kitten in the face.

102,500 people there today, and in the first half, it was extremely quiet. After UT started fighting back, it was ridiculously loud. I've had a few people (one friend, a couple UT fans) say the refs won us that game. Tennessee got a TD on the sideline when he didn't have complete possession of the football, and we got some bogus Delay of Game call on the defense when UT was about to punt on 4th and 6, so I'm not sure how exactly they won it for us.

Marshall has a torn ACL, Justin Scott-Wesley has a torn ACL, and they're out for the season. Bennett Tweaked his meniscus (he tweaked it in practice this week, but everyone thought he was good to go tonight) and he's just kinda day-to-day, from what I was told after the game (know one of the graduate offensive assistants.) Gurley's injury is a 4-6 week recovery typically, but he, and the doctors (and team) are hopeful he'll be back next week.

We got lucky in that game. No way we should have snuck out with a win. Also, don't understand the play calling in OT. I understand wanting to get a little closer for a chip shot FG, but why take the chance of losing the ball by running 3 plays, including a PASS PLAY when they could pick it off?!?! I would have maybe ran a couple times, then tried to kick on 3rd in case they mishandled the snap, then they had another down to try it again.

Murray wasn't himself today, but I think his timing was off with a lot of the WRs. Douglas had a couple of drops that should have been easy 1st down plus some. The young backs did OK, though, considering the environment and the fact that they were trying to fill the shoes of Gurley and Marshall.

 

Oh yea, this is where we sat. Actually pretty good seats for the upper section. The fumble happened in the corner on the left of the pic. Had a perfect view of it. I could tell in real time it was a fumble/touchback. The fans freaked out around us, and were sayin I was full of shit when I said it was a fumble and he just lost them the game.

 

Nice seats! Glad you're alive. Any cool stories about the fan base?

 

Wasn't too bad. ^^ Up a couple posts

 

Ah, I missed it.

 

Well fawk! I figured Marshall would be done, it looked bad but was hopeful that JSW would be ok. I said after the SC game that he would step up to fill the shoes for MM. The big thing we had going for is was the multitude of wr's. Not one really great one but several very good ones. Not sure that Reggie Davis will be enough to fill the spot? What's up with so many acl's this year? I swear, aside from winning the game that the football gods hate us.

As far as the game itself, I felt that the hostile environment hurt Murray a bit, although he made plays when needed. Why did we not use Lynch? Got sick of the announcers talking about us being depleted, I knew we'd be ok running, I thought we would be in the passing game too. But then I started feeling like the coaching staff didn't want to throw it. I kept saying we still have good wr's/te (Conley, Lynch, Davis, and Wooten) that could carry the load.

The td "catch" they had imo was in the air once he caught the ball so he never touched in bounds. But replay didn't show anything conclusive.

Ironically as I was typing this Washington just had a key call go against them which I didn't see anything conclusive to change the call. I call bs on that one.

Also want to mention the lack of special teams, when and why don't we get a freakin special teams coach? Seems year after year we lose or nearly lose due to special teams.

I just wish the tv delay wasn't so bad so I could listen to the UGA radio coverage. I'm on Direct tv and the delay is so bad the play is usually over before it even starts on the tv, so trying to do the radio coverage while watching doesn't work. It just seems every week, and this also includes Braves games now that the play offs have started, that I get more and more sick of hearing the national coverage.

 

My throat is killing me and I can't talk. After that one handed TD snag, I was already losing my voice. That was a heck of a catch.

Hate to see that tO$U won.

Was at Applebee's watching LSU/MSU. Was shocked when I got there and it was like a 3 point game.

 

I'm not sure. All the UGA fans I talked to were saying how they hate Bobo and he's too predictable (all he does is run up the middle on 1st and 2nd down anymore) and how we needed to use Lynch. Murray seemed out of sync. Didn't have a good game at all, really. We never did really try to go down field, which is strange for us. But, it seemed like every time we had a deep route, someone was in Murray's face. The O Line didn't give him much time.

It was a typical UGA game...we play up or down to the level of our opponent...
