Appears they don't need him.

Sorta did.

Huge win given how they played first half. Philon took over. Would love to know what Oats speach was at half.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Peyton Manning was in attendance to watch it. Hope he enjoyed it.

UT fans full of butt hurt I love it!!

He and his boys didn't quit like many of the fans did.

Mr. Hindsight! I love it, wow! That's the fight we needed to see.

He did come back and give them 2 points I think. So there was that. But Bama was shooting it too well, and there was no way the Vols were going to carry over that rebounding edge % in the 2nd half... that was always going to be a close game... unless the Vols came back and shot the lights out in the 2nd half, which seemed unlikely without Ament.

Front line needs some help hope Bristow can make it back.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Tennessee fans are such a bunch of gobbers.

 

[#80]

We were -17 on the glass 3 pt line +6 for the game and TO's were the difference we only had 2 TO's in the second half.

Front line needs some help hope Bristow can make it back.

Unless something changes with plans, he's going for a redshirt.

I guess I needed to read the thread all the way! The way it was going Bama was behind 10 or more points. I'm been busy today and I miss all the games today.

Yeah I read he might we really need front line help.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I unfortunately missed most of the second half. Naturally it's our (second) best finish of the season. Go figure.

God oh mighty I am happy we broke that horrible streak.

If you have time to look at social media, TN fans are having a colossal meltdown about officiating. It is hilarious.

Can't say I am surprise Barnes has Oats number. Going to have to find a way to shoot their way out of the poor board play. Offensively they have the fire power but not sure as well as Barnes teams defend the 3.

He and his boys didn't quit like many of the fans did.

I knew offenstively they could BUT Bama was playing so POORLY on the boards and Viles were defending the 3 it was hard to see them finding a way. The offense Bama has means they are never completely out of a game which is why I made the comment I made. Good thing Philon was able to take over down the stretch.

The Philon that some were implying needed to play less?

You referring to people talking about how well the team played w/o him against MSU?
