IU - Tennessee (Gator Bowl)

[joeparules]

So there are some B1G bowl games that are easy to figure out to root against:
O$U (despite playing Clemson)
scUM (despite playing Bama)

Some are more difficult:
MSU (hate Dantonio and dislike how they skated with Nassar)
Wisky (I like Chryst, but hate how they are handed the West every year)

Some are easy to root for:
Minny (especially against Auburn)
Iowa (especially against USC)
Illinois (since I like Lovie Smith and they are not a threat)

This game falls into the latter category ... especially against the Volunteers and the mighty $EC.

go Illini

 

[AWS1022]

IU all the way. UT can’t lose enough in my book.

 

[MJG-90]

go Illini

Huh?

 

[jbenedict]

Indiana by tree pts. Go Hosers. Why Not.

 

[Nitt1300]

Huh?

or whoever- not the Viles

Agree, Tennessee is one of a very few teams against which I would actually hope a Big Ten team wins.

 

[BobPSU92]

I rarely root for the b1g, but after the Schia-NO. shit, go iu.

 

[Nitt1300]

I like Tennessee less than Meatchicken- and I hate Meatchicken

 

[RGWhirly]

Go Indiana!

Bad CLOCK. MANAGEMENT. by iu at the end of the first half.

 

[83wuzme]

Bad clock mgmt by Indy at the end of the first half. Why try to spike a ball with 9 seconds on the clock from the 6 yard line when your people aren’t even lined up and you have a timeout ?
Maybe clock management should come from the booth in situations like this. Too much confusion on the sidelines.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

Bad CLOCK. MANAGEMENT. by iu at the end of the first half.

That is on the QB. He looked over instead of just getting up and spiking it.

 

[RTRMR]

Amazing how the IU can SHRED our D(at home), yet can’t move the ball on a 7-5 UT(at a neutral site).

 

[Rip_E_2_Joe_PA]

They stunk.... and the QB.... seriously. They are damn lucky the score is close at the half.

UT improved drastically over the season.

Kudos to that coach for pulling the team together and coaching them up.

[83wuzme]

Agree that this is a dramatically improved TN team. They look nothing like the team from the last couple seasons.

 

[Cold Smoke]

They stunk.... and the QB.... seriously. They are damn lucky the score is close at the half.

In all honesty, this game is impossible to watch.

 

[Tri-Power65]

In all honesty, this game is impossible to watch.

It's a yawner for sure.

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

That escalated quickly. IU 16-7 after a pick six midway thru 3rd Qtr.

 

[83wuzme]

Hoosier Daddy now ?

 

[Madsol]

The Fighting Tom Allens with the Pick 6! Go IU! Can't stand Tennessee, esp. after their fans polluted our board to tell us how great they were when Shoop went there. Hang half a hundred on 'em Hoosiers.

Yep, it would be great for Indiana to get a bowl win over an SEC team. And it would give the B10 a winning bowl record this year despite the fact that the favorite sons of the B10 struck out!!!

Was just having some fun texting back and forth with a couple pitt boys. The only bowl win that the ACC has over a ranked team is by Clemson. And the B10 has 3. With the ACC's record without Clemson the past 2 years vs P5 being 7-26....

 

[Pennoyer]

If IU wins it will be in spite of their coaching. Allen looks like a fool. Just awful coaching. And they still should win.

Eh- they couldnt run the ball to save their lives but have adjusted nicely to beat UT's aggression. Allen has them headed in the right direction. Indiana is thr Vanderbilt of the big 10 kinda (less of an academic pedigree).

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Tennessee’s coach:

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

I love when a team has momentum and they decide to run an end around to lose 8 yards in the red zone.

 

[bison13]

I assumed this was not Tennessee Knoxville but rather middle Tennessee state or someone. Tennessee was so bad the first month that I didn't figure any way they were 500.

yep. So dumb

 

[OhioLion]

IU could be the dumbest team I’ve watched this bowl season.
Moving the ball well, and go to trick plays.
clock management already discussed.

[kijanacat]

Really dislike UTenn. As much as the Wolverettes. Go Hoosiers

 

[OhioLion]

yep. So dumb

I wish I could type faster on my phone. I poke with my index finger.
Apologies for the repeat comment.

OL

 

[Chickenman Testa]

So many people in the UT crowd look like they ignored the Soviet authorities order to leave the Chernobyl hot zone.

A bunch of inbred hilljacks

 

[katchthis]

I was hanging with Fonzie . He described some of the TN fans as Ruff.

 

[Sproul]

Lol at that onside kick. Embarrassing

 

[meanmiJ01]

How were they not waiting on that possibility

 

[JoeBot409]

Lol at that onside kick. Embarrassing

Nice execution

 

[psualt]

Poor coaching not to be ready for that kick. They only had a few guys up front

 

[psu00]

Wow. Indiana just quit playing when up 22-9. Lousy play calling and weak prevent D thinking it’s over. Now TN gets a TD, the onside kick, and they’re about to drive for the winning TD with 4 minutes left.
