Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl Open Thread
North Carolina vs Tennessee in what is certain to be a game we're all talking about 20 years from now. Enjoy.
FWIW, I'm a huge fan of (checks) Tennessee here. Go Vols!
Drink every time you see Ben Franklin's face. That said, don't drink too much, because the Bridgeport Education Holiday Bowl is coming up next and might include talk of "Leaders" and "Legends." If either are mentioned in context with the Big 10's divisions, drink a bottle of Everclear, get naked, and burn a metal folding chair.

Leading with your head. What a jackass. Good call on the penalty.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:17 PM ^
Its it me or does Tennessee's jerseys seem lighter, more of a yellow shade than normal? Its not even close to the shade of orange on their helmets
December 30th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
Wait, is the penalty enforced from the line of scrimmage or the spot of the foul? If its not a catch, is it not a penalty?
December 30th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
But could that be ruled a completed catch (his foot was down), followed by a fumble (upon the hit) w/ no change of possession
December 30th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
Very late hit. How does the ref miss that?
December 30th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
At least today's games are more fun than yesterday's.
<br>
<br>But that was stupid way to end it.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
What a stupid call
December 30th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
Butch Davis is a slack-jawed moron.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
how amazing was that - nc's coach to M anyone?
might get a second to go.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
How the hell does UT keep getting in these "who is less dumb" type games?
December 30th, 2010 at 10:23 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
anybody else feel like the B1G refs sucked in this game? Only watched the end, but they seemed incompetent to me.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
they are doing a good job of making the right calls its just that the head ref sounds like a moron when he is explaining the ruling.
December 30th, 2010 at 11:36 PM ^
yeah, this is more of what I meant. I think they did end up making the right calls, but they seemed like they were in over their heads during the part of the game I watched.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
Butch Davis at clock management or Big Ten refs at competency?
December 30th, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
wow...WOW
December 30th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
Isn't that 15 yds?
EDIT: Only 5
December 30th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
This is total backyard 8 year old football. Everybody keeps calling do-overs.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
.....and we thought our special teams were a clusterfukk.
I believe John Lansing Smith would like to have a word with NC's special teams coach.
(this, of course, is relevant to the PRE-successful FG kick).
December 30th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
That's a huge pressure kick. No matter how dumb UNC was at the end of the game, give the kicker credit for getting them to overtime.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
This is crazy.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
The clock does not stop the moment the ball hits the turf - it stops when the ref signals it to stop.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
That's why I thought the game should be done.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
Derek Dooley is experiencing deja vu...first at LSU, now here..
December 30th, 2010 at 10:29 PM ^
Wasn't paying that much attention but
1. There was no penalty on that last snap,,,too many people on the field or illegal procedure?
2, Isnt there a loss of time if offense commits a penalty in last minute.
Maybe i missed somthing
December 30th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
The loss of time rule is NFL only.
December 30th, 2010 at 11:49 PM ^
I think it may apply to college too, but the spike stopped the clock so there would be no 10 second runoff right?
EDIT: Nevermind, there is no runoff in college. That rule needs to change.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:29 PM ^
wow this is the stupidest ending to a football game i have ever seen.
that jackson kid should have been kicked out of the game. i know that there was only 25 seconds left but its the principle of that matter. he came in with his head down and speared that NC player in the back of the head with no regard for human life, not even his own.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
There were two more late hits that drive as well....but it's Butch and he is worse than Les Miles in these situations!!
<br>
<br>Dooley is a freaking idiot!!!
December 30th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Who says these bowl games are meaningless????
December 30th, 2010 at 10:30 PM ^
Wouldn't they have run off the clock for getting the penalty while spiking it?
December 30th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
fitting
December 30th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
If NC won the toss, put U-T on O, and pushes them WAY back.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
I got defensive pass interferenc
December 30th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Now a facemask. This game is one big hot mess.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
but I hate the SEC. Plus after those late hits go Tar Heels.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
Nice.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:37 PM ^
Bray needs a haircut and a spanking.
December 30th, 2010 at 10:39 PM ^
December 30th, 2010 at 10:40 PM ^
Great game but need SEC to lose
