The Gamblin’ Man FINAL 10/16/21

Sometimes you’re the bug.

L. FT NC State(-1) 33 BC 7
L. OU(-11.5) leads TCU 45-31 with two minutes and change left AND they have the ball on the Christian 6. Not giving up but I’m calling that a loss.
W’ing (but think I’m gonna L) Miss(-1) 31 Tenn. 26, 11:47 4Q.

Assuming the Lane Train makes its unscheduled stop in Knoxville, I finish -15 on the day. Which BLOWS. But I had fun blowing.

GAME DELAYED MS 31(-1) TN 26. :54 seconds left. Mississippi with the ball.

Tennessee-Mississippi is now in a delay and non-football personnel are fleeing the field

Cops have been hit by water bottles

Announcers are now talking about a rule involving suspension of the game involving cops

Surreal

The Tennessee vs Mississippi game is ridiculous. Cheerleaders are having to run off the field and the band is leaving because Tennessee fans are acting like Toronto Blue Jays fans.

Tennessee is what people say Mississippi is. Trash behavior going on right now

I am absolutely stunned. Officially, there are :54 seconds left. Ole Miss had the ball 2nd and 13 at their 38, leading 31-26. Tennessee fans are OUT OF FUCKING CONTROL. @mstatessports is right on, Tennessee football fans are trash. They are endangering people's safety who have had to flee the field and take cover. The Tennessee football program should be penalized, forefeit games, starting with this one, play in an empty stadium. This is soccer hooliganism! 

I'm not waiting for this frigging nonsense to clear. Mississippi, barring a catastrophic turnover, was going to win the game and cover the spread. I'm counting it a W..I cannot believe what I am reading o Twitter. Oh! Now the game has resumed. Same score :03 seconds left. But now Tennessee has the ball 3rd and 10 at the Miss. 21! FT TN 26 MS 31.
That's a photo of a Mississippi player and his cheerleader sweetheart after a game in a different time, the'50's or 60's. What we have come to. My goodness.



Bottom line: -5 for the day.

Somethin's gotta be done on Rocky Top. That was an UTTER disgrace to college football and to life on the Tennessee campus. Simply OUTRAGEOUS.
That's right, brother. That's what they are and that's where they belong.

A fun night at Neyland Stadium ended in a shameful display by Tennessee Vols football fans late in the game against Ole Miss  on Saturday. 

Tennessee fans littered the Neyland Stadium field with debris for several minutes following Ole Miss' game-clinching defensive stop with 54 seconds to play. 

Tennessee's own cheerleaders left the field for the final minute to avoid debris, while Ole Miss stepped onto the field to create space between the team and the stands. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin was hit with a golf ball. Play on the field has been stopped for at least 15 minutes, and a forfeit warning was issued inside of Neyland Stadium.
