^11^ alabama @ ^16^ Tennessee - The Third Saturday in October

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are the cigars a Smoky/Great Smoky Mountains thing? If so, I get it, but there is nothing quite so eye-rollingly bougie as 20-year-olds lighting up a stogie in a golf-shirt. 🀣

GG, Vols. Y'all are uglying your way to a good year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Saturday_in_October#Victory_cigars

In the 1950s, Jim Goostree, the head athletic trainer for Alabama, began another tradition as he began handing out cigars following a victory over the Volunteers.[10] Both teams continued the tradition for some time, though kept it secret due to NCAA rules concerning extra benefits and tobacco products. Alabama publicly restarted the tradition in 2005, though as a result, self-reported an NCAA violation.[11] Every year since 2007, the winner of the Alabama–Tennessee game knowingly violates the NCAA rule and reports the violation in honor of tradition.[12]

Edit: lmao they've already updated the 2024 results

Ahh, there we go. I should have known that an eye-rollingly bougie CFB tradition would have started at Bama. 🀣

LETS FUCKING GO, YOUR LITTLE PISSBABY ANTI TEMPO BULLSHIT CAN'T STOP THE HEUP TRAIN BABYEEEEEEEEEE

Not sure I disagree with Bama having gone for this. You need a three and out either way, it's just that you're likely down 7 instead of 4 if you pull it off. OT/2pt is arguably a small price to pay for one more play where you control your destiny.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hadn't really thought about it that way, but you're honestly right. I guess I'm still hoping that we break one and make it an 11 point game

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Interception is close enough? LOL

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

WE'LL FUCKING TAKE IT

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Bama's defense is the softer of the two and tends to give up yards and points. I don't know why Vol's O just hasn't gotten untracked here.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I like aggressive play calling, but that was BONKERS

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I was just thinking it was about time for Milroe to make a red zone mistake, lol

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Milroe is about 4 years away from being a good passer.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF ALABAMA

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Milroe's design runs just don't work. I don't know why they keep running it. It's always telegraphed.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is this the ugliest top 15 matchup of all time?

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You forgot SEC games from 10 years ago, or the Big10 from not long ago? Running and defense all day games? Yea.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah but those were low scoring by design, this is just...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

THAT WAS FUCKING SHORT

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS I NEVER DOUBTED YOU

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Dog we better spend literally the entire off week doing nothing but throwing full speed bombs

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I STILL DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF ALABAMA

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I say go for it Josh, 2 yards for the ballgame

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah Pearce got away with one there

Agreed. Close to the end of the game so it has some influence, but there is still enough time on the clock that Alabama still gets another drive as we are seeing now
