Tennessee Vols vs. Arkansas Razorbacks: 2nd half game thread

Email
PrintSo Arkansas nabs the top two plays on Sportscenter tonight, continuing to prove Vol fans wrong that we've seen it all and that more different bad things can't happen, and those two plays roughly equate to the two TD lead. But looky here. That super potent offense has only 5 more yards than ours. And WE HAVE MORE PASSING YARDS. Put that in our own bizarro category. And look at that TOP.
Perhaps most importantly, doesn't it seem like we've already seen the weekly Catastrophe in the first half rather than the second and that we rode that out and re-found our feet? That provides some hope going into the second half. And yet, it is the second half, and we should know better than to think we've seen it all and that more different bad things can't happen. But let's go ahead and embrace that "this one feels different" right now. It's why we're still here, right?

That’s how it works, right? Calling dibs?
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

punt return yards really should be added as offensive yards.
And kickoff return yards should be added based on gain relative to the 20 yard line. That would help the stats line up more frequently.

There’s nothing wrong with criticism on this site. We do insist on respect. It’s sometimes easy to think that criticism has to be rude, but it doesn’t.
We’ve had several conversations about coaching. Heading to find Will’s definitive post on it. It’s not coaching. Tackling was definitely a problem in this game, and part of that is coaching, but the real problem is much deeper than that.

I love Will's writing, love it.
Sensible, factual, and great with words. And some good points are made there.
However, when I read that Derek Dooley has nothing to do with it, I can’t take that fully seriously. I see issues with effort and fundamentals, and to me that resonates with the coaching staff.

Some of it has to go back to Dooley, definitely
And I don’t think that’s really the argument. The argument is, more, there’s yet to be a sensible situation where we can really blame Dooley for the team’s struggles. There’s always been something, from horrible depth at some key positions, to injuries, to flukey plays.

Fair point
I just think that losing itself can have a negative impact on effort and fundamentals and a host of other things. As can superior competition. It’s certainly something that needs to be mitigated to the extent possible, but I don’t think getting rid of it entirely in the midst of extreme adversity is very realistic.
I think we’ll get there. I don’t know if Dooley is right long term or if he is, as the ’Bama folks are saying, our Mike Shula — the guy who holds things together until we can get the blue chip. There is no doubt, in my mind anyway, that he is the right guy for now at least.

I’m seriously disappointed in Dooley’s ability to get the team’s heads back in the game after negative plays. We’re going toe to toe with big boys for a little while, but we have a glass jaw, and that’s not changed yet. I can forgive injuries or lack of depth, but this is concerning.

I think it's this, too.
There’s not much you can point to specifically and say ‘No, it isn’t Dooley, see?’ which is why the ‘big win’ he hasn’t got is so important. With Kiffin we could point to the Georgia game and feel good. For rational fans, we can point to the first halves in almost every big game. We can point to LSU and UNC last year. We can point to recruiting. We can note injuries. Next year will determine a lot, I think, in our fanbase.

when we lost Bray and Hunter
the team stopped believing. and i’m not trying to insult the team, but when you lose one of the best receivers in college football and one of the best qb’s in the offense, there’s really not much to believe in on offense….
that's fair
but practically speaking, you need to believe in yourselves even when there’s no reason to.
I wonder if Dooley is too honest sometimes.

As several folks were saying earlier, losing Hunter was about more than just losing Hunter. It destroyed the passing game by removing the key cog in the machine. It wasn’t just Hunter, it was the synergy between Hunter and Da’Rick. We now know that Da’Rick is okay, but he’s not elite by himself. Hunter may not have been, either.
Losing Bray on top of that was just cruel.

I don’t care for Sam’s Summer or Boston Lager, but their Octoberfest, Black Lager, and Winter Lager are all among my favorite beers.
I’m not familiar with Stone, North Coast, or Stoudt’s. I’ve tried some of the local Northeast stuff, but none of those names sound familiar.

Stone is up there with Rogue
as in someone who is familiar with craft beer has had at least one Stone beer likely. North Coast makes Old Rasputin (and other beers), one of the better beers out there. Stoudts is a regional brewery from PA.
Ironically, you named as some of your favorites 2 of my favorite Sam Adams beers (their Oktoberfest and Winter Lager)
if you live in the K-Town area, try the discount liquor store in the cedar Bluff area (by the golf shop that’s going out of business). they’ve got a pretty good selection.
I'm a UNC student right now
so no local K-town stuff
I guess I had more New England beers than NY/PA stuff

ehh
NY, New England, the same… over in UNC (i’ll guess grad school, but who knows), try any of the “rarer” sweetwaters, dogfish head (from up in Delaware) and you should have pretty good access to Rogue, Stone, and North Coast at dedicated beer stores.
or you could just brew your own. i’m starting to do that and it’s very rewarding.
one of these days, I need to learn this
summer project? perhaps
and yes, grad school. I see Dogfishhead all over the place, but it’s usually their IPA, and I’m just not a huge IPA guy.

60 minute?
great beer. one of the better unfiltered ipa’s out there.
I’d actually start brewing in the middle of winter. temperature has very, very strong effects on the resulting beer, and since normally the required equipment (Mr. Beer has a fairly decent equipment set) is fairly pricey as a capital investment, the additional fermentation temp. control adds up in cost.
if you really want to learn about craft beer, you have to go to stores that specifically sell beer ant not much else. Though I’d try Natty greene’s (especially their winter ale when that comes out)
see, I'm on an academic calendar
so free time in the summer vs. free time in the winter is a big factor.
my house is air conditioned, that should work, right?
and there’s a store just off the Duke campus called Sam’s Quik Stop that sells exclusively beer and is fantastic. just so hard to absorb all the information in such a short period of time

it's more about a relatively constant temperatue that's <70
if you have 1 day during the weekend to cook soup (even if it’s during a football game), that’s all it really takes, + an hour weekly or so to transfer to secondary and then bottles.
I turned 21 just over a year ago, and i started learning more about craft beer by keeping “reviews” (in binders) of all the beers i tried. like the flavors, appearance, what I thought about the beer, etc. it’s surprisingly effective in forcing one to leran like, what flavors one should expect form Cascade hops, for instance.
yeah, I figure that having a day during the weekend is just fine
once you know how to do it. it’s learning in the first place that I was hoping to do as a summer project. hope to get some kinks out before autumn and winter come and bring in all my favorite styles.
I turned 21 three years ago and have been slowly expanding, starting with Blue Moon (the pseudo-craft that seems to get many people interested in craft beer) and progressing to the Duck-Rabbit’s and Allagash’s. I tend to scour the beer advocate reviews for everything I drink, but I don’t keep track as much as you have, so I still have plenty to learn.

and I usually keep my house at 73 during the summer
I don’t imagine it’d cost me too much to drop it down a couple degrees while brewing

ehh.
the actual art of brewing a beer is relatively simple. I do have a soft spot for Blue moon. The only thing is that warmer temperatures = issues. http://www.howtobrew.com/intro.html is actually a really good place to start (though if you’re familiar with cooking i’d start with the partial mash/specialty grain)
I'm the kind of guy that likes a lot of downtime when I'm learning something for the first time
once I know how to do something, I’ll do it when I have a couple hours free. but when I’m learning, I set it up as a project for a week break. which I won’t really have until summer, as Christmas and spring break are already booked up.
are you thinking that regular central AC won’t do the job though? it keeps my house plenty cool, I figure a dark, internal, AC’d closet would work fine no matter what the season.
but thanks for the info

well it does take some time
look up how to build a wort chiller. that’s made my brewing much, much easier than it coudl be otherwise. but the original step in brewing (the actual brew process) is very time-dependent. I like thinking of it like it’s soup. you don’t cook soup for an hour then let it sit for a week, you cook it till it’s done then stick it in the fridge.
I keep telling myself, one of these days
one of these days, it’ll be that day

I'm a sucker for a good IPA
It’s why Stone and Dogfish are probably my 2 favorite breweries.

I have no trouble finding Stone around here.
When Dogfish Head stopped shipping to Tennessee, that was one of the worst days of my life.

because they beat Oregon handily

first 0-6 start in SEC play
also, last five SEC opponents’ average ranking: 8.4. And that’ll only go up this week. They all won, and all but Carolina won handily.

gotta disagree that Georgia won "handily"
until the last 10 minutes or so, UT coudl very well have won that game.
45-7

which is why they’ll be ranked higher next week
