TENNESSEE
Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt confirmed after the brutal 47-21 loss to Florida that a Tennessee player did indeed leave the field during the game.
Rumors were circulating during the game that Quart’e Sapp had quit the team. Pruitt was asked about it during his post-game press conference, and Pruitt said he asked Sapp to go in the game, and he refused. Therefore, Pruitt asked him to leave.
RELATED: Everything Jeremy Pruitt said after loss to Florida
“Since I’ve been here, Quart’e has been a very good ambassador for the game, done everything we’ve asked him to do,” Pruitt said. “He left the field during the game because he wouldn’t go into the game when he was asked to go in. I don’t know how things were done before but when you tell someone to go in, they refuse to go in, we aren’t going to do that around here. I asked him to leave. He didn’t leave on his own, I asked him to leave.”
Pruitt was then asked if Sapp was still on the team.
“Well, I don’t think right now is the time to discuss that but to me, there’s no secrets. It is what it is.”
Anytime new head coaches take over programs, there will be growing pains, but this certainly doesn’t happen much.
Sapp refused to go in the game, and Pruitt wasn’t having any of it.
Tennessee’s head coach made sure everyone knows who’s the boss, as he asked Sapp to leave the field immediately.
lol this team is a joke
Kinda like every one of your posts?
Appreciate you, man. Good game for y’all, we absolutely blew it
Tennessee has a long road in front of them but given time they will be good.
Come on man.. what would any head coach do? Pruitt is not Butch Jones, and UT will be better for that. You can’t tolerate insubordination, and he didn’t.
I think Pruitt will do just fine at UT, but it’s going to be rough for awhile.
I’m a UGA man and always have been. No offense but this is exactly the attitude of THE MARK RICHT era!!! Nice, decent man and good coach. But his team’s were NOT always ready to play. That’s why they lost so many they should have WON!!! TAKING THE OPPONENT LIGHTLY might be the WORST ERROR in college football HISTORY!!!!
I heard TENNESSEE turned the ball over 6 or 7 times!!!! If that is correct then eliminate the turnovers and it’s a whole other game!!!
A JOKE??? I’m not sure they are the same team as last season!!! Don’t forget a win over UGA turns their whole season around!!! They are HOPING AND PRAYING THAT THE TEAM THINKS THEIR A JOKE!!!!!
You see, THAT IS THEIR BEST CHANCE!!!!! UGA is still extremely young!!! I believe we are as good if not BETTER THAN ADVERTISED!!! I believe that because I believe the youth will GROW UP!!!! They are growing with every game.
BUT LETS HOPE THEY ARE NOT READING ” RAT POISON ” LIKE THIS AND BELIEVING IT!!!!!
It’s NOT good to tell a young team or ANY TEAM how good they are!!!! UGA fans should HOPE THEY ARE LISTENING TO THE COACH. Wouldn’t it be terrible if this JOKE came in to our place and PLAYED BETTER and beat us, God forbid???
Tennessee is Not OLD DOMINION, they are BETTER!!!! Yet that 0-3. 4 TD UNDERDOG team named OLD DOMINION just BEAT VA TECH BY 2 SCORES!!!! Va Tech was at minimum a 4 TD favorite!!! Tennessee would probably beat OLD DOMINION by 3 or 4 TDS!!!!! If I’m not mistaken Va Tech beat OLD DOMINION about 38-0 last season. I’m pretty sure that was the score!!!
Any great team is GREAT FOR A BUNCH OF REASONS. Only one of which is NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, UNDERESTIMATE ANOTHER TEAM!!! Again, Tennessee is making MISTAKES like the ones UGA made in 2016 when we came DARNED CLOSE TO LOSING. To a team called Nicholls State!!! But we also BEAT highly ranked Auburn the same year. Not to mention SHOULD HAVE BEATEN TENNESSEE!!!! I call it as I see it!!!!!
Like with Bama the REFS gave all those late penalty yards THAT WERE TICKY TACKY AT BEST, and darn right DIRTY on the other hand!!!
They HANDCUFFED UGA. They were afraid to DEFEND THE PASS PROPERLY ON THAT MIRACLE JOSH DOBBS BS PASS!!!! They were RIGHTFULLY afraid of another 15 yard penalty. That would have put them in field goal range. I don’t recall the exact score. But I believe a field goal would have beaten us wouldn’t it??? I don’t recall. Either way. Winning Field goal or TD pass. BOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH EASIER WITH ANOTHER CONVENIENT 15 yard penalty!!!
The UGA player that was flagged had I believe his TOE ON THE FIELD of play WHEN HE REMOVED HIS HELMET??? Without that 15 yards FORGET THE HAIL MARY PRAYER PASS!!!!
Just another reminder of THE REFS. The REFS in UGA stadium seem to favor other teams. I can understand, even though it’s WRONG REFS wanting to please the home crowd. BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS FOR UGA!!!!!!!
IF A PENALTY IS CALLED IN FAVOR OF UGA, YOU CAN BET 6 or 7 WERE NO-CALLS IN FAVOR OF THE OTHER TEAM!!!!! I’m SHOCKED whenever I see a CLEAN REF in a UGA game!!! They always call against UGA. Last season THE REFS COST US THE NATIONAL TITLE!!!! UGA WAS the better team PERIOD!!!! Also a little reminder for you GUMPS BELOW!!!! You could STEAL THE NATIONAL TITLE GAME with the help of your best friends THE REFS. Still REMEMBER, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE THE REIGNING ….SEE BELOW
UGA SEC ” CHAMPIONS ”
PS. I guess since AUBURN SPANKED ALABAMA IN THE IRON BOWL. Well I suppose that makes THE ALABAMA GUMPS, THE REIGNING 3rd PLACE TEAM IN THE SEC!!!!
But honestly now. EVEN IF THE REFS DID CHEAT. Isn’t it just AMAZING THAT THE 3rd PLACE TEAM IN THE SEC WERE CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS???
AND YET..
AND YET, THE MIGHTY BIG 10..
That AWESOME incredible invincible, BIG 10 did not even have a team to represent themselves. IN THE PLAYOFF THEY BEGGED FOR!!!!!
Yes, isn’t that what THE SEC always heard??? Every year some BIG 10 CRYBABY WOULD SAY. ” LETS SETTLE IT ON THE FIELD! ”
ISN’T THAT ALL WE IN THE SEC EVER HEARD???? The big 10, the big 12 or the umm. WHAT DIVISION ARE THE WASHINGTON PUPPIES IN AGAIN??? The team auburn just beat without having their best day??? Anyway, everybody was always going to beat THE SEC!!! ONCE WE HAD A PLAYOFF THAT WOULD BE IT!!!! No more SEC dominance!!!!
Well with the 3rd place SEC team being DECLARED as the champions, right or wrong. Still you have to ask yourself. If your in these other conferences. WAS THE PLAYOFF REALLY SUCH A GOOD IDEA???
I got news for you. THE ONLY REASON THEIR IS A COMMITTEE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IS TO SEE THAT THE BIG 10 and others don’t get LEFT OUT!!! But as you see. YOU LEAVE THEM NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE YOU OUT IF WERE PLAYING FAIR!!!!!
If OSU would have gotten that LAST SPOT that the 3rd place SEC team got. Then it wouldn’t even have been a close game!!!!! I doubt OSU gets past clemson. Last time it wasn’t pretty. 31-0 or 38-0 whatever it was. I do remember the OSU SCORE. That’s easy, it was 0!!!!!
But if by SOME MIRACLE Urban Cryer and his team, or is it Urban Liar??? I can’t remember right now. Either way. It’s just a darn good thing that bama took that spot.
Listen FELLOW UGA FANS. You and I know that had OSU and the Cryer liars made it in. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEATING OF THE CENTURY!!! MAYBE THE MOST LOPSIDED WIN EVER!!!! UGA WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO SCORE AND OSU maybe 3 if their lucky!!!! Final UGA 59 OSU 3 and I’m being charitable both ways!!!!!
BUT THAT WOULDNT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY BEATING!!!!!
THEN MANY ON THE OSU COACHING STAFF WOULD HAVE WENT HOME AND BEAT UP THEIR WIVES, AND MAYBE THEIR DOGS TO!!!! So it’s a good thing it never happened. Because then Urban would have been suspended against the next wimpy team on their schedule. They would probably make it a suspension where he could PICK THE TEAM and of course avoid the Penn state game LOL.
Only I bet it’s like this. AS A RESULT OF MULTIPLE WIFE BEATINGS. OSU MUST MISS THE PENN STATE GAME THIS SEASON. But will not be counted as a LOSS. Rather THE NCAA has ruled that the game be declared a TIE!!!
That’s the kind of TOUGH LOVE that Urban Liar would get.

Nebraska and Tennessee: two similar fanbases getting exactly what they deserve.
?!? You obviously need a tampon…
Florida, Georgia and Alabama also have passionate fan bases. What do they deserve?
You idiot.
As for UGA they deserve the national title they were robbed of last season by 25 bad calls and NO-CALLS by the REFS!!! As for the gators they deserve Dan Mullen in all his glory!!! As for bama, they deserve to lose for about 20 years to make up for all Sabans’ evil!!!!!
PS. AND NOW, IT BEGINS!!!!

For one thing UGA deserves the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP that was stolen from them last season by the refs!!! I don’t think all TENNESSEE FANS are bad. But face it. MANY SIGNS WERE CREATED BY SOME TENNESSEE FANS. CELEBRATING NICK CHUBBS’ INJURY!!!! An injury that was caused by A DIRTY OUT OF BOUNDS HIT!!!
Nick Chubb is a CREDIT TO THE WORLD not just UGA!!!! To think if he was not who he is. That injury could have ENDED his career!!! A career he worked his ass off for!!!
He wanted to get enough money to buy land and help people that needed help in his community.
THOSE TENNESSEE FANS THAT CELEBRATED CHUBBS’ INJURY. THEY CAN GO VOLUNTEER TO SUCK ON A DOGS HEMORRHOID FOR ALL I CARE!!!
But to the many decent people and fans that I know are in Tennessee. I wish you the best except against UGA LOL. I actually love spending time in Tennessee. It’s a nice place. Pruitt may not have the best personality but I believe his way is the right way!!!!
I still believe Fat Phil Fulmer wants his job in a bad way!!!!
Gotta get rid of the cancers.
Jeremy Pruitt has a mess on his hands. It’ll take a long while to build it the way he wants it maybe the fans will give him time.
Most of us like Pruitt. The team just has no fight. They give up and some of the practice footage looks like they’re half assing it. That’s players.
Crichvol, I think this is right. Culture change is hard, and Pruitt is bringing a MASSIVE culture change to UT. The key is to understand that HIS players will love him once he gets them in place. You get some successes under your belt, and watch what happens. Buy In will come. Right now, it’s not there.
Pruitt is a redneck tard. Nuff said. In his words “aight”.
Pruitt is a redneck tard??? I’m no Pruitt fan. But I would like to know who the person is calling him a REDNECK TARD?? Because it makes a difference!!! For example. Black people SHOULD NEVER USE THE WORD REDNECK. Not in reference to white people.
That’s like white people using the N word it’s just bad and wrong!!! I don’t think white people look good acting like black people either!!!! To me it makes them seem goofy. I don’t mean a little slang talk. I mean you know the whole deal that’s hard to put it words.
I mean black people look right acting black. Black folks culture is different than whites. Not better or worse, only different!! I honestly think even black folks think it looks and sounds completely stupid when a white man is going overboard to be black!!!!!
BE WHOEVER YOU REALLY ARE AND BE PROUD OF THAT!!!!
Also REDNECKS should NEVER CALL PEOPLE REDNECKS LOL “aight”
Since I’m NOT a redneck ill say it. Pruitt is a REDNECK LMAO!!! Hey, I do like redneck women though!!!!! Come to think of it. I like any good looking woman as long as she is sweet!!!

Hey Oskie, If your a Tennessee fan it could get a whole lot worse!!! You could get Fat Phillip Fulmer if you run Pruitt out of town. Then you would have a REDNECK who is also FAT LOL. And worse than that, CAUGHT UP IN YESTERDAYS GAME!!!!! Or you could get Willie Taggart who has a LIFETIME LOSING RECORD!!!!
Trust me and I KNOW FOOTBALL!!! I won’t promise you that Pruitt is gonna work out at Tennessee. But he is the best coach Tennessee has had in 20 years!!!!
PS. That is if he can control his temper. And if those GOOFY PAMPERED PLAYERS can figure out who the boss it!!!!

Or maybe they won’t!!!!!! Let’s hope Fat Phill is licking his chops. I mean he’s already in sweats at practices. He has a clipboard in hand with a full practice schedule. SEEMS LIKE TO ME THAT FULMER HAS HIRED HIMSELF!!!!!!
Anyone ever thought. Maybe Fulmer is putting a little in each players ear. To cause trouble on the team?? Even a wrong look or rolling his eyes when Pruitt tries to discipline players. That would be enough!!! Maybe constantly reminding players and coaches how it WAS WHEN ” HIS TEAM ” WON THE NATIONAL TITLE??? Remember how many fans thought he undermined Johnny Magors before him??? He already implied he wanted to coach the team!!! But hey, he was fired for a reason. Anyone remember that??? He may have hired Pruitt hoping he would get hot headed and quit himself!!!! Leaving Tennessee in another coaching search that almost destroyed them. Or HIRE FULMER!!!!
ITS CONVENIENT IF YOU ASK ME!!!!!

I feel bad for Pruitt…i dont think he knew just how bad of shape UT was in. UT is truly a dumpster fire.
I would leave too. Pruitt is a bigger DA than B*tch Friggin Jones. Hope
he skips town soon. Screw him and the Haslams.
We’ll see y’all in Athens this Saturday. After the way we played today, you’ll see a different Dawgs team come game time. They’ll be out to make a point.
Maybe you’ll get your wish. Then Phillip Fuller will be in again. AND FIRED AGAIN!!! You better leave well enough alone!!!

This reminds me of all the comedy shows where the boss says, “Quit?!? You can’t quit… because you’re FIRED!”
Tennessee has a ways to go. I was at the WV Tennessee game in Charlotte and it seemed as though conditioning may be the issue as the Mountaineers had their hands full in the first half.
Speedster, Good observation. Except, it’s not CONDITIONING. It’s DEPTH!!! I don’t care who you are. A defense can’t play all night without breaking. Not if your playing the starters the whole game!!!
If your sending in mass subs that stink, it will look like conditioning when it’s really nonquality depth!!!! Pruitt is trying to do it like Georgia and bama. But he don’t have the quality depth that UGA or BAMA has. When they do mass subs it’s like the starters are still in the game!!!
Still good observation on your part though. THEY DID HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL!!!! That’s why I don’t want UGA overlooking Tennessee!!!!

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving program. This is great.
I’m no fan of Tennessee, but this isn’t good for SEC football. This isn’t Pruitt’s team. He inherited this sh*tburger and he’s trying to make something of it. A few more public executions like this and kids will get the message.
Couldnt agree more.^^ College Football doesnt need a trend of players just quitting on their team in the middle of a game as well.
No it’s not good for SEC football. But I’m okay with it considering the SEC is BACK!!! In case you missed it. The 3rd place team in the SEC was awarded the national title last season!!! The so-called big 10 didn’t have a single team good enough to make it in the playoff!!!
All this talk of the big 10 being the better conference came from a short streak of meaningless bowl wins. 1 year I might add!!! But the season has only gotten started. But most of the SEC has been DOMINANT, except against other SEC powers!!!
Mississippi state was unbeaten and looking dominant until Kentucky beat them 28-7!!! Kentucky also gave florida their only loss. Although I’m hoping Mississippi state is gonna change that!!! Kentucky is UNBEATEN!!!
The SEC is BACK!!!! We never left!!!! Just a bit of a down time. AN ALL SEC NATIONAL TITLE GAME, surely did not signal the SEC is dead!!!! Remember, Alabama had a good record overall. But still only 3rd place in the SEC!!!! If everybody was a dominant team the whole SEC would be in trouble. We are dominant outside the division!!! But we don’t want to be so good that we never have a single playoff team!!!
We don’t want CUPCAKE KILLERS like OSU and Wisconsin making the playoff and NO SEC teams because we all beat each other!!! That wouldn’t be right!!!!

I cant grasp telling a Coach no im not going in. Youre on Scholarship to play Football son. When the player refused to go in he quit on his team right then and there. So good for Coach Pruitt. Dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya son. Start kicking rocks.
Rocky flop Tennessee – watching the sad faces of those hillbillies in the stands never get old. Always stuns me how much smack the vols fans talk in the offseason and game week….13 out of 14 losers, you were bettter off with butch
Oh, shutup. Your program is just as much garbage too. At least we aren’t out targeting people’s QBs.
Lol no. We’re miles ahead of you, as evidenced by that whooping we just gave you and the fact you’ve beaten us once in 14 years. Didn’t you try to hire Dan Mullen. UF owns UT in everything but women’s basketball and offseason trash talking.
Sorry, slightly better trash than our program.
Your no longer MILES ahead!!! Have you looked at the 2019 recruiting rankings??? Tennessee is relevant there!!! I’m a dawgs fan!!!
Your miles behind UGA, and after this year. You got nothing!!! This is make or break!!! Make or break for the gators. Personally I think you’ll break!!! But it does not matter. Because next year YOU GOT NOTHING!!!!! Thanks to Mullens wonderful recruiting!!!
So I wouldn’t be poking fun of Tennessee if I were you. That one loss in 14 years was under butch jones. They will pass you under Pruitt!!!! If he is given the chance!!! If not bye bye rockytop!!!

I think Pruitt did the right thing. Back in the 80’s when Pat Dye came to Auburn, he ran a lot of guys off with his toughness, but it paid off. Should be the same for UT.
Tenn hasn’t been relevant since 98.they aren’t a top tier program anymore.these kids have never seen Tenn win the East lol,so stop acting like they are.
Good morning everybody, it’s game day and I’m up early raring to watch college football. How’s everyone doing? Other than your own game which ones are you most looking forward to? God bless…
