Tennessee fans react to Florida clinching the SEC East
Tennessee is out of the running for the SEC East.
Florida clinched the division against LSU, turning out an incredible goal-line stand in the final seconds of the game in Baton Rouge. A Gators loss would have given the Volunteers a chance to win the East with victories against Missouri today and Vanderbilt next Saturday.
The game turned into a roller coaster of emotions for fans of Tennessee, Florida and LSU alike. The Tigers marched 74 yards on their final drive and seemed poised to score before falling short at the goal line.
Naturally, Vols fans were not happy on social media.
#Vols student section chanting “LSU! LSU! LSU!"

I knew it was you, @LSUfootball. You broke my heart. #VOLS

LSU must have Debord as their offensive coordinator. Terrible last call. #VOLS

Hate not going to ATL but wasn't looking forward to another Bama thrashing either. Good luck with that, Gators #Vols

See you all at the Georgia Dome – Next year to open the season against Ga Tech. #Vols

However, there might be one silver lining for Tennessee:
When Florida gets blown out by Bama will 9-3 Vols get the Sugar Bowl bid? I think they might.
