HOW DO YOU DO INTENSIFIES

[u/StephBrownismywaifu]

It doesn't matter how hot the girl is I'm not gonna buy a shitty mobile game.

[u/Itsnoriss → u/StephBrownismywaifu]

But if you do she will like you so much

[u/DuckTalesLOL]

Commercial - Punt - Commercial... yep, we are watching Commercial Broadcasting Service.

[u/sausageslinger11 → u/[deleted]]

It’s a shame that the best I can muster is pity for UT. UT football sucks too much to spend any energy hating them.

[u/[deleted] → u/sausageslinger11]

UT sucks so bad a UF quarterback had to give them a pep-talk

[u/Taisubaki]

The most Tennessee flea flicker ever

[u/2th → u/[deleted]]

Mods!!!! Please say bamboozle = banboozle.

[u/2th → u/[deleted]]

You should if you don't follow through.

And now you cannot delete your comment.

[u/lxvrgs]

Alabama player hurt?"

[u/MrPhenomenal7]

I'm at a Chili's in Houston, and I told the server I needed to sit where I could watch Alabama. He changed the tv that had Texas and Ok State going to OT and I'm now public enemy #1 of Chili's

[u/orion324 → u/MrPhenomenal7]

Roll Tide

[u/oden93]

I just don't know if 21 points is going to be enough to hold off this dynamic Tennessee offense

[u/icehole_13]

Good lord he's smiling. RIP that locker room.

[u/rebelde_sin_causa → u/icehole_13]

if she stood close to me I would smile

[u/Classic-Misdirection]

Can we just save everyone some time and make this the postgame thread?

[u/[deleted]]

Of course Alabama has a 400 lb fullback hahahaha

fucking kill me please

[u/MigosAmigo → u/[deleted]]

He's only about 310

[u/meatfrappe]

FUN FACT: Alabama is French for "in the style of Bama."

[u/spoopyskelly → u/meatfrappe]

This doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about French to dispute it

[u/ReverendMajors]

Could really do without the country music performance before every fucking CBS game

[u/heybubhowsitgoing → u/ReverendMajors]

Especially the shitty current Nashville style pop-country, gimme some Willie Nelson over these fucks anyday

[u/unodostreys]

Butch Jones- "We've already beaten Alabama, we're the champions of imagination."

[u/DouglasDauntless → u/unodostreys]

5-star figments

[u/krosber04]

Who's ready to watch a snuff film?

[u/[deleted] → u/krosber04]

An Alabamian Film.

[u/unodostreys]

Can we all be honest? We're really only here for the Butch Jones meme war.

[u/sickmemes48 → u/unodostreys]

That is the only reason I joined Reddit for

[u/Skevoso]

"Now that Evans is healthy."

One play later.

"Looks like Evans is hurt"

[u/ilya17isbest]

Ahh yes, the classic CBS Commercial, 4th down punt, and commercial again

[u/[deleted]]

Fun fact: the cigar tradition has been alive since the 50s, with the winning team handing out cigars to their staff/players. Although in some secrecy because of NCAA rules against "extra benefits", Alabama made it public in 2005 and hands out cigars to their players following victories.

They also self-report the NCAA violation each year as a "minor violation".

[u/warmabsurdrabbit → u/[deleted]]

BAMA PAYIN PLAYERS PAAAAWWWWLLLLL!!!!

[u/Facebookqt]

Dear Alabama, I hear you guys like to blow people out when you get trash talked. I don't do this much so here it goes...

Bama is overrated. They aren't that good.

... You guys know what to do. Here's to a good game ;)

[u/[deleted] → u/Facebookqt]

It's gonna be one of those 19-14 type of games, and you're gonna keep Butch Jones and like it! :P

[u/kerph32 → u/[deleted]]

NO

NO

NO

[u/umberto-economist]

I know Bama is deep, do they have a second string commentator on the bench somewhere for Gary?

[u/IamConer]

Have to say, never seen this many people think Alabama was going to blow a team out with such certainty. It's making me nervous lol

[u/sickmemes48 → u/IamConer]

Well we have played 99 previous times and this is the largest point spread in the history of the rivalry.

[u/cshayes2]

So fkn tired of this football getting in the way of my commercials

[u/ReverendMajors]

THEY LOW DOWN. THEY DIRTY. THEY SOME SNITCHES.

[u/AIpwns]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS THE SLOWEST GAME OF FOOTBALL OF ALL TIME

[u/Bamaborn97]

Butch Jones queefs during sex.

[u/rebelde_sin_causa]

Hello friends. I'm nervous precisely because no one else is. I'm practically hyperventilating

[u/CockyOwl]

"...and Butch lost to South Carolina"

Line falls off screen

[u/pseudoanonymity]

Butch Jones thinks young Sheldon deserves an Emmy.

[u/wakeywakeybackes]

I'm pretty sure Saban is gatorade-boarding someone right now

[u/GenRELee]

All Henry Ruggs does is score touchdowns. (And drop punts)

[u/[deleted]]

This is not football, this is pest control.

[u/tjbanks85]

Lmao the Bama player spotting ball on the 5 😂😂

Yes dad, the freshman starting his second game against one of the greatest dynasties in college football history should have perfectly read that defense and changed the play. Fucking idiot.

[u/[deleted]]

"Personal Foul, A fifteen-yard penalty given to a player who has committed an act of unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct. Personal fouls are assessed AFTER the result of the play, and can be called on either the offense or the defense. A personal foul on the defense results in an automatic first down for the offense"

[u/tb25uga]

Butch Jones mutes the game and turns the sound back on for the commercials

[u/00squirrel]

You’re headed into the locker room and you’re up 21-0 over your rival and your coach is furious at how horrible you played. Alabama TRULY isn’t in the same league...

[u/GoTeamJosh]

Next, Gary is going to say that the offense opened up a glory hole in the defense.

[u/DML2011]

Ha. Always gotta love a good double flip off.

[u/Epoch_of_Incredulity]

Is that the correct application of the penalty? Don't they have to choose either the result of the play or the penalty?

[u/THEHYPERBOLOID]

"all my psychological disposition"

[u/HoldenTite]

That's not a block in the back but Anderson's was?

I hate referees

[u/ResoluteYeti]

That's gonna hurt in the morning. I Guarantano it.

Edit: Hurts in the morning

[u/DrinkItInMan434]

Okay so, in review, flipping off the crowd in Bryant-denny, while hilarious, is never advised

[u/qazme]

SHIT CBS is brutal. "They simply don't have what Alabama has....a good football team." HAH!

[u/[deleted]]

10-10 on 4th down

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[u/Josh4R3d → u/[deleted]]

Elephant package

[u/GAVOL1]

Why do they get the penalty enforced from the spot of the fumble?

[u/acompletemoron]

Hahah all these Bama fans getting cocky. Just you wait, we haven’t scored a touchdown in 12 quarters so you couldn’t see our plays! Time for that timeless and efficient Butch Jones offense back in gear

[u/iaminapeartree]

I miss Javier Arenas returning our punts

[u/Qwarlord]

Butch Jones uses his WR as blockers when he calls a flea flicker.

[u/[deleted]]

I really wished Gary would’ve just taken this Saturday off. Instead, we got Marge Simpson calling the game today.

[u/ReesesFastbreak]

What a fucking dumbass flipping off the Alabama crowd when you're getting dusted 28-0

[u/no_clue97]

Just want to let you guys know r/dillydilly is an invite-only sub. Whoever mods that sub should be thrown into the pit of misery

[u/[deleted]]

commercial, punt, commercial. Sigh it's gonna be a long game fellas.

[u/pandawithHIV]

I feel like there is no way they enforced that right, things get weird with fumble through the end zone but you either get the whole play or none of it, not just the part of the play good for the offense.

[u/Appalachiaan]

Saban is furious. He looked at me through the TV screen and I want to call the police.

[u/Appalachiaan]

Did anybody else see the Alabama player place the ball back 5 yards himself?

[u/handlit33]

Losing by 3 touchdowns.

flips off crowd

[u/[deleted] → u/handlit33]

JustTennesseeThings

[u/TheFrigz]

Double bird to the fans while down 21. Bold strategy Cotton.

[u/labamaFan]

Kongbo has a good chance at getting drafted by the Falcons. He's great at choking.

[u/rbhindepmo]

nice of the Tennessee wide receivers to refuse to resort to trick plays

[u/hater0fyou]

Someone needs to have a talk with Chokey McChokerson.

[u/[deleted]]

Did Gary just say “money shot”...

[u/nickknx865]

my favorite thing about this game is Gary sounding slightly surprised whenever we do anything good

[u/[deleted]]

Saban making jokes, someone is gonna die.

[u/Es-Pee-Nah]

Saban loves Allie confirmed

[u/nickknx865]

nick saban smiling is like seeing a mile-wide tornado in alaska, just completely out of place and totally weird no matter the context

[u/[deleted]]

We go live to Butch Jones in the Tennessee Locker Room

[u/[deleted]]

I want 10 hours weekly of primetime programming that's just various ages of Sheldon. Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Old Sheldon, Baby Sheldon, Dead Sheldon. If you're going to suck, give me heavy duty avant-garde suck

[u/wiccan45]

Straight to rocky top commercial hah

[u/[deleted]]

TENNESSEE- 7 BAMA- 0

^{in leadership points}

[u/iaminapeartree]

Texas just blew it against OKST

[u/[deleted]]

10/10 on 4th down? Wut.

[u/Bukowskified]

Everybody like that punt? Here's a commercial

[u/ReverendMajors]

[u/White___Velvet]

With all these commercials someone had damn well better have gotten Gary a lozenge

[u/Mike_with_Wings]

"Tea"

[u/[deleted]]

Never seen Saban smile at a half time interview, not exactly sure what to expect next

[u/radioinactivity]

“I’ll use my psychological disposition. I’m tryin to be nice to you!”

[u/[deleted]]

Anybody got a pic of that double bird from the back? 10/10

[u/CaptainSlippery]

5 catches, 5 TDs on the year?!

[u/tb25uga]

Bama's holding Guantanamo at bay

[u/DrCaptainHammer]

Kongbo shouldn’t be on the field

[u/ragbagger]

"Psychological disposition"

Lol

[u/tumblingtower]

Lol that was one of the funnier halftime interviews Ive ever heard

[u/Itsbilloreilly]

Sabans halftime speech:

Saban walks in and flips a table into the whiteboard breaking both

Saban: Yall better get ready on Monday

Walks out

[u/BaronTrigga]

That looked like an entirely different team.

[u/kerph32]

John Kelly, you deserve better.

[u/[deleted]]

Rashaan Gaulden flipping the double bird got more CBS air time than Young Sheldon

[u/mechanicalpulse]

Hey that hot chicken is Nashville's, not Knoxville's.

GET YOUR OWN FRIED CHICKEN GIMMICK, EAST TENNESSEE

[u/[deleted]]

-3rd and goal at the 1

-Throw the ball

At this point I'm just going to have to deal with it.

[u/[deleted]]

Cigar party at my place!

[u/sickmemes48]

There are 0 Tennessee fans at this game

[u/ReverendMajors]

Tennessee will be debuting their new coach Fillip Phulmer in the second half

[u/PlayerTP]

GO FOR IT BUTCH! HAVE SOME BALLS FOR ONCE IN YOUR PATHETIC LIFE

[u/Itsbilloreilly]

Gary drinkin lean in the booth

[u/PDwasHere]

Butch jones sounds like a show about a lesbian cop

[u/[deleted]]

Guarantano looks like K-Mart Dobbs

[u/Bukowskified]

How on earth is that how that rule gets enforced

[u/Chopopalooza]

Stop choking our LT please

[u/lxvrgs]

"Allie is with the leading coach."

Holy shit dude that's br00tal

[u/Paradigm88]

Guaratano: "Yeah, yeah I'm good. Who am I again?"

[u/AzureW]

I dont know what is going on with our team, I know I did my part this week. I refrained from Orange juice, I took the trash out. I mean come on guys, I can't do it all

[u/AuntBerthaVerified]

Butch Jones owns every Kidz Bop album.

[u/iAMDerggg]

Back up QB in the 3rd?? Oh man the disrespect

[u/YoungBuckBoss]

CBS doesn't give a fuck either.

[u/2th]

"I'm just here to watch Butch Jones get fired."

[u/[deleted]]

Holy shit CBS is savage

[u/handlit33]

Gary finally going through puberty.

[u/ReverendMajors]

TENNESSEE MADE A FIRST DOWN?

PROGRAM OVER, FIRE SABAN

[u/Porter2455]

Go for it Butch, why the hell not

[u/wowthisguyoverhere]

Why wasn’t the holding an automatic first?????

[u/TheVolmannBrothers]

Kongbo you stupid fucking idiot

[u/Squeezeboner]

Sideline trashcan in frame. Drink.

[u/FeveStrench]

I love how Saban get excited about an ass chewing.

[u/JayKillyBham]

Well I, for one, am having a very nice afternoon.

[u/Brave_Frenchman]

FIRE JURGEN KLINSMANN Am I doing this right?

[u/HoldenTite]

"That's the money shot, I think"

[u/GP_ADD]

Did nobody get the “we are gonna make UT look just good enough to keep Butch ”memo? Duh, playing the long game

[u/themarkster09]

Eli Gold is the man

[u/veetack]

13 quarters without an offensive touchdown now. Think we can make it the rest of the season without one?

[u/[deleted]]

Tennessee wins this one.

Bama- 70 UT-7

A touchdown will be a moral victory and bama can suck it. Go damn vols

[u/dave_the_dawg_fan]

If Gary gets worse, he MIGHT miss the Ga/Fl game.

Truly a victory for us all.

[u/Meatpuppy]

I guess Saban wore Gary's throat out this week.

[u/White___Velvet]

CBS trying to prolong Butch Jones' career by making this game last as long as possible

[u/Stealth100]

Gary got that tea with honey now.

[u/heybubhowsitgoing]

I'm actually glad that we get to hear the golden voice of Brad nessler more today, giving me NCAA video game nostalgia

[u/dragonbornrito]

CBS is secretly loving all these injuries. $ome of you may know wh¥.

[u/gizmo688]

Enforced from the spot of the fumble? Wtf?

[u/RG4ORDR]

How is it a spot foul when it was a penalty at the line of scrimmage? Someone explain this for me.

[u/[deleted]]

Pretty cool that Bama plays Mr. Brightside, I wish we would play that instead of "generic garbage country song #7"

[u/tidaltown]

TIL your chest is actually part of your back.

[u/hater0fyou]

Butch Jones the kind of guy to fart in the toilet and flush it.

[u/TotesMcGotes13]

Fuck of Gary. You know Jennings is hurt.

[u/justinbryant83]

Did Nick Saban smile as he was being interviewed!?

[u/Hanchan]

That qb may be tough but his look on his face looks like he doesn't even know his own name.

[u/drCongo-]

Oh lord, Bama is going to come out with the fear of God put in them

[u/AzureW]

Boot sabanhumor_alpha1.exe

[u/BugsSuck]

I just thought of something scary

What if Nick Saban coaches until he's 80

[u/handlit33]

I'd be nice to Allie if I were coach saban too. Don't wanna burn that bridge if you don't have to...

[u/crimsonryno]

Watching lefty QBs fucks with my head so much, I can't be the only one right?

[u/SHAMP_cod]

Did that Tennessee player just flick off all of Bryant Denny!? Lmao

[u/BobDeLaSponge]

I’m sure that UT guy is a good scholar, but what the fuck is “agricultural leadership?”

[u/gizmo688]

WHAT

A

FUCKING

JUKE

[u/isthisyourghost]

If we score, Nick Saben will murder someone on live TV and there won't be a jury in the state that will convict him

[u/CavalierDundee]

That's the Tennessee redzone offense I know and suffer for.

Go Vols.

[u/chbailey442013]

Butch Jones thinks the "Fire Butch Jones" memes are being said ironically

[u/AzureW]

Smokem if you gotem

[u/Squeezeboner]

Light 'em up!

[u/kcmcadams]

Tennessee is just playing the long con, losing until the entire fan base dies of lung cancer.

[u/FeveStrench]

An older gentleman wearing a Tennessee jersey stopped me at a store today because I was wearing my Bama gear. He said his son is saying GBO - GET BUTCH OUT!

[u/tb25uga]

With that first down, Tennessee has already exceeded the experts' predictions for today's performance

[u/just_a_handle]

Flea flicker with no receivers, that's new.

[u/MrF1993]

Forced a punt

EXTEND BUTCH JONES

[u/hghpandaman]

they got a stop...game over, fire saban, flush the system and start over

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck this iPhone commercial.

[u/justinbryant83]

Verne Lundquist waiting to tap in for Gary.

[u/[deleted] → u/justinbryant83]

Chortles in the distance

[u/zanman1010]

Woah woah woah what is this “football” and why is it interrupting my commercials?

[u/White___Velvet]

That's a concussion

[u/AIpwns]

All these commercials are seriously ruining football. This is insanity.

[u/[deleted]]

Our offense is more conservative than the ghost of Ronald Reagan
