What happens when a Tennessee team matches up against another SEC East team, South Carolina when one team is 2-5 and the other is 3-4? Fireworks on a Saturday night in Neyland because both groups of fans had plenty of time to get super loaded during the day and then catch a very meaningful game with bowl game implications for two schools doing whatever it takes to get to the Indy Bowl or wherever 6-6 gets SEC teams.
Add it all up and Tennessee cops had their hands full, especially with loaded Cocks fans who didn’t go down without a gang of cops walking them out, especially Cocks Dad who even had Robo Cop in full tactical gear following him out to make sure there were no issues.
I tell people all the time that it’s a shame that the Vols have been so bad — minus two 9-4 seasons in 2015-16 — for the last decade because Neyland is my kind of place. I was there like 6-7 years ago to see them get destroyed by Georgia, but it was a classic SEC experience. Partying on house boats, pretty much blacked out while sitting in the Georgia section with Dawg Mom screaming nonstop for 2.5 quarters before I had to leave with a splitting headache. It was a great atmosphere, but I have a hard time justifying spending the money to drive down from Ohio to see them get destroyed.
Then the Vols go out and have a night like they did Saturday against the Cocks, a 41-21 blowout and four very possible wins coming up. That’s why last night was so important. You get that third win and four possibles coming up. 7-5 is going to look like 11-1 for this team. Just think if they don’t choke it away to Georgia State back on Labor Day weekend.

Two Gamecock fans got arrested for fighting at the game. Fighting each other.

I just watched a Gamecock fan get arrested while singing Rocky Top after a vol touchdown in Neyland Stadium – is there any better way to spend a Saturday? #GBO
