Austin Ward from GoVolsXtra let everyone know, in no uncertain terms, that the University of Tennessee would not be getting a "Tiger Walk" before the game against the Vols Saturday Night.
"The area where the visiting teams drop off is on a hill in a very tight space (by Gate 10)," UT spokesperson Tiffany Carpenter said Wednesday in an e-mail to The News Sentinel. "In 2004 when the Tigers played here, we had approximately 5,000 fans show up with the band and the cheerleaders, which was a great atmosphere, but a huge safety issue for the student-athletes, band and cheerleaders and fans because of the tight space. "If something had happened to a fan in that area, EMT would not have been able to respond because of the crowd size."
"We have just requested that the band and the cheerleaders not set up because it does create a safety issue," Carpenter said.
Auburn fans, including OSG's TBH, were present and the prevailing opinion was that it was one of the largest crowds for a Tiger Walk in recent memory regardless of location- and a way for the Auburn faithful to tell UT to FU...
Evidence above...thanks to TBH her own self...
And who won the game...???
Someone please ask Jonathan Crompton.
He may have your answer...
Here's your postgame from the loss to Auburn with Eric Berry and Montario Hardesty ((HT: WVLT-TV/Knoxville))
Chris Todd threw for 218 yards and a touchdown, and Ben Tate ran for 128 yards and a score to help Auburn beat Tennessee 26-22 on Saturday night. Auburn (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) never trailed and has now won five straight over the Vols -- its longest streak in the series.
The Tigers met some resistance early from Tennessee's defense, but slowly wore it down as they held the ball nearly 10 minutes longer than the Vols. Auburn's third-ranked offense racked up 459 yards.
Tennessee (2-3, 0-2) did little to help itself on offense. Jonathan Crompton overthrew and underthrew receivers, hitting them on their heads and feet. Receivers dropped passes too. Crompton finished 20 of 43 for 259 yards and two touchdowns.
Montario Hardesty had a touchdown on the ground and another by air and finished with 90 yards rushing.
