What happened

Tennessee beat Kennesaw State 42-9 and moved to 3-0, and the fanbase responded by filing grievances. The turning point, as the board saw it, came on a two-point conversion nobody needed, read as a message: "Don't be dirty or we'll make this game ugly." Everything else was autopsy. An offensive lineman tried to advance a fumble, which produced a call to "Fire Elarbee" and a nostalgic note about a high school coach's disciplinary methods. Misery held at 53. Three wins, zero joy, standard operating procedure.
