Jeremy Banks sends a message to Florida a shot to Copeland

Tennessee RB sends message to Florida WR ahead of rivalry game
This rivalry of the young has already started. Love it...

 

[Hacksaw]

Seems like not so much sending a message to Florida as it is just a friend joking with a friend.

Agreed. I've seen his comment labeled "trash talk" elsewhere, and I just see it as friendly banter.

 

[Wireless1]

I love it, but has Copeland even been a target of Franks yet?

 

[Otis07]

slime........

 

[orangeblooded2]

I just wonder how much the Coach will allow along these lines. Not much I guess. But still

 

[DNBVOL]

I hate when players talk trash. It seems to always end in a loss.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Hopefully it goes better than Kongbo telling Alabama we were gonna beat them

I learned a long time ago, if your going to run your mouth, you had better back it up on the field, better yet, let your playing do all the talking that's neccessary.
The younger I was, the bigger mouth I had

Would rather he be sending messages to the LB and DBs on the field Saturday.

Not really much to see here though.

Amen brother but that comes with age and rooting for a team that has been not so good for 12 years.

The Tennessee Volunteers finally start conference play on Saturday, and it comes in the form of one of their most hated rivals, the Florida Gators.

While the matchup features new coaches and players, they all understand that this is one of the SEC’s most storied rivalries … even the true freshmen.

Tennessee running back Jeremy Banks started the trash talk on Monday, when he posted a photo with Florida receiver Jacob Copeland from a recruiting visit on his Instagram story, with the caption, “We coming for ya neck this week slime!!! You should’ve joined us.”


I'm usually not big on trash talk but I'll gladly make an exception for Florida. Banks done got me fired up over here.

 

[Jack Burton]

Maybe win some real games before trash talking.

 

[Vol524]

Sounds like confidence to me. GO VOLS

I agree, do something before you act like you have done something.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Sounds like two friends having fun, nit picking at each other. Nothing more.

Love the confidence though.

 

[Matt2496]

Why give them ammo to get their team fired up?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Now comes the part where a bunch of fans who say much worse about the Gators criticize what a young football player says about the hated rival team.

Carry on.

Good, we’ve let Florida live in our heads rent free for many years, why not come out loose and with some swagger for a change.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

4th team RB talking trash to a WR who’ll likely redshirt this season.

That my friends, is how far this so-called rivalry has fallen.

That “4th string RB” is actually one of our bright spots on offense thus far. He’s a player.

 

[PrattvilleVol]

I agree, do something before you act like you have done something.

He trucks players nearly every time he has the ball. He can’t do it alone. Reminds me exactly of Walter Peyton.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

He’s still your 4th string tailback....doesn’t exactly measure up to the level of Cedric Wilson comparing The Swamp to Commonwealth Stadium in ‘99, or Tabor running his mouth for months up until the point where he got burnt repeatedly in ‘16.

This is scrub on scrub crime.

 

[Orange&White]

I agree that we probably aren’t in the position to be trash talking anyone, especially a team that has owned us the last decade, but I’m glad to have someone on our team with some passion and attitude to them. I know Banks is young and still has a lot of learning to do, but we need more players like Banks and Jennings on the field.

It makes me sick to my stomach that we have not won a SEC game since 2016. Plus we have lost almost every game against a Power 5 opponent the last two seasons. Sheeeeeew. It’s time we finally make that turn and start restoring Tennessee football. This Saturday can help do that.

 

[GetEmVols]

Gators don’t pull trucks. We lose for sure now.
