Way off topic, but is anyone else having issues in PC mode where only the first few posts are viewable and then the rest of the page is grayed out? This is happening in IE. When I try to use Firefox, it loads the page, but my ability to scroll goes away, as in there is no scroll bar on the side, nor can I scroll with my mouse. Very strange...

Explain "grayed out" to me? Like not loading or actually gray?

Someone else has mentioned the Firefox issue. I need to try and troubleshoot that one.

Expect to win every game? This is why I fret so much in here. Stupid unrealistic expectations. I expect to win against the lower tier teams we play, because as you say, we are talented, deep and experienced in all three phases. The stupidity comes in when it's EXPECTED that we win again those teams that are just as, or in Bama's case more, talented, deep and experienced in those three phases than we are. We should expect to be in dogfights with those teams, and have a good chance to win.

I sure don't expect to lose any on our schedule this year. Will we lose? Possibly, but I don't expect it. Do I think we can legitimately beat every team we play this year? Yes; therefore, I expect to win. It's pretty simple, Francis.

I don't know the source of the problem, but if it's like mine, I have 3 computers at my house. Only one of them does it and they're all on Windows 10.
Literally half of the page (bottom) is just blank gray.
But even though it's only one computer, it only does it on volnation.

This happens to me some also. Sometimes I will get a message that IE (or Edge) is hung up on a long running script. I don't seem to have that problem in Firefox. Microsoft has always been bad at memory management. Sometimes the browser just eats up all of your memory and the whole thing locks up. Again, other browsers are just better at memory management compared to Microsoft's.

Yeah, like I said it's not really an issue for me having 2 other desktops.
But out of the three computers, it's not the one I would expect that issue with.
I just chalk it up to Gremlins.
Little bas#%!&s.

I have no problem with most of this, but I think you're off by a long shot in the Bold portion. According to Phil Steele, Team 120 is 3rd in the NATION in EXPERIENCE returning. This takes % offense returning, % defense returning, 2-deep, O-Line starts. We have seen close games, both on the losing side (FL, OK, Arky, Bama) and the winning side (UGA, SC). Now we have one of the best D-Coordinators in the game here to help close that gap, and that experience in close games can only help this season, IMO.

Think we're not talented? I wear orange shades, yes, but I think it's fair to say we should be just as good as Alabama in terms of running backs, O-Line, D-Line, and linebackers this year. We have a talented playmaker at QB that should only improve as a passer this year, we have a secondary of promising athletes, and if we have one or two of these talented receivers step up, Team 120 will be a nightmare for opponents.

And with the exception of DT (which can change if Alexis Johnson is reinstated, or if Shy becomes 100% by our 4-game gauntlet), OT and MLB, we've got very few depth issues. Could an injury hurt us in a key position? Absolutely, but what team couldn't you say that about? And don't say Bama, because if Scarborough, or Ridley, or Reuben Foster or Tim Williams get hurt, their team will suffer.

Alabama doesn't have better O-linemen or RBs(I think Kelly would start at Alabama)at all. D-line is a stalemate in my eyes(I wouldn't trade for their guys). LB we've got two proven guys to their one. So we'll see, Scarborough is injury prone to tell the truth and he's got some softness to him once you start hitting him. I'm ready for this game this year. We've got the better team and will prove it in Neyland. 😎

I agree. I said it after the game last season and still believe it today. The TN/UA game (even though we came out on the losing end) was IMO one of the best games of the year in CFB. With the exception of the last 4 minutes (where their experience showed through) we played them toe to toe in their own house. Talent was not far off last year. This year we will be the more experienced team and it's in our house.

While a Saban coached team is always something to worry about, it is not a game to be scared of this year. Quite frankly, I'm more concerned with the back to back road games before Bama than I actually am about Bama.

I expect us to win 11. One game is a toss-up to me. That's the game on the road against Texas A&M. I have picked us to lose that one 30-31 as our only regular season loss. We go 11-1 & face either Ole Miss or LSU in the SEC Championship game. We will win that game & that places/catapults us into the playoffs.

I say we lose 1st game regardless of opponent but if we can get a favorable matchup then we could & I say could make the national championship game. Things just have to fall in the right place & we must stay healthy at our key positions.

This is what mine is doing. It's a Win 7 64 bit machine. And only on VN as well.
