Tabor the Mouth -- At It Again

[Kelley_VFL]

I don't think it will just be Tennessee fans or the media that pick UT to beat Florida this year. The last couple years it has been a pickem spread. I think in 2014 TN was favored by 2.5-3 and last year it was FL by 2.5-3. This year I think it will be double digits possibly even 14+. We haven't had a defense to work with the past few years. This year is that is the difference.

In regards to his comments, I don't think that Tabor really pulled any punches. Its hard to think that you are going to lose to someone when you haven't lost to them in a decade. Its up to this team to change it. And then next year we will hear "We have lost to them one time in the last 12 years..." They have earned that right so let them talk.

Taunting bad.

Hurd running straight through Tabor, priceless.

I hope he does

JT just trying to talk himself into it, or truly believes the gators will never lose to the Vols again. I'm predicting they will lose to the Vols this year. And Tabor will be unable to do anything about it. And I'm sure the gators will give their all for their team and it just won't matter. We are an improving team, and until I see other wise the gators are on a downward spiral, maybe they will start better this year compared to how they ended last year.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I hope he does

Tabor won't step in his way twice. Bank on it.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Nope. Didn't have internet, message boards or social media. Never heard a peep from the other team.

Plus Alabama in particular. Gene Stallings was classy he wouldn't have put up with that non sense. If his players talked to the papers that way he wouldn't do it twice. Lol

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Learn how to finish the game. Then they can no longer talk smack.

 

[jeff1vol]

Talk all you want!

They OWN UT.

Only thing to do is beat that ass and they'll quit talking.

Current situation hardly warrants ownership.

Stomp they a55!

 

[basspond]

I hope we beat them by 50 and Jalen trucks him out cold for rest of game after 1st quarter.

50 is not enough. The NCAA should have to call the refs from the NCAA headquarters to tell them to stop the game or until Florida literally walks of the field. (or at least tries to walk).

For all you old Vols, is this what it felt like when Alabama has an 11 win streak coming into 1982...?

No, nothing in 2016 feels like the 80's
However it was special to watch Johnny Jones cut upfield on the 3rd and 8, going about 70yds. for the TD

 

[orange parmejohn]

I love the smack talk. It's part of the beauty that is college football.

 

[The Crimson Cried]

Talks shiz like he is an NFL HOF'er.

 

[Dudleys87]

Usually we get one or two Vols to talk back.
The focus is a good change for once

 

[Through_The_T]

Shut him up on the field. It's as simple as that.

 

[photovol]

What's really sad is the fact the the Gators really believe there is no way they can lose to the Vols, but nothing last forever and let's hope team 120 is up to the task of finally beating the Gators


I do want to see O'l coach green teeth explain the loss on TV

 

[VolsRule]

Josh will light jalen up for some big plays early--he will then stay quiet.

I wouldn't bank on it. Classless people like him keep talking even after they lost. I imagine things like they got lucky or its about time we beat them 11 in a row. Something stupid will be said by that fool regardless.

Pretty much. And then again '86 to '94. The difference is, we've returned the favor a couple of times to Bama.....we've not done that with Florida.

 

[BearCat204]

Is this really that much worse than Kongbo talking?

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

We also didn't play them every year until 1990.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Thug Tabor will probably end up in the slammer before we play. I hope Hurd stiff arms his face through the turf about 10 times.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Is this really that much worse than Kongbo talking?

Nope, but CBJ did put a stop to it unlike CJM.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

I hope our guys "act like they've been there" this year while they stomp a mud hole in the gators. There's nothing better than outclassing your opponent all while not taunting them because they're "not worth it." That being said: Hurd standing over a decked Tabor would be amazing!

Not really.

I hope after we beat them someone goes Richard Sherman on to Tabor's Michael Crabtree and calls him garbage on TV after the game.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

We need CBJ and Co. to punish them and make aggressive decisions (ala 4th and goal vs OK) and also put on more steam. Pound their face in. No more being scared and mr nice guy.....on the field!

This game on September 24 will show us what Butch is made of. If he steps off the gas pedal once again and we barely beat these bums, we'll know he's not the answer.

Anything less than a blowout is unacceptable September 24. We're the better team. We're more talented. We're at home.

If Butch lets off the gas in this game I would demand he gets fired that night.
