What is thw consensus on how good michigan is on D?


Gave up just 200 yards total offesne to Cincy just not sure how much that means.

It's possible that Michigan is just a dominant D and Florida isn't as bad on O as most of us think.

The UT marketing team bought a million of those followers online for butch. Many of his followers are fake

Smart

I think the Michigan defense is elite. They are nasty up front.

I'd need to hear your source on that one. Being in UTMR I've never heard a single whisper of that.

I tend to agree. Not sure that is the kind of game to gauge an O in.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

Yes. 2015 and last year we were picked by a lot of national people to do better than we did. And we lost 2015 in especially spectacular fashion by giving up huge leads. And after choking away the east last year Butch told everyone that he never said winning the east was the goal. These are the things that have gotten the national media spinning us in a negative way. Not our fans' social media

No. In 2015 UT was picked to finish 2nd in the East behind UGA, and UF was picked to finish 3rd. UT finished 2nd, as was predicted, while UGA and UF flipped at "1 and #3. Which is why UGA fired Richt.

Someone bought followers. Go look through who follows him.

Cincy struggled mightily against Austin Peay

UF was predicted to finish 5th

He had more than those guys to begin with.

Butch's follower count would only be one example of our presence on twitter. Anyone who uses twitter regularly can see our fanbase has a larger presence on there than other fanbases.

How many did he have to begin with, in relation to those other coaches?

Cincinnati only scored 27 on APSU in week 1. It was 20-14 with 5:00 to go.

 

[McGeesPub]

That's an interesting way to phrase those numbers. Another way is to say we were expected to be about like Missouri.

This is an even more interesting way to phrase it.

Yeah, apologies. May not of been them specifically, I always just assumed it was them based on what I heard. Could've been anyone, really.

 

[BigZiti09]

I don't remember exactly. I think he had a few thousand when we hired him and exploded.

Oh, okay

 

[AAVFL]

Has anybody heard how practice has gone this week? I wonder if the media was able to view any practices because I must have missed the reports on how the team is looking this week.

I don't doubt there are quite a few bots and dead accounts, but I have a hard time believing we whole sale bought a million followers.

100,000 or so? Sure, but a million seems like quite a stretch.

 

[BigZiti09]

Oh, okay

From a 2014 article on 247.....

Jones has nearly 146,000 followers. According to a short release by Tennessee's sports information department, Jones had just 11,300 followers prior to being hired at Tennessee.

GBO!

Yeah I have no idea how many are fake. Someone pointed it out to me so I just went and looked and there's a lot of fake ones. Like you said, I doubt it's 1 million

 

[MockingVol]

Yeah, apologies. May not of been them specifically, I always just assumed it was them based on what I heard. Could've been anyone, really.

Yeah, buying followers isn't a rare thing, but that magnitude seems a touch off to me.

The media relations team would also most likely be the ones buying the followers since they also have control over the accounts.

Michigan buddy says that their defensive line is really good, but their corners are suspect.

Let's be real, they're going to score more than three offensive points against us. I don't think they'll score more than 28.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

UF was predicted to finish 5th

You're right. UF was picked behind #3 Mizzou and #4 SC. But either way, UGA was picked #1 and UT was picked as #2. And UT finished #2.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Yeah, I'd hate to be stuck with those bum coaches.

Jim McElwain: 19-9 at Florida, 13-3 in conference, two SEC East titles in two tries.

Kirby Smart: 10-5 at Georgia, 4-4 in conference, best collection of young talent in the league besides Alabama.

Butch Jones: 32-21 at Tennessee, 14-18 in conference. 0 SEC East titles in 5 tries.

They don't get it
