8:00 in Tuscaloosa.

yeah....

 

[jakez4ut]

Do you think if they played A*M first, we would have a chance?

hell yes. let's see if we can get it done. would be great for Tuscaloosa's economy...two fan bases travelling in to town for the same wekeend, hell al of North Alabama would benefit...........make it happen.

It's so hard to build any depth here. Honestly... As bad as they were, guys like ignont are still better than any other options we have. Now he transfers along with many others and add Banks dismissal. 2016 was the only year since the early 2000s that we had actual players beyond first and second string. Unreal

With the transfer portal, it's going to be hard to build depth everywhere. Teams are going to be looking in the portal every year to replace their own guys that went in the portal.

Art Green is a worry, coming outta HS he was a 3 star .8004, WR prospect with 1 offer from Arkansas State... He does have great size though and the move to CB might have been a smart one. We'll see I'm sure they'd rather get a Freshmen in that spot, but being 1-4 might prevent us being able to pass on him if he's fully committed.

i hold @HoleInTheRoof viewpoint
don’t expect much from the JUCO players

 

[drvenner]

I agree with you four is the floor.

What happens if we fail to meet that threshold?

Probably sacrifice a couple of assistants. When I say sacrifice, I mean, fire, as in let go and not fire as in burned at the stake, morans.

i quoted a post specifically talking about a specific week. not sure what else to tell you.

I don't know, don't be an ******* maybe?

I made the wrong assumption and edited my post...I don't know what else to tell you.

i've seen some West games on that late....Bama/LSU, LSU/Ole Miss, and i think the TN/Ole Miss game several years ago in Oxford was a 9 pm kick.....basicaly games played in the CST zone...........that are 8 pm kicks. there's been several.

Well, now, they usually start at 6:00 CST and then show a game out west at 9:30 CST.

It's not a huge deal, but I am fairly confident that UT has never played that late. I guess LSU/Ole Miss have done it a few times. But it's funny that it's always at LSU. Looks like the league office or ESPN caved into Bama's complaints about playing afternoon games and wanted to give them the LSU treatment.

I'm in a large GroupMe with Miss State students. I asked them how they're feeling about Saturday. A couple said they feel good about it. They all feel more confident if Shrader is QB over Stevens. Most think it is a toss-up though. They think it's a must win.

They do feel good about coming off an embarrassing loss and bye week. Moorhead has responded to disappointing losses with big, bounce-back wins the last two seasons.

A couple of them acknowledged that Tennessee is not the same team now that they were Week 1 and said that it concerns them. They were impressed with the Georgia game and what Maurer showed against Florida.

Personally, I think State could tear us apart on the ground. Hill is a Top 3 back in the SEC. Shrader is a runner.

Pruitt is just happy to see someone throwing hands

Unfortunately, no.

This is what I like to see. Fire and passion from our fanbase. Which Waffle House you all meeting up at to throw down?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Thank goodness
my bed time is about the end of the first quarter. I think that will suffice for enough TN vs Bama for this year

 

[JAllen18]

They pick Alabama as the primetime game for us to get rocked. Great.

yeah, usually, that's correct....you're not wrong....i'd have to go back and look it up....i know we've never played a home game with that late of kick off.....

Me & Bowie are ready to go!

 

[jakez4ut]

Me & Bowie are ready to go!

i'll meet you at 9 EST in week 7........................or is it 8? you pick.

yeah, i was thinking about that. if we have a 1st half like we did against UGA, i can go to bed happy and just not watch the 2nd half.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Real question who gets the ABC or whatever 8PM slot?

FOR WEEK 8 (glares @jakez4ut) Michigan at Penn State?

[NMVol]

It's all about recruiting and player development, now. A few unexpected wins along the way would be nice. Not much more to say. Go Vols!

 

[LA Vol]

Is Kirkland still around the team? I would be begging him to at least suit up for games and only play him if an injury happens. Is he still planning to try out for the NFL?

He's not going to risk injury. He's looking out for his future. I think he's still rehabbing his knee and prepping for the draft.

 

[JCP201]

always chill bumps..

Dang! We need to convince Ignont and Reid to stick out the season somehow. We won’t win any games if Bituli and Too Too go down. We might as well have seven DBs out there then.

Probably sacrifice a couple of assistants. When I say sacrifice, I mean, fire, as in let go and not fire as in burned at the stake, morans.

Probably not any they weren't thinking about parting ways with, anyway. But a good sacrifice or two always appeases the angry mob.
