The potential to blow the doors off Ole Miss is certainly high. They’re coming off Bama and a near escape against Arkansas. I would not be surprised if they overlook us and aren’t as prepared.

Usually yes, but Kiffin is not going to allow that. We will get their best and they're going to get our best.

Whatever the over is, take it lol

He conveniently omits that he was pulling for Bailey over Milton, but you know McGill's human too.

I thought Bailey was the best answer and I would have done everything but bet money that Hooker had nothing. Luckily our HC doesn’t get bogged down in declarations.

Reading thru the last year's fb events, trying to get a feel for how everything played out.

1. To the @99vawl guy that brought the info of Pruitt being fired that day - We'll just call the responses to you "words" because, well.. But the way you handled it in return was impeccable. Well played, sir.

2. To those that took years off their life worried about a 3 win ceiling if the Heup news was true -
If Freak would unlock the replies, I'd go back and save you the stress, "you're not gonna believe what our dude about to cobble together from a pile of poop".
I know what everyone is thinking. But for my wife, I suffered thru 40 minutes of 'The Lake House'. The time communication thingy works as long as it's in writing. That's all I got from that 40 mins of anguish, so just roll with it.

Appreciate it @chargervol ! January seems like so long ago. Still lurk in here, will try to post more if I hear anything. All I know is that we are trending positively with some key injuries and we might see those jerseys again later this year…

Hopefully every player at every position has the mind set this week at practice that their name may be called. This game will require us to hit on all cylinders….Coaches, players and even the fans who are fortunate enough to be there. Sixty minutes of smash mouth offense and break their back defense….we can do this !

They are pretty much running our offense…. Heup has shown the ability to be able to defend it in the past…. Let’s hope he shows the ability to defend it against more talented players

Interesting matchup. One would think that both sides know what hurts their offense as both systems have a lot of similarities with Lebby at Ole Miss now and being under Heupel at UCF.

More wore out then not prepared IMO
That’s two tough games where we’ve had two easier games
Bama and arky wear teams out physically

Which game did we lose because Milton started?

Very good point. 🤔 Most would say Pitt. But the game was winnable. Hooker made some costly errors that I’m not positive starting would have averted. He needed to work through some shakiness before he rapidly got dangerous.

Possibly Pitt. Hooker might have connected on some of those long passes early which would have completely change the way that game played out.

Hooker probably wouldn’t have even thrown them bc he didn’t feel comfortable making those throws at that time….. he has improved immensely.

This is probably going to be the best chance that we have at putting on a show for the nation.

Barstool will be here and they are excited. I heard on their show where they might be taking extra people down because they all want to come to Knoxville. The guy that created Coach Duggs (Big Cat) will obviously be here, but they may be bringing the guy that played Duggs in all of their videos. They'll be big for the college/frat crowd.

Like I said earlier, Josh Pate from 247/CBS is coming. He usually gets great access, so he'll be shooting and sharing videos and pics throughout the day. He's definitely going to be on the field for the game so his first-person account of how things are going on Rocky Top will catch the attention of the common fan.

This will be our best chance to raise two big orange middle fingers to the loud, arrogant, and proudly misinformed fans of Clemson, Georgia, Ole Miss (especially) that paint us as has-beens and a dead program.

I hope we show out.
