I wish we would do grey sections where we would usually have white if we are wearing the smokeys

You'd think the school would like that too because it's a great excuse to buy all the new grey Vols gear

either way, ready for a party in a couple of weeks. Neyland is going to be 2015 OU, 2006 Cal type wild.

Wasn't at 16 Florida or 21 Ole Miss but I'd guess they were crazy too

Oh snap...we're gonna rock the greys for the Florida game!

I also don't think our OL is anywhere near as good as that group Burrow had.

QB and WR wise I think we're "there"....but our OL is still a year or two away imo from being anywhere close to elite like other SEC teams have had.

I will agree that you are right to a degree, but Burrow and his pass catchers made that OL look even better by executing at such an insanely high level.

its gonna happen in two weeks.

Maybe, but same year Burrow was drafted #1 they had 3 OL also get drafted. They had a "perfect storm" situation develop that season cause Coach O sure as hell can't coach for ****, but he had talent there and with the right offensive staff present and O leaving them to it they pulled it off.

Gonna be a lot of fun

 

[thistime]

Kinda how I feel after it's all soaked in....we won.

 

[Glitch]

Did you ever think we'd go a half without scoring?

The over celebration of a mediocre accomplishment is ultra-beta.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Y'all remember when we wanted Scott Frost?

Uggggghhhh

Does anyone think we will work on potential adjustments with Cooper before the FL game? Looking at their D line and that Watson kid at 415# may cause some issues in the middle... With the fast paced offense we run, he'll be gassed after 5-6 plays, but he could create a problem since Coop is a bit undersized at center.

I like how cooper said on Off The Hook podcast after the Pitt game, that he would rather play against big, strong linemen, than smaller, faster guys like Pitt had. He said Pitts dline was as good as anybodys. Said they reminded him of Georgia last year. Said Kancey was a problem

20-25 years ago, a Scott Frost-type probably builds a Nebraska-type program to national relevance in 10 years. Ain’t nobody got time for that anymore. That’s 84 years in modern-college football-years

 

[drvenner]

So as of now...which squad was the most overrated based on those first preseason AP rankings?

#5 Notre Dame
#6 Texas A&M
#7 Utah
#10 Baylor

Yes.

Nah…. Bottom completely fell out…. If he could have been consistently average then maybe…. Had to stay in that 6-6, 7-5 range….. Nebraska was looking for any reason at all to be able to keep him.

We are in at 11-1 with a close loss to Georgia in Athens.

We'd have ranked wins over Pitt, UF, UK, Bama, and I foresee LSU being undefeated and ranked on Oct. 8th. We'd have Top 10 wins over Bama and UK.

LSU has MSU, New Mex, and Auburn between now and then. MSU is the biggest test for them.

Also don't overlook the gravity of the UK game. They're going to roll into Knoxville for a night game on Oct 29th, with us being Dark Mode or Smokey Greys, and they'll probably be undefeated and Top 10 (Total Fool's Gold for them due to schedule). We would also be in the Top 10 for that matchup. It could be College Gameday.

Between now and then Kentucky plays Youngstown State, Northern Illinois, at Ole Miss, USCj, and MSU. They could easily win all those games, but they could also inexplicably lose one or more of them. Ranked Ole Miss in Oxford will be a challenge. MSU will be a challenge for most of the league and will surely get a big upset or two. But UK has had their number since Leach arrived.

If we roll into Athens undefeated it will be #1 UGA vs Top 5 Vols.

I am by no means expecting this or getting my hopes up. We could also tank and lose to UF, LSU, UK, and Bama but with Bama looking extremely vulnerable this weekend... it isn't out of the question that we could be in this position.

Either gotta be able to bring in elite talent OR develop the hell out of what talent you have. At Nebraska Frost wasn't doing either.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think there's two players in college football that I'm glad Dan Mullen isn't coaching. AR15 and John Rhys Plumlee. Mullen would have JRP looking like Nick Fitzgerald, but he's faster.

Meh..

Bummer of a day for NFL Vols

Isn’t that what we wore last time we beat them?

20-25 years ago, Nebraska was ahead of the curve with sports nutrition and off-season training. What made those teams so dominant is how impressive they were in the trenches on the OL and DL. They bullied every opponent and enforced its will. Combine that with high IQ athletic QBs (Frazier, Frost) that could perfect the triple option.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I’ll fire you too, ya ol curmudgeon.

Oh yeah!...well I will fire myself first....now whatcha got?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Prupier sounds like poopier. . . can we just shorten it to poop and call him Bitch Poop? . . or am I going a little too far here? . . I hate Florida.

I chuckled profusely..

shall be his new name..lol.
