And just like that, the LSU excuses have already started

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Butch Jones learned his excuse regimen from Kelly.

Kelly will find a reason not related to himself to explain away any setback.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I love that we are once again the fellas other teams use excuses for.

Go Vols!

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Wow! A passionate SEC fanbase with a bad take?? Tell me you're joking!

 

[salutethehill]

This game worries me but I love this team.

For good reason - this will be a war.

 

[BigOrangePaddy]

Because they are throwing such a hissy fit about the 11 am slot.

I say let's buy them all out and straight up take over baton rouge!

Let's start a petition getting more fans to promise to buy tickets.

12 noon God's time.
11 am central

I bought a corndog flag off Amazon several weeks ago for this game.

I should let one of you guys going to Red Stick borrow it.

We can bring the French’s Mustard.

CBS has the 1st and 3rd picks for the DH weekend. ESPN has the 2nd pick but they cant televise it against the CBS games. ESPN chose the LSU/Tennessee game over the Ga Aub game.

GameDay will probably be in BAton Rouge

GameDay will be at Clemson-NC St. Top 10 matchup.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

GameDay will be at Clemson-NC St. Top 10 matchup.

That is this weekend. We don't play LSU for two weeks. Still, GameDay won't be there. They'll definitely go to Alabama/A&M or Oklahoma/Texas.

 

[VolPack22]

It sets up for Tennessee vs Bama on CBS.

It’s rightful spot.

 

[Ratvol]

day games in the bayou is much better. Creatures come out of the swamp at night. Bad juju...
As a wise man once said, "Bones never lie"

GO VOLS!!!!

Yeah I didn’t click on the following week. Highly doubt they will go to the OU-Texas game considering their records. Alabama is more than likely considering Jimbo beat Saban last year.

I actually think the OU/Texas matchup is much more likely. They go there a lot, and if we beat LSU there is a potential Top 5 matchup in Knoxville the next weekend. I highly doubt ESPN sends GameDay to two straight Alabama games and the 3rd Alabama game out of the first 7 weeks. So, either they go to Alabama/TAMU and skip Knoxville. Or, they choose OU/Texas and hope we both win and then come to Knoxville the next week.

 

[apevol]

Lot of paranoia in Corndog Country. Day drinking will do that to ya.

Day drinking always dropped my paranoia to dangerous levels

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Zero chance

Buttt does it come back for Us vs bama? Provided we beat lsu

 

[SoddyAllVol]

This game worries me but I love this team.

I’m not as worried about this one as I was Florida. I think we go and take care of business.

 

[KeyVol14]

I guess it’s just past history of what LSU does to teams down there in Baton Rouge specifically

I think Ohio St is the only school to be a part of 3 consecutive GameDay’s. In 1996. Oddly enough, Florida was a part of 3 that same season, just not consecutively.

If it was a night game then I’d be more worried. Some will say day/night doesn’t matter blah blah blah but it does.

There is precedent for multiple visits to the same campus in a season. Georgia got 2 in Athens last season.

Just bought mine! Hoping for a large contingent of Big Orange!

 

[VolPack22]

College GameDay: Locations, all-time appearances, most times hosting

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Two undefeated top ten teams I don’t see how they couldn’t come back. That’s not even counting that’s it the Third Saturday in October. But first let’s beat LSU

Tigers BLEAUX! Go ahead & whine away, LSU. We gonna flame your azz.

 

[Sarms58]

Rational though and LSU fan don't really go in the same sentence. It may be an 1100 kickoff, but their fans will be 3 sheets in the wind...sobriety and LSU don't go together

 

[CNCVol88]

If it was a night game then I’d be more worried. Some will say day/night doesn’t matter blah blah blah but it does.

Day/night absolutely matters. The amount of alcohol one can consume before 11am is a lot less than 230pm or 6pm.
