Nice to see us get some National recognition for once in a long, long time

Normally, I dont pay a bit of attention to Dodd; but, I like that.

We still wouldn’t be number one

If everybody ranked above us loses and we don’t…

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Goes hand and hand…let’s just say…that side of the ball

The secondary gets me more ticked off than the LBs or D-line. I think we get that position fixed, then this year will be very special

 

[jakez4ut]

Same stuff we used to try to spin to make ourselves feel better. Moral victories still go on the L side of the record though.

If there's a fan base out there that's expert level on moral victories, it's us. And sir, that is a moral victory.

Good day.

@bignewt where did you see Tillman had surgery?

He had the same procedure Tua had for his high ankle sprain. 2-3 weeks.

My Dad and younger brother were followed and cursed and threatened by a bunch of idiot drunks while leaving the Swamp after a game in the early 2010s, one of the idiots threw a piss filled balloon at their car as they were driving away..my frail little old Dad was 69-70 and had just had a triple bypass a couple of years before that and was understandably scared half to death.

I hate them with the passion of a thousand burning suns.

That’s when you turn the car around and chase the bastages from the safety of your car…

Man I’d be happy if I just seen one of our DB’s look back for the ball Haden did it once in the first or second game and I had hope after that but I’ve not seen it since.

@bignewt where did you see Tillman had surgery?

@bignewt where did you see Tillman had surgery?

Sports Animal said he had the same surgery as Tua at Bama. A small plate put in. Tua came back after two weeks

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Not sure I'd put TN 2nd...hard to put us ahead of Georgia or Bama until we beat one of them. I'd say 3rd I don't think Kentucky has proven much, they seem to always have an ability to beat Florida and it was so early in the season for a new HC and starting QB. Some very good games this Saturday though that'll help figure more things out.

7 Kentucky @ 14 Ole Miss
2 Alabama @ 20 Arkansas
17 A&M @ Miss State
LSU @ Auburn

I know those are rankings, but I would be fine with those top 3 games as final scores…

Better than our D-Line

Well the prognosticators seemed to think different pre season

This is worth the read and hell of a win boys sorry ain't been around yet.Sucks a family member who's been sick with cancer and other health concerns passed away yesterday afternoon.He absoutely loved UT football and has had season tickets for eons.

Well since he's been sick he hasn't been able to go.So yesterday morning asks grand daughter if she wanted to go take her 2 brothers.Why ocourse they do and they freaking had a blast.They grabbed a few souvenirs for papa n pictures qnd headed home.Called n called n no answer finally get home and go inside.Hes layed in his bed with the game on TV and no pulse.
Lord knows them kids need all the prayers they can get and football is the most unimportant thing right now.

Heres the part makes u glad to be a Vol in a gloomy unimportant moment.Man there zo lucky they had cameras n the room just to observe him.That man passed away exactly 7 minutes and 22 seconds after the final whistle.He never moved the whole game.With that final whistle blow he raised his arm maybe 30°.Hey I'm a tuff dude n I cried watching it with them.Its been very tuff but I really really don't think people understand just how big sports impact people's lifes.I know i personally have leaned on ppl here n a dark spot in my life.

Prayers sent. Getting to watch your team. You just know that he could see the grandkids too.
Now he gets to go to all the games!

 

[Orangeburst]

Yesterday it was them not executing..today it Vols good..lol

 

[KptVFL]

So awesome!!!!!

I said it's great to be .....................

 

[Weezer]

I think our D-line has played well, and our LBs have been fine. It's the secondary that's dragging down our defense.

 

[Vfl2407]

The thing that I keep thinking about is Keyton's catch. It's been a lot of years of watching football where I've seen receivers make catches like that and thought to myself, "Just once, I'd like to see a Tennessee receiver make a catch like that." Well, now I have. Hang it in the Louvre!

When Keyton is old, he will still be showing this pic to his grandchildren.

 

[KptVFL]

Lol. I never knew this. You have to watch SEC shorts with subtitles on

Makes it totally different! Lol!

 

[Devo182]

How are there still people who fall for the Richard G. West account?

Internet grandpas.

Always believe the "#1 Sports Reporter in South Knoxville"

 

[Orangeburst]

So far…give the man a chance. He needs at least 4 years to out Butch the original.
Personally, I am rooting for him to totally surpass the original…
