Chuck Oliver in Atlanta just said that if the committee released their playoff rankings today then Tennessee would be #1. If he were ranking the teams today we’d be #1. They take into account our 4 top 25 wins AND they take into account that we’ve done it without our best WR in Tillman which is a factor for the committee.

Oliver also said that the game in Athens is shaping up to be the biggest game at UGA in his lifetime. He’s an Auburn fan just for perspective.

I love the prognostications,, Lets take it one game at as time. and not look ahead. 2001 taught me that lesson

How many of our seniors could come back next year with the COVID year? I'd really like to have Keyton and Fant back. They've really improved.

My kids elementary school played Rocky Top during the morning announcements. They also sent out a PSA yesterday encouraging all kids to wear their Vol gear today. What a special time

Night and day difference between him and Saban press conferences. Saban will go on rants and berate the press when he doesn’t like the question. Heupel just stays cool, collected, and mature.

Kentucky fans are permadrunk. Because they beat the Pirate they are now playoff contenders again. They were ready to fire Doops a week ago and now they're a replica of 2009 Bama with a tough as nails defense and an elite running game. Hilarious.

That's awesome. I was looking back at some of my elementary school yearbooks and class pictures from the mid to late 90s (East TN). So many Peyton Manning jerseys and UT shirts back then. Absolutely no gear for other schools. I'm sure it hasn't been that way in a while.

For everyone worried about Heup leaving for OU, just look at AP's reaction. He isnt going anywhere.

 

[JCP201]

Absolutely positively not sorry if already posted

They felt anxious. This is a team who has players who were in playoffs and National championship. No wonder Dawgs don't want VOLS at their game.

I think defensive coordinators and position coaches when meeting with their players and watching film just straight up don't have answers for them on defending this offense.

[Edit: This (below) is incorrect. Both Wright and LSU's Campbell were named. Sorry for my mistake. Thanks to @UTJoe]

[Original post:] Total BS that Darnell Wright didn't get SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week. He was the reason Bama's Heisman trophy candidate was rarely mentioned all day. Really our entire OL was awesome.

Didn't I hear on VOLS calls that Hype was from Knoxville? Or maybe I dreamed it..

 

[UTProf]

Is Hooker still just a backup?

Saban almost said as much in his press conference. There is no out scheming it, just a lot of “we have to play better fundamentals”.

I really believe we have our own Spurrier. If we can get the horses like the 90’s UT teams this could be really fun.

You can split the gap with contact but you can’t go directly over someone with contact.

There are three types of people in this world:

Vol fans
Future Vol fans
Mongoloids

 

[KPT_VFL]

Everyone really does hate Alabama… the Florida one really shocked me.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I can’t. My mind won’t let me.

 

[orangejuice]

Any other coach says what Saban is saying and it’s a massive fine. He is being very vocal about being mad at the officials. If we make it to the SECC, don’t expect the same kind whistle.

I thought he did?

Yep. It's why coaches are losing their minds playing against us. Napier risked getting absolutely blown out and got lucky. Kelly rolled the dice and lost and then thought better of it. I expect Kirby will panic a bit if we start torching them and try fake punts, fake FGs, onside kicks, etc. Anything to avoid giving the ball back to us.

Did Butchna post a clip of himself??

 

[Wokepack]

hmm but I thought Georgia said we were irrelevant? Biggest game in their program's history? Well, ok.

This has me rolling, the dawgs know we're a real team on that cupcake heavy schedule they have. You know the dawgs have an eye on that matchup.

He will be alright when NFL sees what he did and does.
