Pretty crazy to know that we already beat the best two teams on the SEC West, I remember a time we couldn’t beat any team in the West. We’re about to crush every team not named UGA. Can’t wait.

Just Rocky Top being back has completely shifted the balance of power back to the East. Amazing how pivotal we are to the conference and CFB in general no matter how much other fans and media wish to deny it.

Fact is when Tennessee is good, CFB is a lot better because we counter balance that domination Bama has had over the last decade plus. In turn, you can get more parity and representation from other schools, instead of it being Bama every single year.

Shew. When will people learn?

TCU and UT shouldn't be fighting. He should hope we both rise up and knock off all these numbnut teams off their pedal stools.

Yeah, but you have to giggle at the idea they think they play tougher competition in that weak ass conference they belong to....

TN beating Alabama is actually an insurance policy. I know it's extremely unlikely but the SEC could potentially get 3 teams in. Also, if we lose to GA and GA throttles Bama there's a chance the vols get in. If Bama beat the vols and they lose to GA, then both Bama and GA get in "irregardless " of the winner.

If we lose to UGA (not gonna happen but if), and Bama beats UGA in the SEC CG, that gives the SEC 3 1-loss teams and supports Sankey's argument for expanded playoffs. IIRC, Sankey was one of the first proponents of expanding the playoffs.

Couple of thoughts on the Jermaine Burton situation:

1.) I lived in Alabama for 15 years and as a result have lots of friends who are Alabama friends (I know, I know. Consider it my outreach). Every single one of them believes no one should storm the field ever in any situation. That's what is driving their current narrative of don't blame the player, blame the fan. While I don't agree with this sentiment, for some reason they all hold to that belief. For whatever reason, they all have the same belief that storming the field is beneath them and their program and all big time programs shouldn't do it. Whatever. It shouldn't have to be in their program's history for other fans in other program's to enjoy it. Which brings me to point #2...

2.) Love it or hate it, fans rushing the field to celebrate with the players has been around since the 1940s at a minimum (that's a quick google). I would guess it goes back much further than that but I am too lazy to research it. In 80 years of fans rushing the field, there have been very few altercations of fans/players violence. There is very little cause for any players to be afraid in that situation...just get off the field. I don't buy the BS narrative Burton was afraid. Which brings me to point #3...

3.) You want to give the visiting players a reason to be afraid? Allow them to start assaulting fans with no recourse. Burton is frankly lucky some other fans did not notice this situation and retaliate. It really could have gotten ugly because HE unnecessarily escalated the situation. A classic "play stupid games and win stupid prizes" moment.

4.) I truly hope the entire football team is aware of this situation and that we get to face Alabama again. I can't imagine more motivating bulletin board material than a player from the opposing team hitting one of your fans that was celebrating.

Sorry for the long rant.

I think Bammers are just okay with hitting women. Inbreeding doesn't produce many brain cells.

It is. Tennessee has historically been the school that’s known for being that school.

Ended Bear Bryant at bama.

Ended Steve Spurrier at florida.

There are others.
Effectively ended dooley, butch, and pruitt. Not in the way that I prefer…😡

We will be the end of many current coaches.

The Curse Breakers are the bain of our foes. They are our salvation. 😎

I think Napier will be the first coach of the past 30 years that lost to Tennessee and won’t be fired. I wonder what happens if Georgia smashes them and they go on to lose to both SC and Fla State.
