Vandy may cover, but I think we win anyway.

Not gonna lie...was kinda hoping the team would practice later in the day all this week.

Nashville. There’s nothing quite like it

 

[tnvols72]

Exactly my point. Using the we don't have players excuse is lazy.

To me using the we dont have players excuse is them trying to not blame the coaches. My GA buddy called me the other night , he was watching our game and said now you see why we wanted rid of Martinez when he was at GA. I told him, he was just as bad when he was here with Butch. He was speechless at what our D was doing. Like he said 38 points wins 95% of games. I told him its been like this for 2 years.

Painfully funny. Let's be honest... This fanbase has needed some humbling.

Speak for yourself.

 

[RikidyBones]

Why did they add time?? Because of the tie?? I do not know the specific rules..lol

They add time because throughout the half there are stoppages for injuries, substitutions, shenanigans, etc. They want a full 90 mins of actual play so instead of stopping the clock and communicating that to everyone else's they keep track of it and announce at the end of the 45th and 90th minute with added time.

 

[volbeast33]

There are many coaches that get more from there players than Tim Banks. Banks has never really even been a DC.

Wasn’t he Butch Jones D/C at central Michigan and Cincinnati…. then the D/C at Illinois…. I know he didn’t call the plays at Penn State.

Makes sense and thank you for the info!!

The best unit on defense:
- Omari Thomas- 4 star
- Tyler Barron- 4 star
- Dominic Bailey- 4 star
- Bryson Eason- 4 star
- Tyre West- 4 star
- James Pearce- 4 star
- Joshua Josephs- 4 star/5 star
- Roman Harrison- 4 star
- Dajon Terry- 3 star
- Latrell Bumphus- 3 star
- Byron Young- 14th Juco

5 of these were in the top 250. Only Terry was outside the top 500.

Offense:
- Hendon Hooker- 3 star/4 star
- Jalin Hyatt- 4 star
- Bru McCoy- 5 star
- Ramel Keyton- 4 star
- Darnell Wright- 5 star
- Cooper Mays- 4 star
- Jerome Carvin- 4 star
- Jackson Lampley- 4 star
- Javontez Spraggins- 3 star

Most were in the top 350. Only position group on offense that doesn't have a 4 star is RB and TE. These rankings don't look like the secondary.

Guess which groups are the weakest? RB, TE, and the secondary.

It's not lazy at all...because I just did the work and it's all right there in black and white.

Vandy is always Andy to me

 

[drvenner]

I agree with Bass in his post above. This team was overachieving and we started smelling ourselves. Comparing to Kirby is ridiculous because he was loaded and has had top recruiting classes. Hype came into a huge mess and managed in two years to get these guys to number 1 in the country with a very tough schedule.

I am also starting to agree with Involuntary about Kelly being pretty Holly. That team is LOADED. There is no reason on earth they should be playing this mediocre. I don't understand the constant substitutions. How can you even find consistency like that? Sometimes you just need to play the best of the best most of the minutes and then if the rest of the "stars" don't like it, so be it. Key may be the tallest girl out there, but she has to play second fiddle to ball hogs, who seldom hit a shot. They are a mess right now. I hope they work it out, but I am not holding my breath.

I was going to like this until the part about smelling ourselves and then you go and add "agreeing with Involuntary!!!!????????" You used to be a reasonable poster. What happened?

 

[drvenner]

USA slight favorite. Probably gonna be a tie.

Somewhat disappointed. We had 'em and let 'em tie it up. Poop.

Ughhh lol. Our starters on the DL are one four star and three three stars and playing more than the four stars on the DL. That’s development, something not happening in the secondary.

Tennessee staffers began following him on social media.

I hear he is a salty CB..Needs a stache IMO..

I am just trying to cope by being goofier than normal.

 

[bigl3327]

Who all will be at the Vandy game this Saturday? I will. Just curious as to who is still all in.

I havent made a serious comment in 44 years.

My kids want me to give up sarcasm for lent this year.

The way Wales played in the second half, it feels like they earned a draw, but the way we gave up the goal was unnecessary and frustrating.

 

[VolGee4]

Omari Thomas and Tyler Barron were top 125 players. Daijon Terry had already produced at a P5 program.

Since you were going on offers, Byron Young had offers from UGA, LSU, Florida State, Auburn, and Ole Miss.

I love coach Garner, and he needs to retire at UT. But if you aren't willing to acknowledge that he is better talent at his position, then you just aren't being intellectually honest. It's not even close.

Vandy may cover, but I think we win anyway.

At the moment, I'm stuck between two scenarios:

• Vandy wins by double-digits (which is absolutely how this game would play out in the Dooley/Jones/Pruitt eras, coming off a game like last Saturday's)
• Tennessee wins a close, lower scoring affair (27-24?) that comes down to the final play

I lean towards the latter, but am still trying to decide.

I'd be stunned (elated!) if we go into Nashville and blow them off the field.
