Tennessee @ Alabama 7:30 ABC

We played them at night in 2021. Hooker took a clear targeting hit to the head that wasn’t called, i do remember that. The refs always f us down there.

Forgot that one was that late.

The crowd has more time to get juiced up.

And they will

 

[Flogballs]

I’ve been to Bryant Denny plenty. Noise will not be a factor. That stadium is not loud. Plenty of bama fans will tell you the same.

I’ve had the same observation when I’ve gone. Maybe I’m biased

 

[vol94]

Time to man up and win one on the road in a tough environment. It’s gotta be either this or Gainesville to get that monkey off our back.

Hopefully both

Now that you’ve said this, odds are noise becomes the determining factor

I been down there for one game … I have definitely have heard much louder stadiums . Now the swamp is a different story . The noise just seems to hang around down to the field …. Like it’s trapped. You worried that much bout noise, don’t give them
Nothing get excited bout …. We can’t go down there and lay the ball on the ground.. we going need get on them early. still expect a shootout

The last night game down there was that abortion of a game where JG went rogue at the goal line. It doesn't present a good memory that's for sure.

the last 2 night road games for me are the swamp a couple years ago and OSU last Dec.

Neither good memories

Didn’t help us against a crappy Florida team last year.

Bryant Denny is not a horror house because the fans are rabid. In fact, it is one of the more "tame" venues I have seen. Bama fans are proud and have that "we are better than you" smugness about themselves.

Most teams lose there simply because Alabama usually has more talent than opposing teams.

Day, night, it doesn't matter. It will be electric but not suffocating.

Um, this is Alabama vs Tennessee. Their fans treat this one as extra special, just like we do. As do their players - Saban said so himself.

 

[VolCalls]

We ain’t winning this game regardless if it’s at morning , afternoon or night. Although a 11am kick would be the most ideal for us.

Unfortunately I agree.

30 year anniversary of this night game in Bama

First play from scrimmage

That was PRICELESS!!

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I went to the game there in 2023. It was not that loud. Neyland is way louder

 

[dduncan4163]

I'll admit, I'm not thrilled about a night game there.

You and me both. We better get Oklahoma at night damnit

We won didn’t we? I like for the fans to be drunk and for the quarterback to not play like he is.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

Are night games really that more difficult? Is it waiting all day that makes it so?

Game gonna be on till 1am with all the commercials.

Guess you weren't there....Lagway struggled all game because of the noise, the crowd was fine

The wide span of the grandstands makes it more open and lets the sound escape more than the tight confines of Neyland

I was there. That deafening noise propelled us to zero points in the first half and a Florida TD with 29 seconds left to tie the game. Lagway didn’t see the field until midway through the 3rd quarter.

We were also 13.5 pt favorites. Same as this weekend.

Why would crowd noise propel us to points? Fans don't make noise when UT is on offense?

It held Florida to multiple key penalties as well as causing Lagway issues because he's not that good a QB to begin with, and was especially a factor at the end of the game.

We play better at 3:30 in big home games than we do at 7pm. I don't care if you think the crowd is louder at night. The win/loss record favors us at 3:30.

This actually isn't true

Just since 2000 to now, Tennessee's home record is:

48-2 at Noon/1pm

37-47 at 3:30/4pm

38-9 at 7:30 or later

Josh Huepel on the road at night? Say hello to my little BVS friend.

 

[orangemadam]

Bama will cover and then some. This is not a good setup for Vols. Simpson in a groove.

 

[Oldvoldad]

That was PRICELESS!!

30 years!!!!!!?????? Can't believe it has been that long. I was supposed to be at the game. But, ended up watching it from a Vanderbilt hospital bed.

Glad to still be here to watch this one!

Neyland is like a big bowl it just holds the noise in the only stadium that rivals it is Ben Hill Griffith stadium
