Literally the only benefit to me being so obsessed with all things Vols that I also buy ESPN app to watch Vols baseball games is that now I am not scrambling for a plan B for this weekend. That said this chit has to stop. I blame espn, but they have what I need so welcome to the show.

This is absurd! Good thing my wife has the Disney+ package so I get ESPN, but this has gotten out of hand.

Something is not right about this game. All the money is on us, media like us and some of them by double digits, yet Vegas has the line dropping from -4 to -2.5??? Why? What do they know that no one else knows? Is David Smith, Marlowe, or Carter calling our game? Something isn’t right with this one.

They know our defense is worse than the Sal Sunseri coached teams, and OUs defense could hold us to 20 points

That’s possible. I would be floored if they hold us to less than they did at Ole Miss with Ole Miss on road and we are at home, but I’m wrong a lot so that’s possible too. I’m sure it will be a slugfest, but I hope the energy from the stadium will make our defense play better than we have seen yet this year. If we would just get a full game of effort from the backend then that would help a lot (looking at you Boo). Maybe Heupel has finally gotten mad about this defense and lit a fire under Banks and the coaches. Seemed like Garner was pretty ticked off about his DL play. Wish Banks would come down on the field to call the game and see if that would help.

Maybe a hot take, but as I dont see us getting into the playoff at 10-2. We have yet to beat a team with a winning record and I think they’ll hold that against us, including the fact that we’ve struggled with msu, arky, uk gave us fits at times. Granted, should we beat ou and vandy that’ll help sos a lot, but even then I feel like we need more dominos to fall

Would be nice to have Notre Dame lose one more. That would help possibly get 5 SEC teams in. Unless Georgia or Bama loses 2 more out of the blue, those 2 and A&M are in. That might leave one spot between everyone else. Ole Miss has inside track right now. Just win out and let the chips fall where they may.

Happy Friday -

October 31, 2025: You will be inclined to measure your losses against your gains, but the result has nothing to do with your future. Every day should be a clean slate where you can choose whether or not you will be an overcomer. Take every opportunity to be thankful and to do the best you can with what you have been given. Psalm 100:4-5 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.

You might check it before tomorrow. I may be wrong, but in order to use the ESPN app, you have to put in your tv subscriber. That may prevent you from getting it unless you pay for ESPN+.

We have the Disney app for kids, so that will allow us to get it.

Weird things were happening with the Kentucky line and we still won by 22. We’re good! As long as a team doesn’t have UGA in its name, we don’t lose at home.

I agree. This is what I would do if I was an AD. Make it so results based that if you balked i'd already know you aren't the guy. If i had to hire some hungry ass OC due to agents then fine. Make the incentives so good no one complains. 2 million for every playoff win. Hell 15M for a title. Who wouldn't agree to that if they truly valued winning?

Getting an OC or assistant who is hungry to earn his way. The proven homerun hire really doesn't work out most of the time. Jimbo, Kelly, Belichick, Freeze, just to name a few.

This makes no sense. They will hold it against us that we haven’t beaten anyone with a winning record at 10-2, which would mean we beat OU and Vandy who will have winning records and ranked.

We are getting in at 10-2. Everything will work itself out in the end.
