'25 Recruiting Forum: Official Tennessee versus Vanderbilt Pre-game/Game Thread

[OGbabyaviVol]

Anyone else think we’ll be against the refs this week as Sankey might make a call to get as many sec schools in the playoffs as possible?

Unless Bama or Oklahoma slips up and loses, there will already be 5 teams most likely in the playoff. There’s 0 chance the SEC gets 6 teams. I wonder if the flip happens…a neutral or favorable whistle to ensure as little chaos as possible. You already know Bama will get protected at Auburn. I don’t think Oklahoma will need protected as LSU looks atrocious and it’s at Oklahoma.

Agree, the SEC got what it wanted out of Peabody which was a "good story" all year. They've outlived their usefulness because they'd be a terrible draw for any of the "bigger" bowls. The best case scenario for the SEC and bowls is that UT and Texas be the top two non-playoff teams.

But our outright rage & hatred towards all-things Peabody should always be sufficient fuel to overcome anything Sankey and his butt-puppet cronies can throw at us. Saturday I hope to see renewed confidence coupled with a heapin' helpin' of pissed-off from the guys as they anchor Peabody's season and Napoleon's Heistman bid right down into a shallow, unmarked grave!

Does Neyland Stadium have a double hip replacement section?

Yes. It is a private suite with Betty White playing hostess. No yeti allowed.

Beat Pavia like he stole something!

 

[engineerVOL]

What we know about Pavia is that he will get rattled on the road a little and turn it over 2x, like Texas and Bama. But they will still score and we have trouble on defense so we need to score in the upper 30s

Then Pavia family starts a brawl in the stands.

In the style of Leonard's Losers:

Clark Lea leads his flotilla of naval officer wanna-bees into Neyland Stadium Saturday afternoon against Josh Heupel's sharp-shooting Volunteers, looking to spray water cannons on the Volunteers' stock of gun powder.

The Volunteers have lost close games to a couple of the SEC's usual big-boy suspects in what was supposed be a rebuilding experience after last year's playoff appearance and then got caught out in the open by a bunch of line-jumping Sooners in Conestoga wagons for a disappointing loss at home that put a major damper on a possible CFP bid.

The Commodores, behind midshipman Diego Pavia have been sinking SEC foes all over the place. While they were swamped by a herd of Crimson elephants and were unable to put the Longhorns on a bar-b-que grill in the last minute, they still harbor hopes of sailing into CFP waters if they can overcome the orange-clad Tennesseans by the river.

Tennessee will mount an ambush and sink a few Vanderbilt ships early on. Then the aforementioned cannons of the Nashville Black and Gold trimmed flotilla will dampen the Volunteer ammunition and sink a few Vol defenders as well. But in the end, it won't be enough...

Grover's Loser, in a close one, Vanderbilt.
