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

[Blake25p]

Maybe because it’s Vandy (although they’re actually good) I’m oddly confident about the game today. This will be a high scoring game.

Will do.

Sounds enthusiastic.

I actually think our 12 personnel is going to win this game. Ironically if we leave it to our defense, we lose. If we run, and use Tight End and WR's on chunk plays, we win.

Marty and McGee live from Knoxville.

"Welcome to Big Orange Country! Now let's talk about Lane Kiffin for these 1st 10 minutes." McGee "Let's go live to Oxford. Marty, did Lane sleep on his side or on his back last night?"

I think they try to antagonize it pre-game, and continue as the game starts. They will try to make this as dirty as possible to get us to not play our game. Plus, if they have the refs on their side, the flags will come against us instead of them.

Wow. Wonder why they are so confident we win that big?

Key indicator are those holding calls. They are more likely to scramble so more likely to hold. If we're getting those holding calls against us and Vandy is pretty much penalty free, we'll know the scoop. The holding call is the easiest way for officials to manipulate the game.

Stay in 4-3 and let Spillman and perlotte eat. Defense has been much better since staying in 4-3 more. Leaves Telander to a more natural spot and we have speed at the other spots.

Well, Eric Cain is a goober and Ramey gave no thought to his pick. He said he did even think about a score prediction until EC asked. Take their predictions with a grain of salt.

I’m curious what the other VQ guys say.

Which officiating crew we getting today? I’m going to puke if it’s David Smith, it’s ALWAYS biased against us when he officiates.

Can’t stay in 4-3 if offense goes pass heavy. Will get destroyed.

They aren’t taking their TE off the field and our speedy linebackers and guard him. And our corners can cover their only two decent receivers. McMurray isn’t the best star and Spillman and perlotte and run. Always have a safety help over top which we run a lot. I think Vandy will want to shorter the game and run.

This is my concern. He hasn’t called one of our games in a while. I’m worried we are due for him to be assigned to us and screw us. Hoping for the Cajun, or even better would be Autry or whatever his name is that seems to always call a fair game for us.

If you’re setting up for ref excuses already,

You sound scared.

Of Vanderbilt football.

Facts are the facts. Post our record in games with Smith calling. I guarantee we have lost way more than we have won.

Then you post it. Be sure to include the years where we sucked in all football games, not just ones he was on the call.

Why are you so often quick to defend this corrupt conference? You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the favoritism and corruption.
