Tennessee released it's new uniforms on Thursday. Not to be outdone, CJF released candy's new uniforms on Friday. Oddly enough, both teams were sporting alot of Orange.

I've been finding myself surprisingly excited about that game. First week of college football and a good chance to see Vandy fall flat on its face.

Yeah man same here. I think the Rebels are gonna surprise some people this year.

Jeff Scott and Moncrief are pretty good players in that system. If CJF does indeed lose Boyd and ACS, he may have a scape goat for the season. Because Robinette isn't going to win Vandy many games.

I appreciate your tolerance. However, since you know nothing about AP, VU and TSU (based upon your own statement) how can you know enough about WKU to whether my opinion is off-base and asinine?
In some ways, knowing nothing about your opponents shows that you are only interested in UT and no one else, which is commendable. The flip side of that is that you (not meaning you specifically) do not have the knowledge base to make predictions and analyses of games and their outcomes (as many have done as it relates to WKU and UT).
I am not trying to be difficult, but I enjoy discussions when the participants have facts to base their opinions on, not just blind allegiance and emotion.
Did not mean to offend.

So...you didn't pick up on the sarcasm in my post? I thought the statement "I'm pretty sure Austin Peay has a football team because they are on our schedule" made it pretty obvious...even for someone who lives in Warren County.

From CBJ:

"Quarterback situation, today we made the quarterbacks live. The individual that stepped up was Riley Ferguson. Don't write about it, he's not the starting quarterback," Jones said. "We don't have a starting quarterback right now, so don't put words in my mouth.

I thought he showed some poise and the thing I liked about him was his pocket presence - he doesn't get rattled. He made some big throws. I thought Marquez North had some big-time catches. But Marquez still needs to learn how to finish routes. We need to learn how to finish as a football team, learn to use our hands, accelerate our feet. We have a long way to go."

Very curious how focused that Vandy team will be for the Ole Miss game. If they drop that one, I think the bottom could start to fall out from under them. They have a tough schedule and they are losing some important players...

I know who I'm rooting for. Go Rebels.

Gumtucky? That is cute. Did you come up with that one all by yourself or did your kindergarden teacher help you?
Living down the street would do me no good. Watching the team play and reading comments by people in the know give me a little insight. What do you base your opinion of WKU on? You admit to know nothing about them yet feel qualified to critique/debase/ insult them.
Stars as we all no are questionable sometimes. I would prefer things like statistics and pro scout comments and levels of experience.
I am not sure if I ever said anything about equal talent. I said (for the reading impaired) that WKU was not the trainwreck that they were when they came to Knoxville.
Why are you so offended that someone disagrees with your opinion, especially when you have no knowledge of the subject that you are opining on?
Heaven forbid, someone disagees with you about something important! We would have to call the men in the white coats with straitjackets and tranquilizers.

You have good Gobbligook but nothing to support your claim. Waiting ...waiting ...more Gobbligook. Waiting..didn't think so. And the Gumtucky. That was your wife.

Heaven forbid if you dispute a claim on here and the person responds with a novel. But of course that's on me.

So is Bray about to get a chance to go down the field and win this?

Not a good preseason for him so far. Not a lot of chances for him to shine.

Bray had a couple of nice passes, then felt pressure and overthrew a screen, missed another screen and took a sack on 4th and 3.

He needs to step up with these opportunities.

Elsewhere, CP with a couple of catches and an average kick returen.

DR with a catch for 6 yards.

Denarius Moore, some catches and a TD

Rivera, 1 catch so far.

That last play wasn't on bray. 1.5 seconds was about what he had. If you get an unblocked blitz on 4th down and its not designed, thats scheme or O line. And they give up a lot of sacks I've noticed.

But he screwed up the screen to put them in that situation. Its a wash really.

It was a 4th and 3. I know the end/lb (can't recall) came around untouched/lightly blocked. He definitely would have been helped by a good block there, but you need to know that pressure is coming on that down, and the play call most likely had some guys short for the gain. Whether they were open or not, I don't know.
