I'm not totally worried thinking we're gonna lose, but it's gonna be mighty interesting to see which linebacker is responsible for that running back.

Just dropped another 500 votes. Only takes about 15 minutes to do 500 (with constant clicking).....not sure why we are losing to WKU. Bunch of slackers up in here. :)

You might need to refresh before you vote. I know you probably didn't vote 500 times, but 10 to 20 should make a percentage difference.

Just posted 50 more then refreshed and still losing 54-46. Also, I clicked on Standings, then on Smokey, and the percentage shows as 54-46.

No, I mean you might need to refresh before every vote. So, before voting each time, refresh.

Actually....I did vote 500 times.....twice. One click = one vote. When you click it says +1 for Smokey. Do it 500 times = 500 votes. Do it again 500 times = 500 more votes for a total of 1000.

Instead of questioning others integrity when they say they did it.......try doing it yourself. 15 minutes is all it takes.....20 maybe, if you don't click as fast as I do.

:hi:

My guess is there are a couple of WKU fans sitting at the computer doing exactly what I just did. Wouldn't take many if they have nothing better to do. I teach at night, so I have mornings available, but am building a new den onto the house during the day, so not sure how much actual time I can spend voting.

They probably have two, maybe three people on there. If 5 0r 6 VN'ers would get on at once and spend 30 minutes, you would see it change the other direction. We probably wouldn't get the lead that quickly, but you would see it get closer.

Just added 50 votes, refreshing the page after every vote. Didn't make any difference. Votes counted just like they do when you just keep clicking, but no change to the percentage. WKU has people camped out on the site IMO.

He's a redshirt freshman getting his first real shot at a possible starting role. Still learning the position.

Also, my take from player interviews is that this staff is extremely, extremely demanding. Even if a player is playing physically, it seems the staff always wants more (which is a great thing in my opinion). Cza said this week that the coaches ride croom harder than most of the others and he comes in every day with a great attitude, working to get better.

My guess is that croom is going to develop into the beast we all expect him to be.

This sucks and WKU is pulling some cloak and dagger bs

Nothing will bring these Western fans back down to earth like a good beat down in Neyland on Saturday. :loco:

Dang, Bama averaged 2.5ypc Saturday night. Including saturday they've only done that 5 times under Saban, 4 of those being losses. Just saying.

On the flip side....multiple defensive players for A&M were suspended for the first half along with Manziel. So their D obviously isn't as bad as I thought. Not saying they beat Bama, but Bama should clearly be on alert.

That block Jason layed during Raijion's touchdown run Saturday night proved my point emphatically.

Wish APSU hadn't had pass interference on him Saturday, otherwise he would have had his first touchdown. Also, hope we start throwing the ball around a little more so he can get some touches. Croom is going to be a star!

I'm excited for Croom and all of our receivers. We've got a lot talent at that position, just need more reps and game experience.

I agree. After all the hype and handwringing about WKU this week, I'm not going to be surprised at all if we blow them out from the opening bell.

It should have been a TD anyway. Obviously a tough catch to make, but it hit him in the hands. He has to make those plays if we are going to reach our potential. Same with North. He was under thrown on the long ball, but that's a catch he has to come up with. Same goes for his dropped pass in the endzone.

P.S. Jason blocks like an offensive tackle. That bodes well for the running game and screens. He needs to stay intensely focused on that while he progresses in other areas.
