Hey, you're not supposed to start a thread with just a player's name! People will think he's....well...ummm....never mind. Go Vols!

Depends on what we think of Florida. If they're dog vomit, as they appear to be most of last year and the first part of this, then UGa and USCe also have relatively light draws. Georgia might have the easiest of all, under those conditions -- three mid- and lower-tier teams, no top competitor...

There's gonna be a thread just like this before the Kentucky game, too. And before the Vandy game. It happens every year. It happened before we beat NC State. a year or three ago. It happened before Syracuse, this year. The next opponent is always suddenly a concern, the week or two...

Fellas, I must warn you: the Vols have scored an average of 21 points per first quarter this season. And we have allowed an average of 2 points to our foes in the same period. That's a cumulative 83 to 7 score over four 1st Qtrs. And yep, that includes UGa. But you'd like to get up 10-0 or...

That's precisely why it bugs me when the voters do patently stupid things with their votes. What the AP and Coaches polls say DO matter, because they're the ones who start the "national conversation." And when the CFP committee gets going, it kinda starts from the position of that ongoing...

And consider this: You could make a pretty compelling argument that wherever UGa is ranked, Tennessee should be tucked in the very next spot after them. There's a lotta logic to that thought, though, so it will never be used by most AP poll voters. Go Vols!

Consider this photo: That _seems_ to be two people holding each other off the ground. Why's he up there? Because she's holding him up. But why is she up there? Because he has her hand, of course. Circular logic. The AP poll voters are making hay on this concept in 2025. ~ ~ ~ Exhibit...

Not early in the season it doesn't, not with coaches who have a brain. Every game snap is super valuable. Every single one. Including trash time. Because your 2nd and 3rd string need that experience. They need to run as much of the play book as you have time to put them through. Pass...

Quantity over quality, right? It's a new thread, it will generate a lot of page clicks as people respond to it, so THEREFORE it has value on VN.com and must be allowed to exist. Though many of us, not financially wed to page clicks, would delete it and ban the poster if we had mod rights. Or...

Okay, it wasn't the wishbone, not the triple option, but Heupel & Aguilar & Lewis did kinda deliver on the OP's request: Go Vols!

London, you amaze me. Truly. There are only a smallish minority of American football fans who understand the game as well as you, and VERY few even among us on vn.com who study our team's performances in such detail. This would be akin to me, or @Behr or @Freak deciding one day to pick up...

I hate when losers start threads with whiny, sometimes trollish, titles that we are all gonna have to stare at for the next few days.. Even good people who never click on this stupid thread are going to have to put up with its negativity. Ah well. Go Vols!

Joey ended this game: 15/22 for 218 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT (tipped, not his fault, but the Heisman voters will only see the "1"). Go Vols!

GOAT is GOAT is GOAT. The "all time" in the phrase ensures that it endures. Definition does not change with changing conditions. Just because today's lads CAN move schools every year if they wish, that doesn't mean they have to. It's their choice, the good ones. 100% their choice. To be...

You could be right. As you said, we'll start to get a feel for it Tuesday. Either way, over the course of a 4-year cycle, it all evens out. Go Vols!
