    Vols replace Nebraska (wusses) with Georgia Tech

    My point was Tenn/GT would be a very marketable game for ESPN for the reasons you mentioned. Tenn/Neb...not so much. With UGA being off the schedule, it would seem to be a perfect time to play a home and home with Tech and Tech's home game being in the Benz.

    Vols replace Nebraska (wusses) with Georgia Tech

    Don't be surprised if they move the game to the Benz. This will be a fun (and likely more competitive game than many expect) and Tech will want as many tickets sold as possible. I'm sure the extra 25K they can fit into the Benz will mean this one is a great game to move. Imo, this will be...

    Ewers vs. Nico (Slow Day Thread)

    If Tenn was a straight drop back passing team...maybe. Heupel likes the threat of a running QB plus when you line up as wide as TN, having a QB with the ability to beat a free blitzer with his legs is also needed. Nico, even though not as accomplished as a passer is a much better fit for...

    OSU on predictably of Tennessee offense

    Is it a bad OL or a bad OL concept? At some point in the season every team runs up against a match up that requires help and it doesn't look like Heupel has found the response when a DE can regularly beat a tackle one on one or when an interior DL is controlling his match up. I'm being...

    Was the helmet to helmet on Nico targeting?

    Thanks for the info. I figured it had to be a feature of the helmet.

    Was the helmet to helmet on Nico targeting?

    If Nico had been in the throwing motion or in the process of catching the ball, it would have been targeting. However, as an unprotected ball carrier, the defender would have had to made contact with the top of his helmet and that doesn't have to be head to head. In this case, the defender...

    Like it or not Ohio State is the best football team we’ve played all year.

    OSU's A game likely beats anyone else's A game but that's been Day's issue. His A games are few and far between. Last night, y'all simply ran into a buzz saw. OSU had weeks to stew over the loss to Michigan and were out to prove something. It was in their place and played in conditions...

    Unseen problems with the playoffs??

    First, the money will be made off of TV rights. This weekend is going to be a financial bonanza. Next, I think it's a positive that average Joe that may not have the ability to get into a huge game can actually afford a ticket to one of the biggest games of the yr. Imo, it's a hell of a lot...

    Disrespect. Respect Earned. Motivation. We should be in Knoxville.

    Not disrespect, just Big 10 bias the same as it ever was. All things being somewhat comparable, OSU is going to get the benefit of a doubt over any school from the south with the possible exception of Bama. However, there is some good news. OSU is 2-12 vs SEC teams since 1990 in bowl games...

    UT or OSU for the 8-seed? (Data)

    POLL: Texas @ Texas A&M

    If Texas wins and Tenn beats Vandy, Tenn is in, full stop. If A&M wins, they are in with a win in the SECCG, Tex is in. UGA is in Tenn is likely in under any scenario but seeding will be higher with a Tex win. Imo, A&M should be favored in this game. Texas has only played in 2 SEC venues...

    Should a team be punished for losing in a conference title game?

    Depends...At some point you have to give credit to teams that play other championship caliber teams during the regular season and try to balance it out. If you have no losses but also no wins over a top 10 caliber team and lose to a top 5ish team in a championship game, I can see that being...

    Tim Irwin not a happy camper

    OM didn't blitz much at all. They took advantage of being at home and UGA being forced to go on silent snaps as well as UGA's LT being hobbled. (he was held out vs UT) UGA changed the cadence and forced UT's front to hold their water which gave the OL and extra beat to get on their blocks.

    Tough to Say

    Stuff happens on the road. Bama ambushed UGA at home in the first quarter. OM was able to take advantage of UGA's silent snap to get a jump on the OL and create massive confusion. UGA was able to mix up the snap count to make Tenn's DL hold their water and give the OL an extra beat to get on...

    Tough to Say

    You're putting enough pressure on QBs to have been a can't miss playoff team if your O had put up 24 at Arky. They are putting enough pressure on the QB to win at home vs UF even though you only put up 17 in regulation. All you can ask of a unit is they play championship level football. The...
