Well we did give you a lot of help, it's not like you forced most of those turnovers. The first one in particular completely changed the flow of the game -- how different would it have been had the score gone to 21-0 instead of 14-7? But credit where it's due: you guys capitalized on all of...

In 2015, Memphis threw the ball 465 times for 3997 yds (8.6yds/attempt) and ran 563 times for 2333yds (4.1yds/rush). So far in 2016, VT has 41 pass attempts for 252yds (6.15 yds/attempt) and 48 rushes for 206yds (4.3yds/rush). Sample size=1, of course...

I was a huge proponent of us joining the SEC. But pretty much everyone in a position of power at VT was/is against it, and now with the grant of rights it's basically impossible. Unless there is some kind of breakaway republic where the top 60-80 teams leave the NCAA, we're stuck where we are...

Thankfully it went away in 2014, but thanks to the Internet, it will never be truly gone.

Ah, John Ballein. :banghead2: :finger3: :P That one still hits like a kick to the nuts, and there's not a damned thing we can do but take our medicine... at least until we win a title. For those that don't know, the backstory behind that pic is that in 1998 our director of football...

I don't think blocking was the issue. I think it was more the case that Fuente wanted to create mismatches by lining him up elsewhere. Think Jimmy Graham; he's bigger than any corner and bigger/faster than most LBs (mind you, I am not equating him with an NFL all-pro, just pointing out the...

He did not start, but did play, and IMO our run game was immediately and obviously better with him in. He gives you highlights like this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ74xvWBxoH/ For whatever reason the coaches are being pretty vague about it, no one seems to know exactly what the...

A few other tidbits from our side: - In addition to Evans being a new starter, we also moved Bucky Hodges (#7) from TE to WR, so timing/chemistry is still a work in progress. Hodges is a physical freak (6'7", 245lbs, 4.6 in the 40) who presents a matchup problem wherever he lines up. - Our...

UT 37, VT 33. UT allows 157yds rushing.

All in good fun! :beerf: Seriously, I came over here because I don't actually know much about you guys, other than what little I remember from the bowl game in '09. Count me among those would love to see this become a much more regular thing. I'd damn sure rather play UT every year than...

Hrm: Clearly a lot of mutual respect here... Ah, the irony of a guy from Tennessee accusing someone else of being an inbred redneck. It's not that you guys don't have class, it's just that it's third or fourth... Boy that's original. I bet his momma's proud. Pot, kettle?! I...

Yeah there are no intriguing story lines here at all... - After several years of mediocrity following the departure of legendary coach Phil Fulmer, Tennessee's Butch Jones has the Vols poised to compete for an SEC title and a spot in the playoff. An early-season matchup against a quality...
