And just like that, the LSU excuses have already started

[hUTch2002]

If they want to start whining now...... I'll allow it.

Fine. They whine, we win.

 

[wmcovol]

Some of their fans think the stadium will be 25% orange, per TigerRant. Lol!

I think it’s reasonable to expect that 10,000+ Vol fans will be there.

 

[wmcovol]

GameDay will be at Clemson-NC St. Top 10 matchup.

I doubt they’ll promote CBS PrimeTime game.

 

[VolPack22]

I think it’s reasonable to expect that 10,000+ Vol fans will be there.

Especially coming off a huge win and a bye week.

 

[wmcovol]

This game worries me but I love this team.

It will be another nailbitter. All with Heupel will be that way until Tennessee gets more defensive talent

 

[txvol19]

I think it’s reasonable to expect that 10,000+ Vol fans will be there.

I would love that! Having the full band there with a great showing of fans would be awesome in multiple ways!

 

[ftsandersvol]

Damn, they haven’t even lost yet!

They should wait until we’ve beaten them by 30 before they start whining.

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

They have before.

No meaning we would be the third. I think they have a rule for that. Only way is if they decide not to do bama next week. But I can't see them not taking bama Texas a&m.

 

[OrangeSquid]

Lot of paranoia in Corndog Country. Day drinking will do that to ya.

They start the day with whiskey in their cereal.

Those kind of comments says more about the commenters than the situation. Surely NOBODY actually believes those absurd, embarrassing comments. It is actually hilariously laughable. No matter who the teams are. Silly comes to mind as well!

Yeah, that’s fair. I suppose every large fan base has fans of all types.

 

[jeff1vol]

Corndog coonasses cant win a game during the day??? BTW... Didnt Fulmer beat them at night after Katrina? ALL the world was pulling for poor Ol LSU that night. Welp... they lost.

 

[VOLtaism]

If this was the 2nd game yes but 4-0 will draw 25k to 30K. Its been a long time since the fans could be rabid on the road, they will take advantage.

 

[Stephen Gray]

Yeah, that seems pretty likely. I mean, I don’t think all games necessarily are going to be like that, but many probably will. Most conference games could get ‘interesting’ but I do think we will handle some without too much excitement.

LSU though I think you’re right. Still, just being competitive against decent competition and actually winning games that we previously lost is very encouraging. For sure a work in progress, but we have some legit strengths.

I forget which coach said it, but it was something along the lines of: “First you lose big. Then you lose close. Then you win close. Then you win big.” Winning some of these close ones is pretty cool, even if we are also still losing some.

 

[StarRaider]

CBS has the 1st and 3rd picks for the DH weekend. ESPN has the 2nd pick but they cant televise it against the CBS games. ESPN chose the LSU/Tennessee game over the Ga Aub game.

GameDay will probably be in BAton Rouge

So I have heard CBS gets first two picks and also that it is CBS-ESPN-CBS pick order.... does anyone have a link?

 

[vols40]

Butch Jones learned his excuse regimen from Kelly.

Kelly will find a reason not related to himself to explain away any setback.

I heard an interview with BJ where he said his team is tied for 3rd youngest team in the nation. Lol

What an awesome night that was . I paid Tall Paul $20 to play “Rock You Like A Hurricane” at O’Charleys on The Strip that night (not my proudest moment). Not sure many people made it to Tuesday classes the next day.

[Proud Army Wife]

The Vols, an SEC darling? Lol, right…

 

[cobbwebb0710]

They must really not think much of their own team if they believe a night game is the only chance they had at winning.

I think they’re just pi$$ed that they can’t get liquor’d up for 9 hours, pregame.
Alcoholic corn dogs imo.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Maybe if LSU beat FSU and had a high rank, then it would have been a highlight game in prime time.

We did our part.

 

[VolFanNC09]

This will be a good game. I actually wish it was a night game and we win. Night games at LSU are awesome and even better if we go i there and win.

 

[Stephen Gray]

The Vols, an SEC darling? Lol, right…

Yeah, dunno about this powers that be conspiring on our behalf business. Really haven’t picked up that kind of affection. I’m pretty fond of us though.

 

[Zues1]

That's what I said, but based on their boards, you'd think they are entitled to night games or something. Wild.

Also think they are entitled to wear white at home...
I thought those corndogs loved that ugly purple

 

[LordVOLdemort]

LOL at ANYONE protecting Tennessee

I read that and actually laughed out loud…
