Bad news Tennessee picked to win

[rbroyles]

On ESPNU today, both "expert", out of work former coaches pick UT over LSU. Does this mean we are jinxed now, or do we take it for a positive? Try not to let any players hear about this.

"That's why they play the game."

Anyone who predicts anything these days in CFB is delusional at best.

Anyone who predicts anything these days in CFB is delusional at best.

...and if you are betting money on college football right now, you probably need professional help.

I think everyone is buying into the LSU being banged up and down take... while I also believe that to be true, I'm starting to get worried that its going to provide additional motivation for LSU.

Screw outside opinions and forces. Rally the troops and charge.

 

[SWIL]

As long as Corso and Holtz don't pick us, we are good.

I don't think Granny would pick us to win even if we were playing a high school team. :lol:

Worst than the SI kiss of death put on KU Sat.

There you go.:salute:

 

[VolsZealot]

well if it makes you feel any better all of the bowl projections I have seen have LSU going to the sugar bowl. Of course these "experts" have to change their projection every week.

 

[lacrossepro70]

well this really doesn't matter, considering LSU will hammer us anyways.

 

[CSpindizzy]

As long as we get a Herbstreit "believe" pick this week we'll be fine....maybe.

 

[SWIL]

I've got a bad feeling that Corso is going to pick us to win it.....:ermm:

 

[utvolpj]

when "expert" picks start affecting the outcome I will stop watching CFB

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

This team has come to far to lose guys.
Together they will beat LSU.
42-38

 

[SWIL]

well this really doesn't matter, considering LSU will hammer us anyways.

I agree. Let's just forfit and not even go to ATL. :crazy::dry:

Having their head coach house hunting in Ann Arbor and the D-coordinator shopping in Lincoln might have a say in the game.

Not so fast, my friend, how , many people said this exact thing prior to the Ark & UK game. You perhaps?

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Unbelievable. People are upset and nervous that some "experts" picked the Vols. Jeez.

 

[lacrossepro70]

Not so fast, my friend, how , many people said this exact thing prior to the Ark & UK game. You perhaps?

no, I thought we'd beat UK by 3. Not bad eh

 

[GASOUTHERNVOL]

does anyone know what the line on the game is?

 

[utvolpj]

think it opened at LSU -7.5

 

[rbroyles]

no, I thought we'd beat UK by 3. Not bad eh

I would have to agree, I picked UT by 3, although I said 27-24.

According to the paper this morning, LSU players (and some fans) are clinging to the narrow hope of a scenario involving losses by Missouri and West Virginia coupled with LSU thrashing Tennessee senseless vaulting LSU over Virginia Tech, Georgia, and Oklahoma (the #4 who, for some reason, they believe they can pass in the polls even though Oklahoma will have beaten the number 1 team in the country by virtue of beating the number 14 team in the country). Its nonsense, but they are clinging to it. They aren't ready to let go yet. Of course, they still haven't let go of the USC AP championsip issue, either.

I believe that ESPN has such a hatered for us, they are turning to vodooism in hopes of jinxing us. And by picking us that will jinx us and we will lose. Who cares about picks made by sportscasters.
