cupcakes for breakfast.

As far as I am concerned, the Vols should open every season with a cupcake ( maybe two ). It can only help to get the kinks worked out whilst not getting your head kicked in by a top 15 team. Hey! It worked for Spurrier.

Builds false hope before getting your rear kicked in week 2.

At least false hope is still hope.

Yeah, except its not.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Yeah, except its not.

But, it is. Right there in the name.

I agree with OP. Bama does it and has done it for many many years usually.

I just wanted to see our guys manhandle their guys. It took a while and I still wouldn't say the O-line manhandled very much but it was for sure an improvement.

The one thing they did real well was make and take advantage of ETSU's mistakes. Just have to keep working on our physicality.

Good game, yummy cupcakes.

Wat? I'm not normally one to defend Bama, but they've opened with Power 5 teams, many ranked, for the past several years.

We just put the bottom 10% of the FCS on notice

Prefaces with false....meaning something that isnt real

Alabama opened with Louisville this year, another big name just a couple years ago, forget who

Now that's funny there I don't care who you are.

False means not genuine in this usage. That is still a type of hope.

Not really.

Yeah, its a type .....absense of real hope. Whats more funny is this what we are discussing after a game. Tells me we suck, doesnt matter who we open with.

Sorry, it's not absent; just unrealizable.

FSU last year, USC the year before, I think Michigan a year or two before that.....cupcake city.

Post of the week lol

No, no they don't.

Decent game overall. OL basically was in week 1 with the reshuffle after the injury last week. Cant wait until Trey gets to game speed. So many good things happening that didnt happen last year. Love seeing our receivers run good routes. Just need to get some holes opened on the line on both sides. Miss not having a dominate defensive line player. But I saw improvement from week 1. Looking forward to next week.

Lol, yeah we would get killed with all those cupcakes

 

[mudhen]

These days, anyone short of the Broncos or Green Bay is a cupcake to Bama...

Hasn’t helped us beat Florida in the past
