Is just pissing the team off. Thanks fans and media! If you haven't noticed, this team plays best when they are cornered. Tennessee will play it's most complete game of the year against TAMU because you have told them they can't win. Vols roll.

I hope they win and think they will win, but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone is surprised that we are the underdog in this game.

I'm glad they are the underdog. More gain if you win. Less loss if you lose. I also think it drives the team to push a little harder.

I am not surprised we are underdogs but I am surprised by the "surrendering " I have read on here . Thank God some on here never served in the military.

This team doesn't "think" they can win. To the man they KNOW they can win.
Attitude and believing will not be an issue.

I keep telling myself the same thing. However, I'm really worried about all of our missing pieces. I think Hurd plays, and with a chip on his shoulder from the Georgia game. We probably "shouldn't" win this game, but I can't count these VOLS out unlit someone takes us out. Let's do this VOLS!!!!

Recognizing the strengths in your opponent vs your weaknesses isn't "surrendering". This will be a tough game for both teams and a bounce here and there could make the difference in the final result.

I served for 12 years and have no ****ing idea what the military has to do with any of this.

Some of them will be calling for Jones' head if we lose, even though they think we don't stand a chance. It's who they are. Don't fret oone minute over them.

The injuries we have are brutal and we're playing on the road vs a very good, higher ranked team. But...the recruiting has brought us decent depth and it will be put to the test big time.

Everything about the timing of this game looks like it is against the Vols. It will be an epic win to pull this off...but it's possible.

The Negas are just dying for us to lose already this season. Considering we're still 5-0, they're running out of negative things to say about this team. Once Jones loses his first game, you can bet they'll be calling for his head.

It makes sense that we're the underdog. It makes no sense to act as if aTM is an unbeatable powerhouse.

That's not what this thread is about and not what I said. OP is crying and pulling the true fan card with the belief that it is a crime against orange humanity that UT is the underdog in this game.

It wasn't negative towards you. I was just saying they believe they can win. I should've added a "too" in my post. I can see how it looked to you. My bad.

I don't think so. I think he's tired of hearing about it. I think a lot of us are tired of it.

Who gives a rats azz. All the talking heads said they seen us going 10-2 this year or possibly 11-1 before the season. So what if we get beat the next two games? I think we have done a good job staying on par with this considering our defensive injuries.

They better know they can win every single game on the schedule. Otherwise, we have a problem.
