Greg McElroy picking Tennessee Upset Saturday

[Pride85]

Cavput is well beyond cautiously pessimistic. He is "pessimistic until proven otherwise, and then pessimistic again next week anyway." Heh.

Go Vols!

I was trying to be a nicer person in line with the guidelines of your earlier post.

You've always been a nicer person than me, anyway. I appreciate the sentiment.

But Cavput totally knows this about himself. It's his thing. I don't get it, but I like him even while not understanding him. Heh.

Go Vols!

The talking heads have never been predictive of an outcome in my experience. They are wrong as often as they are right and I expect its on purpose.

Serving plenty of “disrespect” for Kirby to slather on his Dawgs pregame and half time.

 

[chuckiepoo]

This is in line with most of your predictions. You are not a negavol, but I would put you in the cautiously pessimistic category.

Full blown BVS

Vegas / betting influencing as well. I think people would be shocked to learn how the oddsmakers use talking heads to influence betting lines.

Still trying to make up for throwing shade at CTV.

Paranoia runs deep in this one.

More Spidey sense than paranoia.

Even the "experts" are being fooled by Kirby's sandbagging. The offense they ran against Austin Peay was Tecmo Bowl vanilla. They won't be the same team on Saturday. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to whip them by several scores--but they will be ready to play. If we win it will be a close one.

He's FULL BLOWN negavol. Straight up troll.

When the pundits don't pick UT to win it is because they hate the Vols. It is also a jinx when we actually get picked to win.

Yes sir. You know the rules. No pre-Madonnas here.

Vols over GA isn’t a crazy pick. Both teams are good. Both teams have a lot of work to do. It’s in Knoxville. I’ll believe it when I see it, but again, not a crazy pick.

Yep, at this point I won't be surprised if we win, but theres no way I have a strong confidence that its a given we end the streak. Its become like the Alabama and Florida series where I cannot predict a victory until I see us win one against them. All said, JH has turned somewhat of a corner anyway in being able to beat UF and Bama multiple times now in his short tenure here. Its time to do the same in the UGA series.

Honest question: who ranks the Vols #11 right now? From the first paragraph of the article: "The stakes in Knoxville could not be higher this weekend. Sixth-ranked Georgia travels to Neyland Stadium to face No. 11 Tennessee in one of the most anticipated matchups of Week 3."

Where's that coming from? AP and Coaches both have us at #15. ESPN FPI has us #9. SP+ has us #6. I see no source that says #11.

Anyone else see it?

Go Vols!

15+15+9+6 = 45, 45 ÷ 4 = 11.25 They just did the math lol

More food for the Kirby hype talk.

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

 

[ftsandersvol]

I feel like they are trying to jinx us.

They may as well have Miss Cleo making predictions about college football games. I can’t believe there are so many *sshats being paid such good money just to make guesses about what they think is going to happen.
