Not going to lie, I don't do this for my favorite teams. However, it reminds me of the night before every game from midget through high school and I think you for that. As a kid and young man, two nights were always the toughest to sleep due to thoughts running wild Christmas Eve and the night before every game I ever played in. It always went the same the night before any game...

Thinking about my my assignment on various plays.
Thinking about celebrating TD's with my team.
Thinking what if I get injured and then spending 20 minutes shaking the thought.
Thinking of my coach chewing me out and how that won't happen tomorrow, he always found a reason.
Thinking what if we lose, that is a feeling you should never get used to.
Thinking about the feeling of winning. No mater how many games you win, it never gets old.

I would then rinse and repeat until I drifted off. If you feel any bit of that way tonight, you luckily mother ....

I think that's the feeling every athlete gets, the only difference for me was I NEVER thought about getting hurt. I guess out of fear of jinx. I also NEVER got the what if we lose feeling even when we were the underdogs. I played with plenty guys that did but i was so competitive that the thought of actually losing never crossed my mind before a game. I know when i did sleep I would dream about making impact plays in key moments.

What job do you have?

I’m guessing Aaron gets to work this Saturday as a Silverware roller at Texas Roadhouse.

I’m extremely joyful because I’ll be watching the 11am College Football games , all of College Gameday, the entire Tennessee vs Georgia football game on a HD TV, etc.

I’m also not nervous because I’m confident the rocking and rolling playing great Volunteers are going to show on a afternoon that they are a undeniable great team because of not backing the hell down from the damn Bully Georgia Bulldogs that has embarrassed them for the last 2 consecutive seasons, make it a 12 rounds boxing match keeping the game close and completive for 60 minutes, showing they can run the Football using Chandler and Gray, play the effective great they need to win and outplaying a great Bulldogs team including Guarantano has a great game for throwing with no great mistakes also runs for a touchdown this time no frustrating fumble vs a great undefeated SEC team on the road, and the Volunteers defense hits Bennett so damn freakin hard that he’ll be wishing he wasn’t starting.

Gurantano wants to show he has become a great QB which he would do by being a primary reason why the Volunteers win this heavy lifting game and I’m confident he does that.


Take the fight to the damn Georgia Bulldogs, and hit them repeatedly till they fall down.
If the Tennessee Volunteers win this Saturday it won’t be because Tennessee benefited from that common Georgia had its bad Saturday, instead because Tennessee executed on the field more than Georgia to win.

Such a great one! I had it on YouTube earlier this week.

Coach Fulmer’s halftime interview about the QB controversy between SOPHOMORES Colquitt and Shuler in preseason was a great reminder.

Players make plays. Who will write their destiny today? (I’m rooting for JG, personally)

GBO!!

I expect multiple persons others are rooting for JG because this is his 1st chance this season to show the Country he’s become a great QB with a road win vs a great team.


I know that he’ll have 2 other chances because the Volunteers play a likely still great Auburn Tigers in Auburn, and the Juggernaut Alabama Crimson Tide that will be the most challenging for challenging games as usual.
He has proven committed to the Volunteers team because multiple times he could have quit including after the fumble Fiasco in Alabama which is extremely depressing because of happening late 4th in that challenging game.
He’s proven to be physically tough including not afraid of getting hit freakin Alabama have failed to make him afraid and other teams haven’t , committed because he had a long seasons of growing pains before what most likely can be his great starting senior season which is why I call him a admirable champion.

Excellent to see that his years of commitment give him what he and the Volunteers desire most that is the fruitful result that is him leading the Bright Orange Volunteers to a great win by defeating the Georgia Bulldogs in a made 12 rounds boxing match for the 60 minutes football game.
Others can call this a street fight except I want to be original that’s why I’m choosing the metaphorical 12 rounds boxing match, and the Georgia Bulldogs are a heavyweight Lennox Lewis foe that is beatable.

I would’ve gone with Deontay Wilder, but I’m Scotch Irish. Analogy still works. #gypsyking

You can use that if you want.

I expect the Volunteers to be as tenacious as the MCU Captain America they don’t give up the hell up which they’ll need when they play a heavyweight Georgia Bulldogs team since I expect the Volunteers are going to have make great plays needed to win a close game including the 4th quarter if the game is close and winnable in the 4th quarter.

They didn’t play the complete game vs Alabama because of a 4th quarter meltdown along with other bush league self destructing penalties that’s why the Volunteers need to show do better than just keep the game close for most of the game, win this game by defeating a great Georgia Bulldogs team.
Keeping a game close and not winning is a hugely disappointing defeat that is “close but not cigar” aka a pretty loss.
