No bigger winner than Tennessee in week 1

[livefaith]

Their LOS was very poor (OL) & overrated (DL)

I've got a nasty feeling that dabo is about to get himself into a death spiral with his insistence on leading by the rules of the past. A fan base will turn on you quickly after you've said a high bar and they've become entitled. Everyone around here should understand that.

How is Klubnik considered to be a high draft prospect? I’ve just never seen it.

But have you seen his parents?

And I’m not sure I ever truly understood how lame Clemson’s entrance is….

Probably still better than South Carolina’s weird homage to Kubrick.

Elvis did it better.

Tennessee covers and wins, transfer QB looks better than the last two jokers

Alabama loses to a team that went 2-10 last year (and a team with multiple former Vols)

Nico looks like a worse version of Nico and continues his tradition of not scoring touchdowns in more than one half.

Not sure how week 1 could have realistically gone better than this. I guess we could have played a bit better on some third and longs and been a bit sharper on a few throws, but in general, this was as good as we could have asked for.

No "good" weekend is complete if UF wins.

In week 1 you cant take anything to the bank yet. I'm hoping the FSU Bama game has more to do with Bama being mediocre than FSU improving

But have you seen his parents?

Too many times!

Dude must have an uncle in the media

Maybe, maybe not but we did get to meet his parents over and over during our bowl game with them.

One of those last two "jokers" was the ultimate team player and is representing the Vols and Coach Heupel well in the NFL.

Totally agree and would give you more likes if possible. Joe Milton stuck with the team and waited for his turn. He could have bailed but he didn't. I wish nothing but the best for him!

It will be a while before we can look back and say who the "biggest winner" was in Week 1. Gotta think the early nod goes to FSU, but time will tell.

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch...

Shoutout to DeShaun Foster, UCLA Head Football Coach. On behalf of legions of Tennessee football fans, please accept our sincere appreciation for offering Nico a new home, and gifting us Joey Aguilar in return. You got the shiny Corvette with an engine stutter, and we got the 3rd-owner Dodge Charger that turned out to have a Hellcat engine under the hood.

As was said inside that tepee in "Dances with Wolves"...good trade.

I’m not sure we’ll really know how great that first game was until Syracuse plays Clemson on Sept. 20
