Alphgrizz is really uninformed if he thinkgs "as fast as a running back we will see all year" plays at Montana, unless Demps transferred from Florida or isn't playing this year because of Olympic track preperation after all.

I also don't understand what the statement "we have 5 guys who would make your roster and 2 that would start" is supposed to prove. Its mathmatically the same arguement as "we have 80 guys who wouldn't make your roster and 20 guys would wouldn't start for your team, so watch out."

As far as no championships for the SEC if there was a playoff, I can't even guess at what magical thinking it takes to draw that conclusion.

The SEC has won 5 more titles than the next closest conference. Of its 7 titles, 5 different teams have won one with the SEC being undefeated in title games. It has the highest BCS bowl win percentage of conferences with more than 4 BCS appearances (MWC has .750 win rate, but only 4 appearances while SEC has a staggering .714 considering the 21 appearances). It has a winning percentage against every conference in BCS games but the Mountain West (0 - 1 from Utah beating Alabama). Its never had a title game loss.

Hell, the BCS left out an undefeated SEC team in 2004 and took a team that couldn't win its own conference one year, and the SEC is still ahead by 5 over the next closest conference even if you don't vacate the USC titles, which would be vacated even under a playoff system anyway and didn't come vs. the SEC regardless. With its conference depth and win percentage vs. other conferences in the most prestigous bowls, its impossible to reasonably argue a playoff system would hurt the SEC when it comes to winning titles.

Montana has a hell of program, perhaps the best corner in the country, a great tradition, a great state, and some great fans. Whatever point the guy who said all that nonsense is tyring to make, I don't get it. Montana doesn't have to have a chip on its shoulder for not being an SEC caliber team. They are a great program in their division. There is nothing wrong with that.

I hate Montana!

I used to sit beside a guy at work that was a Jizz...Oops I mean Grizz fan. He used to talk trash and give me a lot of crap because the VOLS were on a down turn. He always said his Grizz teams could beat the VOLS.

All I got to say is...Its game time baby! I have been wanting this matchup for years...

This is redemption for me. I cant wait for the game to be played. I'm gonna call his azz up and let him know who his daddy is after the game.

Also, for some on here that want to be nice to their fans at the game, I wouldn't! Their fans suck. Their fans talk a lot of smack! Trust me, I know several of them...For the grizz fans that show respect, I wont mess with them. For the ones that dont, I will ride their azz like a pony!

I CANT WAIT FOR THE BEAT DOWN THEY ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE!

Better call him before the game and get him to talk smack because he'll have more excuses that miles from Missoula to Knoxville

- we're FBS / D1-aa. You were supposed to win

- we've never played in front of that many people

- it was too hot for the players

- if was the first game of the year

be careful

Alphagriz does not speak for the majority of the Griz fanbase or represent us. If I was a Tennesse fan I would be a little irked myself with that post and some of the things he has stated besides this. Kinda feels like his mouth has left a bad feeling with some of your fans about the Griz nation as a whole which I understand. Wish he didn't rub so many of you the wrong way or maybe there would be a little more football talk about the game then trash talk. He pulls these antics with every team we play. He is always taking shots on every opponents chat boards. If you ever make your way over to egriz (which is the real Griz forum not maroonblood) about 90% of the Griz fans hate him and wish he wa banned from our very own board. We all know that any fb forum you go to has its bad apples. He is just one of them we got stuck with. For the poster who was interested in seeing our starting OL, if I can make time today I will actually try and get you guys our projected starting lineup to look over. Also you guys do have the superior team and should take care of my beloved Griz come Sept. 3rd. Prolly by atleast 3 TD's. I think most Griz fans are hoping to take some good experience out of this game and maybe gain a little respect from some of your fans. I will be there and am looking forward to experience the gameday at Neyland!! :good!::rock:

I never go out and attempt to say we definitely win a game before it's played but the claims made in that post were just absurd. As a fan I believe we can win every game every year and hope so, and so I can see why he feels Montana should win, but I don't think they actually know anything about our offense besides what ESPN or Sports Radio might say about them, because come the third of September their defense will be wondering how we dropped 50+ on them.

They don't know anything about us. Nor does anyone in the south. They are not alone. Everyone assumes we will suck. But the truth is, I would be disappointed if we don't win this game by 5 touchdowns.

-PS
Whoever called them the jizzlies earlier gave me a pretty good chuckle.

They need not underestimate the advantage of playing in Neyland. It's a little overwhelming your first time. Ask Cal how it went for them.

It hasn't been a proven factor for UT's behalf lately.

Running backs, very unexperienced:

4 Brett Kirschner FR RB 5-10 200 Bellevue, Wash. (Interlake HS)
28 Peter Nguyen JR RB/Ret 5-8 182 Seattle, Wash. (Bellevue HS)
35 Dan Moore JR RB 5-11 235 Tuscon, Ariz. (Mountain View HS)
26 Jordan Canada RS FR RB 5-9 172 West Covina, Calif. (Duarte HS)

You will probably see all 3 of these running backs come gameday.

I did some research on Rivals, and if the recruiting web sites mean anything, that OL will be destroyed.

Their OLine looks pretty big but how is that one guy gonna call us out and say we don't have any experience? They're starting 3 sophomores and a freshman? I'm pretty sure our 4 sophomores(fulton, bullard, stone, and james) and 1 junior(thomas) have more quality experience considering they went against SEC defenses and some of them were ranked top in the nation not just in the SEC.

Guess we'll see come 15 days and 13 hours from now.

Every fan base has their A-holes and we certainly have our share, but most of our folks are very passionate fans and certainly want to win but aren't butt-holes. We can be passionate but still respect your team's right to play and their fans. It's just some of them go overboard and I think that's true everywhere. Tennesseans, for the most part, are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. When it comes to VOL ball though, they're definitely into it 100%, me included. You may have a good team this year and we are still rebuilding but I'd be surprised if we didn't score at least 50. I would also be surprised if your team scores more than 14. We won't know until the game is played. For most TN fans, we want to see improvement from last year not necessarily a wipeout.

I respect Montana. They're a great program at their level...but if this is a good game, we got problems.

Hopefully you can get this link. I'm not very good with computers but here goes it. This is Jordan Canada RB for us. We have yet to see him play ourselves since he was redshirted last year. Don't quote me but if I remember reading right he was being recruited by basically every Pac 12 school and something happened his senior year and he didn't play ball so the Griz scooped him up. Maybe just me but his highlights are impressive.

Thanks for your response, and a rational one at that. We have our fair share of *******s on VN, so please overlook them the same as we will Alpha.

Your trip to Neyland will be one you never forget! You should def come down early and experience some of the tailgaiting before kickoff...most people are nice and enjoy meeting the other teams fans as long as you bring your own beer lol....once inside the stadium, get ready for an amazing gameday experience! It is unlike any other in the nation!

Yeah again I'm not exactly sure who our starters are yet, but it's very possible I made a mistake cuz I don't think we are starting that young of a OL.
