Said "You watch some teams who win miraculous fashion and say "maybe it's their year," and others "that brick wall is coming." The latter is the Tennessee Volunteers."

Just beat A&M -- beat A&M and they will finally shut their stupid holes about luck this and pretender that. We're not perfect but we are a damn sight better than people still want to give us credit for. Hope the Vols show up bigtime for this game.

Not really a big surprise that the toughest part of the year is in the next two weeks. They just gotta run through it

People act like we have won every game this year miraculously. My reply to this guy would be that every championship team finds a way to win, that's exactly what we have done. They also have one game a year where it seems they are going to lose and pull it off in the final seconds.

It's very possible but its also possible we slap the $$$$ out of A&M and then it's Tennessee vs Alabama Part I, part 2 will be played in Atlanta

Oh great, another yahoo saying that Tennessee is just a lucky team.

You see, I guarantee if Bama followed this exact script this year it would be "Alabama is just so mature and resilient. Their team just cannot be put down. Really impressive how Saban has this team playing hard till the clock hits 0:00."

Instead, it's "Tennessee is just not that good. They have played nobody. You can't be lucky forever. Expect them to get run over by TAMU and A-luh-Bama."

I'm curious to see how we respond to being underdogs this week. I don't like to sound cliche but in a way we are playing with house money this week. I'm gathering that we aren't expected to win by a lot of people this weekend, go out and do it.

This is one of the biggest fallacies of human nature when analyzing sports. I believe there is emotion involved in sports obviously and that it can alter performance to a degree, but looking at games in isolation is a terrible way to predict the future and accounting for things like "comebacks", etc. are far overvalued.

There are 60 minutes in a football game. All 60 count. Just because Tennessee turned it on in the second half of some games hardly means that it will happen that way again, but what is important is the stats and plays accumulated throughout the entire game.

This is why I never turned the game off Saturday. If we were going to lose I was going down with ship lol everything came full circle on that Hail Mary.

And just because Tennessee has come out flat several times this year and dug themselves a hole doesn't mean it will happen again. So....your point is....what?

Given the opinions of the "experts", Aggie fans and those geniuses that send tweets to the Paul Finebaum show; I don't know why we're even showing up Saturday. We, apparently, won't give them as good a game as Prairie View did.

Sheesh!

Seriously.... This is also the 3rd straight year ATM has opened 5-0. We all know how that's worked or in the past. They have something to prove as well.

...and I'm sure Kyle Field is a spectacle and loud. But please stop acting like we've never seen anything like that before as if we didn't just play in front of 92,000 a few days ago.

Who were the hosts on The Playbook today? I'm guessing Childers.

60 minutes, Vols. Thwart TAMU's rush with scheme and execution. Fluster Knight. Create turnovers. Defensive scores. "Win" special teams. Tennessee victory in College Station.
