[BigOrange88]

[dembewbs]

kiffin isnt trying to talk

 

[JTrainDavis]

I love the thousand mile stare/glare from Lane at the scuffling after the play

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Go Vols!

Great freakin' effort today. I'm so happy right now.

 

[VOL_FAN_in KY]

Nice start to the Kiffin era!!!

 

[cwil4]

the lane kiffin era has officially begun

 

[turn3]

WOW....I was wanted him to break that for a TD.

 

[JonWard]

Feel bad for Poole..almost got 2 TDs...good hustle though. 70 (or 69) would have been sweet.

 

[mrsvol]

Very pleased to win and win BIg today!!! Very impressed with the freshmen play today...way to come in and contribute. Recruits pay attention! Yes it is just WKY but it is a BIG win as it SHOULD be. Next week will tell a lot more...but this was a great start. BTW way to compete until the end!!! GO vols!!!

 

[tri_vol]

What a way to ended it! You can tell these players will literally fight to the end.

 

[volintears]

[VOL RN]

[Volfan_TrappedN_KY]

In all honesty...we shoulda won 90-7

 

[HawaiiVol]

[iceman9]

He's not draggin his daughter out there, oh wait....

 

[Crew]

Good win.

 

[give_him 6]

Been fun on this thread today. Nothing better than winning.

 

[lylsmorr]

So honestly guys, do you think we will have a rocking year or does it look good because we are facing a cupcake?
For me I am waiting until we face a good opponent until I start saying we are gonna have a great year.

Well if you want my completely biased opinion, I believe we are going to work like heck and surprise the country! Tennessee FTW!!!! I'm really pleased with today's game. Especially when I see a team like Iowa struggling against FCS Northern Iowa.

 

[Soda]

Career day for numerous players!!

 

[Volgrad98]

Great win...I am speechless. (sort of) I scared the hell out of the dog today yelling for joy

 

[VOL RN]

CLK doesn't smile much eh?

 

[MDBJJC]

Sooooo

Just came back from the game. Thing I noticed about UT is that they are PHYSICAL. Defense POPS. O line looked strong, and RBs ran hard.

QB is still suspect. If we can eliminate turnovers, whoaaa boy. I really felt like we were watching a team in the mid 1990s. First time I have felt like that in a LOOOONG time.

Go Vols
