Tenn smokes an SEC team on the same day Bama loses to an unranked team. When was the last time that happened?
Impressed with coach right now. The fact he is winning with less than 70 players right now is astounding (our 70+ active members minus injuries). I love the way the future looks right now.Sorry. I am a little late to the party. Bama lost to an unranked Louisiana Monroe on November 17, 2007, Saban‘s first year. We squeaked by Vandy 25 to 24, not a blow out. Hopefully there are many more to come!
Have you noticed Vol fans are starting to call Josh Heupel “coach” now? Not Coach Heupel, not CJH, just “coach”. Stop and think about that a minute. The previous coaches all were referred to on Volnation by a name or initials, Kiffin, Dooley, Butch, Pruitt. I don’t think I have heard a UT coach called simply “coach” (by the fans I mean) since Fulmer. It is like he is the coach and needs no more identification. It is a sign of respect that I think is somehow significantImpressed with coach right now.

Any given Saturday...That has been on my mind a bit. Are we so far behind TAM that we could not pull off an upset with BAMA? I am not sure how their team compares to ours, but they did all the things necessary to beat BAMA. Yes, it was a home game and that accounts for something too. Can we keep up with BAMA and take them by surprise? We have shown something the last 2 games. Missouri and SC are not BAMA by any stretch of the imagination, but we could have a chance?
Great Day
