What other message boards are saying (Ball State Edition)

[FLVOL_79]

Opinions seem grounded in reality with a sprinkling of homerism in there which is to be expected. I think the 10-17 point range is achievable by Ball State. Anything under 45 for UT will be sad.

I bet similar things were said by OSU fans when they played Perdue in 2018. Or by Michigan fans when they played App State in 1997.

App played Michigan in 2007…

I'm legitimately surprised that Ball State has enough of a football following to warrant a message board website.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Yup. Not a single SEC fan base lives in reality. Ours included
But anyway…..
GO VOLS

Reality is overrated.

I don't care if we don't drop 60-70 on Ball St. to their 0-10 pts means nothing. I just want good clean play and tighten up any weaknesses.
We should beat them easily. Yeah we lost a few years ago when we should've beat the lower quality team but that wasn't a well coached, discipline team.
Drop 60+ on one of the big boys while holding their offense back...now you have something to brag about

When I was a young man going to games with my dad, he wanted to stay until the end of all of the games no matter the score. He loved the games where we dominated in the first half so he could get a look at the newcomers in the second half. He passed in 2013 and I have continued to watch or attend every stinking game (I have missed 3 since Fulmer was fired as coach) until the end.

My hope is we play a clean enough first half both on offense and defense so it is decided by half time and we get to see not only Joe Milton but Tayven Jackson in the second half along with all of the newcomers.

Reminds me of The Office episode where even in Dwight’s wildest fantasy, he’s still not the manager.

"So, in your wildest fantasy, you co-own a bed and breakfast with Satan."

If we don’t blow them out in the first quarter I’ll be dissapointed LOL

If it’s not 35-0 in the first 2 minutes we’re doomed.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

The only P5 team they played last year was a 7-6 Penn State and they lost 44-13. For this game to be even remotely competitive, we need to regress a ton and they need to improve drastically. I suspect that will not be the case. If both teams play to their respective levels I think about a 35 point margin of victory is to be expected, particularly when it's week 1 and more of a tune up game for us.

Hey, man, we've had our App State moment with Ga State. I hope.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Or by us when we played Georgia State...

Never was it illustrated more profoundly that pride comes before a fall.

Might take a qt to work kinks out 88 to 0

 

[Falcons02]

Perdue like the chicken? You mean they played South Carolina that year? The Soviet Union thought the same before the miracle on ice in 1880 as well.

Ah yes, the famous "Miracle on Ice" from 1880. I remember getting a telegraph about that
