I love the smell of Old Spice at noon in Tampa. Smells like... victory!

The Vols should douse themselves with Old Spice just before kickoff. The purple 'dores will be all wtf? and we'll confuse their minds.

Obviously I'm a bit late on this, as several threads have already been posted on VN about their message boards. But I figured I would wait until game week to post.

It wasn't easy to find much discussion about the game, but I certainly saw a lot more confidence than what the media thinks. They respect Dobbs/Hurd/Kamara, but they respect their own defense more. Without further ado, here's what the Northwestern faithful are saying about Saturday's matchup in a bowl they have no business playing in:


--------------------------------------------------------------


-Their lack of message board discussion really does reach comical levels. Here's the first 5 posts of a thread started by Vol fans to discuss the game:







a few more posts from that thread I thought were funny:







-There is a thread discussing our beat-up session against Iowa last year, but it seems to be mostly talk of how much Iowa has improved, and essentially we only beat them because they were a terrible team last year.

-There is a question from a UT fan on their boards asking what it would mean to their program to win this game. The responses were.... confident..... is the best word I can use to describe them.






-This was great. An Iowa fan posted on their board wishing them luck against us, saying for them to give us and the SEC a "black eye." This was a visiting Vol fans response:




-This was already covered in a separate thread regarding their message board chatter, but they have a thread about Tennessee fans. Basically saying we are whiney, we stick up for our criminal players if they are "good players", most of us didn't attend UT, we always blame the refs, etc etc.

-This tells you where they are in recruiting:




-They are upset about getting the Outback instead of Citrus. They believe they deserve it over Michigan, but they seen to be making themselves feel better by saying Northwestern "Still gets a big stage, but a much weaker opponent."

-They started a thread during Bowling Green's bowl game, saying "Tennessee's best win is playing." Apparently a 10-2 Bowling Green team is a better win than a Top 25 Georgia team. But let's be honest, they're Big 10. They refuse to believe strength of schedule is an actual concept.

-They believe Tennessee will get a "dose of reality" and a "lesson in big boy football" at the line of scrimmage.

-I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to interpret this:




-They call us "Voles"

-Uh oh, look out everyone:




-Can someone confirm this? Surely this is an exaggeration.




-This is what we call "reaching":







I've honestly never done one of these threads where I was able to pull such gems of quotes. Almost makes me wish we played them every year, although I prefer to play against teams the world actually cares about.

9-4 and a potential Top 10 ranking going in to 2016 are within our grasp. Let's pack out Tampa and get loud!!

Also, side note here: Thank you all for your support on these threads all year long. I enjoy doing them and they seem very well received. Obviously this will be the last one until we see what Appy State fans are saying, then it's The Battle of Bristol Edition! Until next year, friends.

Thanks Chatt-town. I was literally in tears laughing while reading this. Who the hell gets on the Internet and posts the sort of crap that self proclaimed tailgate bouncer posted? 1) you're not the only one who lifts brahhh and 2) we are from the effin south; try some of the $h!t you say you're going to do and I promise you'll end up shot and hoping you make it to the hospital in time to save your miserable excuse of a life

Anyways, this should be a great game. I hope we crush them just like we did on New Year's Day in 1997 so these losers can crawl back into their holes while choking on crow. GBO!!!!

Phil also says he will not tolerate any openly disparaging remarks towards Northwesterns many fans who live alternative lifestyles. They will be treated with respect, and appreciated for being strong and brave.

NU alums have to be loving their boy Phil. Surely it was written in their version of blue font.

It was. It seems to be a beloved 'character' on their sites and his exploits are similar to our varied player exaggeration here. Their regulars took time to explain for visitors.

You went out on top. I spit coffee on my monitor. The ghost board comments were classic.

Thanks for doing this all year.

I will be sure to take plenty of pictures of the Northwestern fan(s) to try and find Phil for ridicule post game.

The dude talking about Old Spice like 4 times makes me think it was a joke...but if it isn't, that is the most fantastic thing I have ever seen. That is like master level keyboard warrioring.

On a side note, Northwestern fans seem to be the only ones that think they have a chance. It's weird how they talk that much crap considering the team they are a fan of...a team that has been trash for the vast majority of its existence. And they have the stones to say we aren't a blue-blood? Bro, do you even college football history? Obviously not if you think Florida qualifies as an SEC blue-blood. They are pretty sad overall as fanbase and they are about to get a wake up call.

As far as the cold weather comment goes, I guess they haven't heard of Mizzou.

That silly cold weather argument has been a Big Ten fan favorite for decades. You hear it every bowl season. It's like the loser of a foot race telling the winner he would've won if they had been running in sand or wearing boots. It's like the loser on Jeapordy telling the winner that things would be different if it weren't for the cameras. It's a ridiculous argument, but I guess it's all they've got. And they're not smart enough to even be embarrassed saying it.

Nothing makes a competition more equal than having two opponents playing in ideal conditions. Winner take all. No excuses. But hey, when you're a loser, sometimes excuses are comforting.

Just to be clear... NU is the MUCH higher Rated Team ! We are favored from the 23rd slot against the #13 Team....explain that ????

NU played 3 "good" teams. None are in the playoff. Stanford won the Pac12 with two losses over and 8-5 team. NU did beat them in the first game. Stanford didn't figure out how to use McCartney until game three. An 0-12 UCF team actually held him to fewer yards than NU did.

The other two good teams they play absolutely pounded NU. Michigan had 380 yds in total O to NU's 168. Iowa had 492 to NU's 198. Combined score was 78-10. It is worth noting that Iowa did it without their #1 RB. Wadley who came into the game with only 8 carries on the season went for over 200 yds vs NU.

UT played 5 good teams. Likewise, they only beat one of them. But... they weren't outclassed by any of the rest. The widest margin of loss was 7 points in 2 OT's to a team in the playoff.



But beyond all of that.... UT has a better roster. They're bigger, faster, quicker, and stronger. Both coaches demand and get disciplined play. Both coaches teach execution and assignment football. Frankly, neither has proven themselves to be gameday geniuses. But all things being equal... the team with the best players will usually win. That's UT by a fairly significant margin.

PS- Be careful folks. There are a few righteous posters here apt to lecture you for being disrespectful to opposing teams and fans.
