This horrendously long offseason is finally behind us. Everyone is gearing up for the season with trash talk, and with the hype train at full force, our opponents have plenty to say about us.
Bowling Green was a tough read. They really only have one message board worth reading, so I had to get creative. They have a couple of others, but there wasn't much to grab from them. I decided to look at comments on YouTube videos, rival message boards where they have frequent posters, and other UT boards to hunt for visitors. So for the first edition of this thread for 2015, here's what the Falcon faithful are saying about their upcoming matchup with UT:
-Their most frequented message board is called "ay-ziggy-zoomba"...... which is apparently the name of their fight song.
-They take a lot of pride in their WR Roger Lewis. Apparently that's their playmaker.
-I saw a few posters saying they really wish this game was in Neyland, which is certainly a compliment to how famous our stadium is.
-WilliamDuVOL seems to be frequenting one of their message boards, and is well received.
-There seems to be a good deal of respect for Dobbs. I imagine we'll see that on a lot of message boards this year.
-Fun fact: They just switched to Nike as well.
-These guys actually follow recruiting very closely. I was impressed. There were more threads discussing possible commits and recruits than there were the actual team.
-They've had some off the field issues this offseason. I can't get a grip on how important some of the lost/suspended players were, but there definitely seems to be some conduct issues.
-Ouch:
-Occasionally I will see a couple of posters chime in with talk of us overlooking them due to Oklahoma. Or talk of us being overrated. That usually gets shut down pretty quick though:
-The hopefuls are resting their hope on the fact that they may catch us off guard with their "high-paced offense."
-The naysayers are pretty upset about the scheduling of this game. Apparently they would have opened the season with South Carolina State, and they got UT instead after the UAB ordeal.
-Defensive size seems to be a concern:
A poster replied with some updated weights that showed some defensive players have put on a few more pounds, I thought this response was funny:
-One poster was referring to the startling size of our team. His exact words were "Their WR unit looks like a basketball team!"
-This whole thread is a decent read. It's basically a breakdown of both teams from a fan perspective. It's a long read, but to sum it up: Great offense, terrible defense for them this year.

-There is a poster on ay-ziggy-zumba that considers himself as a bit of a "Michigan football expert" who had plenty to say about DeBord, and it wasn't positive.
-General score predictions have us winning by 14-20 with it being a high-scoring affair. Though to be fair, there are plenty of predictions that have us winning by well over 20.
Side note here, I want to say thanks to VN for the support you guys give me on these threads. I've seen a lot of this mentioned in the offseason. I get just as excited about all the support I get as I do the occasional "these threads are stupid, who gives a s**t what other message boards are saying" posts
