Feels like '98

[Yikesman]

No... this team isn't that good. Crap like this is not helping. Let's admit this team needs to improve and just care about them winning the next game.

Totally agree. The defense is Top Five quality. IMO, the offense isn't even Top 15. The offensive talent is certainlyTop 5, but the offensive coaching staff sucks, actually.

Why are we running it up the middle on 3rd and long? Last week against Arkansas: 2nd and 15, run up the middle. The very next play on 3rd and 12, run up the middle. Sure, Nico has trouble connecting on the long pass. So why aren't we developing the short passing game with screens and out in the flats. I'm just an armchair doofus, and most of the time I can guess the next offensive play. No doubt the opposing defense is dialed in.

God I hope this defense can keep it together. Because this offense is hard to watch. Nico is well "Bless his Heart"

 

[Yikesman]

Nope. Team has problems including the coaches. We need a lot of work.

Coaching is right! Joey Halzle needs to be fired. He's never heard of a trick play. No short passing game to break it up. On third and long, you can always count on him to call a play to run it up the middle. PUNT!

You are the greatest troll I’ve ever seen I’ll give you that

Not a thing about this season feels like 98

 

[CPVOL]

That's the sort of win that galvanizes a team to a national championship.

We're gonna remember that when we're in a close battle in the college football playoff.

Ok. Napier outcoaches our guy back to back seasons. You don’t see that as a major issue ?

Brother, we BARELY beat one of the worst Florida teams of the past 20 years, and their coach will be fired this year.. we're not going to the playoffs, much less a shot at the natty. Cool down.

I don't think Florida is as bad as you think. They'll get some upset wins this year. And we tried to give this game away and still won. That's the type of win players will remember the next time adversity hits.

At the end of the day the win/loss column reads 5-1. Style points don't matter. Wins and losses do.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

We’ve played some extremely bad teams. And struggled.

Edit: shoulda checked the OP

Good thing we got nothing but more bad teams on the schedule. Next up is the team Vandy beat and South Carolina pushed to the brink. 6-1 incoming.

This x1000

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

More like 2016.

Nah. We were undefeated that year at this point. One loss and we fell apart. We proved tonight we can overcome a bad loss and gut out a win.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

You’re also the one who said you were betting big money on bama and UT to cover.

No. I said I would wait until the game started to bet cause I thought 15 points was about right. I knew Florida would start strong and the line would come down. I waited until Florida was up 10-0 and got Tennessee on the moneyline at +140. I took that to the bank betting 5% of my bankroll. Let's say today was a good Saturday for me cause even with losing the Bama game I ended up turning a profit in the Tennessee game.

Next week will be my big week though cause I have a really good feeling how the games next week will go. I'll be betting big in the Tennessee/Alabama and Georgia/Texas games. There will be incredible value in those games if the lines come in where I expect.

No!! It doesn't feel like 98. YOU'RE A IDIOT!!!

Last time Tennessee and Florida played an OT game was 1998.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Except 98 we didn't have a loss.

True. But we should've lost to Arkansas. Needed all-time luck to pull that one out. Good thing in the 12 team playoff era we don't need to be undefeated to make the playoff.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That's what you said about 2016.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Tee Martin was worlds ahead of Nico in 98.

Right now that's true. But Nico has room for growth. I think he'll be way better by the end of the season. His talent is obvious. He just needs to put it together.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Last time Tennessee and Florida played an OT game was 1998.

We also beat Arkansas that year.

ROFL, we were up 14-3 hoss. We blew the game.

 

[TC 83]

Better than last weeks “feels like 2017” vibe.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

ROFL, we were up 14-3 hoss. We blew the game.

I meant in 1998. Clint Stoerner's gaff gave us that win at Arkansas.

 

[KoachKrab127]

Tee Martin was worlds ahead of Nico in 98.

Tee Martin was 7/20 for 64 yards against Florida in 1998, and he was 5/14 for 68 yards against Auburn as well. He was not worlds ahead of Nico. Tee did improve throughout the season in ‘98. I hope Nico does this year too.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

That's what you said about 2016.

Which means we're due.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

And the resident clown shows up again. Ah D4H remember when you said the UF game was an easy win? . Feels like 98??? Not even close. In 98 I didn’t think we would lose to Vandy and UK.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

You're like the exact opposite of an idiot negavol. Congrats.....I think.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

You must not remember Tee very well. He was a below average QB.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

You're j

No he isn’t. D4H is certifiably insane.
