Official Gramps' Memorial Eternal OT Thread

[LouderVol]

Even without the injuries I wanted to see us get dedicated to the run. That is how we control games, teams, and set tempos.

My issue was not going to the short passes more. I know they were in tight man for most of it. But there was some plays we left on the field not going to the easy play on the outside. And trying to do WR screens and reverse/end arounds. That wasn't working with how fast they were playing on D.

Did anyone else get nervous when the backup QB came in?

Is my BVS still that bad?

You weren’t the Lone Ranger, my BVS started to act up too.

Fortunately for us it took him a bit to get settled in; he was definitely an improvement over the starting QB. I hope we don't get tested on the backup QB thing many times with our history. It's amazing that opposing coaches never figured it out and simply switched to alternate QBs when we came to town.

I may be absolutely crazy or still on a high from last night but in my uneducated opinion left over fire pit chili is the bomb.

I was wrong in my criticism of CJH for running the ball every snap of the 2nd half but 2 or 3. I thought Campbell was back after that injury scare in the 1st half. Turns out he played a quarter or less of the entire game....so we had our 2nd team Tackle at LT for Heard, and our 3rd team Tackle at RT for Campbell. They got their azzes handed to them regularly against that stout OK front, so Hype went run only in the 2nd half to keep Nico from getting hurt. He knew our defense could hold them under 20 points and wasnt going to take the risk unnecessarily. Smart strategy by a smart Coach. Guess i saw Fulmer go into TurtleMode with a lead so many times, only to be upset at the end by SEC rivals...so when i saw what appeared to be the same strategy I was concerned. Props to McDad for seeing that in realtime, i was oblivious until after the game.

Fun Fact: those 2 bad sacks which Nico fumbled each were because the RB didnt pick up the Edge when they easily beat our backup tackles. Once by Sampson, Once by Bishop. They both whiffed on their blocks after the guys ran around/over/thru our backup Tackles. Its only fair to credit each back with allowing half a sack/fumble though, since the tackles had to get whipped 1st in each case to necessitate the RBs picking up a DE running free.

All in all this was a pretty dominant game and wasnt as close as the final score indicates. Our defense is legit no doubt. Also, those Sharps betting on the game lost their azzes. We have beat the spread in all 4 games this year now. G0 VOLS.

and after the fumble at the goal line, Bishop was in for Sampson for the next few series

Good guys up to 5 in the AP poll! Misery dropped four even after winning. Kept it too close with Candy

Got 2 weeks to get healthy before going to play Arky, looking forward to my in-laws refusing to talk to me for a year or so.

We desperately need Heard and Campbell healthy.

In 2008 Tennessee scored 208 points total on the season and finished 5-7. God what a terrible year.

Tennessee has scored 216 points so far through the 4-0 start.

Do with this what you will.

With cornbread and a cold beer?

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Chili is like lasagna, spaghetti, etc and is actually better leftover than when 1st made. In all 3 cases the noodles/beans absorb all the tasty juices and the stuff thickens up because of it. In the case of spaghetti, throw extra cheese on top and heat it back up in the oven instead of microwave for baked spaghetti. Good stuff.

For anybody in Norman, I'm wearing my blue lady vols jersey so I stand out. Come say hello, and don't punch me in the face.

My jersey invited a lot of attention, positive and negative. I got **** talked several times and it was mostly terrible. My favorite was when a guy said, "what's a Volunteer? Nobody knows." And I said, "it's in the dictionary. Is a Sooner in there?"

Another guy tried to tell me the stadium was the other direction and other OU fans I guess saw this as very toxic and tried to apologize. Very nice people for the most part.

And I met Sam Henderson, who scored a TD in the Sugar Bowl vs. Miami.

They just mad at you because if there was no Tennessee, there would be no Texas...

Absolutely on the cornbread. I love me a cold glass of milk, but not while eating chili, gotta have a good cold beer or some sweet tea at least.

I like my milk with chili, never considered cornbread.

Man, our timing was so weird. Friday night dinner was at 11 pm and saturday night was even later. Ended up going to Brickyard Brewery, Del Taco, and did find King's BBQ, which was great

Bricktown Brewery is pretty good depending on the one you go to. The one downtown is pretty decent.

I used to destroy some Del Taco. Reminded me of what Taco Bell was 25 years ago (yes, it sucked then too, just sucked less than now).

Haven't had Kings, but this place is littered with hole in the wall BBQ places.

This is my goto cornbread, coarse grained and not sweet. Plus lots of fresh Jalepenos.
