Now, I will get blasted for this thread but hear me out. How bizarre is it that Tennessee (as a now 9.5 dog in many places) is being picked almost routinely in media circles around the nation? How odd that Tenn is the Moneyline favorite by well over 70% in the latest I saw? And how many times has Saban's team responded to a poor game (see Tex A&M) with a dominant performance the next week. It is ridiculous but he is going to play the disrespect card to the max tomorrow - and the media (and we as a fanbase) have aided that effort. What a laugh that they get to play the no respect card......I'm talkin' about Bama! I'm just warning folks not to be shocked by ANY outcome on saturday. I'm big-time pulling for a win, but in my opinion, we will get their best effort of the year to date. For the Vols to hang close, we will have to match that effort and get some turnovers.
Of course I suffer from BVS, but we as a group have earned our angst. Just strap up tomorrow and celebrate if we win, and be reasonable if we don't. Don't fall into this media/Saban set-up trap. And Go Vols. Now flame away as is always done to a voice of reason.
