Thin skinned or no spine..🙄.

You don't even know how these two teams match up on paper! Much less an actual analysis .

Call me thin skinned or whatever you want, but I KNOW we stand a damn good chance to WIN today.

We'll revisit later. Mr. REALITY

Own up to it, Mr. REALITY...

Seems a terrible disposition to have at your age.
50 years is a long time to feel like your team is inferior on all 3rd Saturdays in October.

You do you man...

The square root of the ineligible ratio vs the magnanimous statistical difference averted by the covert defense should mitigate the offset lateral binary codes that auspiciously are considered inaccurate.

Therefore, this is total PROOF that the Vols Win!!!! DUH!!!!!

A play here and there ,that LSU game would be alot closer than that .. We have NO pass defense..I've never seen a secondary this bad . But we are supposed to beat Bama with Saban and a Heisman trophy winner QB. I understand the hope and happiness after all these years but every one ignores this and think we will just run over bama ..

Heisman Trophy Winner QB? You mean the ESPN Hypesman Award. Bryce Young is a good QB but he’s also behind an O-line of solid 5 stars. Does that make him the best player in the country? Give me a break. Is BY as good as the Michigan QB this year? Could he duplicate what Hooker has done at UT? BY is talked about in the media and placed on a pedestal only because he’s the Bama QB, period. The Saban and Bama player worship is repulsive. UT is very capable and can win this game.

30% 🤔
Why not 40 or 45%??
Hell, 15 percent lol!?

Where's the logic in those percentages?
Click to expand...

Actually 30% is about right - based on what is going on with the betting in Vegas - Vegas wins about 70% of the time when things look too good to be true and all the money is on - in this case Tennessee. And that's just against the spread. Our percentage of winning the game based on the professional gamblers and betters is less than 30 %. They have to be right most of the time - it is their business to know percentages and bet accordingly. So the OP is probably correct. Play hard, catch a break or two - who knows.

until proven wrong, I look for an LSU type beatdown! At the end of their game, A & M moved the ball at will! Why not the Vols! I think we prove we are the best in the nation!

Kirk’s comments on gameday are what my big fear is. Just when you think Alabama looks beatable, they end up looking like Alabama.

Which was a completely meaningless comment by the way. Based on nothing more than superstition. “Bama plays good when people think they won’t play good”. It’s not even a measurable statistic because Bama is literally always favored in every game they play. Impossible to argue with.

Kirk picked the Gators and was the only one on the panel who picked them. Just like today. He hates UT. I hope he gets embarrassed again for picking poorly.

My fear is a Alabama win today breaks us breaks our souls like Bama has done so many times with Saban to teams on the up and up like us. And we end up fading out fast losing to Kentucky and Mizzou or South Carolina and Georgia after a hangover from a Bama loss. I just hope this team’s will and resolve and ability to bounce back is stronger than the 2016 team in case Bama does deliver a massive beatdown to us today

Do I think we have our best chance to win in a long time? Yes! But let’s be realistic, Alabama is ahead of us in talent ability overall. Top 3 recruiting classes every year with many being #1. Talent doesn’t always win but it sure helps. I realistically think we have about 30% chance of winning. We have to have some breaks and minimize our miscues. Of course my opinion is just that, mine-and Tennessee nor Alabama could care less.

I believe you are accurate in this opinion though Alabama is weaker than they have been in a while. To win, our 'suspect' backend on Defense is going to have to play out of their minds. Come out loose and avoid mistakes though, and we do have our best chance in a long time. Long run, finish out the season strong and that 'recruiting advantage' for Alabama is going to start shrinking fast.

Yeah that’s why I really really didn’t want them to lose last week because Saban has EVER lost back to back games after his first year at Bama right???
ueah when everyone is on Tennessee, Bama alike screw that score 50 points and make everyone worship them all over again…
BUCK FAMA!!!!

Why are we trying to bum everyone out before the biggest game for us in 10+ years?

Cool story. I’ve been enjoying the hype around Tennessee all week. First time I’ve felt this good in 15 years about this game. I think everyone knows it could go wrong for us, we’re not playing Kentucky. It just a lot of ppl have chosen to enjoy the ride.

Tennessee will have their coming out party beating Alabama 37-35 showing the Nation they're back as a major college football program.

Yep, we’re still the underdog and will have to play a near perfect game to win. We need our guys in the trenches to play the game of their lives. We need to establish the run and be able to stop Bama’s. There’s gonna be some hitting going on down there. Let’s Go Tennessee! Fight to win each play!

Because Bryce Young is 70 %....

That means Tennursee has a 30% chance of winning 🤪


Something tells me Alabama couldn't beat LSU 40-13.

Since you brought it up. That score from LSU I classify as fools gold. How many coaches with any sense gamble on 4th down as many times and at the junctures Brian Kelly did? Very few why? Because for every Mad Hatter Leslie Miles go for it like 5 times and make it, go for it some and get stuffed and turn over and give opponent short fields. That is what Kelly did and had they punted we would have had to have 60-75 yard drives instead of 30-40. So my point is Saban will not take those same gambles unless realistically either they will get it or if they dont its not automatic points for Tennessee or if they go they are behind and its necessary juncture in the game. That LSU game we are not 27 points better. Most coaches could have taken that same roster and called the same game except punt on most of those 4th downs and the score is more like 28-17.
