Meh. They're supposed to be the Tennessee Titans. I've tried to Luke the Titans but they continually give me reasons to not like them.

Most teams honor the history of their franchise/organization/etc. The Vols did just the year with the Holloway throwbacks. No issue with it whatsoever, plus they look awesome imo.

Can’t wait until we beat mizzou
Possibly be fringe top 10 going against UGA

 

[Rishvol]

Shouldn't Alabama be ahead of Texas?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Working Bama back up there. Skanks right now....

 

[VolGee4]

What in the world? Oregon State lost to their second unranked team last night. I’m now convinced that no one pays attention anymore.

Edit: Ok, maybe WSU was ranked at the time but they are terrible.

 

[BigSteve09]

So what ...in our case you have to be stupid or blind not to acknowledge it.

Do you know how many times our SEC opponents were flagged for defensive holding or DPI last year? 18.

This year? 2.

Disliking them because they want to honor their history seems like someone just looking for reasons to not like them.

That is rampant right now.

I just proved my point. If there are players out there that are potential starters or perceived upgrades on the Oline, you take them. Some might be further down a depth chart in a top end school and some maybe proven at a smaller school. The point is, if there isn’t any perceived development of a player, as a coach, you are obligated to upgrade. The portal allows some potential experienced upgrades and especially on the lines.

You proved your own point to an eager audience of yourself. Arguing in a vacuum. "Perceived" by WHOM? "Potential" according to WHOM? If your answer isn't the COACHES, then it's all moot. Have maintained my OPINION that VQ floating that 4-5 OL portal addition prediction isn't based on any back and forth with anyone making decisions...more monkey butt fetching to see if they can splat on subscriber walls. Once again...imo. We don't KNOW what individual progress has or hasn't happened on individual basis. Also have to consider who is or isn't leaving on the current roster. It's fun to get new and shiny things, but you don't dump everything you have because different is automatically better. I predict 3 at the max if Cooper leaves, with an experienced center being a target and as always OT's. And we won't take a player simply because he started at Ferris State.

Meh, I don't really care one way or another. I've tried to like the Titans but have little to no interest in them. If some of you Titans fans like them, then good for you.

Fair enough.

Lol those were busted freaking plays dude. All of them. And most were out of the stack formations after we saw how they were playing us. Your football acumen is piss poor

lol you were wrong about the Jauan vs tabor play and now you’re making stuff up about those plays. Go back and watch the pitt td for Bru. He was one on one on the outside split wide by himself. And against Florida he got a couple of steps in front of the db and was not in a stack formation. He was out wide and squirrel was in the slot. Neither were busted coverages. YoUr FoOTbaLl aCUmen is PiSs PoOr. Go back and watch

That's not the only reason, but adds to it. Like is said they're not the oilers, they're the Titans. I don't care either way because I don't really care about them. Yall can have it.

No. Texas beat them

It seems you care enough to complain about it.

Before you go back and watch want to put a stack on it that they were neither busted coverages or stack formations?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

No. Texas beat them

It's a joke because Bama finished ahead of us last year.

 

[Jimmy Football]

It’s CFP ranking time. Other polls will be pointless very soon.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Not complaining just pointing out why I think many don't really embrace the Titans.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Ok I did the research

There have been a total of two holding calls on our opponents

One at the end of the game against A&M

One at the beginning of the game against Florida

99.999% of every snap against our d-line has involved flawless blocking folks.

 

[triadvolfan]

Joe getting out of the pocket and throwing on the run accurately was a big help.

The passing game was great last night. 10+ yards per attempt and only 3 incompletions, 2 of which I thought were PI. Hard to beat that.

If Milton keeps playing like that Heupel will open things up more for him.

Dude EVERY franchise does some sort of throwback uniform in every sport even if they move.

Ive seen throw back jerseys but I've never seen a team go back to their former team. Like I said y'all can have it. I've tried to like the Titans and I can't make myself like them.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Hilarious that Utah stays in front of us and only dropped 5 spots after getting blitzed by Oregon. If we had lost to a top 10 team in that fashion at home, we would have fallen straight out of the top 25.
