So VOLS are number 13. They are giving GA strength of schedule if we can beat Mizzou. My conspiracy theory self thinks we get favorable refs.

Nope, its what theyre doing. We should be favored this week.

 

[mrMet]

I do OK. My best was the first round of the tourney 2 years ago. Hit 30/31 . . .

Saw someone hit a 12 leg parlay for 222k last night. Ridiculous and maybe fake

Sources: U-M says Big Ten teams shared its signs

Michigan has documents it believes show Rutgers, Ohio State and Purdue engaged in communication about the Wolverines' signals in 2022 and has forwarded the documents to the Big Ten, sources told ESPN.

Is this supposed to be collaboration in an attempt to counter Michigan sign stealing or just a general attempt to by Michigan to show that everyone in the Big 10 is a cheater so it’s no big deal?

Cleats in the ground is back...

Oh no he didn’t!

Vols by 30!

 

[Devo182]

If you'd told me going into Week 10 that we'd be #13 and 7-2 I'd have taken it. As upset as I am about the Florida loss and blowing the Bama game, things are still so much better than they were in the real dark days.

For sure.

And it still will be 100% even if we finish 8-4.

Surprisingly strong season so far. #1 rushing attack and this defense (with Hadden especially) are huuuge.

I wish it was one of us. . . particularly. . . me.

Except she ain't wrong. Below is her public trendline, the highlighted spot is when Baylor won it all with Griner. Her first title...nothing.

Griner was like Shaq entering college. All eyes on her and Kimmy definitely gained her attention (rightfully deserved to some degree)

She's a punk is the point. Dear god I can't accept we have Mulkey fans here.

No one said a single word about being a fan of Mulkey, no one...I think we're just big fans of reality.

Dear God, indeed.

I think its part B. Problem is nobody is mad because Michigan stole signs, its how they stole signs is the problem.

Exactly what I’ve been saying, If (most likely) the SEC is trying to conspire the guarantee of at least 1 team into the playoffs, it makes no sense for Tennessee going into the Georgia game with 3 loses. Coincidence or not, I’d bet Tennessee gets a VERY favorable whistle Saturday. IMO Tennessee will have to get thoroughly out played and coached to lose Saturday and I don’t see that happening.

After this entire year, I will have to see it to believe it that we get a very favorable whistle.

I believe that elephant needs addiction counseling.

I’ve seen this first hand in Thailand before. Those elephants are extremely intelligent.

 

[Jameis Jones]

That was not a horse collar tackle by most people's defintion, at least not as I understood it.

You have to have a hold of the collar (or the top of the jersey) maintain a grip on the collar all the way through the tackle, and the runner has to land on their back or side. In this one, he grabbed him and threw him down by the collar, he didn't hold on to the collar through the entire tackle.

NFL is different, even grabbing it is a foul. I believe college has those 3 components needed for a foul.

LSU did not get a favorable whistle, but it was nowhere near the level of one sided that we suffered through at Bama. I'd even argue it was a typical home whistle that most home teams enjoy and nothing worse.

Other than that no call on targeting. That was nuts.

That isn’t the rule anymore. If you grab the collar, nameplate area, or side of the shoulderpads and pull the player down, you have committed an illegal horse collar tackle.

That was definitely a horse collar tackle by the NCAA rules.

I mean, they are one of the most intelligent land mammals.

I picked 9-3 before the season but felt 8-4 was still keeping pace. Fingers crossed we get to 9-3 though. Or, heck, why not 10-2??

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I mean, they are one of the most intelligent land mammals.

Correct
It is really cool to experience though. I’ve lived in Thailand before and fed the elephants sugar cane with my daughter when she was little. One of the earliest memories she recalls from her childhood.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

At 5:26 of the video he covers Horse Collar tackles. It seems like an abrupt pull down to me. The SEC may disagree.

He slung him forward. They will never call it when the ball carrier goes forward.

That’s what I’m wondering..looks like an attempt by Michigan to muddy the water some..

Well Georgia already beat Missouri if Missouri beats us just makes the same difference.

Lady Vols begin play tonight on SEC+ at 6:30...vs Florida A&M Rattlers..if anyone is interested in checking out the team....

All spreads..I was impressed

I've seen several of the on air officials say otherwise.

And really, in the clip above, he didn't pull him straight down, he outright threw him like a projectile as much laterally as straight down.

I wouldn't argue a call either way on that one.

Is that Dalton Knecht?

I think your right.

Wrong. He didn’t pull him down he slung him forward and if you want to get technical the other defender makes contact during the tackle which also negates the horse collar.

I don’t know how someone can keep doing something over and over and over and over again, yet still be absolutely terrible at it…. But Andy is doing just that.

I thought he was touched by the Angels which just makes more sense.
