I mean I’m only speaking the truth….

Milton is only averaging 7 yds per throw because he isn’t really throwing it deep. He has only thrown 9 touchdown passes.

Ramel has basically been a non-factor at receiver. Squirrel has only caught a handful of deep passes. Bru before his injury was barely targeted. Thornton missed like 2 passes he should have caught but otherwise has been a non-factor….. so how have I lost my mind?

I’m not hating on Milton just stating our receivers aren’t all that as of right now. Very few big explosive plays.
Milton has thrown it downfield 20 times this year in 5 games

Targets:
Keyton 2/8
White 2/5
Thornton 1/3
McCoy 1/2
Nimrod 0/1
Webb 0/1

Totals:
7 over/underthrew
6 connected (2 TDs)
4 broken up or OB
2 drops
1 INT

Targeted Yards:
Keyton 88 of 318
White 77 of 193
Thornton 34 of 124
McCoy 50 of 82
Nimrod 0 of 50
Webb 0 of 44

Yards 249 of 811 possible

So this third quarter song thing is kind of a big deal with the fanbase huh?
I don’t care if they do or if they don’t but friends in low places really doesn’t make sense and it has run its course. There’s nothing “Tennessee” about it. In fact it would seem we were singing about drinking away our sorrows cause our team sucks rather than let’s get fired up for the 4th quarter. Plenty other songs to pick from if you want some sing a long
 
On ABC it will be 7:30..always is... different subject who you got tonight Nebraska v Illinois???
3:30 is the prime time SEC game each week. 7:30 seems like it should be the most coveted time slot though.

Both teams are desperate for a win, like UF was vs us. Illinois is not good. . . but neither is Nebraska. . .

I personally wouldn't take the ML for either team, but if I had to, I'd take Nebraska, I think they're more desperate after Michigan embarrassed them last game.

If I were going to bet on this game, I'd probably take the over up to 45.5.

Seems like a 27-20 type of game.

Kind of makes my point that our receivers shouldn’t be on any top lists per the poster I was replying to, and if you were helping me make my point thank you

The offense is working. It doesn't matter how long the completions are as long as the chains are moving and the score is climbing.
I don’t disagree. But that wasn’t the point of my post. The post I replied to was that our receivers shouldn’t be recognized as top receivers
 
pretty good deal…. we traded him for the 1st pick of the 2nd round….. Bears had him for three games and traded him for a swap of 6th/7th round picks.
I have no idea what to expect from him with my dolphins. On one hand, he had a good first two years and we got him for peanuts, but on the other hand Chicago was willing to let him go for peanuts for a reason. Pretty minimal risk though so whatever.

You need to just start challenging people to meet you at your local Waffle House. Settle this like true Vol Nationers.
I just don’t get why it’s hard for people to realize that as of right now, our receivers shouldn’t be recognized as top receivers lol.

We have good receivers but they need to prove themselves and so far they haven’t.

Grateful for those peanuts! Felt for sure we were just going to release him. When your GM and HC don't even want him in the facility, you're desperate for an exit.
 
Just make sure your A&M brethren wear white. No maroooon allowed!
It’s okay if they show their support to their team.

I want them to experience the Neyland loud and rocking experience! And go home impressed and more importantly disappointed in their team losing to our Vols!

14-1 🤠

They prolly won't be impressed with our traditional chants...since there's less than 100 of them. 😴
 
Mebbe replace the Herschel Walker Trade as the biggest heist in history? Or am I listening too much to Steeler revisionist history? 😏
Let’s not go to extremes…. no one claimed it was the greatest trade ever…. just that the Bears got bent over a barrel…. They traded what amounted to a first round pick for a bad player that is bad in the locker room…It appears that i was correct about the trade.
