Flex game which means afternoon or night.

Only noon games left are UTEP and Vandy.

hmmm...tough to say. the line up on Oct 5 lacks a little bit, as the two biggest games are Ole Miss @ USCe and TN @ Ark. Georgia/auburn is that day too...Bama/Vandy...A&m/Mizzou.....and that's really it. several teams off that weekend..TX, OU, LSU, MSU, UK...

if i had to guess....UGA/Auburn is the nooner, we're the 3:30 and Ole miss/USCe is the 7:45. but it looks like, assuming aTm can stay ranked until then, the only ranked match up as of today is aTm and Mizzou...so who knows.

I’ll take a 3:30 over a night game at Arkansas. Ending these games near midnight every week is a bit much.

Night games are for Bama and Florida in Neyland.

League wide. I'm a diehard Cowboys fan but yesterday I viewed some borderline outrageous call against Ravens. It's not just the Chiefs games, this disease going around has spread to the NFL now.🤦

There’s bad calls in every game for sure. Chiefs just get benefit of the doubt on most calls when game is on the line. Been happening for years

2022 we finished 10-2 with a real late stinker loss and finished #6.

#6 would have us playing the 11th ranked team at Neyland. I would rather get a first round bye and more time to get healthy but man what an epic game that would be to go to.

The upgrade in speed at linebacker and defensive backs is insane. Pili, Carter, and Thomas are flying to the ball, and Gibson and McCoy have quickly turned into lockdown corners.

This is the fastest defense we’ve had since the late 90s or early 2000s.

when Jakobe laid that due out on the side lines....i had flashbacks.....hadn't seen that kind of physicality from a DB in a while. Jason Allen, Eric Berry type play.

and when James Pearce over ran the QB and the announcer called it out.....i immediately went back to Leonard Little....PIli and carter at LB....Mayo/Simon?

so yeah, i agree. fast, physical, and they arrive at the ball carrier in a bad mood.

i'm very excited about the defense. and i'll say this, even in our hey day, i'm not sure we were this deep on the DL where everyone you put in is capable of not only holding their own, but can make impact plays.

Oh I understand the issue completely but sitting around and pissing and moaning about it isn't going to solve the issue.

So what you say we do, march down to Birmingham league office as a group and burn our boxers and say we're not going to take it anymore?

Maybe just Boycott watching the games, which we know isn't going to happen.

In life individuals should pick and choose the battles that are winnable and sorry to say this battle has been fought for many years and the fans haven't won yet.

But if you can come up with a plan that may work, then I'm in.

Everybody...everywhere..make it THE topic in sports, be LOUD and do not stop.

I've never seen a fanbase totally kill a done-deal coaching hire...until WE did it...all of us.

I will never shut up about it...because THAT is exactly what they want you to do.

There is power in numbers.

I can’t believe anyone goes to concerts… prices are insane… most people watch it on a tv screen….

eh...FOMO for the younger crowds. my niece goes to UT and she did not go on Friday night and she told my daughter, during the concert, campus was like a ghost twon and her dorm was virtually empty. so from a social standpoint, it was a lot like going to a game.

in that light, i get it.

but yeah, i wouldn't spend the money.....but i'm old, and don't have a lot of FOMO these days.

agreed. i'm truly surprised Wallen sells out.

Swift tix prices are insane

You have obviously entered the middle aged man grump stage. 😂

Morgan and fans over Swifties every day of the week for this old man. I want a musician to play to my audience - in this case Neyland Stadium and the Tennessee Vols. That is orange blooded Morgan Wallen, not Taylor Swift. Swifties can do their thing another time.

But I am kind of simple. If I don't like a song or singer, I don't listen. I am more a fan of the song and the performance of it than a fan of the musician. I go with this...

The Ravens-Cowboys game was officiated totally differently in each half. That’s the problem- there is no consistency. The Ravens secondary did whatever they wanted in the first half, and then flags started flying everywhere in the second. My theory is that it was a blowout, and they needed to make calls. Parsons still can’t get a holding call even when his jersey was being pulled from 2 feet away. The spots and lack of consistency are ridiculous.

This stupid 💩 is all over the place today and it is really pissing me off...you would think we lost or barely won out there the way these idiots are all talking.

We need to unload a B-52 load of offensive whupass on some fools pronto.

I said this would happen. Vols whoop Oklahoma and whoop em good but it would be nothing but excuse after excuse and the Vols would still have to beat X to prove they were any good to most people. If we had put up our usual 40+ points, then maybe. Heup dialing back the offense to not get folks hurt on that crap field and to not risk any more costly TO's with 2 backup OT's in the game makes people think UT isn't legit.

Just keep winning.

Is the video as good at the surrender cobra lede photo?

@85SugarVol did you ever find the Okie podcast punk you were looking for?
Click to expand...
No. But I didn’t look for him.

It was the guy that said he’d do an entire show taking Tennessee fan’s calls if OU lost.

I’m really not trying to do any work around here…
