LOL.....turkey show up in the yard right after Thanksgiving

 

[COOKEVOL]

Didn’t even know people still got offended by that term

Maybe he identifies as a Mary?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

It's not going to happen, but I'm all for Dan Mullen being an offensive analyst on staff.

I wouldn't want that weirdo anywhere in East TN.

Haha, quarantine is over.

We destroyed them despite being a little off, which is what good teams do. How do you expect to hit on all cylinders every game with this roster?

Well first of all, you don't have to e hitting on all cylinders when playing Vandy and second of all, that's why I said your going to have games like this.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Its easier to win in the SEC at LSU vs. Oklahoma.

Add Riley to the list. VN gotta step it up or LSU boards are going to take our crown.

LSU had such a lead on this search, maybe they have been wooing him for two months now. Call me crazy, if Riley does go, I see Oklahoma pushing for Mullen. Also always thought Napier would prefer LSU over Florida. But perhaps LSU spent so much time wooing Riley the lost out on a chance to lock up Napier.

More like a family reunion. Other than 1 "friend family", we're probably all distant cousins etc., but too distant to count. For most.
Which is fine, just not every freaking holiday, that's why people have actual family reunions! Except in Alabama, where they double for speed dating.

Yes, different than Weezers, just extenuating circumstances for each. Which is probably the case for most.

Gave you a like for the speed dating comment.

Personally, I really want Stoops to go to LSU. Kentucky's class would crater and based on how the coaching search market has been lately, they wouldn't be able to hire anyone nearly as good.

 

[VolGee4]

VA Tech would be smart to grab Mullen

You have to recruit there. They won’t hire a coach like Fuente (not personality but just a developer).

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Please let Stoops go to LSU. Kentucky would go back to the cellar and their class would crumble. And then Napier is hired at UF. It should be eye opening that LSU isn’t going after Napier. They know he is average and why I want him at UF.

It was one of those weird days across all games. I just chalk it up to something in the air. Glad our guys pulled it off when upsets were cooking all across the nation.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah.. but she’s not Pat (Blue Font).

I have no idea what that means.

Pat was special to all of us, we will never have another. Kellie was a good hire.

LSU administration got caught up in the big-name hire hype only to realize most big time coaches are well compensated and prefer staying put. Sound familiar?

My prediction: Florida: Billy Napier, LSU: Mark Stoops.

 

[Orange Studs]

I’ll be honest, felt like a game that we were fine coasting through. This team really was beat up and we faded with our lack of depth.

I don’t care who we get in the bowl, but if it’s a game we play after Christmas we’ll be the healthiest we’ve been since September. And we’re going to embarrass someone.

I don't disagree with you at all but if got to when we made observations about Hooker being off or like our D who gave up 21 points, people make commits that we are bashing the team. We have been giving our opinions on games for years but doesn't mean I'm bashing I'm just making an observation. Take number 4 for example. LOL Now I draw the line when people come in trashing our coaches. I also try to balance out my commits with praise when they do do something right. I starting to feel like us coming in here and talking about the game either good or bad is slowly coming to an end.

 

[Volnatic]

It was one of those weird days across all games. I just chalk it up to something in the air. Glad our guys pulled it off when upsets were cooking all across the nation.

And we didn’t just pull it off either. We played our C+ game and still never felt like it was ever in doubt….that’s refreshing

 

[lilesrt]

I have no idea what that means.

Pat was special to all of us, we will never have another. Kellie was a good hire.

Blue font on this board means sarcasm. I was referring to the fans who incessantly wish to compare her to Pat Summitt.

 

[engineerVOL]

You ever seen the movie, "uncle peckerhead"? It's an absolute must watch, 2 's.

 

[voltn21]

Feels good to not be mad about our teams trajectory.

Florida: New coach
LSU: New coach. Looks like they lost out on Riley
USCjr: Mad being shutout by Clemson again. Want to fire OC. Not all in on Beamer.
Texas A&M: Pissed at losing to LSU. Some think Jimbo is a fraud cashing big checks.
Auburn: Pissed that they lost to Alabama when they could have won.
Alabama: Pissed that they almost lost to Auburn. When they lose to UGA and miss the CFP they will want to fire Saban.
MSU: Pissed that they lost to Kiffin and Ole Miss.
Ole Miss: Concerned about possibly losing Kiffin.
UK: Concerned about losing Stoops.
Vandy: Well Vandy.
Mizzou: Worried they won’t get a bowl because SEC only allotted 12 teams and 13 eligible and they travel worse than any team in the league.

Mizzou fans are pissed as well.

 

[Orange Studs]

I think he is a long timer.

I just don't think he is that type of guy. He knew this was a huge opportunity and challenge and I think he loves it here and would crush the culture that he worked so hard to build.

no idea what you mean.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Todays game was frustrating. We didn’t play clean football. Didn’t execute well.

Didn’t have the best play call or schemes in the right moment.

The 18 play 10 minute drive sucked the life out of me.

And we still won by more than 20. It’s unreal.

It felt like a let down and it was a big win.

Times they are a changing.

Yeah it was a frustrating game mostly because our defense and long games. But I’ll take a win. I’ll definitely take a 20 point win.

Gotta shore up the D though

It’s not my absolute favorite thing about Heupel, but the fact that he leaves no doubt against lesser competition is definitely up the list:

Against G5 opponents:

• 38-6
• 60-14

Against FCS opponents:

• 56-0
• 45-21

Even among SEC-lite opponents, the kitty cats were the only ones who would keep it within 3 TDs.

I appreciate that you included Vandy as an FCS opponent. Subtle diss that made me chuckle

 

[VolOld]

I just watched the seniors talk about their experiences at UT on The
Josh Heupel Show. They were all very well spoken, I will miss them.

Here is that Mike Farrell preseason prediction I was trying to find a couple weeks ago.
