Was that pic of the gators locker room that was posted for real? That looked like a community college locker room.

Didn’t see it but their facilities are trash. Their new indoor complex is a gassed up carport

Must be the reason for all the defections.

 

[millst987]

Yet they find a way to stay relevant every damn year

 

[Jackcrevol]

@HankHill here you go. lol.

THAT is an award winning facility....

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

[SpringBokVol]

I’m ok with it being out there. Just like when @SpringBokVol said he expected Grant to slump this last season.

Happy to see he’s doing well. Still waiting on Kenneth George and JJ Peterson to prove me wrong too

I was a bit off on that one. And glad to be.

 

[HankHill]

It’s Florida. If they aren’t relevant they have a god awful coach.

Can't even afford baseboards?

just wish they'd of done it more than they did lol.

 

[Kingston Vol]

He was the only guy last year who looked like he belonged on the field vs. Georgia.

He needs to be our workhorse.

 

[Vfl2407]

I’ve questioned why I stay involved financially. Tax advantage gone and yet I gave even more. I called about getting another parking pass and I think they genuinely got excited. The program is not getting butts in the seats.

I know why you do it.
Same as most of us here.
UT football is an addiction.
At least, for me it is.
Why can’t I quit you, Vols? Why oh why ?

Sounds about right. I thought Calloway might be on the bill.

Is that the trophy that they decided on to go the winner (or loser) of the UT/Vandy game?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Sounds about right. I thought Calloway might be on the bill.

Didn't he go last year? Might be why he's not going this year.

One of the main reasons I think our defense will be significantly improved this year is I think we’ll make fewer mistakes. Shown in the table below are defensive rankings in the conference last year against only conference competition. Every other conference team statistically had a scoring defense rank at or better than the lowest ranking phase of their defense whether it be their run defense, pass defense, or total defense. With us our scoring defense was lower than all of the other three measurements and I think that could suggest that while we made a lot of plays on defense last year we also made more mistakes than anyone else.

They say switching from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4 scheme is rough in the first year because of the learning curve and the likelihood that the appropriate personnel needed for the new scheme are not on the roster. This being our second year in this scheme it’s generally expected that there would be significant improvement, if for no other reason than we’re likely to see fewer mistakes, less guys winging it and doing their own thing on that side of the ball. jmo.

Alabama played 15 games last year. We had the 8th best run defense they faced, Tua had his 5th lowest passer rating against us, we held them to their 6th fewest yards per play on the year, and yet we ranked 13th on their schedule for keeping them off of the scoreboard. Of course Pruitt was unable to contain his frustration on that night.

Georgia played 14 games last year. We had the 6th best run defense they faced. Jake had his 4th lowest passer rating, and we held them to the 4th fewest yards per play out of those 14 games, and yet we ranked 7th on their schedule for our ability to keep them off of the scoreboard.

It’s just a theory but I think we could surprise some people if we can realize our potential for dramatic improvement on defense, and in particular, scoring defense, and I think we probably can do that by cutting down on the mistakes. #PlayTheRightWay. jmo.

I also feel the defense will be better. Better defense more chances for the offense. Offense needs to do their part and sustain drives .

 

[bignewt]

Didn't he go last year? Might be why he's not going this year.

Could be, I've erased last year from the memory banks.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Could be misleading seeing as how the entire defense other than the safety was usually dogpiled on JG at the point of release.

Get the latest Roku. Or a smart TV and you can download the YouTube tv app straight to the tv. Comes with all the ESPN coverage you need to watch UT games. I’ve never missed one.

I'm probably a little bit late, but I would suggest going with the Roku even if your TV has the YTTV app. We switched from DirecTV to YTTV back in December, and initially used the built-in app on three of our TVs, and a Roku for our kids TVs which couldn't get the app. We found that there were significant buggy issues with the built-in app on both Samsung and LG tvs. So, I went and got Rokus to use for the TVs that have the built-in app and haven't had any trouble since.

 

[UTProf]

I didn't realize he led the pack but I'm not entirely surprised either. We should've thrown a lot more last season, imo. We couldn't run block to save our lives but we could pass pro enough for short passes and occasionally longer throws. More dump offs to Ty and company could've mitigated our lack of run game.

 

[Chuckie]

I'd settle for most any TN game from the 90s.
