That dude seems like he's been around for about 90 years. Did he commit to Butch at one time.?

Yes. Gitshirted by Pruitt.

New avi. Gator slayer.

I won't recognize you for about a year and by then you will probably have changed it again. Thanks. A. Lot.

Ole Miss needs to put Kentucky in it's place .
Auburn needs to rough up LSU.
A hole open up in the earth and swallow Bama .
Georgia , Mizzou same.

In Pigeon Forge for the Wife’s Bday, so likely won’t watch any games until this evening.

Maybe I’ll catch most of NC State vs Clemson.

As a company, this is what "sh****** the bed" looks like...

This either makes a bunch of people immediately drop Dish for DirecTV or puts major pressure on Disney/ESPN to make a deal. No in between. Heck of a gamble.

Juniors won with Memphis. Freshmen had Nashville and it was pretty good but not gonna post unless requested.

Let’s see em.

Let’s discuss this scenario:

Vols beat Bama
Vols beat UGA
Cocks beat Vols for only loss

Vols win SEC East and go to Atlanta.

Banished to the FF. @Freak do your worst.

What’s bad is they dropped it intentionally on a Friday night before Saturday. People won’t be able to watch games. They can’t immediately switch this morning to another carrier and get a technician with directv or Comcast. They’ll have to subscribe to YouTube TV.

Doesn’t count…there are no hipsters, pedal taverns, party buses or Woo Girls.

That's a dumb gamble to make. Nowadays there are plenty of options for cable TV. The only people really put in a bind are those that live so far out in the sticks that they can't get decent internet.

As a veteran I’m showing restraint because you seem like a good dude. I’d like to know her reasoning behind her decision.

My first inclination is that, without being too non PC, her flag has many more colors (bright) than red, white, and blue...
Secondly, she may indeed have to had permission from state athletic commission for us to wear them?! While working with her directly for boosters, she is insanely inept at her job, and drops the ball on many things. If she did need permission for athletic commission, she did not do so. Many other schools across the state has worn the jerseys in support! Was a very bad look for our program!
We ended up losing 28-20 against a single wing team. 3 yards and a cloud of dust all night long. TOP was around their 40 minutes, to our 8. Got flat out punched in the mouth and could do nothing about it.

Which is most of the state of Kentucky and Mississippi that will be watching a game at 11 AM today.

Somebody make a gif of that TD run by the UCLA QB. He side steps, and two Washington players hit each other. Lol

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I wish I had known Dish dropping ESPN was a possibility and I would’ve switched to DirecTV. Unscrupulous all around to do it on a weekend like that.

I think it just dawned on me that we should beat LSU.

I just wanted to beat Pitt and, especially, UF. I was so excited with the team achieving those goals and getting to 4-0 that I forgot about what's next. I never really thought to set my expectations, as a fan, to 5-0. Maybe I figured LSU would just have one of those incredible years, like most of our alternating west opponents have. . . or maybe we'd run out of luck by the LSU game, or we'd have too many injuries.

Luck hasn't been much of a factor in getting to 4-0. In fact, we've fought against bad luck/performances and still won. We beat a solid Pitt team and a Florida team that tried everything they could to stay in the game, but couldn't.

Now we're heading to LSU and a win there isn't just possible, it's probable. We'll be favored as the visiting team. We've got a great start time, mostly no serious injuries, a defense that's proven it can do what it takes to win, and an offense that is hitting smooth on all cylinders.

I can't believe we're just 17 games removed from from the Pruitt era disaster. We're in the top10, staring down the barrel at 5-0 and the potential for an undefeated matchup against Bama.

It's strange, because it feels real. I mean, even though we had a couple decent years with Butch, it never felt "real" or sustainable. I literally can't remember the feeling from the last time we were legitimately good. We may lose a few games down the stretch, but the future for the Vols looks extremely bright.

Do you guys think we're a legitimate top10 team or are we being propped up by winning the first few games? I mean, do you see us as a top10 team at the end of the season?

Anyway. . .
Vols 45
LSU 37

(Edit: sheesh, that was longer than I thought it was. . . @Glitch )

Yes we’re legitimate.

Make it easier on yourself. Come join me.

15-0

UCLA’s backup RB is from Cleveland, TN. Couldn’t find a thread on him

 

[Orange Studs]

Seniors: Chattanooga.

Also, sophomores totally botched it with "Feels like '88". Amateur hour and someone should be fired on the tarmac.

Edit: Dickson won a state title in 1988 - that's why they did that.

This is the best part of streaming. I literally canceled one and picked up another without any issues.

I'd pin that loss on the AD

I think FSU is about to go on a 3 game losing streak.
Wake Forest today
At NC state
Clemson

ESPN added Smokey getting passed in the student section on top of a blow up Gator in the video montages for GameDay. Guess they realize the largest audience they had all year might should be in their intro. F EM!
