Vols 35 Tigers 0 after first quarter

I would love to see it!

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

The way I'm looking at this game is...

Vols have not played a complete game yet. Vs Pitt and Florida, we've shot ourselves in the foot and still won. Look at the turnovers in those games. The pressure is on lsu to get at least 2 turnovers... we are due for a clean game. So far the only defense to stop the vols , is the vols themselves .. vols by fiddy

 

[My VOLS are huge]

Bama…

Not for a 3:30 game, it might not be sunny and hot on the 3rd Saturday of October, but then again it might be. You
dont want the team cooking on the sidelines in all black unis.

Auburn did look much better with that new QB they played. Ashford?

But that game with LSU was clearly a battle of two very average teams...I'm really struggling to see how we lose this weekend. We need a Pitt like wreckless performance.

I agree...we need no wrecks in this game.

Somebody needs to do a clip of when he was asked about incest in AL and Najee said something like, well, yeah, but maybe they don't know they are related. Same interview. @BigSteve09 posted it yesterday.

You serious? The traditionalists may walk out of the stadium if we wear black against Bama.

Not serious. But anything to give them more juice is fine by me.

We will get everyone’s best game as long as we are ranked. Everyone wants to ruin Tennessee. Just the way it is. Need to take care of business, limit mistakes.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

That was a great full interview. Najee’s timing was good too.

I really wish we'd ditch the greys now that we finally have a proper black uni again. The grays were basically something every team was given a few years ago by adidas and nike. Regardless of the myth we built around them to justify it our other color from ancient football days was never gray but black.

Screw it the Smokey Grays are the most beautiful uniforms ever seen on this planet.

Throw in the mountains on the helmet just for good measure.

Yay and nay.

Either we have played ugly and can clean it up. Or we are just a semi-sloppy team.

We need to go prove it. The players need to prove it to themselves. Take pride in protecting the rock and the rest will take care of itself. They have to realize how GREAT they can be if they just hold onto the ball and avoid silly off-ball penalties.

This offense is so close to being next level and they should be burned up inside by only scoring 27 and 38 in the 2 P5 regulations. They know they can blow that out of the water.

Smoke jerseys feel like a Hyatt 2 TD, defense forcing at least 3 turnovers type of game

 

[Devo182]

The last coach at Tennesese to beat three ranked opponents on the road in their first 18 games was Phillip Fulmer from 1992 to 1994.

Fulmer, who took over a better situation than Heupel, beat No. 14 Georgia in Athens in 1992. After taking over for Johnny Majors full-time in 1993, Fulmer led the Vols to a road win against No. 2 Alabama.

In week two of the 1994 season, Fulmer and Tennessee beat No. 23 Georgia on the road.

Heupel led Tennessee to a win against No. 18 Kentucky in Lexington last season. Earlier this season, the Vols beat No. 17 Pittsburgh on the road.

I believe he could apply for a medical redshirt.

And he has the covid year so he could have two more years if he wanted them

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Serious question:
Do the coaches decide if the media can come to these press conferences or not? I mean there’s no way I’d sit there and be quite if he went off on me. Are they quite because they’re scared or are they quite because they want to be able to keep coming to the press conferences?

I'm quiet sure it's both of those reasons...

With a win Saturday, CJH would become 4-4 in ranked games, including 3 in a row. That's more ranked wins in a 4 week span than 2 of our previous coaches racked up in SIX YEARS.



Previous coaches:

2-11 pruitt (3 years)

0-15 dooley (3 years)

6-19 cbj (5 years) - Took till year Y4 Game 4 to reach the 4th win

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He looks angry even in those Aflac commercials. Like he's barely suppressing his rage or something

I think that is the key to his success...he is never happy or satisfied, which causes him to remain driven despite insane, unheard of levels of success.

If he is the goat of anything, it is that.

 

[Orange.]

The Smokey Mountains are the number one dream vacay in Louisiana (seriously). They will experience a massive conflict.

 

[TheRain]

That smart money is betting on LSU makes me nervous. They must think their defense can slow us way down like Pitt did, and that our defense is....well...our defense...

Yeah, I think the smart money favors the match ups for LSU.

Dooley 0-15 is incredible. I remember how huge that 2013 win vs USC was. We hadn’t beaten a ranked team since 2009.

I think there’s no question that Dooley was our worst coach. And the record vs ranked opponents is a big reason why.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Ughh..

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

No offense taken. I thought it was dumb at first, too. I did it to get out of school and travel to contests. Then I figured, "Well if I'm gonna do this then I'm gonna be better than everyone else at it." Then I found it to be pretty fun.

Soil forms "horizons" or horizontal layers over time. They can be different colors, have different make ups of sand/silt/clay, they have have different structures etc. Part of the judging is to identify where the horizons are, how many there are, and what the percentage makeup of sand silt and clay are. All with your hands, down to at least 1.5-2.5 meters. Sometimes 3 meters (7-9 feet down).

Then every soil type has it's own name based on the history of how it formed and its age. You have to determine that. You have to determine the origin of the soil. Was it deposited by water, erosion/gravity, did it form in place, did wind blow it there, did it used to be the bottom of the ocean, etc. Based on knowledge of the area and what clues you find.

Then there's other stuff- landscape position, slope %, site position (upland, stream terrace, etc).

So in a contest you've got 3 of these pits dug across an area and you rotate around them. You get an allotted time for you and 20-30 competitors to get into the pit and you fill out a contest card based on what you believe everything is. The whole contest will have 100+ contestants over 20 ish schools for the region, then the same for nationals if your team qualifies.

So that's that. Highest overall score wins. That year we beat VT twice. Once in regions and I finished Top 10 in the Southeast. Then the two schools went 1 and 2 at nationals as well, I finished Top 15. Pretty sure VT has won 4 straight regions and nationals since 2018, and won at least 2 straight before 2018. We basically LSU'ed them that year, and won by huge margins and have been only decent since we all graduated.

Go Big Orange!
dominate the soil!

Fulmer tied Alabama in 93, he didn’t win. And that game felt like a loss.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

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.

There’s absolutely no scenario where Tennessee beats florida, uga, and bama and falls to usc or vandy…

Let’s just agree upon 15-0 and be done with it.
