I think all the pressure is on Bama in this one. Vols are playing already exceeding expectations and a great chance at a 10 win season at the least. I think that allows Tennessee to play more freely and hopefully allows Tennessee to get the win

Of course the pressure is on them. UT is still playing with house money here. A loss doesn’t stop what’s building right now but it is a huge opportunity and one we have a good chance at taking.

Big opportunity

Wanna win but we still control our own destiny if we lose

 

[tnvols72]

So true

 

[Vol464]

If Michigan beats Penn St, no Vols won’t be #1. But they prob won’t have anyone not named Bama or OSU jump UGA

I hope 2/3 of their team can’t stay on the field because they ate bad tacos and have explosive diarrhea and we beat them by fifty.

Would love to whoop Gundy after him using us for several raises.

Exactly. Exercising those coaching search demons. Revenge season in full effect

 

[csprig9]

People gotta remember
This game is huge
But no reason to fall off the bus if we lose
Win out and we would probably get another shot at them for an even bigger trophy

 

[tnvols72]

You know its coming

Bama fans: “we got 5 stars 3 deep at every position, we don’t rebuild, we just reload”

Also Bama fans: If Tennessee wins it’ll only be cause our backup qb is playing

 

[Aesius]

So true

If we had lost to Pitt, UF, and LSU, they would all be in the top 25.

 

[NoogaVol96]

Kentucky lost to South Carolina lol

Some of you wanted the butt-sniffers to win the Championship.

I agree we need to wait and see. As mentioned, there were a lot of "ifs" in my post. I've seen a lot of posts that range from assuming the drunk idiot was belligerent and deserving it, to formulating lies to tell the judge to get him off. In response to my WFT post in response, everyone falls back to the "you're making assumptions about what is actually happening".

It's weird.

I'll say it clearly again... Everyone needs to take their orange-wish magic underwear off and think with a moral compass that supersedes football.

IF...IF...IF... The statements as released are true and this drunk idiot walked into the wrong apartment, apologized, left, and our favorite football player followed him out and punched him down a flight of stairs, it's illegal and reprehensible.

Even IF...IF...IF said drunk moron got mouthy, it's STILL illegal and reprehensible to follow him out and punch him down a flight of stairs.

Tried really hard to just let this go. Yes, we need to wait before forming an opinion on this situation. And our opinion really means nothing. And didn’t want to get personal, but you keep bringing up orange glasses or underwear as if any argument that is in favor of someone who unlawfully enters a house is the victim when bad things happen to him. And, yes, I realize the law would be on his side if he did nothing threatening outside of the apartment (because he was just drunk after all). But…

Just a few months ago my son took something and got it in his head that his wife was at a neighbor’s house. He went and looked in the window to see if she was there. The woman called the police who arrested him. My opinion was the same. “You are lucky you did not get shot!” He agreed. Thank God she called, and he was arrested. Woke him up, and he went to rehab. And he was lucky some man didn’t chase him down the street and beat his teeth out. Disagree that’s reprehensible. And has absolutely nothing to do with my favorite football player. The moral compass should be to stop making the criminals the victim.

Just watched the PC and read some comments..I snorted.

 

[tnvols72]

It won't matter. The judge just has to ask one simple question and Jaylon is in trouble. Once the person left was there anything that impeded your ability to shut your door and lock it and call the police. If the answer is no, then there is no defending the agg assault charge.

You are going off the report that is out there. We have yet to hear Jaylens side. The drunk guys version is all we have and you are running with his version. There is something that is not being told. A drunk that could not remember what complex he was at but remembers everything about the assault. We do not know what actually happened inside the apartment to make the drunk guy run, if he ran. Have you ever seen a drunk guy try to run?

Dollar General sells em..In honor of a 3 sack, 1 PBU, 2 TFL and 1 FR performance.

Seent. I wouldn't mind BY having that kind of day.

 

[Glitch]

Love the ending!

 

[SpringBokVol]

This is a good matchup for us.

Good on hood and ours is better. More explosive.

Stop Gibbs. Contain BY. Get pressure.

OL gives Hooker time and he will light them up. I feel a couple of busted assignments Front the Bama DBs and Nicks head will explode.

 

[Volociraptor256]

Is there a company that sells UT cigars? Power T on the wrap or something? I feel like I’ve seen it before but can’t seem to find anything. Would love to have one sitting on my Bama fan bosses desk a week from today.

OK. Then let's stop making criminals the victim.

If things went down as stated, and the drunk kid was followed outside and assaulted, then the UT football player is a criminal and should be charged.

I'm not sure of the criminal intent of opening a door that you think is the apartment that you just left, apologizing, and leaving. (Remember, we're arguing the assumption that the statement as reported is true.)

My son and daughter-in-law moved into an apartment complex last year. Soon after they moved in, my wife and I went to visit and knocked on the wrong door. Repeatedly. Until a scared couple of older ladies cracked the door behind a chain and asked if they could help us. I apologized profusely. They laughed and said, "You want the white kids upstairs. Seem like nice kids." I said they are and asked them to keep an eye on them for us.

Similar mistake. No harm. No foul.

I'm not sure I'd equate a drunk kid going into the wrong apartment, apologizing and leaving as "making a criminal the victim".

It's a similar mistake as is made all the time in apartment complexes. It's not breaking and entering. And it's not a peeping Tom.

It's a stupid kid.

So, if he's leaving and a UT football player actually did follow him to the landing and punch him down the stairs, committing felonious bodily injury--no matter if the drunk kid inferred he was being a dick--then it's much more of a criminal behavior than being drunk and bad with directions.

Saban PC: "It's kinda a rivalry game" with a caveat that it means a lot to the people of Bammer..ie older people before his tenure. 58-37-8. Not sure anyone has historically better rivaled them. Shoot, we almost were at parity before we wandered in the desert.

I told ya. I get it..we got be better, but that disrespects the W-L record from a historical record, not just since he has been HC. He doesn't appreciate the TSIO. Time to waste em.
