We truly did land in that magical alternate universe we were waiting on all along.

Finebaum, after trashing Venables,

"Josh Heupel has emerged as one of the best coaches in America"

It feels like one of those dreams we had 10 years ago, only to wake up to Dooley still being HC.

2 questions:

Do we get Superhero HH (I still think he went to another level vs FL) or regular still really good HH vs Bama?

And

Do we need Superhero HH to win this game?

Heisman performance by Hooker.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It's very hard for me to understand how they accomplished this, given the roster/transfers, etc.

It doesn't make any sense...it is truly amazing.

 

[Orangeburst]

We will find out if that theory is true Saturday.

We used to get the calls as well when we were rolling

 

[SugarCC]

Tennessee is 100% missing the playoff in that scenario.

 

[Weezer]

Here's the real. Losing this game wouldn't mean squat. We're supposed to lose this game. It doesn't "cool us off" if we lose. We're still way ahead of where we were predicted to be in year 2 of the Josh Heupel dynasty. But winning this game, winning this game would be astronomical. It would crush the Bammer's spirit. I'm not saying they're suddenly going to suck and their program will go downhill, but it'll hurt them bigly. And I'm here for it. I think we can absolutely win this game. BY or no BY.

I don’t disagree but not a believer in the AP voters. They had A&M 6th, Utah 7th, OU 9th, Baylor 10th, Mich St 15th, Miami 16th etc etc in the preseason poll. They don’t know anything and frankly their poll no longer matters with the addition of the playoff and their own separate rankings.

This is what I'm saying. I give them a pass the first few weeks for things to sort out. But after 5 weeks we have the #1 offense in the country and have beat three asked teams. Ohio state has the 2nd best offense in the country and has beat 1 ranked team. I have even less to say about Clemson and Michigan haha.

 

[drvenner]

I'm literally crying. So much better than the LSU corndog story. This needs to be bumped often.

I have read it five or six times and it kills me every time.

 

[ACvol3]

Hope everyone wears orange this Saturday. Such a simple thing, yet people wear gray for CheckerNeyland. Why?

The tricky thing about orange is getting people to wear the right shade

 

[jave36]

I didn’t state it because it has any bearing. I stated it because society loves to jump to conclusions. If you truly don’t care about a “clear and reasonable understanding,” then have at it. I will sit on the sidelines if people don’t want it all clarified.

I just think you vastly misunderstand your audience. "Cautioning" a message board not to jump to conclusions sounded ironic at best.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I read an article about a drunk that was killed because someone punched him outside a bar. When the drunk was punched, he fell and hit his head on concrete steps. I'm sure the guy wasn't trying to kill him but he did. Drunks say stupid sh*t and sober people get offended

Belligerent drunks accost people minding their own business and rightly get their ass handed to them.

[Orangeburst]

I expect to win..sorry.
Doc gave me his anti BVS pills.

 

[LA Vol]

I’m honestly not 100% sure, but LA mentioned the student code of conduct having to be involved in the case which threw a wrench in things but if it’s off campus and not a UT student, that could possibly take any school code of conduct disciplinary actions out of it which just leaves Heupel to make a decision. I could be off but that’s what I thought at least.

UT admin and legal are involved. It's more than a violation of team rules. It would be CJH's decision to suspend or dismiss after UT investigates and if they greenlight his return, but CJH won't want to kick him. If the facts support dismissal, others will be pivotal to the decision and the outcome. But that's not the path anyone wants.

I believe it happened in Fort Sanders and the other party is not currently a UT student.

 

[clt_tiger]

I hope for another early pounding like last week where we simply say at halftime…

Edit: @Glitch

 

[Orange_Crush]

I apologize for being so hateful, but the difference is I am not just taking the drunk dudes word. That story sounds like to me, and it SOUNDS like you just buy what he said, and are all in on defending the guy.

I am not a JM the player fan, I am a fan if how he has comported himself as a Vol and I don't want to see his life ruined over a fight he wasn't looking for.

As I've stated multiple times, there was a statement. Some folks took THAT STATEMENT and started posting ways for him to get out of the charges (as though those statements were true, and the important thing was him getting out of the charges). My response was IF THAT STATEMENT IS TRUE, you guys should take the orange glasses off and get a grip.

In my first post on the subject, I even posted "I'm not even saying that's what happened."

I wasn't defending the drunk guy. I said that there doesn't have to be an either/or. One person doesn't have to be right for felony assault to be wrong IF there was indeed felony assault. But at the same time, IF THE REPORT WAS TRUE, and he accidentally entered the wrong apartment, apologized, and left... Then his actions didn't deserve felony assault, a trip down the stares, and lost teeth.

I posted a quote of Proverbs, stating that one side sounds right until the other side is heard and the truth comes out.

But you know... Virtue signaling. Toro caca smileys. Yar yar yar.. Footbaw!

You had your say.

Now... It sounds like there may be more to be reported. Personally, I hope there is more to the story and it went down in such a way that no one's life is severely, detrimentally altered.

 

[Weezer]

I don't just want us to beat Bama. I want us to humiliate them. I want to beat them so badly that at the end of the game Nick Saban goes to the 50-yard line of Neyland Stadium and commits hari-kari.

We are playing with house money.

Win and we have to win in Athens to go to Atlanta.
Lose and we have to win in Athens to go to Atlanta.

Nothing to lose, let's go have fun.

I hope we beat them so bad the fans know we're storming the field and we carry Saban out on our shoulders and throw him into the TN River

Lol that isn't BVS, that's just common sense.

They aren't keeping keeping out two of Ohio State, USC, and Clemson to put 3 SEC teams in. That will never happen in the 4 team format. And Tennessee has the worst resume of the three in that scenario.

Hold up. Are you saying McGill is a bammer???

You have lost your dang mind...lol.

Dude, what do you have against Jaylen McCullough???

 

[letsgoUT29]

Wow! Butch is aging like a President.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Still can't believe how far Heupel and this staff have brought this program in less than two full years. A lot of games still to play, but we've put up these stats against some good teams.

I simply can’t believe this.
