please not 2:30

I'm really hoping for a 7pm game, but would take 4pm

I thought your daughter was in the Pride? Was she not at the game?

Son was in the pride he graduated. Daughter did not want to follow in his shadow any more so no pride for her.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Adios, Tootoo!!

 

[Govolsman98]

So does the time for the UK game come out today?

Hope it's a night game. Only ranked SEC matchup of the day and Florida-Georgia is already the CBS game

In 1982, one season after sharing the SEC title with Georgia, Bear Bryant and Alabama were 5-0 and ranked #2 in the country after thumping #3 Penn State in Birmingham.

They rolled into Knoxville, TN and got beat 35-28. Snapping an 11-game winning streak over the Vols.

Then the wheels came off...

After rebounding over Cincinnati and Mississippi State, they dropped three more games.
#11 LSU 20-10
Southern Miss 38-29
Auburn 23-22
All at home, and they'd had an 11-game and 7-game streak over LSU and Auburn, respectively. And a 57-game home winning streak.

They won the Liberty Bowl over Illinois, and Bear Bryant retired.

Alabama has a lot of flaws this season. They're lucky they aren't 4-3. I bet they lose again, and we start to see the end of the Saban Era in college football.

Then Bear up and died a few weeks after the season. Feels like we ushered the end for Saban, feels like Spurrier in ‘01. Ole Miss will beat them. They will get beat in Atlanta if they make it.

We're at the point where if your QB doesn't have the ability to evade the pass rush like AR/ Bryce, then you're not going to have a chance to beat us. It's that simple.

A less mobile QB with not as good of vision that Young has would’ve been sacked a lot

The fact is, every flag thrown against Bama was legitimately for a penalty. Most of them were for false starts, delay of game, whatever. Every DPI Flag was absolutely legit. The most egregious flag thrown was in their favor, the obvious OPI that was called DPI and gave them a touchdown.

Now, you might be able to make the argument that they let us get away with stuff. But I could go through the game also and point out multiple holds that we’re not called against them. We can both play that game.

You lost because you couldn’t cover Jalin Hyatt, we ran the ball down your throats, and your kicker sucks. Deal with it.

They also let a blatant spiking of the ball go for Bama. That was probably the most obvious miss of the weekend, not just of our game. If they were trying to screw Bama, they wouldn't have let something like that slide.

And here's the crazy thing..... We are getting better every week..... Even as that competition gets stiffer.


We may have not even peaked yet. This group is freaking special. Not only are they good but they believe.........

No matter what happens from here this years has been a huge success. Recruits want to come and be a part of this, because these guys are having a blast!

And if Bryce Young can't do it, your team isn't going to. That guy is the truth.

 

[NMVol]

Don’t see them losing until maybe SEC champ game. Who you got them losing to? Miss St? Seemed more plausible before they got spanked by UK. Ole Miss? Ole Miss can’t throw it well enough so will depend if they stop the run. And Ole Miss will have to stop Bryce Young.

Well they do have the flopfense.

Cubelic just put it out there. (Greg said nothing, but didn't defend)

NIL has changed how much influence Saban has. He doesn't know how to relate to paid players. Players can now go to a school like Tennessee who will provide a more player friendly coaching environment while getting paid and still to the NFL.

"You must know how to relate to this generation's athlete, he (Saban) didn't know how in the NFL and he doesn't know how to do it in the new NIL age."

LOL one last second loss to an elite Tennessee offense and all of a sudden the greatest college coach ever doesn't know how to relate to players?

I think PFF is pure trash. I still think that they are 100% accurate on this one.

I know I saw a gif of this. But can’t find it now

We're at the point where if your QB doesn't have the ability to evade the pass rush like AR/ Bryce, then you're not going to have a chance to beat us. It's that simple.

Our offense puts enormous pressure on opposing offenses and defenses. The defenses feel like they have to get at least 1-2 stops and possibly a turnover. The offenses feel like they have to score on every possession. Granted, it works both ways to a degree, but our offense is so good that we dictate the flow of the game.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I'm really hoping for a 7pm game, but would take 4pm

Im thinking it will be a 730 game on the SEC network

 

[Batman1948]

That's pretty mild. I've seen much worse in college football

 

[jordan4vols]

Dude still has us ranked below Alabama

 

[SugarCC]

Umm Saban has been dealing with paid players for a long time

Tens of thousands of dollars and Dodge Chargers isn't in the same stratosphere as MILLIONS of dollars and Lambos.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Here is the thing....we beat a Bama team at full strength on saturday....we were down 3 starters.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Heupel is all business on SEC This Morning. Already been out on the grass this AM for practice. Said really happy with focus.

I like this! Team has to stay focused. We can beat anyone when we are extremely focused, however, I think we can slip up and lose to someone we shouldn’t lose to if we aren’t focused.

 

[csprig9]

Everyone is scared of us now….
Sec has been officially put on notice
Vol Football is back and bringing 20 years of pissed off fans with them
