Keep hearing that after each win, then nothing happens.

Plenty is happening. Moreso for the '24 class, but we will get a few more elite players. Probably a few from the portal as well.

26th in scoring defense yall

 

[volinokc]

and yards

We could have easily doubled the yards and points last night. We just went with the flow of the game. Our defense was so good last night we were able to play the Tennessee style of conservative.

Embrace the Doc McGill embrace the Doc! It will set you free! lol

Not literally @Ulysees E. McGill …

Actually, if we ever meet. Expect a huge hug. We all have endured so much wandering through the desert of the kdbp despair. Thankfully, CJH is
Leading us to the promised land!

And remember…

15-0

 

[OrangeBlitz]

I spotted them 24pts..lol.

Me too. We scored 1 less than I predicted (stupid extra point), but they scored 18 less.

 

[Jackcrevol]

@utvols88 waiting with 'baited' breath. Should be monster news.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

HAHA ! Your cruel! I was trying to be nice to the guy being that he is older than Invol.

Nope, he just looks older.
Gypsies usually do. It’s a hard life. Plus he has to rule a veritable mob of gypsy children thieves and ne’r do wells…

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Who's staff would you rather have?

Quit crying.

 

[Playdo]

My call for the week: I don’t think Kentucky scores as many points as UTM.

I can’t take the win here, I honestly thought they’d at least get to double digits.

 

[Adam Sandler]

So did y'all see where Michigan State players beat down a Michigan player after their game?

Wow, I don’t even know what to say about that, I’m appalled. Michigan state program should be ashamed and appalled. If I were that player, I’d be looking at the players in this video and pressing charges. Thugs.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

What's sad is people will continue to hype him as a first-round draft pick. I honestly think he'll be a bust.

He’s not good on the field

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

It really is only a matter of time before an asteroid or a comet or some interstellar object crashes into the Earth ending life as we know it.

That’s the spirit!
Your optimism finds a way to bring joy to all of us!

Props to the university admin and people in the athletic department, media department, stadium staff, etc for the incredible experience over there. The uniforms were incredible. The run through the T was electric. Flyover was just unreal, I need a video of that. POTS was firing on all cylinders at halftime per usual. Just an A+ experience last night from start to finish.

The team is playing championship level football and the support folks are providing a championship environment to do it in. Feels so damn good to be a Vol.

Interesting stat for the Georgia game:

As of October 28th, Georgia was tied for 123rd in the NCAA for team sacks with only 7. They got 3 sacks yesterday, so that number obviously will not change a lot.

They are fantastic in most of the other defensive categories, but if we can run the ball then their lack of pass rush will become a huge issue for them.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

As a kid a black racer ‘raced’ adjacent to me .. it didn’t bite me, but it sure as heck felt like it was chasing me .. I think they are supposed to be ‘good snakes’ but I did not care for it

Because you lost the race to a legless opponent?

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Remember when Kentucky fans thought they had a better defense than Bama?

technically, they did. Only put up 44 vs 52. UK wins the tallest midget trophy for D.

 

[barrylee]

Remember when one of our Florida posters said don't take this Ky team lightly this is not the Kentucky team of old??

Speaking of the Florida posters, where have they been? They somehow don't show up when we don't suck!!

 

[Glitch]

Lag tonight is irritating as hell. Thanks, Glitch!

I'm going to bed.

It's been a great night.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

26th in scoring defense yall

And after georgia we're playing our weakest sec competition. I expect the defensive stats to be vastly improved by season end.

 

[tn88volfan]

“tHe NuMbEr 1 qB iN tHe dRaFt” couldn’t even get 100 yards passing against us

 

[Christian Lowe]

For those who were at the game, was the flyover of F-35’s the new F-35C chrome variant or just the standard F-35A, B or C?

 

[MadWorld]

Bennett has been pretty mobile and seems to be better getting yards on the ground compared to Young...however, he's not as elusive. Sack opportunities will be there. He's still a capable passer with two outstanding TEs that are hard to cover. I like the same strategy the defense used against Kentucky...go all out to stop the run, blitz the QB, play up in man and force the QB to beat you over the top. Levis couldn't complete passes under pressure (except to the defense) and Bennett has had some picks and made some bad throws under pressure.

Good points, but I didn't see many blitzes yesterday which surprised me. I may need to go back and look, but our D-Line simply out played them.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Cottonmouths have the visual acuity of about 12". They don't know what boats are, have terrible vision, and have no ears to hear talking (or screaming). They recognize an object floating in the water, and they like to bask on floating objects. They also associate those things as places fish and frogs like to hang out around. They have very strong senses of smell and could possibly investigate smells of bait or fish you've caught.

They're also inquisitive, so they'll investigate objects they don't recognize. I've stood on a bank and watched one swim directly towards me. Most would conclude that snake was "after" them. When it got close enough to make out what I was it bolted away and hid under a matte of grass.

It's all about perception and having a better understanding of these very misunderstood animals. They're never after you. But instinctual fear and lack of knowledge drives perception.

This is just silly talk.

So we should all go out and hug a snake today?

Snakes don’t bother me anymore than spiders. I don’t have any animal phobias, but I do understand them.

My wife is allergic to wasp stings, so if she’s around, it’s kill on sight. She isn’t scared of them, but the threat of the allergic response has her moving. Unfortunately, my daughter now has a phobia of any flying insect as a learned behavior…
I just shoo away anything that isn’t a wasp. Freaks my family and friends out when I grab the wasps and crush them with my hands. Same with small nests. Worst thing for me is a little sting. For my wife, it’s a week of misery. Easy call.

Thankfully, she isn’t allergic to Grizzly Bears!

Looked like Nolan Smith their best Edge, got hurt yesterday against gatas. Apparently a shoulder injury.

That, and it scared the bejeezus out of me
