Kentucky could legit loses 3 of their last 4 games.

@ Mizzou
Vandy (the likely win)
Georgia
Louisville

Mizzou has 4 loses. Blown out early at Kansas by 28, by 3 at Auburn, by 4 vs Georgia, by 7 at Florida. They have a top 35 scoring defense, and the only team to score 28 or more was Kansas State. If they manage to show any sort of offense they could beat the Kitty Cats.
Georgia no need to explain
Louisville has only lost 3 and has a top 25 defense, lost @ Syracuse to open the season by 24, dropped a game to FSU by 4, and then lost on the road to Boston College by just 1. They actually have an offense too, scoring 20 or more in 7 of their 8 games.

That Boston College loss is a head scratcher.

Especially fat jokes.

Well I’m fat and that’s the truth but it’s my own fault.But I’m sure some people will get offended but not me.

My boy told me this morning that in his circle of friends and relatives, none of them really want to have to play us, but that they are glad it is at Sanford and they believe that will give them the edge. He said nobody wants any part of playing us in Knoxville or even on a neutral field...lol.

Smart boy!

Florida game felt good, LSU game was great, Alabama game was AMAZING, but so far the Kentucky game has been the most satisfying. Maybe because of how great the defense played or maybe because of how delusional Kentucky fans and media were about it being a trap game or upset alert.

Levis was 59.3% 98 yards 0 TDs 3 INTs and we sacked him 4 times a QBR of 16.4. The worst performance of his career

Just imagine if we played real football!

It definitely was the defense playing lights out which was fun to see.

 

[Glitch]

Just the way I like!!

We live in the south. The food is good here and we live happy

 

[Enki_Amenra]

That is still very good for us, considering the extra plays most teams run against us.

The conversation on here this morning was people talking about their favorite TN teams. To me, this is my favorite team of all time. It is even better than the National Championship team. Let me tell you why.

My daughter has never understood my passion for the VOLS. She never even liked college football. She used to laugh that I would get so upset about, in her words, "just a silly game". Sadly, she had never watched a game with me. This year she finished grad school and started a great job. Since she was finally working and making her own money, she told me she would get me anything I wanted for my birthday within reason. I immediately thought of VOL tickets.

Since we live in Louisiana, I wasn't going to let her spend what it would cost for us to go to a game in Neyland. That was just too much money for her since she had only started her job a month before this. I have only been to Neyland once. Unfortunately, I had a heart attack at the start of the game and spent the entire game in a medical room. Didn't get to see even 1 play. Sorry, I digress. I knew we played at LSU this year, so that was the perfect game. My best friend's 60th birthday was also that weekend. She told me to invite him, so I did. I was like a little kid at Christmas time when she told me the tickets showed up on her phone. The game was all I could talk about for nearly 2 months.

The Friday before the Florida game, she invited me over to her house to watch the game. I was stunned and so excited. We watched the VOLS play together for the first time ever. She laughed at me when I warned that even up 17 the game wasn't over. She did not know the last 20 years of VOL football like I did. She was so excited when we won. Now she was talking about the upcoming LSU game as much as I was.

The day finally arrived. We headed to Baton Rouge. It was myself, my best friend, my daughter, and her fiancée. Love everything about that boy except for the LSU shirt he wore that day. It was a climb to the nose-bleed section, but we had a blast. It was fantastic day.

During the Alabama game she kept calling me for updates while she drove home. When she made it home, we spent the last 30 minutes on speakerphone yelling and cheering for now OUR VOLS. She was out eating with friends during the Kentucky game but she still texted " what a way to start" and "Go VOLS" when we went up 30-6. This morning I woke up to a text inviting me over to her house to watch the Georgia game.

I obviously want us to win next week, but in my mind we have already won. No amount of W's in the win column will ever match the joy of seeing my daughter become a VOL fan. Hopefully I live to enjoy many games and maybe even national championships with her. I will never forget the coaches and the players on this team. I wish I could personally tell them all just how much a "silly game" can mean in life.

GO VOLS

What's everyone's guess for the time of the Missouri game? I know it will be announced tomorrow. But looking at the schedule that week I can't get a good feel whether it will be a noon game or a night game. It's senior day so I'm hoping for a night game. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts. Go Vols.

 

[Skizer41]

I couldn’t help thinking last night about those players that picked KY over us because they thought KY was going to be superior.

Same. Beckwith too. Had it and decided to give it up.

 

[Orange Studs]

Let's make fun of ugly people and then see who gets offended.

Want be me cause I so handsome.

 

[MarcoVol]

Same. Beckwith too. Had it and decided to give it up.

Beckwith thought he could get PT there I’m sure. None here for him to have.

Probably noon on one of the ESPN family of networks

 

[itsme]

strong Jake Locker vibes from Levis.

Big, athletic, good arm, very physically strong. All the traits but that dude is a turnover waiting to happen and can’t process fast enough at all. Gonna get drafted too high and inevitably get a front office fired lol

That’s the best comp I’ve seen for him.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I’ve never cared when someone made fun of me. Just laugh and go on. But have always taken up for someone else when the mean person that sucks jumped on them. Blacked a boy’s eye in 2nd grade. Got voted “most likely to become a boxer” in 7th grade. Then had to deal with those who wanted to put others down to make themselves feel superior when teaching. Obviously I still can’t help myself.

I love you to death and you are a really sweet person...but that nonsense earlier about the kid really got on my nerves (not you, the one that started it with their overdone whining) and I am so sick of that garbage.

People joke all the time with stuff like "that fool was spazzing out like he was having a seizure" and I laugh because it is freaking funny, heck I have said stuff like that myself.

Now...I don't think I have ever spoken about it on here, but my wife and my middle daughter have to take medication to control seizures (not epilepsy, but that is irrelevant) and I don't pitch a "I want attention and everybody to feel sorry for my troubles" fit about it when people are just joking around.

I am 100% positive that literally every single person on VN has some kind of issue where they could pitch a fit about people joking around in some way. ..but we don't.

Oregon: 42.4 (5th) 28.4 (81st)
South Carolina: 30.2 (62nd) 24.6 (59th)
Kent State: 28.4 (70th) 32.1 (114th)
Missouri: 23.9 (98th) 21.5 (32nd)
Auburn: 22.9 (103rd) 29.9 (94th)
Vandy: 26.6 (85th) 36.6 (124th)
Florida: 30.0 (64th) 29.9 (96th)

Tennessee: 49.4 (1st) 21.0 (26th)

We're going to be the best offense they face all season and the best scoring defense they have faced so far as well.

They've not been tested anywhere near the level our boys are playing at.

Oregon? I don't think so. 1st game under a 1st year coach, right? You know they weren't hitting on all cylinders by any means.

After Oregon, who? Mizzou is probably the next best team they've faced and we saw how that went. Heck, Kent St gave them more than they wanted.

If they have trouble scoring like they did against Mizzou, we're literally gonna win by fiddy.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Oh no doubt. Pope has been awesome. I am mainly talking about the work ethic that Hyatt has done.

Yeah! I just meant he would be telling them about Pope. Hopefully that would make them willing to work and be coached.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Here’s one of my babies.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Hate that too just not as much as I hate someone acting like a big bad 7th grader that’s going to jump on the 6th grader to prove he’s the man.

I don't like that either..but this wasn't like that at all. This was a over-sensitive whiner performing this pathetic eras song and dance "you offended pitiful little me" routine.

 

[SweetasSoda]

My boy told me this morning that in his circle of friends and relatives, none of them really want to have to play us, but that they are glad it is at Sanford and they believe that will give them the edge. He said nobody wants any part of playing us in Knoxville or even on a neutral field...lol.

Back to the way it’s supposed to be!

It’s crazy they’ve only had 1 away game this far in the season. We will be on our 3rd.

 

[Smokey123]

If UGA plays 7 in the box for stopping the run we throw. The whole point of this offense.

I think that’s why he said without involving their DB’s

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It is crazy how long they can hold their breath. I loved watching them when we went to California last year.
