Some LB's job is going to be falling over every play that gains more than 5 yards. They'll have another LB playing spy on their own DT to make sure that he's hobbling along ok. If he's behind the line at all the LB will just fall over.

Yeah, my dad never wants to go. He’s in his curmudgeonly “I can watch the game for free from home more comfortably” phase, so getting this text shocked me.0F443EBB-66F5-4407-8383-8C902663EC13.jpeg

Not with Title IX
Do not mess with the woke crowd

Not sure what clauses in his contract may have been violated by what he did. And I really dislike the douche. But he had no idea what they were even doing out there. Come back to reality.

Bad look without context - yes.

Fireable offense - lol.

Also not sure what female athletes on the field has to do with being "woke" aka black citizenry issues. Also figured Title 9 and female athletes were now, out of nowhere, suddenly being championed by the regressives, since they can now be used for the newest fight against everything LGBTQ etc. Not that they really care, but ykwis.

This is more about universities, a few in particular, trying to fill every void moment by presenting or celebrating someone and doing it poorly with no planning. It seems there was no communication between those women and the timeframe, nor the coaching staff. What a clusterf*** the cock commandeers are 🤣

thats exactly it. But also if they play really slow on offense and don’t actually convert third downs or put up points they will eventually get buried no matter how many cramps or fake injuries there are. They’re in a situation here lol

Thought the same.

Unless Newt means the bookies are making a play. They do (rarely) do so by allowing their books to become uneven because they feel the public is out of line and are happy to take their money. But, again, really rare. And yeah...the money is clearly coming in on UT.

The ESPN FPI now has it a 15 point game.

I just don't think 11 points is that crazy. Though my heart still says this is a Pitt/7-point type of game. UF will muck it up, have their moments where they frustrate the hell out of us, make a few big plays, etc. We've also been pretty sloppy so far and the run game is questionable. Jmo...unless UF decides to completely implode 3.5 games into the season, which they should've done last year...😏

Since he’s took over the starting job…He's accounted for 42 TDs, completed 68% of his passes and thrown just 2 picks. Find something else to complain about IMO.

Not complaining just stating an observation that everyone sees. He’s been high all year and it cost us our best WR

Speaking of Neyland Stadium, Volunteer fans can get pretty loud as well. Just ask the Florida Gators.
Earlier this season, Florida’s starting quarterback Luke Del Rio suffered an injury a week before they headed up to Knoxville. The Gators decided tp start graduate transfer Austin Appleby from Purdue. He wasn’t afraid of the hostile crowd in Tennessee.
“I’ve been to Nebraska. I’ve been to Ohio State. I’ve been to Michigan State,” Appleby said. “All the stadiums are the same.”
Let’s take a step back in time for a minute. When Oklahoma came to Tennessee in 2015, the crowd broke the noise record at Neyland Stadium, registering a deafening 114 decibels at one point. To put that into perspective, planes on an airport runway register at around 120 decibels.
Despite that fans can almost cause physical pain (roughly 125 decibels), some players still do not believe in the home field advantage. Take former Oklahoma center Ty Darlington, for example. In his blog Front and Center, he told how one night in Tennessee changed his entire perspective on crowd noise.
“The noise was a constant, oppressive force. I could literally feel it on my skin. But these fans weren’t just loud on the first drive. Or just on 3rd down. Or just in the fourth quarter. It was every. single. play. On the offensive line, we couldn’t hear [quarterback] Baker [Mayfield]’s play calls, we couldn’t make our own combo calls, and we couldn’t communicate checks and alerts verbally. We resorted to a makeshift hand signaling system that was at times more confusing than informative. At times, we were much more worried about simply KNOWING the play than we were about actually EXECUTING it. That night in Neyland Stadium, playing football seemed all but impossible, and that can be attributed as much to the men and women in the stands as to the uniformed men on the field itself. That night, as I boarded the flight back to Norman with Rocky Top ringing in my ears, I realized that I had been converted. From a man skeptical of fan impact, to a man in awe of it,” Darlington wrote.
Fast forward back to present day and Austin Appleby. To give him credit, he did a lot to quiet the “Rocky Top Rowdies” in the first half, going into the locker room with a 21-3 lead. However, when he and the rest of the Gators came back out for the third quarter, it was a completely different story. All it took was a couple early three-and-outs for the Tennessee defense and a Jalen Hurd touchdown to completely change the course of the game.
Florida gained only eight yards of offense in the entire third quarter. Tennessee’s offense was clicking, and the fans were creating a wall of sound. Tennessee outgained Florida 314 yards to negative nine at one point in the second half. Tennessee went on to win 38-28.
Todd Kelly Jr., a junior safety for Tennessee, said after the game “it felt like we were taking their souls, really.”
Like Darlington, Appleby had a change of heart towards the impact of the crowd after all was said and done.
“Their crowd got right back into it when their offense got it going. I think their defense and pass rush, especially, started feeding off of that,” Appleby said.
“I think it had a lot to do with their crowd.”


Seems like Appleby had the same thoughts as Sun Belt Bill.🫣

Spread points are really valuable. They may feel like they lost a lot by accepting -6 bets. I wouldn't put it past a book to inflate the spread more than it should to make up the difference.

Unreal. Vegas must know something because that screams big money on Florida.

I am confused. That is the opposite of what that means. The line has gone up since it opened. That is oddsmakers trying to influence more bettors to take UF by giving them more points. Plus, line shifts from the big money sharks do not come in until much closer to Saturday.
