Think the RB's being healthy is bigger than Tillman being available.

 

[Aesius]

Interesting that AP said Small and Sampson were 75% to play yesterday and now Mack is saying they're good to go. He said Tillman is 25% FWIW

They only alts I've really liked are the black and orange for Halloween. Players and fans fed off that. But for an on-brand look in a rivalry game on national TV, nothing beats a surge of orange and white following Smokey through the T into a stadium checkered with orange and white while the POTS plays and 100K roar at peak decibels.

It's the most iconic brand image in college sports-- tradition and history with modern touches. Nothing like it.

Agree. Nothing against the Smokey's... But gimmie orange and white on the big game.

The alts for USCe last year... Perfect.

But the traditional big game... Be Tennessee.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just because. I really want to see this.

He's lined up back there and taken a snap @ QB last year.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Definitely some intentional subterfuge there, but I'm man enough to admit it...I like that song (and several others from that album).

Don't let them get to you Chuckie. Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate baby, you just gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off.

Wait, if all our RB's are good to go, then why are we doing this?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Which ones are wrong?

 

[Orange.]

That’s a Taylor Swift song with a Bon Iver feature. Don’t be trying to mislead the public. Lol

It's a stolen and very tired line: read the book, heard this story, seen this movie, etc., all of which became cliché generations ago. Demonstrates OP's lack of judgement and taste, which is further confirmed in the dumb, age-old clichéd Florida "take." But the take is too boring to discuss.

Well.... Mack didn't say that. He said they're available for practice.

 

[volinbama256]

Tight ends are going to eat Saturday. Two freshmen linebackers… RPO all day long. When they bite, hit the tight end right down the middle.

I hope so--- haven't seen them be a factor yet this year or really last year...

AP doesn’t really know. Heupel doesn’t share that information

 

[Aesius]

Well.... Mack didn't say that. He said they're available for practice.

He said they're available AND ready to practice. At least that's how Ben McKee worded it. To me that suggests they're cleared to practice and play, not just cleared to practice.

 

[Southern_Accent]

A Florida beat writer just told Basilio that their star linebacker Miller will not play in our game and will miss the next game also. He said that's a massive loss as he was the heart of the defense.

 

[engineerVOL]

lmao @ "who wears orange socks"

I wore orange socks yesterday.

 

[Dudley Smith]

No, this is NOT a must-win game.

I can't believe we are already laying the foundation to justify criticizing coach for losing this game.

Never mind our history in this game, never mind what he has already accomplished, never mind that we may have an injury problem, never mind that they are a good team whether some want to believe it or not.

Because some have allowed themselves to chaulk this up as a sure win, a blowout even, and want to beat them so badly, if we lose, they're ready to blast away. All because the team doesn't meet their expectation of what should happen.

On the other hand, I'm not surprised at all. Some look for reasons to blast and eagerly wait for the chance to do so. I was hoping it would be different this time.

You shouldn’t be surprised given our history. I won’t be blasting at all, but I will have my doubts creeping in about whether Heupel is “The One” to take us back to prominence if we lose this game. Others calling in to post-game shows will be be less sanguine about it.

After all we’ve been through with Florida over three decades, the guy who beats them is going to seem to this fan base like King Arthur pulling Excalibur from the stone. If we lay an egg on Saturday as countless other Tennessee teams have done, there won’t be hot seat talk, no one will send a moving truck to his house, but I think a lot of the fan base is going to think “nice guy, but we’re still waiting for the true King of England to arrive as the prophets foretold.” He can still overcome it, but it is a huge early opportunity to cement his place in this town.

Gut says Arkansas and vandy.

There's a part of me that says Charlotte too. But they're pretty bad.

Clemson at wake... If that was 10+, is be inclined to take wake.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Well if you tweak your ankle on the last day of practice then you wouldn't be good to play. Until the gameday injury report is released I'd be cautious of anything said right now by AP or Mack.

I do like Fant working at RB. ESPECIALLY if he is willing and capable of picking up blitzes in the backfield. Wright made a good block on a LB blitz against Akron, but if Fant had made that same block he would have sent that LB into the shadow realm.

 

[jakez4ut]

He said they're available AND ready to practice. At least that's how Ben McKee worded it. To me that suggests they're cleared to practice and play, not just cleared to practice.

Ok. That it suggested.... Doesn't mean that's what he said

You are still free make up whatever you like.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’d love to see Princeton’s big ass carrying the ball

Fumble risk. Hands work best, AC. Smh.

 

[jave36]

I HATE Jimmy Hyams and his BS reporting.

There is a replay, the Akron guy not only grabbed Calloway's facemask but also swung first. No "apparently" to it, you can watch it in HD.

What do you think the definition of "apparently" is? It means, it's obvious it's apparent.

Charlotte and aTm are tough ones. I wouldn't touch that aTm Arky game, both teams have been really good and really bad at times.

 

[BigSteve09]

Well.... Mack didn't say that. He said they're available for practice.

I get what you're saying, there's also this

 

[TitanicVolz]

I’m not a Titans fan, but Tannehill has made an AFC Championship game. So……no.

Tannehill is so underappreciated the ones bitching now just enjoy bitching cause dudes dome all he can.Does he crap the bed come playoffs so far its not been good.We had the #1 or #3 offense in 2020 qnd last year set a record for number of injured players.We had 93 ppl hurt last year ungodly.We managed the #1 seed and went 6-1 against playoff teams.Thatd without the great AJ Brown.He was good I bought the jersey but hurt half the season so blaming him is stupid.

Regular season has never been the issue.Last nite RT was laser accurate when giving time.Oline is everything if they don't do their jobs we can't pass or run or crap.RT takes alot of undeserved flack.I promise once he's gone unless we get a Shroud or Young etc Titans fans are really gonna hate life.

Example we run 1st down 83% of the time so basically defenses know 1st down we running,fans have botched for 2 years over that.So last nite 1st down we fake hand off RT doesn't even have time to set befor hes getting destroyed in the A gap by a rusher.Point is fans have a tendency to over react without seeing the whole picture.

 

[jakez4ut]

That's fine. Just when we discuss who said what, that we at least get that right. Lol.

It's not like I'm against them all being healthy... Lol.
