This seems unbelievable

Wait until the coin toss and then do a live bet that the loser of the coin toss will win.

The record is broken. . .but. . . KC had already been on that list. . .

New streak addendum: the streak is alive, unless the team has already lost under those conditions.

A foul is a foul regardless of time though. Can't say it's a foul in minute 1 and not in minute 59. Js

Likewise, you shouldn't say it is not a foul for minutes 1-58, then call it a foul at minute 59 to determine the game. Players adjust to how the game is called.

I wanna throw out a few random predictions:
HoopVols: elite 8
Diamond Vols: CWS Champs.
Football: 9 wins, loss to Bama, win over GA

HoopVols: elite 8. . . *good enough
Diamond Vols: CWS Champs. . . *exceptional
Football: 9 wins, loss to Bama, win over GA. . . *still ahead of schedule.

I'll be honest, the fact Hurts was a gump made me love him absolutely throwing a duck at the end so much more.

#10 in the new AP poll.

I’m honestly surprised under the circumstances..Usually the voters jump at any opportunity to drop us as far as possible.

 

[mrorange211]

We beat Bama and KY this week and all is forgotten. I think we do.

I think this is the only commercial that made me even slightly chuckle...because of Adam Driver's delivery.

Did you all see any half decent commercials?

I liked the Busch commercial with Sarah McLachlan in the shelter, with a wolf.

I told my friends at the watch party I was at about that streak and two of my friends threw down a bet on it, nothing big, but still.. they weren’t happy with me afterwards lol

Bama fans hated Hurts and talked sh-t about him when he was Tua's backup. He almost lost the big game for them until he was pulled because Saban knew Hurts couldn't cut it, they gloated. And now they want to claim him. Well, two can play that game.

I credit all of his successful plays to him leaving Bama, and his ducks and faux pas to the lingering Bama stench.

That duck was solid Bammer.

That's the spirit. Lettuce!

This Josh Mancuso video prior to the Super Bowl was amazingly predictive:

BTW, Wednesday is only the third matchup of top 10 teams in history at TBA -- all off them under Barnes. We're 2-0.

 

[InVOLuntary]

RIP Guss Manning. Another legend moves on.

I did the math, Tennessee is 387

If we continue our 9+ win seasons with Heupel for 1 or 2 more years, we'll be back on these kinds of lists.

We had long two long stretches of very mediocre records -- 1975-1982 (48-42-2) and 2008-2021 (85-88). Hell, it's amazing we're even close to the programs on that list.

 

[hotcypress]

I'll temper the following statement with the caveat that having both JJJ and Phillips out on Wednesday (availability not yet announced) will make a negative impact on our ceiling:

This Tennessee hoops squad seems to play to the level of its opponents more often than not. We show up when the good teams come to play. I expect the Alabama game to be a hard fought effort by the boys in orange. Alabama has the resume to be the number one team in the country, but they can be inconsistent (see Oklahoma). If Tennessee can score like it did in the Missouri game, we'll be in that ball game.

About to be 3-0

To expand on this, if we averaged 8.5 wins per season in the two long stretches of mediocrity -- not an unreasonable expectation in my book -- our win total would be 55 wins higher which put us at 442 -- in the Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, and Georgia group, where we should be.

14 years of averaging a losing record is just ridiculous and embarrassing for a program of this magnitude. Managerial ineptitude by UT's senior leadership.

 

[LoudOrange]

RIP Guss Manning. Another legend moves on.

The last link at Tennessee to The General.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Unfortunately for us it being a home game in TBA and us still being the #10 team in the country means it likely won't be a game they overlook. But if JJJ/Phillips don't play could mean Bama isn't quite as focused.

 

[Wokepack]

Now Bama will have to work after being handed that #1 ranking. Glad we got knocked down. We'll either get back up or continue to get trampled on at this point.

Gumps have never heard of him...today.

 

[TheRain]

It's like that.

 

[Chuckie]

It's like that.

...and like this and like that, and uh.

But seriously...HFS!!!

 

[B EaZy40]

It's like that.
