the difference is they beat more solid teams then we did at the end of the season. They beat LSU ole miss and did it convincingly but I still KNOW we beat them this yr and prove your point that we should be ranked just as high as they are GO VOLS

Speaking of the BIG 6. I hate when people think that UT should be kicked out of the BIG 6. Just because we have sucked the past 7 years doesn't mean UT should be kicked out. The first one I would kick out would be UGA. They haven't won **** since the 80s.

They probably did but that same team beat us 34-10 so just calm down a lilttle. Can't really speak about a team that beat us. And I stated in the post SOLID teams never once said great. Let's as fans ease off the hype meter a little.

Yep. They shut out some great teams

Arkansas shutting out LSU and Ole Miss was the single most unexpected phenomenon from last year. I didn't watch the games. Was it just straightforward poundings or were there a lot of turnovers?

And out the door went most of their defense.

Yep not sure why people think that good last year means good this year or the year after etc.

Comparing them to Bama is a bit much at this point until they prove they can reload every year. They don't recruit at Bama level.

They don't recruit at our level now that Butch is in charge.

Arky will be a load to handle on offense but can their defense keep it close enough to where that pounding effect starts to come into play in late 3rd to 4th quarter. Last years defense was huge for them and did this. However they lost almost all of their playmakers on defense. That's not easy to replace.

I can see why there is excitement about Arky but looking deeper there are big questions defensively. There is a reason people are starting to hype TN more. We have big time potential on both sides of the ball and we are consistently recruiting upgrades for our roster.

Arkansas is a game where Butch needs to take some risks.

IMO, they're perfect for at least one onside kick and one fake FG. If you fail, they get a short field and possibly 7 points, but we get the ball back sooner. We will score with them no matter what early on, but we can't let them control the TOP and grind out a 4th quarter win.

Steal a couple possessions and stall a few of their drives and I really like our chances.

a) pre-Dobbs

b) pre-ole miss meltdown, which is when Arkansas caught them

c) it was actually 34-3. Haha. Though it really shoulda been 27-3 because of that ridiculous last min run up the score TD

Just rewatched the O&W game. Here's the list of the fastest guys on the team in the Tennespeed drill (I don't know the order that Butch read it off):

* Foreman
* Dobbs
* Howard
* Kamara
* Sutton
* Smith
* Reeves-Maybin ("I don't know why Reeves-Maybin is in there" lol)
* Malone
* Randolph

Foreman was the winner.

Ole miss was in somewhat of a spiral down already. And in the arky game, they had six turnovers.
