I suggest we all start taking Dramamine early tomorrow to combat the nausea produced by Gary’s love affair with the Crimson and the “adversity this Bama team has faced with the QB carousel following losing an NFL QB” BS he has in the chamber.

Everyone was callng for Martinez’s head when the secondary wasn’t performing well, same with Banks, but the offensive position coaches are off limits to judgement and criticism?

It is until they start using the TE and RB in the pass game more frequently. Those two positions are the check downs into the open zones. Those plays have to be called by Heup/Joey since Joe is incapable of doing it himself.

Fact. Doesn't matter if you agree or not.

It's not a fact...it's supposition on your part.

What's a damn fact is that Josh Heupel is one of the best offensive minds in football and you are not. He is infinitely smarter than you or me either one when it comes to offense.

I trust his opinion on this more than yours....that is a fact whether you agree or not.

Not meaning to be hateful...but Heupel has earned trust.

So he was a genius last year...and forgot how to coach this year?...makes sense🥴

For the record....I have not been on the WM or TB bashing trains very often...but that's neither here nor there.

If our WR coach sucks...then he sucked last year too.

All im saying is, the wr group as a whole is struggling, yes? Does that not fall on coaching?

I have absolutely had it with this ******* phone. When I finally get a half day off Sunday (actually I take Saturdays off in the fall for, well we all know why). I’m going to plant myself at the nearest A&TT store and convince a millennial to help or I smash it into bits in the parking lot. And kiss my ass, you pretends to be dead when someone walks up to you vermin.

Okay, you got me.

That avg is a little skewed. I should have clarified that we don't score even 30 against good defenses.

Well...only 11 teams in the country (out of 128 teams) do...

Not exactly the norm. "Good defenses" don't allow many points...

Playing on the road scares me more than the actual Bama team. Hopefully we can minimize the pre-snap penalties and not let the environment swallow us.

Certainly haven’t played well at all recently on the road (Vandy doesn’t count).

Playing against Nick Saban's select B'ham officiating crew scares me the most. Any attempt to throw downfield will be met with our WR's left arm getting pulled down and no call from the refs. They don't call it in Knoxville, so they sas won't call it in Tuscaloosa.

This week, the Vols hit the road and travel to a land filled with darkness, chaos and despair. Trolls nab napping babies from their cribs and turds leap from the earth and kamikaze the faces of unsuspecting passerby's. Yes... we're going to Alabama. Slowly but surely, Bama is no longer the Bama of old, and Tennessee is not the Tennessee of the last 15 years. The field may not be level, but the peaks and valleys are not as high and on any given Saturday, they can appear dang near even.

Keys to Victory:


1. Battle Behind Center: JM has had a rough year. In spite of having a world of talent, it just hasn't seemed to come together. Sure, there have been flashes, but there has been glaring inconsistency and the rumbling of fans wanting the next man up. The fact is, he has to be consistent in this game if he is going to get the victory. He doesn't have to do everything, but he can't be the reason they lose. Wait... who was I talking about again? Joe Mixon? Jalen Milroe? ... Yes.

These two quarterbacks share remarkable similarities in different areas, but are worlds apart in others. Milroe connects on more deep balls and is dynamic in the running game, but strangely takes more sacks than a whole cul-de-sac sac of dads trick-or-treating with their kids. We know how Joe is. He must pass for at least 175 yards to keep the defense honest. It's time for a deep ball or two. We know Heupel can scheme that open against Bama. Jalin Hyatt says "hi". Milroe has been less effective in the run game recently and some think that he is a bit beat up and protecting himself or unable to scramble as he did earlier in the season. When it comes down to Mixon vs. Milroe, whoever has the better play gives their team a decisive edge that only turnovers can equalize.

2. Defensive Line: For Tennessee, the key is to pressure, contain, and bring Milroe down. He can't escape for 20 yard gains and he can't pick up 3rd and long with his legs. Tennessee will likely be fighting a crimson tinted whistle all night and good luck getting more than 1.5 holding calls, regardless of what actually happens on the field. On the flip-side, the main concern for the Tide is slowing down Jaylen Wright. They will not be able to do that, because he is a beast-man who scored against Purdue (never forget) and doesn't give a damn about the whole state of Alabama. Tennessee needs to rush for over 200 against a Tide defense that is only giving up 105.3. Tough ask... but it can be done.

3. Turnovers: Tight game. Can't win if you are on the wrong side of this. Alabama is +.43 in turnover margin this year. The Vols are +.17. Tennessee needs to find themselves +2 here.

4. Dee: Nick Saban would likely kill the nearest human if Dee laid his hands on a punt or kick, but if Dee did happen to... it would be a good thing.

Prediction: I've seen all of the Tennessee football this year, and I've not seen a complete, 4 quarter game well executed yet. I'm not looking for perfection, but entire quarters have gotten lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Sorry folks, but you can't beat Bama with your best 3 quarters of football, and I'm not sure we get even our best 3 quarters at this point. Solid game, but unless you see Milton outplay Milroe, 200 rushing yards and +2 in the turnover margin...

Bama 24
Vols 20
