Saban's thoughts on Tennessee...

[majorvol]

Can't wait to hear what he says after the lost.

 

[jrwvol]

You don't get to be in Saban's position by overlooking opponents, however much overmatch their personnel. He is probably preparing for Tennessee with the same zeal that he would Oregon or FSU. It's hard to sneak up on a Saban coached team.

We did sneak up on them in 2009 with a team that had no business being in that game, much less having a chance to win in the final moments. CLK's personal and professional flaws aside, he did have that team prepared to play.

From his Monday presser:
--Saban sees real improvement from Tennessee in recent weeks.
--Tennessee's tackles are very good players. They're very effective on the offensive line and they run for more than 200 yards with few sacks. That's all signs of a good offensive line.
-- Saban notes the lack of penalties for Tennessee. The Vols lead the SEC in that category.
-- Wins like Tennessee's over South Carolina are huge with new coaches and new programs, Saban said.

As I recall, Saban said Dooley was "doing a fine job" and left it at that. Whereas here, Saban seems to be citing specific signs of improvement by Jones and staff. Maybe something, may be nothing. Just my humble observation.

Throw the bomb on 1st down

If we're gonna play this game though, I want my horse collar and 15 yards from last weekend. I also want the targeting call back from game 2. I also want the........

Just hush and win. Everyone is on the level and you conspiracy theorist need to get a grip.

Why are you here?

On a side note: If this game is somehow close in the second half, you can bank on having to beat both Bama and the refs. Slive and his minions would hate the thought of their golden goose getting tripped up by Tennessee.

Link?

Is nothing. He gave several specific signs of UT quality after last years beat down and putting it in neutral for the 4th Q. Told us how much we were improving Thanks of course to his close friend, our head coach.

We were improved ... The exact improvement any UA coach would want.

 

[QuickSmurf]

Your team would be the first to do so. No team during his tenure has "leveled him a few times".

Good luck with that.

Hey do me a favor and spread it around that we can't sack AJ. We will get to him. Promise!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Saban isn't concerned with Tennessee. Saban believes if his team executes properly he can beat any team in the country.

Every interview by Saban: "If we execute this or that"

If his team does execute properly they can beat any team in the country. That's not anything new.

 

[FlVols]

Great game against USC and now on to UA roll tide. We will be ready. Full game effort by Vols! These coaches and players finally get it! Go Butch Jones and Go VOLS! Beat the Tide!!

 

[TXA&M07]

Why are you here?

I wonder that myself sometimes.

 

[drodvol]

Saban is concerned only with whether it will be Oregon or FSU that he plays in the NCG.

Sad but true.

 

[BearCat204]

Why are you here?

Why are you here? STFU before you become the victim of a 30 for 30

 

[jtlhotspot]

Saban is gonna get Butch slapped :dance2:

 

[FRO]

i am now dumber having read this.......

 

[overseasorange]

Saban doesn't get it.

With 4 championships, I would say that he does.

 

[novol]

He also said Dooley was doing a fine job. It's just coach speak

He recommended Dooley, didn't he?

 

[knoxvols11]

He will not be the coach at Alabama! He is and will remain the coach of the Dolphins! Where do you guys come up with this? Lol

 

[Boogie]

It's just coach speak Bammer jammer row tide. Hate dat der vawls and dat der war
Eagle! Row tide....hate dat der coonhound dawgie too and dat der power t row tide!

Are you watching the game at Bad Dawgs on Saturday?

Us CHI vols have to stick together!

 

[Perkins_Hall]

I hate them so much, I will never eat Bama jelly

you're dam right. i don't eat bama jelly nor gator-aid.

some VOL fans see saban's comments at "friendly" "respectful" even "classy." that's fine. i see them as patronizing and condescending.

he's a punk and i hope by some miracle that we kick their @$$.

 

[TheEndlessEnigma]

You know why every tree in the south leans towards the state of Alabama......


Because the whole d@mn state sucks.

wind is because Miss. sucks and GA blows.

He should....their talent exceeds everyone else's by a light year. Frankly, he should never lose a game.

How they got that talent is another story....

But eff em anyway...let's go Vols!

 

[VolFan4Life87]

It isn't the state you hate,it's Bama football that makes you hate it.

No it literally sucks in comparison to most of Tennessee

 

[qb19]

Have you been posting your Bammer woman picture a lot since it is Bama week?Do you have a lot of Bammer pictures saved?

If the shoe fits....
