I know this opinion would go over like a turd in a punch bowl over in the FF, but I really wish there was some way we could just forfeit the game Saturday. We have literally no chance of winning, but there's plenty of opportunity to pick up devastating injuries that could hamper our chances at winning some of the swing games later on in the SEC schedule. No good can possibly come from the team getting on the plane and flying out to Eugene this weekend.

LOL.

It's just a lousy position to put a team who's complete lack of depth constantly leaves us dangling on the edge of disaster. Clearly I knew we were going to have to play the game, I just haven't been able to dream up ANY scenario where any good comes from it. Possibly like one guy said it helps get Worley into some sort of state of preparedness for what he's going to experience at The Swamp.

I think it's great preparation for the Swamp. I'm all in favor of getting some guys out of the game if we're down four scores in the fourth quarter, but you have to play the game and give it a shot. This is still a team full of college players. They aren't the 49ers.

They face the possibility of catastrophic injuries every day in practice and they damn sure can't win those either. Lets forfeit practice.

We have nothing to lose Saturday. Buckle up the chin strap and go make yourself a ****in hero.

Yeah, some injuries would really ruin our chance at the great season we're primed for except if it weren't for this one game against Oregon.

Sorry, can't get on board even slightly with that one. I only give us a slightly higher percentage chance than you do but they're called upsets and underdogs for a reason.

Bingo. It's not like our paper thin roster has title aspirations. It's not like our paper thin roster couldn't have been hurt against AP when we had no way of losing. I could toss the pigskin to Scotty for a couple hours on Saturday afternoon and we'd dust up AP

Yeah, but you know he'd trip over a cornhole board running a fly pattern and be out for the season. Better just not to even pick up a ball.

How you mod threads like the abortion going on in the FF with the Duck fan is just beyond me. I would have the worst trigger finger ever for clowns like that.

Serious question. What if we're down by four scores in the 1st quarter? How long do personally think you leave the starters out there getting demolished before you just throw in the towel, get them safely to the sideline and get some experience for the younger guys?

What if Mariota throws four straight pick six's and we win 42-10?

"You play to win the game."

Butch should do what is best for UT's chances and then evaluate the 4th quarter if it gets bad.

I always have, and always will, favor a biscuit but I must admit to having some damn fine breakfast sandwiches on everything bagels in my day.

We'll see I guess. I feel like a lot of people are going to get a really rude awakening this weekend to just how depleted our talent level has gotten. I'd be willing to be Oregon wins by at least 40, and that'll only be because they let off at the end. Their insane speed coupled with our unthinkably slow defense creates a combination that makes them a legit threat to score on EVERY play they run. It's not a matter of IF they're going to have some 70-80 yard runs, it's a matter of how many.

Did you see the Ducksfly dude call out Verc over his modding? Saying he was "calling his bluff" and whatnot. Dude struggles...

It will be bad, and we will lose. You were horribly wrong on the AP game BTW ;) (if I am remembering correct, which is a big "if" sometimes)


Hopefully you are somewhat wrong on this one too.

I like it. While we are at it lets just go ahead and forfeit for Bama, Georgia, South Carolina, and maybe even Florida.


We want to be fresh when he hit November and play the fellow bottom feeders, so to hold onto the hope of playing in the Fast Freddie's Payday Loans Bowl in Muncie, Indiana.


SMH. We are still damn Tennessee and we still play the game regardless of whether we are vastly undermanned or not. The day Tennessee starts thinking like you mentioned is the day I can no longer support them.
