Sean McDonough on the call, best in the biz (on TV, that is).



Edit: one of the comments says "this game made me believe in God" lol

Damn, to have McDonough doing the national games today ......

Although Brad Nessler (despite Danielson) is the best around today. Sadly, we're stuck with ESPN hacks from here out.

As an aside, did anyone ever run more like a man than Travis Henry?

 

[Behr]

I can't wait til this game is over so we can hear how bad Arkansas sucks. We wont see anyone say "Well I was wrong", only "Arkansas sucks we get a real test next week against the gaters."

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This might be a very different game than what many people expect. I look for a dogfight down to the last play.

Listen to the name of Safety who keeps missing tackles.

If this goes down to the last play, then UT just didn’t play their game. Arkansas is not a great football team.

It might. But if it's not and we blow their doors off, or just handle them from start to finish, it will be because they suck.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Fingers crossed that our O-line is better this week and we see the offense put up big numbers. I always get a little nervous still on gameday even though I picked UT to win lol.

I think will be a hard fought game, but we cover the spread.

But we don’t really know if TN is “great”

We know they’re much better than Arkansas.

And that’s fine also! I hope we make every team look horrible.

I think so, but I don’t know that.

You're ignoring my point, but that's okay, I'm just being antagonist lol.

Dang I hope not. I’d be happy with another OU-type game where you know the Vols are in control and then relax at the end

Arkansas doesnt have depth or speed that TN has. Neither on defense or on offense.

I hope it's like it was against Kent St. And next week too. The next one can be like the Oklahoma game.

#34 Travis Stephens rose to the occasion his 2001 senior year at Tennessee, becoming the Vols' first All-America tailback since Johnny Majors in 1956. Stephens blasted for 1,464 yards his final year on The Hill in 2001, setting a school single-season record in leading Tennessee to an 11-2 mark and a No. 4 final ranking in both major polls. He also set the record for season attempts with 291 and tied the single-game record with 41 attempts against Arkansas. Stephens topped the 200-yard mark twice and collected more than 100 yards in five other games. He averaged 122 yards a game to lead the SEC, securing his place as a Doak Walker Award finalist.

I don’t think this one is gonna be close. Just my gut.

Two TD's

Do y'all think Nick Saban wants to bitch slap Pat Macafee?

Too funny, as are Gus Johnson's over the top calls.

Jamal was a monster.
