Orange skies in morning, Sooners take warning!

 

[RavinDave]

I would love for TN to embarrass Oklahoma today which would also give us major attention as a contender this year

but I’ll take any win. Just win.

Sooners after the game: I could of been a contender!

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Time to flip the script on the “road woes” storyline. Nico’s garnered comparisons to Peyton and Hendon.

After today, I hope we’ll be talking about his resemblance to the Ice Man. Road warrior.

Yeah, I’m the same way. Winning on the road against a top 15 team could generate a lot of things going forward. But a dominate win, helps in so many more ways. Other teams see these type wins and start to check on themselves.

Recruiting bonuses…

Why is ESPN still hammering us about the 10% up charge on tickets. Every school is going to do this whether they publicly announce it like us or not

The Vols defeating the Sooners tonight in Oklahoma could be as pretty and memorable as this Orange LaFerrari.

The offense might resemble that Ferrari, but the defense is more like a mid-90s F-150 that just keeps running.

Just saw Venables on GameDay, seems like a nice guy and good coach, gonna be a shame to hang 40 on him at home.

I didn’t imply that you have a gambling problem.
I was talking generally for gamblers that are betting on this Saturday Night Week 4 game.

Not really because it’s been a long time since Vols fans experienced the joy of the Vols defeating the Sooners because we know the misery of disappointment for 2 consecutive seasons in the 2010s decade which was when I was going to the University of Omaha, and when Family Home video was thriving before the COVID shutdowns.

Go Vols!!!

 

[Woodrow Call]

I know our fans will enjoy Norman. OU has a beautiful campus, and Oklahomans are very welcoming people. My daughter taught at OU and lived there for several years. We always enjoyed our visits.

Beating OU is always a tall drink, but Tennessee is the better team this year. I'm not sure the Sooner defense can stop our running game, and if they can't, the Vols could win big.

Anyone know who we got behind Davis at LT? Will we be rotating in freshmen?

Wow, they didn’t even attempt to edit that lol

Pitt scored 55 on Kent State. The other two teams that NC State has played scored 38 and 30 points. The other two teams that Chattanooga has played scored 24 and 10. Kent State is just not a good team. NC State is not as good as some thought they would be.

Tennessee is an explosively offensive team who can score points. NC State attempted to keep that in check by playing keep away. I suspect all teams this year will try that, unless they feel they have a defense that can effectively put pressure on Nico and stop the running game.

This is the first game of the year where we will be tested by what appears to be a really good football team. We'll know more about what this season holds after tonight.

NC State SCORED 38 and 30 points in their other two games. Their opponents had 21 and 20.

They still aren’t as good as everyone thought they would be. I’m interested in seeing how they look against Clemson today (even though their starting QB is out). And how their year plays out.

 

[TN1111]

I hope our defense comes out fired up. Understandably the talk is all about our offense vs Ok’s defense, but I believe our defense is the real deal.
