The Official #6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

The “we fired your coach” one for me. Wtf lol. So much for Heupel being well received.

Some of our sooner fans are annoying with such signs . Most OU fans love Josh .

 

[Proud Army Wife]

OU says the same about Houston

Are they? I’ve seen A LOT of trash talk from them over the past 2 days.

Ok I need advice. How do I make my west coast raised sister understand that I cannot hang out with her on Saturdays? She is pleading with me to come “watch the game” at her house tonight because there will be beer and girl talk. I have told her 50 million times that I prefer watching the Vols alone. Idk how else to make myself clear without being mean. Girl talk?

I threw up a little in my mouth reading that. Prayers sent

It’s okay to be mean sometimes, especially when the situation warrants it.

Make up an excuse and let ‘em down easy. Got a buddy who always wants me to come watch at his place. Ain’t got the heart to tell him I’d rather stay home and watch in comfort lol

She is having a lot of people over, not cfb fans mind you. For them games will be on multiple TV’s but they’re casually observed. I can’t possibly enjoy myself watching this game like that. Would be different if they were a bunch of Vol fans but they aren’t so I simply cannot allow my peace to be disturbed tonight.

My sister-in-law’s husband’s sister’s husband’s best friend…,

I already told her that I’m staying home and watching alone and that’s that. I just wish she’d stop asking every weekend. Like ma’am if you want to hang out with me that badly then you are welcome to come to my house but you will be quiet when the game starts.”

 

[jhcrane14]

I am going to be working tonight and have the game recorded. Going to get home and watch the game and hope our Volunteers get a big win.

I figured if I stay away from social media and don’t talk to people, if I get home and watch the game, it’s pretty much the same as watching it live

That’s the worst. Absolutely no way to watch a game as important as tonights is.

I allowed a casual to watch the ‘22 Bama game with me but I warned her that if she starts to talk about anything other than the game I will kick her out lol.

As well you should. Got to set the right boundaries.

She's your sister. She's supposed to be annoying. And you're supposed to be annoying to her.

This is the way. Relax and accept it.

 

[adam.vol]

Great Morning to you as well! it’s a great day to be a Tennessee VOL!

I have had to do this before. Make sure you turn off ALL notifications before your shift.

 

[JohnWardForever]

J

only if NC State mounts an epic comeback in the second half!

Yeah well, I was being conservative,, lol. My point being they Would cover the 20' spread.

Exactly. Come to me lol.

 

[MemphisVol77]

I'm not applying too much transitive property to the NCst/Clemson game. NCst is clearly over matched by Clemson, like they were with us. Why extrapolate more with point diff, W2 vs W4 performance, Clemson coming off bye, conference matchup vs OOC....?

2022 Pitt didn't end up being the quality win we thought it was. That didn't stop us from improving and taking it to better teams.

But yeah, I'd totally feel better had NCst taken Clemson behind the woodshed.

Maybe you should have bitten the bullet and watched Kent St. with her (nice no stress game) and give her a taste of what that experience would be like for HER. People have learned through experience not to ask to watch games with me. Especially if they have small kids.

My dog sees TN run through the T and goes straight to the shower for the next 3-4 hours….

Yup my husband and kids know to leave mom the hell alone when the Vols are playing.

 

[FlVols]

UF and MSU, both look so beatable! Both of those should surely be W’s for us good guys!

Agreed. But it is the reality of “we ain’t played nobody” that is unsettling….
