If I was Butch, I would have JW hurl a deep pass off of play-action to start the game. Whether it was completed or not it would serve notice that UGA better not cheat toward the box this game.

beats Georgia every time

Yes. No more stupid long developing reverses on the first play please

I don't see the trash talking but the real story here is that Floyd wasn't even aware we had OL issues until he was told.

I think we will be ok. Our run D is much improved, our WR's are significantly better than their secondary. If we can keep Worley protected and keep the sacks/pressures to a minimum, we have a chance to be there at the end of the game.

The oline does have to improve this week for us to have a shot at a good season. I suspect they will but when I watched that offensive tape of OK that Freak put together you could see Worley really helping them immensely by being smart with his feet. Last time we had a line this rough was when Crompton was here and that's when they started rolling him out so much in part I think to assist the line. I think planning escape routes for Worley would help with what is likely to be something we struggle with all season.

You must have forgotten already how Mr. Butch went out of his way to light a fire under the Bammer players last year, as if those boys needed any bulletin board material, with his red team label.

Calling a team by the color of their jerseys hardly qualifies as bulletin board material...

Floyd was a no show last year and I expect him to remain the same. The last time I seen him Neal was running away from him. That was all I remember of Floyd

Look I dislike mark richt as much as the next guy but Floyd is a player. Watch some film on him.... I mean not better than us but he is a player.

Those aren't orange. There is only one orange. Well plus a few different shades Adidas comes up with.

I have a UT shirt that is really dark it doesn't match at all and has black plain lettering over yhe front that says GO VOLS. Litterally every person has said it looks like I should be on the side of the road pickibg up trash. I stopped wearing it. I think it was made that way deliberately.

Possibly my favorite story regarding this sort of psychological warfare was from Gen. Neyland.

The story goes that prior to kickoff one third-saturday-in-October, Neyland approached Alabama's Wade and humbly asked if Wade would shorten the second half if Tennessee was taking a beating against the superior Tide.

Wade agreed.

Tennessee went on to stun Alabama and win the game.


If memory serves me correctly, that would have been the 1928 game, Neyland's first against the Crimson Tide. Gene McEver returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown.

I agree Floyd is a player but last year against Tn sad OL he was a no show period. Not for sure what MR has to do with Floyd being a no show last year though.

I'd like to see this. Hail Mary styled play first play of the game. However I worry it could just as easily be a sack. I still don't trust our OL yet.

That sounds right. I could verify by breaking out my copy of "The Big Orange" by Bebb, but I'll just defer to your memory and say you are probably correct.

Your account of Neyland's psychological manipulation of Wallace Wade prior to the 1928 Alabama game is corroborated by 100 Years of Volunteers, vol. 1 (fast-forward to the 15:40 mark). A grainy video clip of, presumably, McEver's 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown is also presented therein (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjCPlflS4Ko).

I had forgotten that I had written about this event, with citations, in June of 2013.
