USU Aggies Spring Ball Video

and you still lost. they played bad. they were a 5 or 6 loss team that yr. they played bad and still beat you. if you want to talk about " almost" wins we have a number of those over the past few years. but it doesnt matter.

Between the "almost wins" and "got spanked", UT might be the most prolific program in the country.

Seriously, who is better at this than you guys?

2011: 5-7 with 3 blowout losses.
2012: 5-7 with 3 blowout losses.
2013: 5-7 with 5 blowout losses.

Tennessee is definately on the way back.

Name one of those 21 losses your team would not have lost. I can name more than one of those 15 wins you would not have won.

No one has denied that UT has gone through a valley. In each of those years... UT has beaten teams better than you were in those years.

The fact that UT has lost to Bama, LSU, UGA, Auburn, Oregon, etc... helps you how? You aren't even on the same planet talent wise with any of those teams.

You. You continue to attempt to derive relevance from "almost" wins and then beating up on an extraordinarily weak schedule.

And how would you capture the great UT wins in just a word or two?

im just saying you played 6 teams last yr with a losing record. Not only were they losing teams but they were among the worst in CFB. You played 1 team that was exactly .500......i just dont understand how you can make fun of UT. Theres not a single team we lost to that wouldnt have hammered USU. I just dont understand it.

makes no sense.
 
SJT bought a condo on their site :)

Nah... just took a rental.

I usually don't bother myself with opponent boards. But something about the ridiculousness of these clowns made me curious.

They're not faking it. They're not trolling. They really believe that their team comprised of 10-15 3* and a bunch of 2* or less players is more talented than UT. They range from those who constrain themselves to predictions of a "tough fought close game" to those predicting a win. They truly believe that 3 years of relative success against incredibly weak competition makes them a big time program.

I have seen some deluded fans before... but never all of a team's fans. It is fascinating.

I'll give you 5: Better than your best win.


In the last 3 years, you have NOT beaten a team as good as NCSU, Cincy, or USCe. As low as this valley has been... they've still beaten teams you wouldn't beat and they haven't lost to anyone you would not have lost to.

Are you really still arguing on here? You're a program that typically, historically wins 1-4 games per year in a crap conference. You ought to be balled up over in a corner saying absolutely nothing, but instead you're playing internet tough guy by cherry picking the last 3 down seasons UT has had in an otherwise historic, national power football history.

We've won 6 national titles, the last one coming 15 years ago which would appear to be right around your birthday given your incredibly ignorant sense of any history beyond 36 months.

You are catching UT in the worst 4 year stretch in school history, dating back to the early 1900s. Congrats. If we were at the level we have typically always been, this would be a 27 pt line and we'd beat you by 5 tds. As it is we're rebuilding after our last HC decimated every facet of the program. That being said, you guys damn well better bring your A game if you wanna hang around and not get embarrassed.

I've noticed something pretty funny about you USU folks... You like posting our win/loss record while ignoring the brutality of our schedule. You have to go back 4-5 years to list the few relevant teams you've played as parallels to what you'll see against us.

We play more and better teams in 1/2 a season than you see in four years. Because you've never had a decent schedule, your ignorant of the effects that has on a team, so I'll cut you some slack.

USU lost to every decent team they played last yr. They only beat the garbage teams. The 1 exception was NIU in the Bowl and everyone in the nation found out they were overrated. They lost to Bowling Green the week before USU and had an absolutely horrid defense all year in the MAC
 
My only concern with this game is if Keeton plays, and if he plays well or not. If I was their HC I would keep it a secret if he's playing or not. Keep CBJ wondering. He'll either prep for him playing or not. If he doesn't and he plays it might bite him in the arse. If he does prep for him it'll stretch his resources, so I would def keep that close to the vest if I were their HC. I won't feel comfortable with our possibilities in this game until I see who runs out in their first drive. If he plays i'll get nervous until I see if he's going to play nervous or balls to the wall under the Sunday night lights of Neyland.

Joker Philips did this prior to our '12 game, Sumlin benefited from not having to show Manziel off prior to the UF game because of the LA Tech game being postponed. Though they lost it was a huge benefit imo, and no one being able to prep for him helped them that season. Last year confirmed that to me. I think Stoops benefited by Saban not really knowing who the QB was going to be, and not that much solid tape. OU being able to get him ready under the radar was a good strategy.

So that's why I'm concerned until whether or not Keeton comes out. Not so much about Hill if Keeton isn't playing. With Keeton it can be close and their "David heart" vs Goliath can help them beat us. If he isn't playing or he comes out timid then we should be fine. May not be a blow out but definitely knock the kinks out vs "the little engine that could" type of team.

Some of the arguments here are pretty invalid for both sides.

History does not affect a single game. Tradition, sure. But history? Unless there is a drastic rule change in the next few months, I don't think we will be seeing any Volunteers on the field that have won a national championship or even a winning season. Are they talented? No doubt! Do you kill us in recruiting battles because of history and tradition? Absolutely. Would I want to play this Tennessee team in a year or two when all these young fellas are acclimated to the game? No, thank you.

My point is that this game is definitely interesting, especially because it is at the beginning of the season. To disrespect Utah State is a little silly, considering we were receiving love from ESPN in their "Way Too Early Top 25" after the football season had finished.

I would very much like to attend this game. I envy UT for the ridiculous amount of support it garners from its faithful fans. Make no mistake, we at USU are jealous of your money, facilities, traditions, trophy case, and rivalries. However, I doubt that prevents us from coming out and making this a game to remember.

God bless the great states of Tennessee and Utah!

Good post. I don't think, in all seriousness and not trying to be rude, that USU has the athletes to play with Tennessee, especially in the secondary and LB position vs. our RB's and WR's. Now, if we don't have a QB that can get the ball to them (Which I believe is very possible) we will struggle and be in a dogfight because of our inexperienced Offensive and Defensive lines. I'd like to call myself a realist and if I was completely unbiased (I know, silly to say because I'm a die-hard Vol fan) I'd still pick Tennessee because the SEC caliber athletes we naturally get compared to the ones you all have sparingly, and the fact your QB is coming off a season-ending injury. Don't get me wrong, if Keeton plays like he can and Tennessee comes out flat, the Aggies can win this game. :hi:

If other USU fans came here with this attitude, there wouldnt really be any bickering. Its the guys that come in and say we suck because we havent been able to beat teams like Alabama, UF, UGA, Auburn, Oregon and others over the past few years. Something that very few teams could do.

Even if they do this, our coaches will just prepare for Keaton anyway. He's the biggest threat to us in that game. We've struggled against running QBs for quite some time.

If they have to play a backup, we've got this game in the bag and it could get ugly. They don't have anyone else on Keaton's level to run the offense.
 
He will play most likely but I still have my reservations about a true dual qb coming back after having acl/mcl repair. It's going to be tough mentally for Keeton for a while no matter what their fans think. He also has a brand new line in front of him. He won't have anybody coming after him forreal until the UT game. You just never know. I just have a hard time believing he's going to return as his old self, in the first game back in 11mths, 2000 miles from home in front of 100k and the knee not be in his head. Besides, I've seen several UT players recently really struggle mentally and physically coming back from this injury even after being cleared. Maggitt comes to mind. Hunter had it in the back of his head. It also took Marlin a while to start running with real purpose again.

Really have no intention of disrespecting USU. To the contrary, respect what they've been able to do the last few seasons. Just really got sick of reading posts on UTs message board from a couple of classless USU fans constantly disrespecting our program, our history, our traditions. Definitely intended to disrespect those jack wagons.

Appreciate your post. Make no mistake, while we expect to win, the overwhelming majority on here know UT's freshman-laden will have to grow up quickly and play very well to win, especially given the state of our program and the fact that we are in rebuild mode after the worst 4 year stretch in 100 years due to the previous administration. Here's hoping for a well played game and no injuries.

He's easily the most delusional opposing fan that we (USU) have come across in a while. He literally thinks he knows more about our team than we do, and talks up your team like they will be in the Natty this year. He's just hot air, talking out of his ass. I only came over here because of the sh*t he was spouting over there.

I think both teams will be good (top 35ish teams), and the game will be a dogfight. :hi:
