I've been wanting to start something fun to post for each game this year so I think I've finally thought of an idea. I obviously know what Vol fans are talking about, but I always find it interesting what our opponents are talking about. Kind of like watching MSNBC instead of Fox News all the time. I already know what Fox is going to say being conservative myself, so I watch MSNBC to see what the other side says (and to be entertained).
Each week I will try to post discussion topics and their content on opposing fan forums. So this week, let's get started with Utah State's fan forum.
USU's fan forum can be found at USUFans.com • View forum - Merlin Olsen Field (Aggie Football)
1) "Predict the Score" - Similiar to our weekly predictions, they do a prediction contest for the entire year and the winner gets an autographed football memorabilia of some kind. The predictions, in proper biased fan fashion, are about 90% for the Aggies. Almost all posts say USU wins but only by one score. Although there was one score of 31-9 that I thought was funny.
2) "Question to Vol fans" - The OP concedes that Neyland is worth at least 7 points in this game but if the game were in Logan, would we, as a fan base, be as confident? First off, the Vol fans that responded were surprisingly nice...someone even told the Aggie fans coming to Knoxville to message him and he would give suggestions on good tailgate spots. The overall consensus was that UT would send at least 10k fans to the 25k stadium and that the altitude would be the biggest problem.
3) "What will be biggest surprise in Tennessee game?" - Keeton rips up the UT defense. Aggies are up big in 4th. Tennessee's wide receivers living up to hype. Aggie's defensive front being terrible. Somehow the conversation turned in to an argument about the recruiting rating system. USU fans seem to argue they make 2 and 3* recruits more valuable than our 4 and 5* recruits.
4) "Tennessee fans hoping" - Starts out basically pointing out that UT fans believe Neyland will be too much for the Aggies to handle and thinks it's silly. Several Aggies concede admitting it will be hard in Knoxville. Bottom line is both team's fans agree it will be a tough game. One funny Aggie fan said "The name of this thread should be Utah state fans dreaming , Tennessee wins 31-17. You can bet one of your wives on it." Mormon joke made me laugh...
5) "UT Doppleganger thread" - This thread takes pictures of Vols players and gives them a funny doppleganger. I did think the Brian Randolph and birthday cake one was funny. They also had Pig Howard to Flava Flave, Von Pearson to a show dog, Travarris Saulsberry to Worf on Star Trek, and several others that were honestly all in good fun.
6) "Real discussion keys to game" - Getting through the inexperienced O-line to pressure Worley seems to be top priority. Another big one is the Aggie need to run the ball and they believe they will be able to do it. Some think their high tempo pace will be hard for Tennessee's defense to handle in the run game.
7) "Logan ranked second best College town in country" - A link is posted but I didn't even go. I just laughed.
8) "How good is Butch Jones?" - Points out that CBJ is 1-11 against T25 teams. Initially suggests that Malzahn or Sumlin would have been better hires. One guy makes fun of UT fans for always blaming Dooley on everything, including CBJ not beating more T25 teams last year. One guy points out that CBJ had a done of success in the MAC so the debate against the MWC that the Aggies are in ensues.
