Vols...in Prime...Time

[JustFunnN'Orange]

Have you watched Ohio State much? They have trouble stopping the run. Will Howard was bothered all year when teams threw pressure at him. They haven't had a constant offensive line and have changed it repeatedly because of injury and play. Plus, I think Day has lost that team and fan base.

I was hoping someone would bring up these points. I have a good friend in Colombus that's a Buckeye fan going back to the days of Woody Hayes.
He's not excited to be playing UT with the way OSU has played this year!!

Your right about their talent. Best money can buy. They have an all star coaching staff as well. That's why Day has lost this team and fan base. Money can't buy team chemistry. I look at Tosu as the John Calipari version of football...elite talent, average play

So you’re predicting us to win? Good for you.

 

[VolCalls]

They are not Georgia. Alabama and Georgia have just as much NFL talent on their rosters. We’ve played both of those and beat 1.
Dogs at home is much harder a place to play than Ohio State at home.
Kirby is light years better as a coach.
The spot that we played Georgia in spotted them 7-10 points.
Those are the type games that Georgia loves to play in. Ohio State? Not so much. They struggle mightily with the SEC, especially in meaningful games like this one.

So you’re predicting us to win? I hope we do, but no way I’m betting on us - we haven’t played a complete game all year.

Indiana will get blown out

Indiana will play ND closer than we’ll play Ohio State.

Tips on staying warm in the stands?

Ski bib and parka plus hand warmers?

You can't make much noise with gloves on, and everyone around you's down fill and thinsulate absorbs your yells.

I suggest hiding a throat mic under your turtleneck and a wifi speaker under your balaclava.

Or take cowbells.
No one's gonna mistake you for Mississippi State playin' this late in the season.

Feet - Two pairs of socks, first pair 100% cotton, second pair 100% Merino wool. Ugg Adirondack III boot, one size too big to accommodate the double socks.

Legs/Lower Body - 100% cotton trapdoor underwear. Shetland wool pants.

Upper body - Short sleeve cotton shirt, covered by a Melton wool shirt. Thinsulate overcoat.

Hands - Gore-tex mittens (double layer type)

Head - Double layer wool cap with ear covers. Cashmere scarf to over mouth if needed.

Likely, I'm overdoing it, but I HATE frigid weather.

Maximum eyes on the screen for us to whip Ohio State's arse!

With a freshman QB, would anyone not have taken this situation for the Vols if offered in August?

 

[EastTNVol6240]

No way our guys won’t be up for the game. Add in their gonna feel somewhat slighted at least. Plus repping the SEC, chance to show up a team perceived as a power, plus on the road, plus playoffs, etc

We haven’t been up for a road game yet this season. Hope that changes.

Going to Ohio or the North Pole?

Seriously? Texas is going to eviscerate Clemson. Indiana Notre Dame is a coin flip.

Really? Clemson has been playing decent ball. What impressed you about Texas during that SEC championship?

UT will end their season!

Realize he's probably around 90. He stays cold year around

 

[utvolz98]

Rejoice vol nation we have made it please don’t let the anger of CFP rankings ruin this moment for you it’s loser mentality to think we got screwed let’s hit Ohio state head on and crush there face

We screwed ourself losing to Arkansas. Would be in 5 seed at worst without that loss.

 

[Other_Guy]

So Vols go to Ohio State, whip their bums, then Nico goes home to play in Rose bowl, then we destroy Texas in Miami in the REAL Orange bowl.

Put the alcohol down! Lol

Most intriguing match up in first round, and it's not close. Another thing, which I think works in our favor is JH. PPL don't really talk about it, but JH won the NC as a player and star QB, so you have to know, being in the playoffs have him juiced (the moment's not going to be too big for him), and can give alot of wisdom to current Vols on how to approach the process.

I am more confident with our path after watching OR and PST. Last night. Our run game should feast in these games.

I'm confident too...doesn't mean we win or win out...but if we play our game, we have as good of a shot at being NC than anyone. It feels a little 1998ish...no one really vibing on the Vols, just going under the radar. Also, there's no clearly dominant Bama, UGA, OSU team this year. Championship is there for the taking, IMO.

@NO SIR EEE are we going to get a what other message boards are saying playoff thread?

 

[HoptownVol]

Feel pretty good about this OSU matchup, we win this one then there will be no more shadows cast on UT football for a while.

Some thick arse socks.

I can't believe we have so many sissies in this fan base. Grow a set and go whip some A. Sampson will run for 150 and Nico will have a great day. Their O line will wish they had stayed home.
