-There's a thread specifically titled "Volnation is not optimistic". Referencing posts from this site saying we will get killed.
P
did you tell them that volnation.com is the place to be ?better than any of there crap boards and that there just Auburn and the Vols are glad there looking so far ahead ? the Vols will win this game,because there team is like there fans,wanna be Sabans stepchild,the ugly one
First and foremost be aware of a poster named DooleysOrangePants. Apparently he's an Auburn troll who is bragging to other Auburn fans about his troll job.
Anyways here goes:
-Pretty much zero respect. Not surprising. A lot of "can't make fun of Tennessee after the season they've had" talk.
-Much like South Carolina did, they are referencing their victory over Arkansas as a prelude to this game. They seem to think we are of the same talent level as Arky.
-They are concerned about Bama at this point. Chalking up us and Georgia as a win.
-There's a thread specifically titled "Volnation is not optimistic". Referencing posts from this site saying we will get killed.
-General predictions have us scoring between 15-20 and them scoring 38-45.
-They are pulling the "lets just hope our players get out safely since Tennessee tries to injure key players" nonsense.
-They are giving big time respect to Dobbs. Saying he will probably have great stats.
-One pretty cool thing I saw. A poster is asking about Knoxville because he's never made the trip. A lot of Auburn fans are responding saying how awesome our stadium and campus is and how cool the river is by the stadium. So I guess we're getting respect in that area.
-Quite a few posters are referring to this game as a "bye week".
-They're not happy about the 7 pt spread. Saying Vegas hasn't given them their respect all year.
-They're pretty convinced they will rush well on us. Especially the QB.
-They are referencing the South Alabama game a lot. That seems to be a pretty general trend among rival teams.
-Not intimidated by Neyland.
-Also not intimidated by our O-line.
Pretty much all I found. As I said, they are worried about Bama. They see us as a dust up for UGA, and they see UGA as a dust up for Bama. But a lot of them think they will beat Bama so the delusion doesn't surprise me.
These are some of the scores Auburn fans have predicted for the game.
Auburn 44 - UT 17
Auburn 41 - UT 20
Auburn 31 - UT 14
Auburn 48 - UT 18
Auburn 38 - UT 17
Auburn 38 - UT 13
Auburn 38 - UT 16
Auburn 38 - UT 17
Auburn 48 - UT 24
Auburn 30 - UT 19
Auburn 34 - UT 13
Auburn 31 - UT 23
Auburn 45 - UT 10
Auburn 31 - UT 16
Not much respect.
They are, for the most part, correct
I'd probably be offended by the tone of their comments, but I can't disagree with some of the points they are making. We are what we are: a 4 win / 5 loss team that is in the 80's or worse in total offense and total defense, and giving up more points than we score.
Of their comments I'd say, too much emphasis on that South Alabama game. I'm sure their analysis doesn't take into account Worley's three interceptions that made that game much, much closer than it really was or the two games that followed it (which showed we were better than that final score). I'd also say we are clearly better than Arkansas.
That said, we have the worst rushing defense in the SEC and they have one of the top 5 or 6 rushing offenses in the country. Those two combined make me think they have a point that Auburn should put up a lot of rushing yards on us.
In the end, I think Neyland will be a bigger factor than they realize, particularly since they are still a young team.
28-24 bad guys win a nail biter.
