Let me start by saying this has been the most frustrating attempt to find a decent message board I have ever seen. They really only have one decent one, and the layout and structure of it is the most ridiculous bunch of jumbled nonsense I have ever seen. But then again, when you only have a handful of fans the chances of having one as talented as Freak are low.
Here's what the Tiger faithful are saying:
-Mizzou wins by 3 scores is the general theme
-The notion that UT has paved the way for them by injuring key players to their opponents is ignorant because they've had 2 major injuries this season too (2 whole injuries.........)
-They admire our strength of schedule but I quote "It builds character but doesn't help them win games"
-This was posted by a UT fan:
...... personally I would prefer he didn't "cheer for the Vols this weekend". C'mon man.
-I did come across some Mizzou fans discussing Tenn vs. Oklahoma. Surprisingly we were getting respect in that department. Most are predicting a UT victory.
-We wouldn't have beaten South Carolina if not for the crazy catch so apparently the South Carolina victory is insignificant
-They find zero comfort in Dobbs starting. Saying "yeah he's a freshman but he's ridiculously talented. Tennessee always seems to have extremely talented players"
-back to the schedule discussion. Apparently we "haven't really played that hard of a schedule, because the only rankings that matter are the ones at the very end of the season"
-same UT fan again:
-They expect us to travel well
-General predictions have us scoring between 3-10 and them scoring between 24-30. I find this funny because they are basically predicting the same score that Bama fans were predicting.
-A lot of what you'll find on their boards is still talk about last weeks game. Talking about the death threats and verbal abuse the kicker is getting, talking about how the laces were in, etc. A lot less time spent discussing the upcoming UT game.
-They think the James Franklin "questionable" status is a smokescreen to make us have to gameplan for it. As do most fans over here it seems.
