C-Lo, you and @CAVPUT are my two favorite negas!I’ve been redeemed
Sorry, but it has already been admitted to by the person that did the stealing. USC had not played good ball to that point. It is awfully hard to believe that a team we beat handily one year could suddenly become amazing the next. Couple that with the destruction we laid on them last year with a weaker QB lends even more credence to the accusations.People can believe what they like... but I believe the "theory" that Michigan gave USCe UT's signals. That team flat out wasn't good enough to do that to UT.
I've always hated NC State. I mean like if they fell in the ocean I wouldn't care. You just humanized their fan base, and now I'm kinda ok with them not falling all the way into the ocean. Maybe just on the shore like half in and half out. Definitely a small rip tide in that spot though.-I know the WCU game was only one game, but I do not have the warm and fuzzies about Tennessee game. If I was a betting man I would put it on Tennessee to cover.
-I might feel a smidge better if we manhandled WCU. Struggling to assert dominance until the 4th quarter may be typical for a Doeren led opener but nonetheless worrisome. We don't usually win games like Tennessee.
-I've never felt like we were going to beat Tennessee...just hope we can keep the score respectable and not lose by more than 10. Right now, I don't think we will keep it within 21.
-We should probably stop scheduling games against big programs at the beginning of the season. We just don’t fare well.
-The simple fact is, we always start slowly. Not a complaint, just a statement regarding our situation. Is what it is. Let’s at least amass some wins at the start in order to build confidence and experience.
-Tennessee is going to look past the Pack just like the Pack looked past the Cats. 24 - 21 Pack.
-UT is a lot better at home, i'm sure they travel well but i wonder if this neutral site being in NC will give us any advantage.
-If you want easy money, you turn your head at the betting window and take Tennessee.
-Tennessee is going to roll us. They are easily a top 2 team in the nation.
-Tennessee will win by 20 plus, it is what it is.
-Against the Vols, we need our kicker to kick every kickoff out of the end zone. We need zero turnovers, minimal penalties, and no stupid penalties.
-I have zero hope after seeing Tennessee yesterday, their qb didn’t even play the 2nd half and won the damn Heisman.
-This game is going to be like the gator bowl game against Texas A&M, a blowout. We lose 56-21.
-I saw way too much from UT yesterday to even think we have a prayer on Saturday night. Tennessee is a playoff team and likely a national title contender.
-WCU beat Chattanooga 52-50 last Oct. Chattanooga scored more points on them than we did.
-Did y’all see those Tennessee offensive and defensive lines? They will destroy us.
-Those Tennessee receivers will have a field day.
-Tennessee travels very well, they’ll out number us, there’s zero advantage.
-That Nico kid is one of the absolute best college qb’s ever and they will torch us.
-I want to feel good about this one, but if we couldn’t pressure WCU, what makes anyone think we can pressure Tennessee?
-Tennessee’s first string may sit out the 2nd half of this one too. Tennessee is a damn good football team and may be even better than they were in 2022.
-Show up, tailgate and have fun, but we ain’t winning this one.
-Tennessee was very nice yesterday, they could’ve easily scored 100. They’re good and we’re not, it’s a loss.
So good to see us finally back to being the deflators instead of the deflated.-I know the WCU game was only one game, but I do not have the warm and fuzzies about Tennessee game. If I was a betting man I would put it on Tennessee to cover.

I have family who went to NC State, I went to one of their basketball games and Stanley cup playoff games like 20 years ago, back when it was called the RBC Center. I like NC State, but they are not ready for my Vols.
As long as you aren’t talking the French Army circa 1805 or so; I will agree with youI also have family who went there. Pack is definitely my 2nd favorite team, as the Vols are to them. I hope they go 11-1, win the ACC, and make the playoff. But I also hope they lose like the French army on Saturday.
Still, with the way Heupel is recruiting quarterbacks and the way that southern football gets media attention now unlike the first several decades of our history, it feels like it might just be a matter of time. I understand why our fanbase is so jaded in that regard with Majors and Manning both getting jipped, but Hendon wasn’t far away from being in the top four, and that was Heupel’s second season. If things keep trending in the same direction, it’s not hard to imagine Nico, Macintyre, or Brandon winning the darn thing.They obviously don't know our history and that particular paperweight.
