I’ve heard Knoxville is beautiful this time of year and the Tennessee fans are a class act."

Well, he’s correct in the first part of this post. Second part? Dunno. 😂😂

Oh Jim Mora Jr. He was the first domino that fell. The next thing you know, we get Derek Dooley. Mora gets canned in Seattle. Pete Carroll leaves USC to go to Seattle. USC poaches Lame Kitten. Then we get Dooley, Botch and Cornbread. Eleven years wandering in the wilderness. I hope we hang eighty points on them!

Ouch! That's kinda harsh. I'm sure Mora didn't want to be fired. Maybe you should be mad at the Seahawks. They started the cascade.

I really, REALLY wanted Derek Dooley to do well. He went to the tailor three different times to get the shade of orange on those britches just right. His heart was in the right place.

Funny thing. Here is an article from EXACTLY twelve years ago that speaks to the disaster not totally being of Dooley's doing.

What's Wrong With Tennessee Football Has Nothing To Do With Derek Dooley

The Vols suffer not just because of present injuries or past drama, but a three year recruiting failure that the program hasn't recovered from yet.

Shout out to the UCONN couple I sat next too at the Alabama Tennessee game last year in TBA. They had to be the only people in there wearing different school colors than the two teams playing, which is why we started talking, and they were way super cool. They said they’d be back to see Neyland and this game so show them some love.

Not a lot kicking on their side, I mean they’re basically a basketball school, so I pulled what I could. Enjoy.

-Good thing this game is at noon.

-Line jumped to -35, take Tennessee

-Final score and everything else is up to discretion of Tennessee.

-R.I.P. to my Huskies

-If I have a second favorite team it’s Tennessee. There is a big donor trip involved with this game. I hope we raise some money.

-Listen I'm not saying we're going to win this game, but imagine that upset all over ESPN about how Tennessee lost to one of the worst teams in the FBS.

-If we keep it within 20 against Tennessee then we can beat James Madison.

-Main goal for Saturday: No injuries.

-Let’s believe in miracles, we can beat Tennessee.

-This is one of those games where you enjoy some cold drinks and some good food and just talk about life with your fellow alumni and celebrate 3 yard gains.

-Tennessee can name the score Saturday, don’t fool yourselves fellas.

-It’s been a rough season and this weekend is gonna suck.

-I think we can score 10. I think.

-We might get some points in garbage time, that means the entire second half.

-They’ll lead by 40 at half and cruise from there. Let’s get out of Knoxville with no injuries and try to win these last few games we have left.

-I’ve supported every week for as long as I can remember and I’ll support this weekend, but we aren’t winning this one.

-I’m making the trip for the game. I can’t wait, I’ve heard Knoxville is beautiful this time of year and the Tennessee fans are a class act.

This would be a hell of a basketball game and perhaps Barnes will schedule UCONN in the future.

For sure. I wouldn't be shocked if they flew a few over our dbs and made a game of it. I'll actually be more surprised if we run away with it early.

Yeah I've been saying for years the ole adage "cupcake team" has been gone for some time. EVERY team has the ability to play with any team these days...thanks to transfer prevalence, better high school coaching/training, and an exponential growth in talent the last few years....better be ready to play when we step on the field/court every single time.

Really hope they have the experience they are expecting. We should be known as a class act fan base; definitely don’t want to be lumped in with the Florida’s, Bama’s & Georgia’s of the world.

I dunno?...not sure there is much reason for Vol fans to be toooooo rude to UConn fans. All and all I believe TN fans are cordial to other fans. The cordialness depending in whether the opponent is from another SEC school or not.


Seriously. I don't think our fans are any worse than others...and probably better than most. It all depends on the situation. You're probably stupid if you piss us off though.

When I made my earlier post regarding that I wanted to say about 98 - 99 % of vol fans are a class act, but every fan base has that 1 - 2 % that give them a bad look.

Boy is he in for a rude awakening.

I hope not, mostly we as a fan base are a class act. Are there a few that aren’t aware of how to properly behave in public, sure, every fan base has those. However all in all, we are a class act fan base.

I do one for every game if the opposing team has a message board and has material. Everyone seems to enjoy it, don’t be a stick in the mud lol.

Personally I look forward to both the pre and post game versions of these. Thank you!
