Why does it feel like everyone has written us off?

FL loss, QB and WRs look bad, no notable wins besides a couple of middling SEC teams. We win tomorrow and you might start hearing some rumblings of possibly winning the east, but no one will have us beating UGA
 
Who has Bama beaten that was good? A&M is the best team either has beaten. Texas is better than anyone UT has played but they beat Bama in pretty convincing fashion. Texas had almost 100 more yds of total O playing at Bama.

Ole Miss is actually Alabama's best win and they are ranked in top 20.
 
We’re too one dimensional. Heck, even last year we ran for almost 200 per game on top of what Hook and crew did through the air. That’s going to bite us. And probably starting tomorrow on the road.
 
I have every confidence that CJH is keeping the team fully informed of what all the know-nothings are saying. Thinking you are being disrespected is a great and time honored motivator.
 
If they don't know it now they will hear it when they come onto the field tomorrow. I am more concerned about the TN fans that are going at the game.
 
Our qb play is subpar. In the modern game, that is going to severely limit your ability to compete.
 
Almost all fans and a lot if not most, prognosticators, are always living in the past vis a vis college football and tend towards the obvious.

They just see bammer at home and assume its a wash.

For the record, the absolutely face of getting it wrong and just accepting the conventional wisdom is Chris Doering. He is predicting double digit bammer win. This is the same guy that predicted Tamu over bammer because "they are better at every position than bama". LMAO.

He said that bammer will dominate our LOS on both sides of the ball. Rolling eyes...he is apparently unaware that bammer is allowing a record numbre of sacks and that we are in the top ten in the nation in that category.

Let me put it this way...Doering picking bammer actually makes me feel better about our chances...and you can throw a lot of other fans and talking heads onto the same pile as him. :p
 
Nothing like flying under the radar and folks giving you no chance. As long as they believe! I believe and a lot of others do too. There are never guarantees, but if we play to our capabilities we can win no doubt! Every SEC game is tough, we have to play focused smart tough hard nosed football! GBO
 
Seriously, in every news source I see, nobody is talking about the Vols even having a shot at the SEC of the CFP. I recognize that the one loss to Florida hurts us, but there are teams with bad losses still being talked about. Just feels like everyone has written us off.

I still believe we have a solid chance to run the table, win the east and who knows what else?

Georgia is very beatable, as is Bama. Our defense has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the SEC and have lived in the backfield of the opposing teams.

We just need Joe and the receivers to start clicking. If that happens, we absolutely can win out.

Why are we not getting talked about?
Because the receivers and Milton are not getting it done
 
That crowd will have Milton so flustered it wont even be funny. The only away game of note we have won under Hype is LSU last year with Hooker. It's going to be a long Saturday

Screw what they think. We have a chance to put it right tomorrow. Enjoy the ride

If the elephants get home cooking we lose. If they beat our secondary we lose (PI CALLS OR HOLDING). If we dont run it down they're throat and start trying to pass every down we lose. They will stack the box and have Milton try to beat them with his arm.
