Lot of games left.. If we win out, good chance we get jaw jaw again 1 vs 4 at a "neutral site " aka Georgia Dome.. I like our chances, is hard to beat a team twice in one season.
I knew the Vols were going into a shizzle storm in Athens after we got the top spot, like pouring gas on a wildfire for UGA.. Still got a good chance, just gotta take care of the rest of our games and see how it turns out

Here’s the national passing leaders.

We see HH every week. We know how great he’s been. But there are Heisman voters outside the southeast who may have only seen his highlights, if they’ve seen him at all. When it comes time to cast their ballots, they may just pull up that chart and say “eh, he’s good, not great”, and pull the lever for Stroud or Caleb Williams or someone else.

Unfortunately, style points matter.
Agreed.. I could care less about the hypeman, ever since Peyton got shafted in 97.. Eyes on the real prize is staying healthy and beating UK and then jaw jaw

Nuff said.. Forget all the hype and stats.. The reason the Vols will win this game is heart and hunger.. The Vols are starving for a big time win.. Go Vols!!!
9  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Richardson is way overrated.. on: September 18, 2022, 05:27:43 EDT
I know the history of this game, have seen 40 years of this match-up, mostly from a sad point of view but I  like our chances next week..
 Richardson has had a lost look in his eyes from last week, he is a lost pup..
Mark it up, Vols win big next week! 💪 😎
10  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Who do you want to be the next coach? on: January 20, 2021, 03:17:34 EST
As obnoxious as it sounds and far out.. Peyton Manning.. He's a VFL, he could amass any coaching staff he wants and could most likely compete with the likes of Bama in recruiting.. Who wouldn't want to play for Peyton? Yeah it's a stretch but from what I've seen of sub par candidates so far, I'd take Peyton if he's up for trying to put out dumpster fires lol
11  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: What Is Going On: Football Coach Edition on: December 31, 2020, 05:05:23 EST
Starting out the year, we won a bowl game against a good IU team.. Had one of the longest winning streaks in Div1 after the first 2 games extending from last year, after a terrible start last year..Covid obviously screwed everything up in the spring and the fall and then Guaranturnover showed his ugly head in the 2nd half of the jaw jaw game and the shizzle continued to hit the fan after that.. With that said, hopefully with Bailey as qb and a decent recruiting class and most of our starters returning and a few coaching changes,next year may be the turning point. With what little there is available for options of another HC, I am ok with giving JP one more year to right the ship but one year is it.. Either get it done next year or get out!

14  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Wee Willie Weinke on: November 13, 2020, 12:46:25 EST

I don't see it that way. As someone posted on another site, Shane Matthews was fifth string at Florida when SOS got there, and he ended up being SEC First Team two years running.  Is Harrison a bust already, or are our coaches just not developing the talent?

And FYI, Weinke is the QB coach, not the OC.  A guy who had two years of doing that for the Rams then got fired.  Again, not impressed with his resume.

Maybe our QBs will turn it around prior to season's end.  I sure hope so.  Not holding my breath though.
All I hear about is how great Pruitt recruits and then nothings is done with these players once they get here.... Is like UT is where good players go to fail. I don't think Bailey is a bust.. I think the coach we have now is just another Butch 2.0. I had hopes but in his 3rd year I expected more than this, covid be damned, all the other schools are dealing with it too so we can't be using that as an excuse.. Going from DC to HC is obviously a big step,
I hope he gets his $hit together but it looks doubtful..ugh Is like this program is snake bit.. Smdh
15  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: We score 7 against KY and Pruitt fires the DL coach on: October 19, 2020, 12:48:14 EDT
Pruitt sticking with JG so long reminds me of Fulmer keeping Sanders as OC until the heat got so strong that his own job was in trouble. This right here makes no sense firing the DL coach. Just when you think we have a good coach..
16  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I went back and watched the tape this morning on: October 19, 2020, 02:52:53 EDT
I had to work yesterday and couldn't watch the game.. I was checking in from time to time on my phone.
A coworker asked, when it was 34-7 "wth is going on with Tennessee?"
I had no clue. My first and only thought as to why this happened was to say..
"Guantanamo must have screwed the pooch" Not knowing about the 3 turnovers and 2 pick 6's yet.
This is a 5th year senior qb, not a freshman.. After 5 years at a major college football program with a rich football history and top notch facilities, this is all we have to show at qb??
Hell I'd dig up my granny and dress her in pads and roll her out on the field before I'd put his sorry ass out there again..Have seen this train wreck WAY too many times. The ending never changes  
17  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: So, if you had to make the call...... on: October 18, 2020, 12:46:27 EDT
What are our coaches doing?  How do you not have one QB really ready to go?
Exactly.. How many times do you see a kid come off the bench and lead his team to victory or to take the starting job away from another. Like Tebow did against us years back or even this year with what Bennett did for UGA at Arky.
They act like JG is the only thing we got. Pruitt says JG is our best chance at qb ?? I just don't get it.
Is more like our best chance at a meltdown and screwing the pooch single handedly like at bama last year.
Both backups from last year should be ready to go by now. What happens if JG goes down even if he was playing well?
I blame Pruitt for coddling JG and the qb coach for not having the others right there, ready to play  
18  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: So, if you had to make the call...... on: October 18, 2020, 12:10:26 EDT
I've had enough of JG, is time to build for the future. I thought he would finally fill into his spot this year but the kid is a disaster.. He's been streaky at best and he can go from playing smart and protecting the ball to head case at any time. I'm tired of seeing him in a UT uniform. I would put any of the 3 backups in or give all of them game time according to the down and distance or game situations. I'd even go wildcat with Chandler,anything to try and spark the offense after a performance or lack of like this.
We won't beat bama even if we had Joe Burrow at qb so imo, it's time to take the the training wheels off and see what Bailey can do and put the JG years behind us.
19  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: On a brighter note... on: October 12, 2020, 12:33:48 EDT
4-17 on 3rd down....Turnovers by Gitmo the 2nd half giving UGA offense the ball on short field position.....UGA offense had the ball OVER 13 minutes more than us which is darn near a whole quarter means our defense was gassed in the 4th quarter. For the most part we played good defense....But I do hope at some point I see us have DBs who can defend and cover...defend the slants...the middle of the field. Our DBs are slow as a group and can't keep up. Seems we've signed 40 DBs over the last few years and we still can't get it right.

The offense was pitiful...the scheme and game plan was even worse.
Agreed.. I was expecting a better scheme than that or at least some adjustments by Chaney at the half to get the ball out quicker. Roll outs or some screen passes to get the ball to our backs passed the line of scrimmage.
A flea flicker or shovel pass.. Anything to burn them on their rush.
JG screwed the pooch with that int and held the ball too long but that wasn't all on him.. Piss poor play calling and no effort to change things up
20  Sports / VTTW Message Board / On a brighter note... on: October 11, 2020, 08:36:31 EDT
UGA's defense looks to be the best in the conference. I liked how our defense fought all game and kept us in the game despite losing our DE to that boneheaded targeting play and our lack of running game, thanks mostly to UGA's defense.
There is a lot of potential for the rest of the season. O-line has to get better as does the running game but I don't think they will face another defense as tough as UGA's. Bama looks beatable, their defense looks weak but it's still Bama.
Everyone else is a toss up.
There is a lot to focus on and get better at but I do see improvement, especially on defense. They just ran into the best defense in the SEC yesterday. Lots of football left to be played. Go Vols!!  
21  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Welp.. Great 1st half.. on: October 11, 2020, 02:23:03 EDT
Defense played tough..
2nd half play calling was terrible.
JG showed his old tendency but UGA defense was tough.. Would have like to see Chaney call more roll-out plays and get him out of the nonexistent pocket in the 2nd half, not that it would matter much..
We still swimming in the kiddie pool..
A year or two more recruiting sadly looks like.. Ugh
22  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Vols 12 point underdogs to the pups... on: October 10, 2020, 01:26:51 EDT
Hope it's pouring rain.....Rain=Equalizer.
Agreed. The key to Georgia's defense is speed. The one thing that can negate that speed is a sloppy, wet field.
Georgia's D looks good after 2 games but I've seen some media picks saying UT won't even score a TD on them..
If I was Pruitt I'd sure let that O-line and the rest of the team hear about that which I'm sure they have and I'd let it stick in their craw till game time as motivation. I think the Vols will pull off the upset in a close and soggy mess.. Vols win 27-24  
23  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Vols 12 point underdogs to the pups... on: October 09, 2020, 02:17:06 EDT
This program is past due for a BIG win. They almost had one last year at Bama and have made a lot of improvement since that game.
They finally have the players and depth to compete in this league and great coaching. I think it will come down to who wants it the most on Saturday and I know the Vols are hungry. Time to see what they are made of and if they can finally turn the corner.
24  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Vols 12 point underdogs to the pups... on: October 09, 2020, 01:29:58 EDT
I like our chances Saturday. Pound the rock and let that big O-line wear on jaw jaw's D the whole game.
Maybe luck will bounce our way on a fumble or two on defense as well with the heavy rains and sloppy field.. Go Vols!
