I say 4 for the Vols, 6 for Arkansas
Tennessee is winning no less than five

Ohio State and Tennessee are the only teams to never lose 8 games in a season.

Butch Jones isn't going to start his time off at Tenn THAT bad. Not to mention the players will have the new system down and hopefully a quarterback shows himself by that point

Well I just got done scrolling through the previous 10 pages and multi-quoting all of the interesting posts only to find out that you can't multi-quote over multiple pages.

I think that UT let Florida off the hook yesterday. For whatever reason, Butch Jones is force-feeding the QBs and WRs his offense when all we really need to be doing is running the ball. Florida gave Tennessee TONS of opportunities to go up in the first half. I didn't expect us to win though, so I didn't take it too hard. I'm starting to grow frustrated watching the progression of the team though. I would have hoped that by now we'd show some sort of promise on offense. I will say that the mark of the Dooley era was players giving up. Florida would have won by 21-24 if Dooley was still there.

I'm not so downtrodden that I think Tennessee is toast for the season. They will win against South Alabama next week. They won't beat UGA, Bama, or SCar. Then they have Auburn, Mizzou, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky. I think that by then the team will have gotten their feet under them and started to gel. I could see Tennessee at least splitting those final four games, with a strong possibility of winning three of them.

I loaded the quotes. THE COLI IS GREAT

Worley super garbage. I don't think they can get any lower than that.
It's sad how much worse than Worley that it can get. Peterman was horrible. He singlehandedly let Florida go into halftime leading. UT left AT LEAST six, as many as fourteen points on the field. Should have been a closer game. But it's kind of hard to win in the UT-FL rivalry when you never run the ball.

Lol @ florida, tn, nd, msu and usc all playing AT THE SAME TIME and none of the teams are worth a got damn :scusthov:
It was all good just a decade ago.

Surprisingly havent seen or heard the name Manziel all day
I know what you mean. I felt like I had to go out of my way to find updates on him. ESPN and CBS know that they oversaturated the market with Manziel talk and cashed it all in last week. At least they have the tact to move on.

LSU for real
They are very very real. I didn't think that they'd have a loss by now, but I didn't think they'd be gut-punching teams like this.

LSU at Alabama game of the year
It could be and I think that LSU has a lot better of a chance against Bama than a lot of people thought at the beginning of the year.

What's up with all these teams running up the score today. There is no reason someone should win by 70+ points
Usually teams play their asscheeks opponents in the first couple of weeks. By now, a lot of these teams have had time to hit their stride. It would be like a squirrel stepping in the way of a full-sprint, raging rhino.

Hill is the truth
He has it all. It's fun to watch him hit the hole and get to the next level almost instantly. He was also blowing right by/through Auburn linebackers and I don't think that they're an All-American group by any means.

Did this idiot Arian Foster throw UTenn under the bus?
Yes. He also made sure that he had a legal team check with the NCAA and UT before he made any comments. He thinks that he's at the forefront of a college football revolution, so I get why he thinks he has to take the wheel and do something crazy like this.

To be fair, I wouldn't give a shyt about UT after the way he was treated while he was here.

Some dude said this team was a Mike Shula team :scusthov: I swear them fukking fair-weather fans.
LOL. This might be 2010 all over again for yall. Just a little lapse then back to normal.

Regardless, Bama's fanbase is extremely spoiled at this point. Still should be a top 5 team in anybody's list.

I think it'll be more like 2008, ya know Senior QB, established RBs and good freshmen RBs. But anyway if I see any losses on our schedule, it would have to happen next week or November 9th. A lot of bandwagoners came on after 2009 too :yeshrug:

What's this all about?

Leach said "fukk You" after the post-game handshake.
Mike Leach, Paul Petrino exchange unfriendly words during postgame handshake

It wasn't exactly to the level of Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz, but the postgame handshake between Mike Leach and Paul Petrino on Saturday wasn't very friendly.

Petrino appeared to have some words for Leach as they greeted for a brief handshake. Leach took offense to whatever Petrino said and responded back with a few choice words of his own.

Evidently, Petrino was not very happy with WSU's tactics at the end of the game. In an attempt to preserve their first shutout since 2003, the Cougars put many of their defensive starters back in the game on Idaho's final drive. The drive ended with WSU stopping the Vandals on a goalline stand.

The exchange didn't lead to anything else, but could make things awkward if the two coaches run into each other at the grocery store with Idaho and WSU being just eight miles apart.
