Reading some of the Utah newspapers and player/coach interviews Utah State is looking at UT like a tune up game for them. They are very confident that this game shouldn't be a problem for them.


Well if they thinks it's gonna be a tune up game they are mistaken. I could see it coming down to the wire and maybe they win but if they win it won't be by a lot

I also wouldn't be surprised if they became overwhelmed by 102,000 deafening fans and completely unraveled. They've never experienced anything like that

Looks like Neyland is gonna be standing room only. Impressive considering it's not a big name opponent imo. It'll be interesting to see how Utah St handles this atmosphere.



That doesn't surprise me. A week and a half ago my dad got access tix and let everyone know if they wanted them to tell him. A few waited a day and said 'yeah talked it over with the fam get me X no for X game' but a day was too long - these were good tix for all the various games. First time I can ever recall them going this fast even in the 90s they didn't go this fast.

That doesn't surprise me. I read the other day that season ticket sales were on the rise for the first time since, I think, 2008. Butch definitely has the fanbase's attention, that's for sure. I can't wait to see how good attendance looks when we actually put a winning product out there.

Yea but it won't be near as loud when we re out there on offense as it will be for them

Yes, it'll be loud when we re on D but verbal communication isn't near as important on D

I'm terrified of this game. I hope we win, but just so many question marks.

Meh the only drawback is it doesn't look as nice, much easier to fill the stadium this way plus there's a little more room

I don't think you've got a choice. You took that Volagra early - we told you to wait another day but did you listen? The little orange pill is nothing to mess around with.

45-17 UT. I don't think the game will ever be in doubt. Even if it's a closer score, Utah State won't threaten y'all.

Best of luck to the Vols this weekend.
