Than the feared juggernaut Appalacian state that you barely upset ?

Appalachian State is the best team in the Carolinas, including the Panthers.

I'm still upset you didn't suicide your account had app state won.

I don't mean to take up for UT fans, but there's a decent chance App State is actually better than VT.

We may be down, but not that down.

As stated in another thread, we have great skill players, especially at WR. The issue is our OL is not deep, and one injury, and it is UT in the backfield all day long.

Our D is solid minus the most important position, the MLB. Can Bud mask it is really the question?

Then again, I still predict UT to win by 14-17.

App state is better than UT as well. They just have a crappy kicker.

I'm not even saying that really. I think VT is a top 40-50ish team or so.

App State is actually pretty solid. In the same range really. Georgia Southern is the same way. Not a huge brand, but definitely not a standard cupcake.

No. In as much as things can be judged, VT is not even in the class with App. State. Plus they have a new coach. That won't help.

Our FG kicker besides having a mulligan at UF and still missing the game winner, missed two FG's at Bammer and we lost by 5.

I almost turned blue last week watching him kick.

It was a CBS writer that picked USC to beat Bama 38-33. So there's that.

Our kicker during the Johnny era nearly lost us a few games. He missed a kick once against some crappy team and I just lost it in the stands.

I will say this about kickers. Had Sumlin not iced the kicker against UF in 2012, we would have won the home opener. We lost by 2 and their kicker missed the 1st attempt when Sumlin called timeout. Fast forward to the end of 2012. We get into the SECCG over bama. Aggy and Georgia have a shootout. Winner of that game takes home the natty with overrated Notre Dame. Still salty.

Here is what Bammer did last year.

vs. No. 20 Wisconsin* W 35-17  
Middle Tennessee* W 37-10  
No. 15 Ole Miss L 37-43  
Louisiana–Monroe* W 34–0  
at No. 8 Georgia W 38–10  
Arkansas W 27–14  
at No. 9 Texas A&M W 41–23  
Tennessee W 19–14  
No. 2 LSU W 30–16  
at No. 17 Ms. State W 31–6  
No. 9 (FCS) C Southern* W 56–6  
at Auburn W 29–13  
vs. No. 18 Florida W 29–15  
vs. No. 3 M State* W 38–0  
vs. No. 1 Clemson* W 45–40  


Besides the loss to OM, only two teams kept Bammer's winning margin to single digits.

Tennessee and Clemson.

I don't know about Clemson but we have pretty much the same team as last year.

Who was the moron that said VT would beat us by 12?

I guess it is fun to say stupid anonymous shite on the interwebs.

I guess the fact that ESPN and the other media outlets chose to talk a lot about UT in the off-season goaded all the mouth breathers on this site into closing their mouths and grinding their teeth.

UT could stumble but most likely not.

Satterfield will be coaching at a P5 program sooner than later. He reminds me of Dino Babers when he was at BGSU.

Looking forward to getting hammered all day tomorrow and watching the Big Orange pull out a W

Not that bad if USC would have scored a few more TDs and Bama had not then he was really close

USC also quit on them selves and their coaches on that game once they got down a little bit. Hard to predict that
