Love seeing the Rant taken over by the BAMA/UT fighting

UT is proving that they are the worst fanbase.

I was in school in the 90s.
Tennessee football was religion and they viewed everyone else as heretics.
Talking to a vol fan back then was like being jumped by the Spanish inquisition.

Hope is a beautiful thing... as I watch it get crushed and snuffed out.

I thought it was LSU, but my mind has changed...it's definitely UT and their delusions of grandeur.

Don't worry. The lights will turn back on Sunday and the UT roaches will scurry back under the baseboards.

Huge discrepancy in caliber of player, if Bamas back up cuts out the turnovers Bama still wins big.

UTs Offense will face off against bamas d and between bamas dbs and dline, bama will dominate the trenches.

Funny seeing Hope raise her head somewwhere else.

I can't really blame them. Any of us would be acting the same way in their position.

I agree. It slightly reminds me of how we used to think, "Oh yea, this is the team that can knock off anyone for a National Title" after we tasted some lite success, only to have Florida/Alabama/(insert whoever) find us and blow our doors off.

It's been so long since they've mattered on the national stage, they don't really understand what it takes to be one of the 4 best teams in the nation.

i've hated TN since the mid-sixties --- believe me, vol fans are the same then as they are today

If they meet us undefeated

…..And we beat them….we are going to have to play them twice again.

quote:

---

If Bama meets us in the SECCG with a loss, then they know they have to win to make the Playoff.

---

you think bama is going to try any more or less hard against us based on how many losses they have?

quote:

---

Like last year. If they meet us undefeated, they won't have that win or die attitude as we did last year

---

the ONLY reason we made the playoff last year is because OkSt choked at the end of hte year and there were no valid alternatives to put above us. If bama or uga is undefeated into the SECCG and loses, it's entirely possible the loser does make the playoffs just as its entirely possible they're left out, it's completely dependent on what the other P5 conf champions look like.

quote:

---

We need Bama to be less desperate when we meet them.

---

this is just silly. Again they aren't going to try less hard if htey have no losses.


If bama is undefeated and we beat them, tyhere's a 50/50 chance we may have to play them again. No human on earth with a brain should aspire to have to play bama twice in a month.

If bama has a loss and we beat them, they're 10000% out of the playoffs and we're a massive, monumental step closer to being national champs.

Call me crazy but I'd rather a sceaniro where we don't have to beat alabama twice.

Not true, our body of work the whole season with no L's put us in there

---

that's not true or provable at all, and we did have an L. To go along with not winning a title. Our resume was 12-1 without a conf. championship. You know how many times in history a 1 loss P5 champ has been left out of hte playoffs in favor of a non-champ? Zero. It's never happened.

. It was anomaly game for us in the SECG and the voters understood that.

---

The voters are clear and consistent with their decision making and have been for 8 years. I am basing my opinion on black and white facts of what they've actually done, not just conjecture. A 1-loss big 12 champion that was ranked 5th going into the weekend that had multiple top 10 wins on their resume would 100% be in the playoffs over a 1-loss tema that did not win their conference.

quote:

---

Also, they put us at #3 and not #4

---

to avoid us having to play bama for a 2nd conseutive game..

The Vols are going to win. It's not that Tennessee is that great but Bama is running on fumes.
