re: Anyone else looking forward to Verne's play-by-play on Saturday?

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/12/16 at 12:31 pm

So glad he is done after this year.

re: VOLS update injury report for TSIO

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/12/16 at 12:29 pm

Is JRM out for the season? Does he try to get a medical RS for this year and play next year, or does he just go to the draft?

re: Does Tennessee get blown out this week or do they have another close game?

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/11/16 at 10:24 am

Bama rolls.

UT is hurt. And even if they weren't, they are just really inconsistent. They play really well in the 2nd half, but you aren't going to be in a game with Alabama if you have like 7 turnovers and spot them 3 TDs.

re: While Florida couldnt beat Tennessee on the field...

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/7/16 at 6:09 pm

Of course it would go to Florida, it is based on win percentage if I recall correctly.

Forfeit U looking to back into the SECCG.

The only point of this is FLA is scared to play LSU...plain and simple...

There is no other explaination.

Yes there is.

Florida is looking to back into the SECCG by not having to play an extra conference game. Completely gaming the system.

And they are pussies.

I dont blame the fans.

I do if they aren't holding their AD accountable.

Granted, it is mostly Bammers white knighting for them but still..

re: Would you blame Tennessee?

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/7/16 at 3:57 pm

I'm confused. Why are Bama fans so eager to white knight for Florida?

Is it some kind of proxy war- stick up for LSU's opponent to get to LSU fans?

How are you feeling about the game with less than 24hrs to go?

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/7/16 at 3:51 pm

Not going to lie- with all of the injuries, I am getting pretty nervous.

Do you think we will see more of Fils-Aime or Kelly with Kamara this weekend? Both, and they stick with who is moving the ball? Both only have like 2 or 3 carries this year.

I fear Trevor Knight is going to run all over us. Georgia ran for almost 200 yards. Jumper and McDowell going to have to try to contain the best they can.

After Hurricane Rita, Tenn offered to fly into BR on a monday, play the game, and fly home on the same day in 2005. Not only did Tenn make the offer, but they did it and won in Tiger Stadium. Much respect to Tenn. Go Vols!

Amazing what happens when two classy programs want to compete and live up to the values they preach.

Then you have the Gators. :rolleyes:

re: Better chance of pulling the upset, Arkansas or Tennessee?

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/7/16 at 2:52 pm

I think Tennessee upsetting the Aggies would be more likely.

But it is hardly an upset when it is an 8v9 matchup.

Looking forward to the game.

re: Old Sarge wants on

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/7/16 at 2:50 pm

I feel like I am in the minority- I actually kinda like Sarge.

We have had some decent conversations on the Rant last year, amidst all the trolling.

I think he is good people. I think it is just easy to get caught up in all of the shitstorm on the Rant.

That is pretty much how every Vol fan feels too, tbh.

Tennessee has shown is can be a good team this year. Will that team show up in the 1st half? Don't know. Haven't seen it yet.

re: Well that escalated quickly...

Posted by Ancient Rome on 10/5/16 at 12:12 pm

Btw, don't tell anybody...

I'm a native Houstonian. Used to be an A&M fan when I was in High School. Moved to Knoxville in 2006... and I have been completely assimilated.

A part of me still pulls for the Aggies I suppose. But not this weekend. :cheers:

Go Vols.

Pretty shocking that more of them think Texas is going beat OU than think UT is going to beat A&M. I think we win, but it's going to be a tough game.

If Tennessee plays exactly like they have this season... it won't even be close. A&M will roll.

Tennessee can't spot A&M 20+ points to start the game and expect to come back. A&M is much better than Florida and Georgia.
