    Last night Alabama passed for nearly 300 yards

    As a TN fan, in my opinion (and I'm not sure it would've worked), I would have run the ball more against us and almost never passed it. JJ averaged 5.3 yards per carry. Your QB threw...what 4 picks? Yes, you only scored 6 points, but throwing the ball tonight wasn't what was needed. Alabama...

    An attempt at an unemotional post regarding NU and UT....

    I had one more sentence in there that said: Apologies for the long post. If you've read this long diatribe, then you must be a passionate fan. Then I had to delete it because my post was too long. I would never make it on this board. Only important thing I wrote....read the last 3...

    Two Important Rumors (for UT)

    I've seen the same thing. Hamstring injury. Kamara is listed as the starter. I suspect Hurd will not play at all. If he could play, he'd be starting. Major suckage for the guys in orange. This game just got a heck of a lot more interesting...makes me very nervous as a fan of the "good...

    Thought you all might be curious of Tenn home board mods picks....

    I'm a premium member on another Vols board and on the pay side (in other words, the more knowledgeable fans and less of the 12-20 year olds), and the average current prediction is Vols 24, NU 17. Full disclosure, I think the Bama game was the only one in which the average poster predicted a...

    Bump for football discussion...

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a punt included in a higntligh film before. But as you said, that might have been the play of the game, and it was from our punter (which is a tough thing to admit). He's been doing that kind of stuff all year, and the kid isn't even on scholarship. Been a huge...

    Bump for football discussion...

    I'll echo what Rowdy said...while we do still run in between the tackles, most of the big runs (i.e., highlight film material) come from the outside. Hurd and Kamara will both bounce outside way more than cut up the gut, but it's probably 2 or 3 to 1, outside to inside in order to keep the D...

    Bump for football discussion...

    Oh, you must be confusing me with some other Vol fans. You can read my thoughts on this subject again in the very first post. :) I know you're sort of ribbing me, but truth be told, I think any Vol fan (me included) would be lying if we didn't admit to some small moral victory knowing that we...

    Who is the Biggest Villain in Program Lore?

    We have a couple of mutual enemies on this list. King of them is James Franklin though. Took advantage of UT's worst years in program history to go 2-1 against the Vols (which is embarrassing on so many levels). Not to mention the guy is just a world class douche. Speaking of his "hot...

    Thanks for the highlight vid. After watching it, and re-reading this thread, here's my take: - Thorson is no slouch as a runner. He's got both good size (so lazy tackling will not bring him down), and once he gets in the open field, he's got really nice speed. What year is he? I suspect...

    Agree with the chess match comment regarding your D line vs. our run game. Here's a 40 minute clip of our season highlights. Obviously, it's only the good plays but for anyone that just needs 40 mins to kill and Friday can't get here fast enough, it's a quick glimpse at what we'll try to do...

    Ha, I didn't realize that semi-anonymous posters on this forum were the "NU braintrust!"

    Watching ESPN2 in France

    You can definitely do this. I've currently watched several bowl games and every TN game this season overseas using a VPN. The ironic/funny/sad thing is I have an actual e-mail from espn's customer service department recommending that I do such a thing. I digress... The other, more legal...

    Great stuff, folks. Thanks for the details. Exactly what I was looking for. During our practice today, apparently the sun caused our punt returners to drop 6 punts. So again, if I'm NU, I'm definitely challenging our ST unit! Particularly given the commentary on your punter "getting it done."
