Hahahaha no he's right....lot of crazy, delusional red necks. We love our football though and are pretty desperate to be relevant again.

Tarell Basham was asked during the Solich radio show last night what he thought of Tennessee's offense ~ "Their offense is...stoppable...I'm going to say that, their offense is definitely stoppable." I'm glad they are ready and up for the challenge.

Will the 110 be making the trip as they did during OHIO's last trip to Knoxville? Earning a standing O by many Volunteer Fans for the 110 half time show! That was one wet weekend where OUr Bobcats gave Lane Kiffin all he and his team could handle.

Will Patty Page be brought out again to join Tennessee's Marching Band to serenade you attendees with a little, "How much is that Doggie in the Winder"?
Hey, let's be a little eclectic. I like the 110 and it's style, but I can also appreciate bands with other styles. And, who can not like the Singing Rage, Mrs. Patti Page?
They've at least moved out of the '50s and into the '80s with Dolly Parton: http://dollyparton.com/life-and-career/ut-vols-marching-b...

And apparently they've gotten rid of the kaleidoscope patterns and the concentric circles that were a time-worn mainstay of SEC bands until a couple years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqjdatKg0xA

Who are the three players he said "might play" on Saturday. I assume that the question, which I couldn't hear, was about the injured players. Therefore, I'm guessing that he was saying that A.J., Irons and Reid were all possible for Tennessee. Did anyone else read it differently?

The specific question asked about three players nicked up against Kansas, Maleek Irons, Mayne Williams, and Corey Quallen.

Solich said last night that Sebastian Smith might be ready this weekend also. He said that Smith was back to practicing yesterday.

I tip my hat to the history of the Tennessee program. It's been a great program for a long time.

In the 40s and 50s, Gen. Neyland was one of the finest coaches ever. The greatest college coach of all time, Bear Bryant, basically couldn't beat Neyland.

The late 60s and early 70s was a classic time with some of the best defensive players in the country, especially at linebacker. I recall a great Orange Bowl in 1968 between Oklahoma and UT. Karl Kremser, one of the first soccer style kickers, missed FG on the last play of the game and the Sooners held on for a 26-24 win. I remember some great battles during the late 60s and early 70s with Joe Paterno and Penn State. I remember Condredge Holloway, the first African American starting QB in the SEC who went on to a great career in the CFL and eventually returned to be an Assoc. AD. Some titanic struggles with Alabama during these years. Good coaches like Doug Dickey and Bill Battle. I remember the great wide receiver Richmond Flowers, whose father was the atty general of Alabama...Flowers decided to attend UT in part because his father took flack for some sympathy to the civil rights movement.

Under Dickey and Battle, UT recruited the state of Ohio. Players like Paul Naumoff and the famous Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds.

No predict the score thread here - and maybe good or not sensible since we are 28 pt underdog on most spread sites. Vols fan sites have hundreds of pick the score posts - with the average prolly beating the 28 point spread. I predict we will beat the 28 pt spread - it will be less than 28 point loss - or it will be a pick'em squeaker.....

Likely means nothing, but, last season's opener for Tenn went 59-30 over Bowling Green. Coach Jones, I think, takes games vs the MAC personally.

Oh Jeff, your post takes me back to my high school days being the QB that handed the ball to Hacksaw who played FB and MLB. A little trivia, the HB on the team was Bobcat Mike Schott who played safety during the OHIO Championship year! Last I heard, hacksaw retired down in the Bahamas. A few years back, Mike died of brain cancer. A shame, he was a great guy.

*sigh* we were doing so good. it took a long time but we have finally all but eliminated the use of "Ohio U" when discussing our fine university. Then some guy named Butch comes along and uses it repeatedly. Thanks Butch.

Butch 2-0 against Frank at CMU. Once was 2008 game in Peden which I believe was pretty famous for a fumble near the goal line? The other the MAC title game in 2009.

Their QB has small hands. We need to look for opportunities to strip him

"Now, Butch Jones, there's a haircut you can set your watch to!"

Also, in an alternate universe — a more just universe — I'm pretty sure Butch Jones teaches physical education to junior high students. Always wears those swishy 1990s warm-up pants. Smells like Old Spice. Gets to the school's weight room to lift at 5 a.m. Chews gum constantly. Has 12 year olds run laps to start class while "Jock Jams" plays. Has students take written tests about archery. Gives up midway through the year and makes every class kickball. Or triangle kickball. Or baserunning relay kickball. Or Alaskan Kickball. Or Triple Kickball.

The obvious reading is that Allen wants to see their QB neked. As in "what's a Vol where under his kilt"

Getting this thing back on track, weather forecast has changed dramatically. 92 with a 10% chance of rain. I'm trading my poncho for sunscreen. It's going to be a hot one.

Glad your band is making the trip again. Very rarely do two top college bands march in a single halftime (the Pride is back to where it should be now). Here's to an injury-free game too!
