Well, we’re due for our first test of the season. Rocky Top will be checkered, loud, and roaring for an opportunity to bring the eight game win streak to an end.
Win today – ugly or otherwise – and you’re in the drivers seat for the SEC and in good position for the CFP. Lose, and you gotta lot of work to do.
This could be the game that tells us all we need to know about the 2025 team. I can recall after the Alabama debacle last year that it looked like we’d be hard pressed to beat Texas, Ole Miss…hell anyone at that point. The team rallied and won the SEC.
My inner Munson is saying that we aren’t the same team we’ve seen in the past seven years, my faith in Kirby says we cover today and learn that this team is more than screen passes and three yard runs up the middle.
We shall see. The pundits are taking Tennessee and are down on Georgia.
Deja vu. I feel like we’ve been here before.
Have at it in the comments.
EDIT by Otis: I want to thank JP for stepping in for me today. We spent 15 hours at the ER yesterday with my son, got in at 0500 this morning. Thankfully, he has nothing seriously wrong but, the whole day and night was a fiasco. If you’re the praying type, please keep us in your prayers.
Oh! And, Go Dawgs, kick the Hillbillies ass!
Prayers up for your son Otis. 🙏
The important thing is that your son is OK…puts everything else in perspective.. God Bless.
(And GO DAWGS!)
Second. Hang in there Little Otis.
I’ll pray for your family. As for the game, I have no idea what our offense is capable of. Hopefully more than we’ve seen. Go Dawgs!
Prayers for you, your son and the rest of your family, Otis.
So sorry to hear that, Otis. Glad you’re all home. 🙏🏼
Hope all is well for your family Otis.
Hayes King is a gamer folks.
I know we dont root for tech, but an orange team lost and I think we can all come together and be grateful for that.
Praying for your son Otis.
Welp doesn’t look like we expected that…
Prayers for your family buddy.
gurkhadawg , I need to sign in I guess
Dammit Bobo!
DAMMIT BOBO!
Thats it!!!
Run with power with the qb and chuck it over the top.
Beautiful!
The d will be fine.
Damn it, Bobo!
He brought the 152ct crayola!
What happened there, smart guy?
You want us to lose so you can be right, dont you? D as on dumbass. You people are pathetic. Go Dawgs!
You are the jackass that started the shit talking. I came on to give him credit for the first drive. Since you’re obviously about 7 based on your commenting, let me tell you about the history of Bobo. He many times comes out with a great first drive and then goes dormant. Be prepared!!
Doesn’t matter anyway. We look way outmatched all over the field at this point. The D is embarrassing. I hope Bobo lights the world on fire. Signed, D as in dumbass!
Go freaking Bobo!! Im trying a different approach. Im going to be optimistic!! Let’s go, D!!!
Come on Schumann!!
Damn ellis!!
The is the SEC!!
Which means “not for long” if you’re drinking bourbon!!
Good thing the D isn’t spending a lot of time on the field. Save some energy!
That was an excellent throw…
I miss Nico.
The other teams qb must go down and he must go down hard!
-Al Davis
Let’s go defense.
Heupel is schooling Kirby and Schumann right now…
The only pass where we’ve had a DB within 5 yds was the PI TD flub. WTF?
Tennessee’s offensive design is very good..I hate to acknowledge it..and their QB is excellent..so far. The fast pace and quick-out throws are hard to defend.
I think we’re in some trouble here.
That was a ticky tack pi
Finally we get a stop…and a PI to undo it.
Dammit Bobo!
Dammit Bobo.
Friendly reminder this isn’t Kirby or Glenn’s fault. It’s the players. It isn’t bobos fault either. At least that’s what I’m told.
Who told ellis to get beat and fall down?!!’
Fire bobo!!
Yep. I saw Bobo yell to him before the PI too and told him too hook his arm around the receiver’s waist. Both of those were totally on Bobo. Just ask the experts here.
That td was ALL bobo!
Good grief..#1 is struggling.
I really really miss Boom.
I said they would go after whoever plays opposite Everette. That’s exactly what they are doing.
Looks like we came in with our normal UT gameplan and Heupel decided to do something different…
What he’s doing different is he has a competent QB. And as much as I like Gunner, I’m not convinced he’s competent.
A little pulpwood action there.
Well damn
Long game…
I think Gunner may give up on the pocket a little too quickly at times.
And Kirby scared the crap out of me going for it on fourth down before we cross the 50…but I guess he figures Tennessee is going to march down the field with it even if we punted..so I guess it makes sense..and it worked
Dawgs are young.
Touchdown Zach Branch!
Wait, Bobo called a screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!! Can we give those points back? Please!!!!!
Schumann sucks! 🤣
Dammit Bobo! Stupid WR screen!
Lol. When it works it is beautiful
I was told WR screens don’t work.
You deserve that one EE
I’m actually okay with Bobo’s calls so far. But Kirby’s D? WTF?
Vols have a good offense, that’s what.
Gotta give the defense a rest. A long sustained drive that ends in six is needed. Time to ground and pound.
These Tennessee boys is playin hard…
A screen for a first down. No! Noooooooooo!
That was worried me.
Lack of courage….
Thinking about contact and not the marker.
FUCK!!!!
If Greene doesn’t absolutely get manhandled, that’s an easy 1st down for Gunner on that run.
Is Bryan Evans the DB coach?
Eeeeeeeeeeeek! They showed Bobo on camera!
Mike Bobo is doing a terrible job of stopping our offense at present.
Wife and I are at the London Dawgs bar in London/Waterloo tonight. A lot of DGDs who live here and are visiting.
Late over there! What’s the name of the bar?
Passyunk Avenue – it’s a Philly style sports bar
🙂
I guess everyone’s hero forgot we suck giant balls in short down situations. 21-17 at half would be a hugewin after that start. A lot of time left.
Mike Bobo just made the Aguilar, the perfect quarterback , throw a pick to end the half. Isnt that great?
Getting a little trollish, Cooley. I can criticize Bobo and you can wear Bobo underwear and we can both be fans. Chill
Man none of this bothers me. You are way more invested in hating him than I am in liking him. I really don’t care about him beyond just pushing back against the knee jerk bullshit hot takes about him.
I hate the state of CFB currently but these NCAA political commercials make me want to hurl.
That guy wants to return college football to where the NCAA can sell television rights to all college’s games as it did prior to the Oklahoma and Georgia v. NCAA Supreme Court case in 1984 or 1985
“Let’s let Congress fix it!”
said no football fan ever.
Underrated comment!
It’s time to start putting the ball at the spot of the foul. Why not just tackle the receivers here??
