Less than two hours til gametime. This is freaking awesome build up for the biggest game Tennessee's had since 04, I'm just hoping we at least put up a fight.

 

The Les Miles controversy seeping over to today will either really help us (LSU players will be distracted) or really hurt us (LSU players will be fired up to play for their coach). Hopefully the former, but I don't see how it has no effect.

Mushburger is doing the Mizzou/OU game....sorry guys.

 

with Herbstreit?

 

I don't know Derwood. I just heard Mush's voice in a commercial. I'm sure the Big 12 guys will listen to their school announcers instead.

VTech just blocked an extra point and ran it back for 2.

 

It's a 3 point swing, Cotton.

 

Terrible throw by Va Tech.

 

Just a bunch of Big East flunkies.

 

I do think it's funny, and I'm sure you're loving it, that the Big East is a better football conference than the ACC.

Imagine if those 3 teams stayed? I don't mind losing the 2 non academic schools but losing BC really bugs me.

31-23 Central Florida over Tulsa...at the half, wow.

 

Neither team has even attempted to play a lick of defense in that game. It's fun to watch, but there really is no defense.

 

 

Honestly it almost isn't fun to watch because of the defenses being so lame.

 

Yeah, I love defensive struggles, but have no problem watching 100-plus points combined either. Variety is always a good thing. :D

 

As do I but I don't know of many defensive struggle there have been in the NCAA's this year. That Colorado/Nebraska game was just plain goofy.

 

Pretty much every Nebraska game this year has been goofy. I also can't think of any other defensive struggles we've had this season. Offenses are extremely strong this year and that spread option so many teams like to run is certainly aiding the number of shootouts.

Central Michigan pastes Miami (OH) and Ball State will play Rutgers in the International Bowl! :D

 

I'll start a bowl thread tomorrow - all the bids should be finalized by then.

I assume you mean academic with regards to their athletics programs? Cause as far as I knew Miami and VA Tech were damn good schools.

Paul Maguire's actually been tolerable in this game. So of course Nessler says without a hint of joking in his voice that it'd be funny if VA Tech threw to the corner of the end zone where Paul was and hit him.

 

Oh, and look a team plays a cushion defense in the 2 minute drill and gets picked apart. Shocking.

An hour and a half til gametime. Gah, time is absolutely crawling right now. I may be a nervous wreck by 4.

 

Final prediction: Tennessee by 3. Everybody's been saying we don't have the first shot to beat LSU and that's usually when Phil Fulmer-coached teams play their best. I also was swayed by Flynn not starting and Perilloux filling in. Perilloux is the better natural QB, but Flynn's dang good and has the experience that helps in games like this.

Gosh I hate the prevent defense. It might be the most worthless strategy in football. I can't think of anything a team does that's less effective than prevent.

How far away were those guys? They looked pretty bad from what I think was only 10 yards out.

 

The honchos that sponsor these contest always sound so awful when talking to the guys who do these contests. These things suck.

Interesting Cuse. The 31-23 UCF/Tulsa game we were discussing earlier is now early in the fourth quarter and the score is now 37-25 Golden Knights.

 

6-2 so far in the second half, there's a defensive struggle for us. :D

We're under an hour til game time now. This is really starting to get to me. I'm listening to the pre-game stuff on the radio and only getting myself more excited. The nice thing is, it sounds like the worst case scenario is now the Outback Bowl - not a bad consolation prize.

 

I want to see the Vols in the Sugar Bowl, though. Haven't seen that in a while.

Whoo hoo! Defense takes over and even scores a 2 pointer!
