For A&M, it's the 'Bama game.  We will have faced Clemson, Arkansas, and Auburn along with two Little Sisters teams.  I expect we have a small chance of beating Clemson and even odds beating Auburn.  I'll go out on a limb and say that we should beat Arkansas.  So A&M should be 4-1 and somewhere near the top ten assuming we can beat Auburn.  I'm not saying that we beat Bama, far from it, but after the Bama game we'll know all we need to know about this team and it's character.  Sure, later on we face UGa and LSU which will also be tough games but we'll know if we're a contender after 'Bama.  

I'm thinking 8 wins on the bottom side, and 10 on the top side.  Sure would be nice to beat any of Clemson, Bama, or LSU this year but not a deal breaker.

I would go with 7-5 for the Vols.  They could end up 8-5 and "on a roll" of sorts having edged Minnesota in the Underpants Bowl.


Check that guess.

From what I saw today they won't get out the valley much less over the hump.

Either we have a bunch of no talent people who can't coach or a bunch of no talent players who aren't coachable, maybe both.

The worst display of anything resembling football I've ever seen at Tennessee.

A lot of people are suggesting the team has already quit on Pruitt, but I'm wondering if it's just awful line play.  As a WR, are you going to run every route 100% if it's more than likely, based on your experience, that the OL is going to flub the play up?  Also, if you're a LB, and yet again, the ball-carrier has a freed up blocker in your way, are you confident in doing whatever it takes to make that tackle?


Poor line play can retard an entire team.  It doesn't mean the team has quit on the HC.  I don't know which is the case in Knox-Vegas, but it's an idea.

The apparent lack of enthusiasm was "apparent" on TV.  Apathy kills a team.  I'd be thinking about playing the youngsters and benching any senior not committed to playing hard no matter what.

How many 3 stars would Ga State have on the field?  Not many.  At all.  The talent gap SHOULD be sufficient to win that game ugly if needed.  It wasn't.

Mississippi State?

I'm taking my daughter and son-in-law ( who are both Mississippi State grads) and grandkids to the Ms State game.
Your comment regarding the Ms Game being the "hump game " of the season is interesting.
Glad we're going in seperate cars as the trip home could be a very long one for someone.

I still think this Saturday goes a long way towards Auburn's endgame. In effect, being in a huge, rowdy road conference test makes for another newbie game for Nix. How he handles it could make or break the year for Gus.

I expect aTm to be all over AU in the 1Q. If the Tigers can get into the half within 10 points, I like their chances late.

Doubtful to my mind that AU can impose the run game consistently on the Aggies so, they'll need WR Seth Williams to be back and in top form--or, flex out more formations to open up lanes.

With AU's poor punt coverage, ST might swing it at any time. 

Only thing I'm sure of is it'll be physical.
