He should have ran on that last play. Looked like he had the whole middle open.

Eh, good game. It will be a smh moment when UT doesn't take any poll or national hit after this... Any other conference patch on their jersey and they would fall in the polls or have it hang over them.

Disagree. It's not just the SEC, it's whoever gets preseason hype (usually the SEC). See Baylor and TCU.

App St. is very under rated. Gotta give it up to the vols for fighting tooth and nail in this gritty hard fought victory.

I should've posted here first. I really wanted that W for App St. I can't think of a game recently that I wanted a team to win, where I don't really give two shits about the outcome going in. I wanted to see Butch's face and his epic speech after losing to App St. They looked like hot fucking garbage. The only way you win those games, by playing that bad, is by scheduling those types of teams.

Tell that to Auburn last year. Dropped from 6 to 18 after barely escaping Jacksonville State, with their Heisman contender at QB and all.

One can only hope. We'll see how the pollsters react to their showing [how bad they are].

Butch Jones is a crappy coach and UT is once again overrated based on wining their last 6 games last year.

ROCKY TOP!!!

Looking forward to hearing the UT apologists that masquerade as ND fans convince me that UT is still a buy for this season.

Remove all italics. Can't wait to hear to UT fans on this board tell me how this is the year.

I am still trying to figure out why Butch Jones felt the need to address the App St team at the end of the game. If I was one of the players I would have hit him in he head with my helmet.

They're D-1 now, not a little D-2 school just trying to hang in there. Granted this is only the second year, I believe, it still doesn't make sense.

I would have felt as a player and coach that Jones was in essence giving off the impression that App St was a lesser team and "good job guys y'all really put up a fight".

I probably should have only italicized "looking forward to" because I don't really want to hear all the positive talk about Tennessee on our board anymore...

Agreed. They went 11-2 last year and won a bowl game.

And as I say that, Furman picks it. Still, 5% chance of an upset at this point.
