Second Impressions

[CCTAU]

I did something I rarely do for anything other than Auburn games. I sat and watched the UT/GT game from start to finish.  It was either that or WWE Raw.  Turned out to be one heck of a finish going into 2 OTs. 

The Vols won but Tech was in total control for 86.48% of the game with their option attack.  Look for the Jackets to lose 7-8 games this year because while their QB looked darn skippy running the offense last night, he's also 5'10" 185 and he ran it, I believe 42 times.  He made the entire thing go and he's going to get crushed before mid-season.

Not real impressed with UT.  Breaking in a new QB and he didn't wow in any way shape or form.  When he did hit the receivers, they usually dropped it.  Had a couple of good, long pass plays though.  Tennessee finally figured out that they had a back that was better than everyone else on the field and started feeding it to him late.  That saved their a$$es.  I wouldn't think they'd be a contender for the East but then, the East is pretty crappy overall.

Got a couple of local boys (twins. the white ones) playing for tech. So I watched it. Looks like the QB is pretty goos. maybe even as good as Justin Thomas was. Except Thomas was over 200lbs. This kid looks like he will get broke in two or four pieces. But he had some moves last night. Ans he tosses the ball well also. I think they can throw it on a lot of teams and keep him healthy. Also, if he learns to pitch it a bit more, that should help.
Overall , it was an enjoyable game. I agree with Johnson going for two at the end. his QB looked like one more hit and he would be out....COLD!

Co Jones is all about clichés, cute sayings and dumbass rituals.  They carry a trash can around the sidelines all game.  Something about, "Clean everything up" or "Pick up the litter" or "Don't throw your paper cups on the ground" or something like that.  Just stupid, corny junior high crap.

[War Eagle!!!]

Watched the second half.

If Butch Jones coached my daughter's 12-under volleyball team I'd be embarrassed.  I can't imagine how Vols fans feel having that moron in charge of their football program.

I wanted them to lose.  They should have lost.

embarrassing? pfffffffttttttt

[Buzz Killington]

And the kid that picked up the last fumble got rim stuffed

Yes.

They had no business winning that game. And jones is a total db.

And I know he isn't popular on here and used to didn't be with me either but the more coaches I see like jones and fat bert, the more I like mark richt.

Qb played up the road at Harris county. Watched him a couple of times in hs and although he was good, I had no idea he would translate this well at a power 5 school. Snags is right - he won't make it through 5 more games if they use that same game plan.

embarrassing? pfffffffttttttt

CHAMPIONS OF LIFE....and trash cans aparently.

[WiregrassTiger]

embarrassing? pfffffffttttttt

This is just a glimpse of the UT co-op program, what's the big fuss? It's the only one they have. He's getting ready.

Week 2 out

25. Notre Dame (Entering week: Unranked)

24. TCU (Entering week: Unranked)

23. Washington State (projected win; in action vs. Montana State | Entering week: No. 24)
Story continues below

22. South Florida (Entering week: No. 19)

Following an up-and-down performance at San Jose State on opening weekend, the Bulls nearly fell to FCS Stony Brook at home this Saturday afternoon. Charlie Strong’s team won’t spend much more time in the Top 25 if it insists on scaring its fans every week.

21. Florida (Entering week: No. 17)

20. Tennessee (projected win; plays Monday night vs. Georgia Tech)

19. Kansas State (Entering week: No. 20)

18. West Virginia (Projected win; plays No. 21 Virginia Tech on Sunday | Entering week: No. 22)

17. Miami (Entering week: No. 18)

16. Louisville (Entering week: No. 16)

Defending Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson stuffed the stat sheet in a close win vs. Purdue. He finished with nearly 500 combined passing and rushing yards and appears well on his way to matching his video-game numbers of last season.

15. Georgia (Entering week: No. 15)

14. Stanford (Entering week: No. 14)

13. LSU (projected win; in action vs. BYU | Entering week: No. 13)

12. Auburn (Entering week: No. 12)

Much-hyped QB Jarrett Stidham looked a little rusty in a 41-7 win over Georgia Southern. Granted, Stidham had not played in nearly 2 years, but he didn’t get much help from his wideouts en route to earning mixed reviews. The Tigers travel to Clemson next weekend.

11. Oklahoma State (Entering week: No. 10)

10. Wisconsin (Entering week: No. 9)

9. Washington (Entering week: No. 8)

8. Michigan (Entering week: No. 11)

Big winners vs. No. 17 Florida in Arlington, the Wolverines held the Gators to 3 offensive points. Jim Harbaugh still needs to maneuver through a deadly Big Ten East, but Saturday was a great start to his third season in Ann Arbor.

7. Oklahoma (Entering week: No. 7)

6. USC (Entering week: No. 4)

The Trojans received a major scare from a P.J. Fleck-less Western Michigan at the Coliseum. A pair of late touchdowns rescued the team’s national championship aspirations and kept QB Sam Darnold in the thick of the Heisman race.

5. Florida State (Entering week: No. 3)

4. Penn State (Entering week: No. 6)

3. Clemson (Entering week: No. 5)

2. Ohio State (Entering week: No. 2)

1. Alabama (Entering week: No. 1)

Penn State too high. 

FSU didn't fall far enough. 

Tennessee too high

[GH2001]

Florida. 

[Snaggletiger]

So Florida State looks pathetic against Bama and loses their QB for the season.  But they only drop 2 spots.  Okay, got it.  Florida got manhandled by a team that graduated just about everybody.  They also have major QB issues and could only muster a field goal offensively.  But they only drop a few spots.  Okay, got it.

Oh and BTW, Auburn wins 41-7 and holds their opponent to negative eleventeen yards.  But we dropped one spot in the AP and Corch's poll.  Okay, got it.

I would be happy to drop to 15th with a win Saturday.

Doesn't matter....just gotta win.  And we only dropped a spot in AP

Like Al Davis said, just win baby win

[WiregrassTiger]

He did not say win twice.

I knew Al Davis. You're no Al Davis.

And also - USC and their golden boy darnold looked like warm cat vomit deep into the 4th against juggernaut western meatchicken.

Florida should have lost 48-3. 2 stupid pick 6s gifted to them by meatchicken prevented that.

So.

Sumlin's wife faked racist hate mail.  Clear and obvious to me that it's a fraud.

Will there be consequences or will the SJWs trigger so hard that Sumlin can never be fired.

Is Clay Travis on this yet? If anyone is gonna expose "fake racism" it's apparently him or his lot in life to take up that cause.

Yeah, I certainly don't condone the racial name calling in the letter. But, is it really a surprise to her? Certainly isn't that to me. A coach blows a lead like that and he'll be called many racial and ethnic slurs, depending on his or her ethnicity. It comes with the territory, even in 2017.
