Oklahoma better be taking Tennessee serious. They looked good yesterday.

Frankly.....I was stunned how well the defense played. Stunned; can't say that strongly enough.

Offensively, if the line plays decent, our TE/WR are top tier. We've got a freshman RB, Jalen Hurd - did nothing yesterday - but is 6'3" and 235, and runs a 4.5.

But again, going up to Norman is not what we need to be doing right now. Maybe next year it could be a good game.

Don't know but my guess is it's a home and home series. When does OU come to Knoxville?

Next year.

Now, that I hope, will be a good contest.

TN will play hard and aggressive in a few weeks. I just don't think we're in that upper spear of opponents yet.

Butch Jones has done a fantastic job to date on the hill. Got the students, and older alums involved. Got the former players - who had all but abandoned the school with fucking Dockery there - on board, and he's had two straight terrific recruiting classes; working pretty good on a 3rd.

And we both know, the players sure make the coaches look good.

I'd like to see an OU vs. Aggie home and home scheduled.

I doubt that game ever happens. Well in the foreseeable future that is.

It's more likely than a UT - Aggie game. The longhorns still seem to think the Aggies screwed everything up when they were making the best move possible ( for themselves not the conference).

I like Texas. But that said, it's totally on the Longhorns for what happened to the old SWC and the move outta conference by TX A&M and MO IMO.

The Longhorns don't want to get killed by A&M. That game won't happen unless the Horns take a step up or the Aggies a step down.

You can get in a bowl game winning 7 games now. It's not a special accomplishment any longer.

UNT won a bowl game this year.

UNT did go 8-4 in the regular season and even though it's not a big accomplishment to go bowling these days it's still a pretty good and helpful tool for recruiting.

Agreed..... From what I heard the Texas AD was an arrogant prick in conference meetings. He would say stuff like " we are texas and this is how it's going to be" during negotiations. I don't blame half the conference for wanting to go elsewhere.

Maryland won its first game. At least the terps have balls. Teams like UT play teams like UNT. At least Maryland doesn't play powderpuffs for the confidence boost. We slaughtered James Madison.

It appears Texas had the Longhorn Network kind of attitude long before there was a LHN.

Oregon looks like a bunch of neon bananas...those uniforms are idiotic...

Oregon like always will be a team that hangs around and loses late and lets their annoying ass fan base down.

That Stanford/USC game was good. I don't find myself hating USC under coach Sark.

I have a good friend that is a USC alum...never have liked USC much, sick of their hype more than anything, but I tolerate their arrogance because of my buddy...
