"9. Can Tennessee keep Alabama from scoring on special teams? The UT staff has to be having legitimate talks right now about kicking the ball straight up into the air to be fielded by the upbacks at the 35 and punting the ball out-of-bounds on every punt. Why? Two weeks ago Georgia scored on a touchdown on a kickoff return. The same thing happened against Ohio a month ago. Meanwhile Auburn gouged the Vols all night with big returns. Adding it all up, wait for this, Tennessee is 118 out of 120 teams in kickoff coverage. Stop laughing Alabama fans, you're 102. And you've also had two kickoffs returned for touchdowns against you. I have a proposition, could both teams just reach a gentleman's agreement to start each drive on the 30? 10. What of the bye week? Alabama is coming off consecutive big games, a road contest at Ole Miss that had been hyped for months and a Homecoming tilt against South Carolina. Tennessee, on the other hand, has been resting up and preparing for Alabama. If Tennessee's coaching staff is as good as advertised, that means there should be some wrinkles that Alabama won't be expecting. So this week represents another great laboratory to analyze Tennessee's first-year staff. As if that weren't enough, has anyone else noticed how quiet Lane Kiffin has been this week? It's the antithesis of how he prepared for Florida. As if that weren't enough, compared to the verbal grenades that Kiffin has lobbed at Florida, he's been very quiet about the Crimson Tide. By design or not, I think we've set up the potential for a stealth attack. 11. Whither the beard? Come Saturday by 7 CT, I may very well be intentionally clean-shaven for the first time since 2002. But I don't think I will. This game is going to be epic, and it's going to be tight until the fourth quarter. I can't wait to see it in person. But regardless, come Saturday, only one thing is certain -- every Alabama fan thinks they're going to win 50-0."

10/24/2009 6:57:56 PM

Kicker can't make it if 3 guys get in to touch the ball. Good lord, two blocks today

10/24/2009 6:58:45 PM

I don't think many college kickers would have gotten that over the line and still had enough leg to make it 44 yards

10/24/2009 6:59:08 PM

You can't blame the kicker.

Offensive line blew it.

10/24/2009 7:00:31 PM

Damn. Make one of those three field goals.

10/24/2009 7:01:26 PM

Cant stop Mount Cody!

10/24/2009 7:01:36 PM

Chargers need that Cody guy.

He'll probably be gone by their pick though.

10/24/2009 7:05:37 PM

Well, UT out played the #1 team in the country on their home turf.

I think we can finally put to rest this "Lane Kiffin is a clown" shit. The talent differential between Bama and UT is monterous. The offensive line for UT has two walk on guys (one weighs 280 and the other 260) and a right tackle (280) that converted from TE in the middle of spring practice. Those guys held their own against the #1 D in the country and if it wasn't for that fucking mutant Cody, UT wins that game.

It sucks ass that UT lost but I'm really proud of the backbone the Vols showed today. Better days are coming... soon.

Go Vols!

10/24/2009 7:39:58 PM

Inches...fannies.

10/24/2009 8:33:28 PM

I bet Alabama uses non-qualifiers

10/24/2009 8:35:55 PM

10/24/2009 9:54:14 PM

I love the way the program is going, great coaching, great recruiting and getting the most out of some shitty players... but just not enough. Yet.

#1 kicker in the country is coming next year

" KJ says: October 25, 2009 at 9:46 am No one hates UT as much as me. No one has a longer history of disrespecting them than me. Having said that, Bama was lucky to win. Unbelievably, we were out-coached! I never thought Lane had it in him, but that was a fine job by him and his staff. I still can’t stand him, but I do take him seriously now. I’ll even go this far: let him complain after the game, he was sick about losing it…and any one of us with a pulse would have been too. It would be hard not to be a little bitter at losing that way, so I’ll give him a pass for any complaining he wanted to do. As a Bama fan, I can tell you that when we blocked the kick, it was simply relief I was feeling, nothing else. UT pushed us further than we wanted, and gave us more than we wanted and they played well enough to beat us for most of the game. We were lucky to win, and I rarely say that."

yeah, the "Kiffin is a clown" shit is official over with now... him and his staff have coached their asses off against our three biggest rivals all of which have a lot more talent, and 2 of them were on the road, and those 2 were #1 in the country. Combined scores against the big three: 68-54... now, if we could just play Georgia three times

Rumors going around about the Halloween game with South Carolina.

-Black unis
-Blackout by fans (yawn)
-Blackout by fans with the Athletic Dept. handing out orange glowsticks to 100,000 people (could be pretty damn cool, hope they have some good DJs lined up, I got my X and Vicks vapo ready)

10/26/2009 3:46:45 PM

I've heard the same rumors out here in Knoxville. I don't know how it will turn out. Black just looks weird for the Vols.
