A community of reasonable fanatics.
Okay, so I’m fairly confident we’re going to come out pretty close to nine wins this week, making that the baseline expectation going forward. That means we expect this to be our best season in at least 15 years; the Top 10 ranking follows suit. The real fun this week […]
The big things rarely come easily. Tennessee had more reason for optimism against the Gators than ever, but Florida, to their credit, was ready. But play-for-play, over the course of 60 minutes – including a tense final few – we saw so much of not what the Vols could be, […]
The AccuWeather app says it best: It’s great that is indeed on the table this weekend. If you’re looking for the comparison in the “biggest game since” category, I don’t think there’s a good one available. We forget part of this, but six years ago #1 Alabama came to town […]
The GRT Podcast is, like the Tennessee Football team, back in the saddle. In this episode, cocooned in newness, we talk about the Vols being 10.5-point favorites over a Florida Gators team we’ve beaten only once in nearly two decades and why we think The Weirdness will not be making […]
The journey from our community so far: 8.03 expected regular season wins in the preseason 7.93 after Ball State 8.54 after Pitt How are we feeling as the Gators come calling?
Checker Neyland, College Gameday, and our second-highest ranking of the last 15 years. Might as well lean all the way in. There is no other way to do it against these guys, and we’ll do it this time as a 10-point favorite. As you can see: It’s the biggest favorite […]
Thanks to all who submitted an entry in our Expected Win Total Machine this week – if you’re new to our site, we run it each Monday during the season. This week, our community projects the Vols to win 8.54 regular season games. That’s up from 8.03 in the preseason […]
One of the benefits of being a Top 15 team: pointing out weaknesses in victory! How have your conversations about the Pitt game started the last couple of days? Something like, “Great win…we’ve got some work to do!”? Me too! Josh Heupel’s Monday press conference began that way as well. […]
The Vols are 2-0, Josh Heupel has his second ranked win, and we’re off and running in the Top 15. Here’s our Expected Win Total Machine for this week. Will the community total climb to 8.5 or higher? That’s up to you! The Vols are #15 in the AP Poll […]
Including whew, but also, woo! We did, “Oh no, are we bad again?”. Tennessee’s first three drives went three-and-out, three-and-out, and turnover on downs. Pitt led 10-0 and had 1st-and-10 at the Tennessee 21. That possession ended with Trevon Flowers’ end zone interception, the first of a bananas number of […]
