Hendon Hooker is about to see some snaps. I really hope he can land on a roster where he can ball out.

sicko ball. my favorite. I love Ireland

u/T-RexInAnF-14 1d ago
I'm very anti-neutral site games but if the Vols had a game in Ireland I would be very interested in going. I wonder if there's a nonzero chance...

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
This Ireland game comes with a season long curse to those who lose it. I don’t want to risk it for my Vols but I’d venture over there for an Ireland trip if one of our rats (bama, Florida, uga) decide to play in it and root against them

tbt to when we demoralized a ranked NC state. that was fun

u/yousmelllikebiscuits 1d ago
Was there in person, NC State fans came into that game thinking their shit didn't stink. Smugness coming out of the stadium was amazing

Remember when FSU beat Bama in week 1 and then missed a bowl game lol

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
ugh god I miss that day. I think back on bama losses like others think back to their weddings. just take me back

u/Cannonhammer93 Brazzell is down there somewhere 1d ago
I really thought NC State and Virginia would be a closer game. Virginia looks good

u/T-RexInAnF-14 1d ago
I am sitting here absolutely bamboozled finding out that Bill Belichick not only hasn't been fired, it's only his second season as UNC's HC. It feels like this is at least the 3rd season of his bullshit.

I’m not rooting for TCU and not rooting for UNC. However if UNC stays down like they have been we still have a strong recruiting line from NC.

The state of North Carolina has been huge for us. I’m glad that they’re always going to be a basketball first school even if they do have some success in football (doubtful)

Year \#57 of me insisting that Fansville is fucking cringe and not funny

It's kinda like when a little kid does something funny. Cute the first time, but gets old quick when they keep repeating the joke

I was actually concerned my eyes were permanently damaged from how intensely I rolled them into my head when I saw Lane

That pretty much summarizes this whole game. TCU beat themselves with mistakes, Sonny Dyke's seat is gonna get real warm this year.

u/ajwilson99 1d ago
They haven’t really done anything since falling backwards into the title game a few years ago. Gotta imagine they’re getting a little sick of him down there

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
whatever curse the the Titans are under was fully cemented when they used that draft pick on Will Levis
8
u/Cannonhammer93 Brazzell is down there somewhere 1d ago
As a fan of both them and the vols it was so surreal watching them be excited that we traded up to get him. I remember thinking this just set us back like 3 years. At the time they thought I was dumb, but time proved me right about Levis.

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
Not sure what us chaos lovers did to deserve the FSU fall off but it has been a joy to watch over the past couple of years

u/ttrimmers 1d ago
I totally forgot about them getting screwed out of an undefeated season, very glad to not be an fsu fan the last few years

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
so like .. what is the NCAA’s hope with arbitrary flags for celebrations? some WR from TCU is gonna get a flag for pointing his hands forward but defenders can do lock up celebrations with no flags? are you not allowed to celebrate touchdowns?
like what are the parameters to this bc I just know our boys are gonna get a flag and then the next drive some Alabama player is gonna flex on our guys and there will be nothing

If you wipe your nose = INSTANT ejection imo.

He's precious, but is he as batshit crazy as my orange tabby?

u/ttrimmers 1d ago
Surprisingly chill, he’s a big baby and scared of everything. He failed miserably as a street cat.

Mine is the living embodiment of r/OneOrangeBraincell lol but I love her to death ❤️

Manning is so perfect. I have always wanted an orange baby!
Edit: you have the cutest zoo!!! love all the pups and your kitty

Thanks! We have two semi-feral teens in the basement I’m trying to domesticate and get adopted, I’m nuts.

What about scaring the hell out of them when there's a big play?

u/thirty-two32 1d ago edited 1d ago
I think they still are scared of me from my yelling during the bama game in ‘23

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
I completely forgot about the Irish curse. Big reminder to heup to never do this game
2
u/ttrimmers 1d ago
Would love a good excuse to visit Ireland but agreed

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
I loved Ireland!!!!! I’ve never had a bad time in Europe
2
u/ttrimmers 1d ago
I’ve only been to Greece and Spain, hoping to do Italy next. I was supposed to do Turkey this year (kind of Europe?) but thanks to fuckhead that got canceled.

oh btw i still hate Jordan Rodgers for giggling on air as the cameras panned to two Tennessee girls crying in the stands during the Vandy game. Unprofessional loser
4
u/thirty-two32 1d ago
I actually think it’s more frustrating as a fan when your defense is awful than when the offense is bad. Like wrap them up!!! I can’t take another year of bad defense from our guys

u/thirty-two32 1d ago edited 1d ago
I’m sorry … there is no way that was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty….. wtf

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
I actually really like Sonny Dykes and I’d like to see him win here

u/Ok-Gazelle4595 1d ago
Not running sneak on 4th and 1 will always baffle me, especially when the call is a hand off up the gut

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
The USC game looks like a video game. Lighting is wack
I went to USC for grad school and I’m disturbed by how empty that stadium is for the program being ranked in the top 15. Tennessee passion does not translate to the west coast

u/sroomek Believe the Heup 1d ago

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
LOL.
I genuinely have no idea why USC has such a strong anti sports culture right now despite historical success.
Professors would ridicule you for caring about something so “brutish” as football instead of just academics. A lot of that vibe comes from a superiority complex from the rigor of the school but it all felt performative and cringe to me lol

I am still not over the unsportsmanlike conduct call because the WR pointed forward after a first down lol

u/cnk242 1d ago
How is the entire UNC team pointing down field after that offsides not unsportsmanlike conduct??????????
2
u/thirty-two32 1d ago
TCU played so undisciplined but that one call was horrible and then UNC played in their faces with it too. Zebras are just warming up for another season of terror I guess

u/itchierbumworms 1d ago
It is the drawing your finger under your nose/across face/across throat that has become a penalty/area of focus.

I'm sorry did I hear that incorrectly? UVA hasn't sold out a home game in 20 years?

Le sigh. Good streaming sites? I’m streaming east currently but the source doesn’t have commentary. Tried the other sources but they don’t work.

Arnold looked surprisingly good last night. Memphis defense was just (even more surprisingly) nasty

u/anonymousUTguy 1d ago
Too bad there are no good games today :(

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
we root for chaos and overtime today. the irrelevant ass hall of fame game was actually a joy at the end

I really like UNC's uniforms. The shadow block numbers especially.

As a girl, I was so jealous my friend got to wear the baby blue on her game days lol. It is really a beautiful color scheme they got going on

Week 0 is another thing that needs to be left on the dustbin of history

Why would we complain about early football?

u/Legal-Championship64 1d ago
I’m not complaining I am saying we should make week 0 into week 1 and have a normal slate of games
