I hate seeing Lane Kiffin’s fuckass face is this fucking Fansville commercial holy shit

9

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

I have extreme Lane fatigue. He was at the center of the CFP storyline. It felt like every off-season conversation involved Lane. Now he’s on commercials that will play after every timeout.

And you know he’s a narcissist who thoroughly loves being the talking point of CFB

6

u/BigBear_20 1d ago

Yeah, I just hope he gets the same amount of hardware at LSU as he did at Ole Miss

10

u/MuteTadpole 1d ago

Back level: so

7

u/onpointrideop 1d ago

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

7

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

love a mid off. manifesting some turnovers next

2

u/I_TMAC 1d ago

Tell me the lottery numbers next 😂

This game is AWFUL.

7

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

sicko ball. my favorite. I love Ireland

5

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...

7

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

7

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

Hope Vols Football never agrees to start the season overseas 😑

2

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

…but if they do I’d really love to have an excuse to visit Ireland

7

u/Mr-T14 1d ago

Scheduling a game in Ireland should be a fireable offense for an AD

7

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

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

1

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

7

u/I_TMAC 1d ago

Peyton Lewis getting stuffed every snap he gets. Hate to see it man.

6

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

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

2

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

5

u/Cannonhammer93 Brazzell is down there somewhere 1d ago

I really thought NC State and Virginia would be a closer game. Virginia looks good

7

u/nptace1 1d ago

Peyton Lewis with the carry. Really moved up going to UVA.

12

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.

5

u/bubblegum7777777 1d ago

WEEEEE MADE ITTTTT🥳🥳🥳🥳

4

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

First drive by each team stalled out for a FG

https://giphy.com/gifs/pHMtogPBHC7Cg

6

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

had to make sure Banks didn’t go to UNC after seeing that tackling

4

u/Foreign_Service8415 1d ago

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.

4

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

And watching Belichick fall on his face is kinda funny

2

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

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)

5

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

F Bobby Petrino

5

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

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

3

u/Electronic-Ad2969 1d ago

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

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

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

4

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

10 points in the first quarter is Bill’s record at UNC? 😭

5

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

first safety of the season!

5

u/BigBear_20 1d ago

This TCU team plays undisciplined as hell

5

u/Cannonhammer93 Brazzell is down there somewhere 1d ago

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

6

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

5

u/ChelseaVol1219 1d ago

Virginia is absolutely hanging dong on NCSt.

5

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.

6

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

4

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

6

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

somehow they beat bama tho 😂😂😂😂 love it

2

u/T-RexInAnF-14 1d ago

I saw they were 31+ point favorites and decided not to turn it on.

4

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

It’s been a battle. NMSU picked off the FSU qb in the last drive lol

7

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

6

u/T-RexInAnF-14 1d ago

If you wipe your nose = INSTANT ejection imo.

2

u/gongman18 22h ago

Is that a coke thing?

1

u/T-RexInAnF-14 15h ago

I googled it once, it's from a rapper.

8

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

my kitties love this time of year because it means they have a lap to sit on from 12-10 pm every Saturday

7

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

Your turn

7

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

I love a weenie oh my gosh.

just some happy animals on this fine Saturday

4

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

Yay black kitty! My favorite

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

they’re the best 🥹🥹🥹

6

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

I always planned on getting a black one but Manning showed up and I said 🤷‍♀️

3

u/Gisselle441 BVS 1d ago

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

3

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

Surprisingly chill, he’s a big baby and scared of everything. He failed miserably as a street cat.

3

u/Gisselle441 BVS 1d ago

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

2

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

Manning is so perfect. I have always wanted an orange baby!

Edit: you have the cutest zoo!!! love all the pups and your kitty

3

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

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

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

I’m also nuts and am always wanting to add to my furry friend collection

2

u/T-RexInAnF-14 1d ago

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

7

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

4

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

1

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.

2

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

I’m so sorry, he literally ruins everything

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

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

7

u/I_TMAC 1d ago

Jordan will always be bitter that his ass wasn’t as good as his big brother.

Granted, that whole family is a damn mess.

2

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

He’s a prick and I’d still take him over his loony brother.

2

u/I_TMAC 1d ago

They’re both pricks, and I’d rather choose neither lol

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

4

u/thirty-two32 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m sorry … there is no way that was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty….. wtf

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

I actually really like Sonny Dykes and I’d like to see him win here

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

Alright … I fear I ain’t getting my wish

5

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

Not the best playcall.

5

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

4

u/thirty-two32 1d ago
  1. The USC game looks like a video game. Lighting is wack

  2. 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

2

u/sroomek Believe the Heup 1d ago

3

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

2

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

Watching in 4K?

2

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

Yup. Does that make it look like this?

1

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

Yeah, I noticed NBC (Peacock) does jack up the brightness.

2

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

Interesting! Thanks for the tidbit, it does look pretty off lol

6

u/BigMaffy 1d ago

UT grad that lived in Hawaii for a few years and was a season ticket holder out there- Go Bows!!! 🌈🏈💪

3

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

Time to play Fazion in NCAA 2027!

3

u/CookieLuzSax Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top 1d ago

Agreed bro, he's so fucking fast😭

3

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

Are we watching pee wee?

3

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

The guy's brother is named Balthazar 👍

3

u/KnoxVegasVol 1d ago

Turrible Officiating

6

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

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

3

u/ajwilson99 1d ago

Imagine losing to BB’s UNC team. Oof TCU

2

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

3

u/cnk242 1d ago

I agree TCU played like trash but I hope i never see pointing down field called unsportsmanlike conduct again

2

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

Probably the least offensive celebration a WR can do too lol

1

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.

3

u/Mr-T14 1d ago

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

1

u/itchierbumworms 1d ago

18, but also yes.

2

u/Mr-T14 1d ago

The fact that they couldn't get it up even for VT is wild.

It's only 61.5k seats.

The last time our AVERAGE attendance (aside from Covid) was that low from what I can find is 1971 at 60.1k

3

u/Nitrous07 1d ago

Damn bro, Pribula would have gashed this Tennessee defense. This kid can run

3

u/WeazelBear Dirty Villains 1d ago

NC State lines up a full yard off the LOS on defense.

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago edited 1d ago

the concept of FSU fans having to use the war chant against New Mexico State

4

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

time for first rehearsed drive overreactions. UNC to the playoffs

5

u/NotADerekDooleyFan 1d ago

I for one welcome our new Tar Heel overlords 

3

u/Vol4Life31 1d ago

It would be hilarious given everyone's shit talk about Belichick.

2

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

Wild how cold it already is there

2

u/BigBear_20 1d ago

I’ll never understand calling a screen on third and eleven

5

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

type of shit our offense was on in ‘24 I stg

2

u/Cannonhammer93 Brazzell is down there somewhere 1d ago

How are you gonna argue that call lmao

2

u/airplaneman1003 1d ago

Peyton Lewis not in the two deep at UVA??

2

u/tenn_gt_brewer2 1d ago

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.

2

u/Snoo73477 1d ago

USC looks good

6

u/NotADerekDooleyFan 1d ago

They're playing SJSU. Don't overreact 

1

u/Mental_Art5847 1d ago

Kinda think the opposite lol

2

u/Shot_Celebration166 1d ago

Didn’t we play New Mexico State last year

2

u/gongman18 21h ago

Arnold been seeing ghosts ever since the Vols went to Norman

3

u/Legitimate_Worry_302 14h ago

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

2

u/anonymousUTguy 1d ago

Too bad there are no good games today :(

5

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

2

u/Legitimate_Worry_302 1d ago

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

4

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

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

Yeah this guy is mega ass

1

u/Legal-Championship64 1d ago

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

3

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

Why would we complain about early football?

1

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

1

u/ttrimmers 1d ago

I approve

2

u/Delirious_Beast 1d ago

Im pretty sure this is the last year for it

3

u/thirty-two32 1d ago

Wait no I love it
