    Not sure about the "motivator tactic" bit, but I did wonder what that meant. Did it mean that our offense just wasn't able to replicate what UT is doing so that our D had a really good go against defending it? Did it mean our D didn't do well defending our O's replication of UT's speed. Was it a combination of both? It sounded more like it was just a lack of energy. That's bad. My hope is that if that's the thing, it was a one-off. UT is not to be taken lightly. Especially not at home.

    Oh I’m sure in Kirby’s eyes the practice was a poor one as compared to others. I’m not calling him a liar by a long shot. I’m just saying the rant was meant to motivate the Dawgs as well.

    They Know he made his displeasure public. Plus you can bet he pushed them really, really hard today !! Now their peed off and will take that anger out on the Vols.

    Never discount Any team. But Mizzou absolutely Stomped the Vols. Crushed them. As I said a little of that can be accounted to playing the Tigers at home. But home field advantage only goes so far. Our Dawgs didn’t crush the Tigers, but they did get the W. So to me Neyland Stadium will help the Vols some, but not enough.

    If the Dawgs come to play they should beat the orange folks by At Least 17 points. I agree with you that the Dawgs need to be focused and all business though. Never take Any team for granted. But Kirby won’t let them take the Vols for granted. They’ll be ready.

    Oh one last thing the Dawgs are used to playing come from behind football. The Vols not so much. Dawgs have came from behind to win numerous times this year. The Vols only one time. When the Vols get down they tend to Stay down and lose.

    Those ultra tough practices the Dawgs endure every week have taught and conditioned them to face adversity and win. Now for me as a fan when we get behind in the first Qtr. as we have so many times. I’m pulling my hair out, chewing my fingers down to the bone, screaming, rolling around in my recliner, throwing my Dawgs cap, you name it Lol !! 😂

    But it’s kind of become their MO. It’s almost like their baiting the rival, I’m sure their not deliberately doing that, but it looks like it sometimes. Must drive rival teams insane when their thinking Alright Dawgs we gotcha, and then it turns into Alright Dawgs we had ya !! 😀 Go Dawgs !!
