Everything is about Tennessee. What happened last week? Are they a contender? Are they overrated? Will they beat VT? etc. etc.
I have the ESPN CFB show on right now and it is all UT so far. They even had a video showing Neyland Stadium and Bristol with UT highlights. It was like an ESPN pump up video for the school.
Personally, I love it. I just have a feeling that we're sitting back loving the underdog role.

You must have loved the past 5 years then.
That's harsh...
You wanna know why I'm like this?
Seems like a good thing to not have all the focus on us.
Looking forward to the game.
Winning will change the perception of VT football.
until we lose to ECU....oh wait, is this not 2014?
I think you meant isn't it 2015... Wait... Ugh.
Personally, I don't understand the whole underdog thing. I want my Hokies to be DOMINANT and have everyone know it.
well, if everyone expects you to win, you tend to play like UT did against App State: lackluster and crappy. Now a lot of credit goes to App State for game plan and execution, but I still believe UT is a better team than we saw last week. Of course, if we mop the floor with UT, it won't be because they didn't come to play, it will be because we are the far superior team. Cause this is the internet and I'm allowed to do things like that.
Unless your Alabama.....
Sure, but that isn't happening for a little while.
My boss just said "I hope TN beats VT's ass". My response was "that won't happen."
WE MUST WIN THIS GAME!!!!
Fuck that guy.
It's a she...and she's a bitch so what can I say. She only said that b/c
her son likes UT.
Fine, screw that b*tch!
Never understood that. That's like me saying I like the Wiggles just because my nephew likes them. Either way, screw her. Go Hokies.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Sounds like she needs a man, riding her son's nuts doesn't seem to be blowing off enough steam.
Double Fuck that guy!!
That seals it now we are good, last time my I had a Boss that said something similar, it was VT vs Indiana (Independence Bowl) - We dominated and kicked their butts 45 to 20 with Defensive and Special Teams TDs. I never let my Boss here the end of it, I rubbed it in every chance I could get.
I hope AMB4VT let's her boss have it after we win.
They're not even asking that. It's more like "Will Tennessee look dominant enough to win the SEC after they beat VT."
Earlier Finebaum said something about us not being nearly as tough as upcoming games against Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M, and Alabama. Bama I get, obviously. But the other 3 aren't in a different league than us (figuratively speaking).
OT, Tennessee fans commenting on an article I read were wondering how long they would keep it vanilla against VT in preparation for Florida.
Last week was nothing but looking ahead, nothing to do with TNs ability level or level of preparedness.
I hope they are looking ahead.
Yes please show the vanilla game plan. Bud will stuff that shit all night long.
I'm a bit bothered by it. I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning and both of them referred to the Battle At Bristol as "Tennessee vs West Virginia."
It feels like 150,000 fans will show up to see if Tennessee is for real or not. I'm not a fan of seeing VT get treated as the side note.
Yep. That was already covered.
I started yelling in the car when I heard that! Worse yet Mike and Mike picked Tennessee to win, despite not knowing the line or apparently the opponent.
What a joke. Screw northwestern, notre dame and the jets.
And fuck Matt Ryan.
I don't think I've heard anyone from ESPN comment about the Hokies going to Ohio State as underdogs and winning by two touchdowns. That Ohio State team was much better than the UT team VT plays tomorrow. I believe the Hokies get the job done and end up with a W.
It really is overwhelming how much attention Tennessee has received, especially today...its honestly pissing me off how one sided this is. I don't even know if I want to watch College Gameday tomorrow at the rate this is going. I don't see how our guys won't have enormous chips on their shoulders tomorrow night. Perfect opportunity to demand respect...
This should all be insane team motivation. We need.to kick their MF ass.
Key conan barbarian gif.
Bury their MF volunteer a$$!
I just hope I can get close enough to Kirk Herbstriet that he can read my lips as I mouth the words "you're a FUCKING TOOL".
Nobody at work is expecting VT to win.
At least I could get them to agree that VT would fare better than UVA.
Tech will win. It just has that feeling to it. Hard to explain but felt same at OSU in '14. 10 point win mark it down
Here's the deal....I might lose a little sleep if we don't win or I might stay up all night partying if we do.
Though the love affair between the SEC and ESPN runs deep....a homewrecker is lurking.
I don't agree that I like when we're the underdog, I'd much rather be the more dominant famous side, but yeah the Tennessee coverage has been insane the past few days.
Well SVP didn't even mention Tech in the part of the show covering the game tomorrow. They were nice enough to put our logo on the screen...
The only way we'll get attention is if we win and win...We shouldn't expect anything more because we're a different breed than Tennesse. We work hard while Tennessee just rides the SEC wagon.
Tennessee/ESPN : our arrows will blot out the sun...
Virginia Tech: then we will fight in the shade.
Immortals, we will put that name to the test

That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. By this time tomorrow, they'll know who we are.
