The first Surrender Cobra of the season appeared last night in Knoxville.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? They were still embarrassed. I'd expect them to play angry. But Butch is a bad coach so I don't know if he can harness that anger
This isn't an orange game right? Packing now want to make sure I bring right shirt.
Oh Kansas.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? Hopefully this means they are more like 2015 Auburn and actually are as bad as they played (Jacksonville State terrible OT win) and not like 2015 WSU who were actually a good team despite losing to FCS

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? That game last night also showed that you don't win just by showing up, regardless of your ranking. We have our own issues to resolve, and I just hope we're not caught looking at Bristol when we should be TCofB with Liberty. My initial reaction is not fear, but a little trepidation hoping that we don't get that "entitlement" attitude and end up in a close game ourselves tomorrow. Still and all, there were reasons enough from that game last night to have a bit more hope for Bristol.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? The only thing that I feel is different about the game is that I'm hoping their fans have had their ego deflated a little bit. Lots of first half surrender cobras on TV, so I hope they are brought back down to Earth. Then I remember that with UT fans, that's not a possibility and most of them will just come up with an excuse rather than look at the fact that they won because the opposing kicker missed a PAT.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? Yes. No doubt about it. Cautious/optimistic fans say they were very vanilla. But playing vanilla doesn't mean losing 13-3 going into the half. It wasn't like they turned on a switch at any point. Honestly, if they didn't play NCAA overtime rules (starting on opponent 25) and went to NFL overtime rules (normal play play with KO) Tenn would of been 0-1. App State moved the ball, Tenn couldn't keep a drive going. Besides one big pass play App State was the better team last night. Going into our game, as long as we don't try to be to flashy and players stick to their lanes I am way more confident now. App State was a good team, as mentioned very "Senior" but our talent pool is better and hopefully Fuentes has them coached well enough to run smooth quick plays.
Mandel is a self important blowhard and one of the most pompous writers in CFB.
But he knows his stuff and can be straight savage. I'm still willing to read him

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? I didn't watch the game last night, but a game like that usually results in one of two things. It either exposes the team as being overrated, or it pisses off a good team that goes out to prove it was a fluke. I'm hoping for the former, concerned it may be the latter.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? Agreed. While watching, I began to think back to a dream I had years ago where we actually lost to JMU, haha as if, amiright? But then after that loss we got strapped in and ran the table from there. Hopefully that won't be the case here.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? I was expecting a lot more from UT. However, I expected a close game then and still believe it will be a close, hard fought game. UT is not #9, but are still a difficult team to beat. Reeves-Maybin will be back. His suspension happened so early, I do not think he will miss any time from the Bristol game. There is still concern for the fan split at the game. Hokies will be heavily outnumbered, but I do believe we will be louder. For now though, #BeatLiberty.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines while watching the game. Likewise, if we win big against Liberty, I hope the team doesn't get over confident.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? Nothing has changed, especially since we haven't seen Tech play yet.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? I'm actually glad App didn't win because then Tennessee would be pissed off next week, and that would not be good for us.
My joke went over so well..

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? I was actually hoping Tenn would whoop up on App State and sleepwalk into Bristol. I think our chances of beating them were actually better before this scare at home vs App State. Now I think Tenn is going to go through an absolute hell week in practice and come to Bristol fired up and pissed off and determined to make a statement. I feel less confident now than I did.

# | Did Tennessee-Appalachian State Change Your Outlook of the Battle at Bristol? Honestly, I think the App State game hurt us more than helped us. I kinda got the feeling we were being overlooked a bit and they might be sleeping on us. Ain't nobody asleep when you're in the top ten, and you almost give away a game to App State.
Aha, so next time I see that rig I'll know to stop by. Never knew that was a TKP'er.
I recall reading your posts on TKP over the loss of your son. To post all that requires great strength.
I will remember your son this weekend and especially at Bristol. Go Hokies.
Agree 100%. I live in TN - SEC and UT country. And trust me, UT's fan base has been completely overlooking their first 3 games....looking ahead to Florida. I believe this is likely true of the team also.
I believe last night wakes them up and we get their A game next week. Hopefully we bring ours.
