UT Fans - How're you feeling about Saturday?

This game's a toss-up, IMO. I'm just curious how Vol fans are feeling about this game and its implications going forward.
Do you think your team will come out flat after so many near misses, or does Butch rally the troops?
What about the fans - does the sentiment around here reflect Volnation, by and large?
I think a lot of Dawg fans (myself included) are worried about a hangover from last week and we all know UT is only a few yards away from being undefeated against some quality competition. It's gonna be a slugfest.

Apathetic- we're in the "same shite/different year" stage. No outcome would really shock me, though. If it's a close game, it definitely goes to Georgia since we're excellent folders.

Idk.
In '13 we had aaron frickin murray leading us plus a lot of other guys who stepped up.
Lambert is no murray. We have some senior guys like Mitchell and Theus that can give a speech to everyone, but if the game gets super close ultimately it's gonna be on lambert's shoulders and that's scary.

Just go ahead and put Butch out of his misery.

Not a Tennessee fan, but I feel like Tennessee SHOULD be able to win.
I also felt that way for Tennessee's games against Oklahoma, Florida and Arkansas, so I'll be going with Georgia in Pick Em.

One of two things will happen.
1. Georgia comes out flat after the Alabama beat down and VOLS come out clicking on all cylinders. Tennessee takes a 24-10 into halftime. It's slowly slips away in the 4th and UGA wins by a touchdown or less.
2. (The more likely scenario imo) Georgia comes out pissed off and Tennessee folds like a cheap tent. Georgia wins by 17+

This, but I get on a plane for vacation Saturday and I am excited about that.

Here is honestly how I feel.
I think like always the fans will show up and have the teams back at the beginning of the game. I am sure Neyland will be a tough environment Saturday.
I do think the fans will be ready to turn on the team at a moments notice though which is a bit unfortunate when you are playing a high quality team like UGA.
I do think the team will come out and play tough in this game too. I think the offense will actually have a better day than they had last week and execute better.
My issue is I really think our defense is pretty bad right now and I think we just allow too many big plays to Chubb, Michel and Malcomb Mitchell.
I say it is a really close game but UGA pulls ahead in the 4th and wins by 7.
Similar to last years game.

My read is that Vol fans are now just crushed, still have some loyal to the program types, but they really have the defeatist attitude now and most expect to lose to UGA.
UGA fans were shocked and dismayed at the Bama beatdown, but a few days later realize they still an win the east and are pretty sure they can beat UT.
That's why I'm pretty sure UT wins.

I think UGA wins by about 20.

Just doesn't feel like a good matchup for UT after watching the Arky game last week. Collins is a good back but Chubb & Michel are both better and GAs offensive line top to bottom is superior to Arkansas. UT is going to have to get something going in the passing game to loosen up the GA D & have not appeared capable of that thus far.
Saw a stat this morning that of all qualifying QBs in FBS this season Dobbs is tied for the fewest number of completions overs 20 yards. Going to have to hit a few longer than that to win this game IMO.

He's just not a good QB. We were sold on the idea that he was but he's just not. Probably going to be a heck of a NASA nerd though.

What you did there. I see it. Replace that "at least" with "at best". To convince yourself that you guys have a remote chance of beating Bama just seems like you've got some really good drugs.

You played one good team and got absolutely destroyed.
