I'm having flashbacks to back when you couldn't spell "Citrus Bowl" without U-T.

Now it's you can't spell "Music City Bowl" without U-T.

Slow down there partner. They play Georgia before us, and I have full faith that Georgia with all their players no longer suspended will be much better.


Yea I know...just saying. It has been awhile since that game has actually meant something

Vols aren't good enough. Good enough is competing for national titles.

The gators are bad enough to lose this game though.

Thread should be "Do the Gators now suck bad enough for UT to finally beat the Gators?"
Answer- Maybe

The best player on the team and only hope for a good season went down on the first offensive play of the game.

Justin Hunter's ACL exploded on our first play, and you had Demps and a less of a quarterback question. We have improved alot since the last time we played.

as putrid as their offense is supposed to be we should. but then again our D is better but still questionable, who knows if our running game can hang against their defense, and our offense has shown big play ability but are we smart enough to be able to march it down the field against an SEC D.

Simply, we should but there are a lot of unknowns

No.

Are the Gators in a down year again and beatable if UT has an outstanding performance. Maybe.

There have been several times that Tennessee was "good enough" to beat UF, only to poop the bed. UF just happens to be THAT TEAM that UT can't shake. UT really doesn't have any excuse for losing this game, but I've been let down before.

Can I wait until Saturday evening to give an opinion?

I have no idea whether or not we are going to have any form of an offense right now.

UT looks to have a great WR in CP. I'm just glad he's a one and done player. Your passing game based on last week should concern everyone you play. I don't think the running game is all that improved but again, how the hell would I know based on one damn game?

Later my Vol friend, later.

FWIW, you are bound to win one at some point. I don't think it would be too shocking if it's this year or the next, or the next, or the next...

At first, I was like, he'll drop it. And then I was like, go boy go. I don't care for NCSU.

I lost my HS GF to one of those frickers.

How the hell did ZR get so far behind that DB anyway?
