9-3 Jinx?

[BeltwayVol]

Tennessee, meanwhile, enters Saturday ranked No. 3 in the country in both major polls. Oddly enough, the Vols are looking for the first win in school history on the third day of next month.

In three previous Sept. 3 playing dates, the Vols lost 13-3 to Pittsburgh to open the 1983 season, fell 28-17 at Georgia to begin 1988 and dropped a 25-23 decision at UCLA at the start of the 1994 campaign.

Worried?

Call it History, Im not worried.

 

[OWB]

Nope...

 

[milohimself]

No.

We will be 1-3 in the last 4 on 9/3 games.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Not at all. Pitt was a better team that year, 88 was the season from hell, and we lost our #1 QB against UCLA in 94. This is gonna be a great season. The countdown is on. Three days, 5 and one half hours. IT"S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!

Its UAB...theyre a decent team...but their one of those small hyphenated football teams.

If we were playing UCLA, GA, or Pitt I might be a little more concerned than I am now.

I don't believe in jinxes. I believe in blocking and tackling and we have the better blockers and tacklers.

Vols 38-10 in a cake walk where everyone plays.

Jim Bob Cooter will be under center at the end. :biggrin2:

Tennessee has never won on Sept. 3 but if you want a good omen then UT has never finished lower than 4th in the final rankings in a year which the baseball team went to the world series.

That's history...Some say history repeats itself...I say its coincidence....We win big this weekend! GO VOLS!!!!

I have a black cat, I break mirrors on occassion, walk under ladders all the time, open my umbrella in the house, saw my wife before our wedding (still married after 17yrs&#33 so will we be jinxed? I highly doubt it!

 

[Jmxvol]

I'm not worrying about what I can't control. But we are gonna kick some ass, so don't sweat.
