Yes, but look at that whole year. Either way, it was a win. It was an anomaly.

You're right, we usually do play a pretty good first game. 2004 against UNLV was really exciting. I know it wasn't the strongest opponent ever, but it was great to see the freshmen QBs show so much promise.

Usually though, our opponents in the first game aren't exactly special. I still think the UF game should be switched with the Vandy or UK game.

Agreed. If we played the UF-UT game in December (like in 2001) every year, it could turn into the SEC's version of OSU-Michigan.

I don't think there is any doubt the teams get better as the year goes on. The game is best played at the end of the year. The 2001 game was phenomenal. Granted, there are always great games, but late in the year, we don't have to worry about negative 11 yards rushing, because there is no way that would have happened.

I don't know about that. I don't really think the result would have been much better. We didn't exactly rip UK's pathetic defense to shreds.

And what makes you think he will be wrong this time around? Cal certainly didn't prove anything more than the fact they are overrated last year. What warrants any fear from us this year?

Wait...let me guess. You guys planned to let us kill you guys last year so that we would come in overconfident this year and you would show your real game. Ahhh, it's all coming to me now.

hatvol has said it will be "worse than last year." Vol fans expecting THAT can only be disapointed. Edit: i don't expect respect from vol fans. . . trust me.

You're right, UT will probably only score 21 unanswered points.

Truthfully, I don't expect a blowout, but at least a 10 point victory for UT

You must admit there is a HUGE difference between worse than last year and a 10 point victory. I wouldn't expect you to think Cal will beat you.

I distinctly remember you saying that. Is that not your prediction? I could be high i suppose, it could have been someone else I guess.

Tennessee will win handily. However, I never predicted we would begin this year's game with a 42-0 outburst.
