This is foolish. In 2002 we (i was in school at WKU at the time)and played in the D1-AA national title game, and won it. Please beleive that was the biggest game in school history. I am a die hard vol fan, but also love me tops aswell. Please dont think for a second that a game in the 2nd week of the seaosn beats winning a national championship.

I was referring to this season, not a game 11 years ago. I even gave some teams on the 2013 schedule to justify my point. Gheez

I think UT will win...but consider the following. I'm assuming their fan bases (favored) thought they'd win too.

2007 - Louisiana Monroe 21; Alabama - 14

2010 - Jacksonville State; 49 - Ole Miss - 48

2010 - James Madison - 21; Virginia Tech - 16

2010 - App State - 34; Michigan - 32

Like you, I could go on and on with these. I hope our O-line takes on a bulldozer mentality and we rush for 300+ yards.

Gotta rememeber, guys, Kentucky is terrible. In practice, reporters said the offense couldn't move the ball and the defense couldn't stop them.

If we let WK come in to Neyland Stadium and pull our pants down in front of 100,000 fans, ESPN will have the last laugh and the Vols will be on every replay again this year

But a win over a bonafide SEC team (other than KY) will help establish the program as bonafide and "rising to the next level"

My brother in law played for Furman a while back when they beat North Carolina in 1999. Those guys couldn't care less that North Carolina was pretty terrible at the time and at the bottom of the ACC. They kept saying they were 1-0 in the ACC. It was huge for those guys. I'm sure WKU is riding on a high right now. To beat two SEC teams in a row would be huge and they have to have some confidence.

Well, people are just pointing out that Western Kentucky may not be a cake walk. We know how Tennessee has played the past few years, and most people are a little shady to just assume we will have a blow out win.

If UT continues to play that way then is Jones the right coach? I mean if the expectation is that you will continue to play the same way... why waste the time and energy to change?
Most coaches, even Saban, don't make that huge of a difference the very first season.

Not true. It is more situational. Saban's first year at Bama compares better to Kiffin's year at UT. There was some talent but huge holes too. Discipline was a huge issue.

Saban's first year at LSU makes a better example though. Talented team with very poor coaching... went from 3-8 to 7-4 then won a bowl. Coaching made an immediate impact.

Hoke made an immediate impact at Michigan. Kelly made an immediate impact at ND. A 6-6 team became a 7-5 team and won a bowl... that's all I'm asking.

Sumlin made an immediate impact.

Freeze took an Ole Miss team that went 4-8 then 2-10 and improved to 7-6 including a bowl win.

Meyer took over a UF team that had lost 5 games in 3 consecutive seasons and won immediately.

Spurrier took over USCe and won one more than the year prior and two more than the previous two years. Marginal improvement? Yes. The right coach is worth another win over what the team would have won.


The only two examples I can think of where SEC coaches have had success without making an immediate impact large or small are Miles and Richt. IMHO, neither is an elite coach. They just have great home state recruiting that covers it up.

If he can't do it with a team possessing many talented Sr's then you really think he's going to do it with a team dependent on underclassmen on the OL, DL, WR, RB, LB?

We are Tennessee and they are Western Kentucky! They beat Kentucky who sux so please stop worrying! We win by 21 or more.

Such arrogance. You continually spout that just being Tennessee is all that is required to win ballgames. How has that worked recently?
I predict UT wins by 14, not because one school is named UT and the other is WKU, but because UT is a better team.
However, the gap is not nearly as large at this point as some UT fans believe.

I hope you aren't betting serious money on that point spread.

He may not be a God as you say but he's damn good offensive coach who will find a way to put points on the board against us despite the talent disparity.

WKU will get lots of yards but unless they take it to the house on some big plays I don't think they score a lot of point. They can't run it well enough against our front 7 to score in the red zone.
