I’m just advocating patience guys. 4 or 5 years and we’ll be competing again.

While I agree somewhat I dont think it will take that long.. 2-3 years is more what I am thinking given the talent he can hopefully pull to UT. I do think we win Saturday tho..

Florida is not very good but we are worse. Their DL is better than our OL which determines most games. Their offense may not score much, but their special teams will likely make big plays on us.

We won’t lose because of the name on their helmet or our history with them since division play began. We will lose because we aren’t very good at football right now.

Put on your Big Orange Cup and get ready for a kick to the junk. Of course, please bump this if we win.

You're a loser, get lost and don't find your way back. What would CJP say to you, I dare you to think of it. I'd kick you out of my foxhole, for sure.

No idea which team wins. However, it just seems that Pruitt and Helton were limiting play calling last week in the El Paso game. Lots of old fashion football. RRPP style. Hope we open it up with some new stuff and teach the Gators and our fans and all of college football a new style. But, unless we do better on both lines and the young d-backs get better in a hurry, it could be a long game. By the way the old fashion football I watched a long time ago is run, run, pass, punt (RRPP). It gets old in a hurry. Just sayin' - Fox

So you're going to skip watching the game on Saturday then, right?

GTFO with this defeatist attitude. I'd rather be optimistic and disappointed than pessimistic and brag about being right.

There's realism and then there's just cowardly hedging. "At least if we lose I'll have the consolation prize of being able to stick it to VN." This is the latter. When "Tennessee fans" are talking up Florida and disparaging Tennessee more than the Florida fans on here, anyone can see what they are doing.

Oh hush. Your negativeness is awful. It's one thing to be a realist and another to be a downer.

You are a downer. I guess we shouldnt be excited for any game this year..... I guess we shouldn't cheer our guys on.... We should just expect to lose every single game we play.

Give me a break already. Your sad tune is annoying.

I hope every VOL fan expects us to win and I hope every VOL fan is cheering for us to win. The way it should be, the way any self respecting fan should be. It doesn't matter the competition you should always as a fan be cheering for your team and expecting them to win.

Now sit down and shut up. Thanks.

I really don't understand why some of y'all bother to follow Tennessee football. You should spend your time doing something you enjoy. Life is short. Don't waste it.

Lol. Well said vollygirl.

There is so much we don't know about both teams. I'm not sure how anybody can make a prediction. We looked bad against WV; they looked worse against KY. Other than that, neither of us have played anybody of consequence. We both have new coaches. We both have young, inexperienced QBs. Honestly, I'm not sure how Vegas came up with a 6 point line for this game. That's essentially a 9 point swing since it's a home game for us.

I like our coach. I like our staff. I think we're finally headed in the right direction.

Buckle up, hold tight, and support your team. If you're in the stadium Saturday, yell like crazy and make your voice heard.

Being negative is proven to be unhealthy.

This is a really even match-up. We have just as big a chance at winning as Florida does since both programs are rebuilding. However, OL must start with more energy than the previous games and not give up big plays to their DL.
