[hatvol96]

Looks like they've chosen to go with UT-Cal and Arkansas-USC on September 2.

Do you have a link for that?

The LA Daily News reported the news on the Arkansas game. The VolNation home page has the UT announcement.

The Razorbacks host the Trojans on Sept. 2 in a rematch of last year's game at USC, which Arkansas lost 70-17. ESPN will televise the game.

The Arkansas-USC game will be the second half of an SEC-Pac 10 doubleheader on ESPN. California plays at Tennessee beforehand.

Every game is important, and in terms of national recruiting and buzz, yes.

I think that Cal will suprise UT and pull the upset. What do yall think the lines on the games will be. SC will pound the razorbacks. I can't wait for October when Bama puts a whippin' on the orange in Neyland.

Yeah, given how you crushed us last year with Croyle, Ryans, and Harper, I can only imagine the beating you'll give us without them.

An upset? Cal will be a Top 10 team and Tennessee will be lucky to be ranked. How exactly is Cal winning an upset?

As for Bama....PUH LEASE. You lost your cousin loving quarterback, which was your whole offense.....all six points of your offense, and you lost your heart and soul on Defense. Bama will be lucky to win 8 games.

 

[Tigerfan23]

Well I'm almost certain that UT will be favored.

 

[Tigerfan23]

You say we'll be lucky to win 8 but one will be vs. the vols and it will still be more than UT's impressive 5 last year after being #3 preseason

 

[VolinArizona]

UT will not be favored. No way no how.

 

[Lexvol]

I'm guessing the opening line will be Cal by 10. It may shrink but it probably won't get any larger.

There's no way it will be that high. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the game as a pick or UT as a small favorite.

 

[Vol423]

I think that Cal will suprise UT and pull the upset.

That wouldn't be considered an upset since Cal is ranked much higher in almost every poll than UT is.

 

[Vol423]

There's no way it will be that high. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the game as a pick or UT as a small favorite.

I'll guess that Cal will be favored by 3. I agree that there's no way that Cal will be favored by as much as 10 on the road, but I don't think UT will be favored either.

With so many question marks about UTs front seven (not everyone in the media thinks it is a given that Chavis will have these guys ready to play), and with the uncertainity of Ainge's play I still think the line could be higher.

Cal is going to throw the ball at least 50 times if not 60. I could be wrong, but I still think the opening line will be high.

If the opening line is Cal -10, the books won't be able to write tickets on UT fast enough. The gambling public will flood them with money on the Vols.

I smell a huge payday for the casinos....

Welcome to board smart guy, but you may want to avoid that topic given your illustrious 3-8 campaign in 2000 after starting #3. You're probably too young to remember.
