What if one point underdog UCF beats the Gators 🐊 this Saturday in Gainesville?
Could they come to Knoxville with an interim coach?

Possibly. But here's what I do know. When the interim comes he will resemble a combination of Tom Landry, Bill Belicheck, and Nick Saban. Of course the quarterback may be a little late, but he should get a launch toward his Heisman campaign, and the defense will resemble the 85 Bears on steroids. Florida week here we come!

Has anyone seen the game time for UF yet? Looking at the TV schedule they have OK v TX in the afternoon. Since Ole Miss lost this week I assume they would put our game at night rather than compete with the red River game.

It's kind of exciting to think about a UT/UF game being at night and not in the afternoon and being the first SEC home night game of the year!

No, I liked the 3.30 games because you could drive to Kville and get back home instead of spending the night

The word is there is simply no one capable of taking on the interim on the staff right now. It's way early in the season, and you've got recruiting going on at the same time. Having an interim try to recruit means you'll lose a lot. I"ve never seen an interim coach more than one or two games.

I wouldn't mind a 3:30 game to be honest, but I won't mind a 7:00 PM for this one either.

These 7:45 kickoffs are annoying though.

Yup, not getting into bed until midnight or later week after week is no fun. Plus, you are awake 12 plus hours just waiting for the kickoff. 3:30 kickoffs are nice

Kentucky says the same thing about us on a yearly basis.

Asked this in another thread - anyone know the record on number of prime time games the Vols have played in a season?

Already played - NCSt, Kent St, OU
Currently scheduled - Arky, UK, Florida, MsSt
In Flex (highly likely ) - UGA, Bama

If both UGA and Bama flex to prime time, that's 9 of 12 at night...has to some kind of record.
BTW - it will also mean that UT doesn't play a 3:30 game this season either. I can't recall that happening since CBS got the broadcast rights either...

I have been stung by disappointment too often to take any SEC game for granted.
That 2022 USCJr game gave me PTSD.

I can count on one hand holding a cig how many times we have lost to Kentucky at home in the past 40 years. Not gonna happen. Mark Stoops cannot coach well against heupel. Dude loses his mind for some reason.

For many of us out of towners, the 3:30 works best for travel.

I am 88% certain that you are correct. I however will be unable to rest on any game until the clock reaches 0:00 at the end of the game.
Saban was not my favorite coach by any stretch; but he was 💯 correct every time he talked about “rat poison”

Heh, if it weren't so true and real, the Florida curse and attending BVS would be super humorous.

I mean, we're hillbillies. We're not cajuns. We don't normally believe in voodoo and curses and all that such. We believe in moonshine and what you can see with your own eyes (when you're not blind drunk).

But here we are, buying it all. The whole thing. From Rohan Davies' mom at LSU (what's that have to do with Florida? Who knows? This stuff ain't gotta make a lot of sense), to Tebow jump-passes, to ducks pulling trucks (what's Oregon have to do with Florida-Tennessee? Who knows? Just roll with it), there's a LOT to absorb in this one.

And here we almost are again (gotta blow through Arkansas, first).

But you know what? Curse is over. Rohan's mom went somewhere else. The ducks have their own trucks to pull.

We beat Florida the last time they were in Neyland. And we'll beat them again a week from Saturday. We'll do that cartoon thing where we grab the gator by its tail, and proceed to slam it into the ground, first to the left, then to the right, then back to the left again.

Because this is how streaks reverse themselves. First the underdog beats the other team for the first time in a while (like we did two years ago), almost always at home, then a year or three later he beats them again, more convincingly, and then it becomes a little more regular, beating them at home, though away games are still tough. The losing streak is over, it's more like splitting the series even, one for one. Eventually, everyone figures out the jinx has worn off, and we win our first one at their place. Then things start rolling downhill, and before you know it, we have a winning streak of our own.

Maybe not a forever streak. They'll win from time to time. But the curse will be over, and we'll win a lot more than we lose.

That's where this series is headed. Unfortunately, it's coming at just the time when we're about to stop playing them every season. Will instead be 2 out of every 4. Will take twice as long to even the score at that rate.

What the hell. Josh is only 46. We have time.

Go Vols!

I will be in Knoxville for the game and in my opinion the checker neyland looks better at the 3:30 kick but I guess well just have to settle for the night checker!

If they win both the next 2 games it will be prime time again vs Bama since Georgia lost.

Thats crazy bro.......that'd be 4 out of 7 primetime, Nationally televised games.....that HAS TO help with recruiting. Surely we're getting visits with guys who we may not have had a chance with previous.
