Big game tomorrow. It's aight game at Neyland, we have the revenge factor and we're rolling out the dark mode uniforms. If we get past South Carolina, we'll have a week off to heal and work before Texas A&M comes to town.

If you're going to the game or watching from home, let us know what your plans are and, of course, what's on the food menu.

If you haven't checked out the visitor list for this game, there are a TON of prospects visiting for this one.

If you missed it yesterday, Tennessee got a big commit from a Top 100 player in 4-star combo guard Bishop Boswell. Solid pick up for the Vols.

Anyone looking forward to any other college games this weekend? Here are a few (mostly SEC) games that caught my eye…

#8 USC at Colorado -- noon
#22 Florida at Kentucky -- noon
Texas A&M at Arkansas -- noon
#1 Georgia at Auburn -- 3:30
#13 LSU at #20 Ole Miss --6:00

Anybody catching a high school game tonight? I know Tennessee commit Boo Carter and Bradley Central travel out to West Knoxville to face Farragut.

As for NFL games this weekend, I'll be watching to see how Josh Dobbs does this week after getting his first career victory last week against Dallas. It's a tall task though, as the Cardinals travel to play the 49'ers where they are a 14-point underdog. Regardless, it will be fun to watch Dobbs.

Feel free to post whatever is on your mind heading into the weekend. Go Vols!

P.S. Dont' forget to enter the pick the score contest for the South Carolina and remember to get your weekly picks in for the season contest.

Going to a rugby match tomorrow afternoon, but will be keeping up with scores throughout the day. Going to come home and have a nice dinner before settling in to cheer on the Vols.

Men's club rugby in the Georgia Union. High Country, a team out of Atlanta, will be traveling to play the Augusta Rugby Club. Augusta is the club I played for ever since I moved from Knoxville in '84.

Drove over to Murfreesboro this morning to speak to one of my PhD friends about how to get neuropathy from the neck up if we lose Saturday. Then over to the gym for a little workout and follow that up with playing with the dogs at the lake a little bit later. Pizza and beer tonight. Steak and more steak tomorrow. Eggs too.

Go! Big Damn! Orange!

(So far I’ve only wished pain and agony on Shane Beamer twice today.)

The Texas A&M game is a must win for Arkansas and the Georgia-Auburn tilt is always a dog fight.

It's basically a combination of football and soccer. You can kick the ball at anytime, or you can choose to run until tackled. You usually kick the ball though just to gain real estate, i.e., to get the opposing team out of your half of the pitch. However, a well placed kick can also be a valuable offensive weapon as you can run down the ball, catch it in the air or pick it up, and keep on running.
