Lack of vols in Gainesville

[rocky top buzz]

I think the turnout would have been low even if UT did beat Oregon. The Oregon trip is once in a generation whereas Floriduh is every other year. Both are expensive and long trips from here with 2-3 hotel nights and possibly airfare. Even if Tennessee goes 12-0, money is still money for many of us.

My church going, good hearted parents went and were spit on, had drinks thrown on them and were cussed at. That is why we don't have any desire to go there.

With old fashioned college spirit, some of us need to find a way to get into the Swamp over the fence. Living in Florida, I very much want to support the Vols when they play down here, but I DO NOT want to fork over good money to the Florida Gators. Were I younger with my college buds, we would surely contrive means to wreak havoc and misery.

Anyone know of a good safe place to park? These horror stories of gator fans keying cars had me worried. It's sickening seeing all this orange and blue.

Take your TN paraphernalia off the car..license plate and all.

this happened last year with florida as well. ticket sales in general aren't as strong as normal.

however, last year, a lot of florida folks chose to go to texas a&m since it was the first time playing them and did not turn right around and head to knoxville the next week.

same thing this year for tennessee. it was a strong showing in oregon and people aren't going to turn around and go to another road game the next week.

this is one of the reasons why i think a playoff system using the bowls won't work.

Don't worry. That reality is going to hit them square in the face in a year. Just glad someone else realizes it.

When I was tailgating with my pledge brothers from 20-something years back a few weekends ago I didn't count too many rednecks. Lots of lawyers, engineers, business owners, a couple of docs. and a college professor. I didn't poll for Klan membership but I'm guessing it's a zero participation rate.

haters gonna hate
