WKU has a better coach and Holt is a better DC. They have just as much NFL talent on defense and Willie Taggart left Petrino a solid team.

They just beat UK, we beat air. They will blitz the hell out of Worley, so I believe this will be a very tough game for us but one we should win.

UHHH....not saying you cant make an arguement for WKU beating us but I think every point you made is easy to debunk...They beat a UK team on a neutral field that WE beat the pants off of last year...so I wouldnt hang onto that one...how bout that they offer up a high tempo offense that will probably score some points??? That's the only sure thing we know..beyond that your points are not very valid...

Todd Furman, very respected Vegas line maker just predicted that WKU reads and believes their press clippings this weekend and UT "takes em out back and wins going away by 21 pts".

I'm with ya man but I just want to say I watched WKU game Saturday and they weren't really high uptempo at all there was often 10 or less on the play clock when they snapped the ball.

Petrino isn't a better coach than CBJ. He has serious character issues and sucks at recruiting. He's a mercenary with no loyalty to any program.

He might have a slight edge on play calling, but he loses in every other category and it isn't even close.

Does anybody realize how bad KY really is.....Defensively they had no solution and look at KY's stats on Offense....they do not have the players.......Is WKU a pretender or contender.......pretender....It is not a gauge as to how this game is going to go...

We are at home, definite advantage in the trenches both sides of the ball.....Momentum and enthusiam....not looking ahead....CBJ and staff > Pedro and staff.....

Confident there will be an answer by CBJ...we will score 40+ points on this team and will hold them in the teens.....my best guess will be 41 -14.

Until UT starts winning these games and escapes years of mediocrity, we will continue to be a laughing stock and be picked for these "upset" specials. Instead of being butthurt about it, ignore it and hope for a win, as it is the only way the perceived lack of respect from the media/other fans will go away.

Who gives a rat's rear end what some talking head predicts? I refuse to get all huffy about this, because this guy is grading the Vols on the past 3 or 4 years. Don't think Butch or the team is bothered with it. Just gives them more motivation to go out and prove themselves.

Exactly
I kinda like everyone writing us off and counting us out.

Mark Schlabach's Upset Pick: Week 2 - ESPN Video - ESPN

I didn't watch the video, as i am at work, but the subject of Mark Schlabauch's upset pick of the week is WKU vs Tennessee.

If he doesn't say they will beat us i apologize. Just though I would share.

I personally think we will beat the hilltoppers soundly. Ill even make a score prediction for ya: 38 - 17 Vols.

Don't shoot the messanger, but even if you do, I dont care.

Simply put, I believe

Petrino is a better football coach (asshat yes) than Butch
Holt is a better DC than Jancek
They have just as much NFL talent on their defense as we do
Willlie Taggart left WKU in good shape as a program
They beat UK
We beat APSU
They will blitz Worley early and often as will every other team we face
It will be a tough game
WE SHOULD WIN

Could care less about his personal issues because he is not at UT. He's a better coach period. He's 76-25 overall, his teams have been ranked 5th in the nation twice and he has coached in the Sugar, Orange and Cotton bowl.

Nothing personal against Jones, just fact.

Seriously. Character issues aside is it really even debatable that Petrino is the more proven and better head coach at this point? He wasn't the right guy for Tennessee, but come on.

Fair enough...but to think he has the talent level that he's previously had is absurd.

I seriously would not be surprised if we lose to WKU. Bobby Petrino defintely knows how to get through the Tennessee D. Not to mention that we have 3 freshmen getting considerable playing time in the secondary (Sutton, Foreman, Swafford). WKU also has some NFL talent on defense. Yes, they torched Kentucky. We do have a better Defense than Kentucky, but it shouldn't be something that Butch Jones looks over. I love the Vols, but this game will be closer than past meetings. I think Tennessee will pull it out, but not easily.

Don't think CBJ is looking over this one.

I believe this because the players have been hearing about wku from the coaches since pre-season camp.

Over looking this team won't be the reason we lose, IF, we lose. Which I don't think we will.
Go Vols!

Of course he doesn't, but he's still a great offensive mind.

That Arkansas team didn't look too talented after he left.
