Cal is a big game because its a statement game saying closure is here last year is dead...the Orange is back. But we have to beat florida to set the tone for the season....we win this game and the momentumn will carry us thru the road game at Georgia...we get that far undefeated and LSU starts sweatin.....

I'm sure if you actually watched some college football you wouldn't make such an absurd comment. I have Cal dethroning USC and winning the PAC-10 this year. I think they are the best team on our schedule and if not they are easily top 3 with Florida and LSU.

If you actually watched college football, you would have seen the team you are shilling for lose to Oregon State and struggle mightily with a mediocre BYU team in the Las Vegas Bowl. I love when everybody jumps on the trendy team in an attempt to look smart. It always just turns out to be further evidence in support of my theory about the general public. For example, I would love for someone to find the UGA-Boise State prediction threads from this time last year. All who picked Boise State should be held accountable.

Hahah yes! I remember some friends of mine calling for the Boise St upset.

I think we will beat Cal, and I think Cal's true talent is somewhere between hat's opinion and chattown's.

Cal. They're wildly overrated. We play at least 5 teams I think are as good or better than they are. If you can't beat them, it's going to be a long season.

I agree, if TN can't beat Cal, it could get ugly, likewise with ND, if we don't beat GT the first game we're screwed.

You have officially got the most schitzo team in college football scheduled for your opener. On any given day GT can lose to Wake Forest or beat a top 10 team.

UK. Why??? Just think about how bad of a year it would have to be for that game to be lost.

If we taking it a game at a time then why are we talking about Florida or UGA. We should only be talking about Cal. My point is they are all must wins. This is a mind set and as Cut put in his video, "Make a statement". You totally missed the point.

I think South Carolina is the must win game of the year. ..Why you might ask?

Well arguably Ga and Fla have passed UT (at the moment) as the superior teams of the SEC East. If SC starts beating us on a regular basis we'll be known as 4th best in the East. No freakin way we should let that happen. We just can't let our program get under Spurrier's thumb again.

I think its a combo of Memphis and Marshall. If you lose to one of them, Fulmer is out. If you lose to both of them, the administration might disband the entire athletic program.

I hope we beat the UGA Bulldogs this year.My neighbors are UGA grads and it makes for a long season when we lose to the Freakin UGA Bulldogs! I wanna hold my head up high again!:banghead:

I think the must win game is California. If we don't win that one, we start off with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peeling.

If the Vols play to their ability, this could be a banner season. :gun: :gun: :gun:

Haha, it's okay. Hopefully I can post enough smilies in my posts so we get to the point where when I say something pretty dumb with a smiley, it will be known to all that I'm trying to be really really really silly.

cal- it sets the tone for our season.

if we lose, we will be just trying to beat florida to get ranked. if we get a good win agaisnt cal, our season will be much better from the start and i think we would do better.

Can't believe how many people are picking Cal as the must win game. The odds of UT winning a NC this year are extremely low, thus this game really does not have that much impact.

I do consider a SEC title a legitimate goal and thus will go with the SEC opener, Florida.

So beating a ranked opponent at home in the season opener a year after 5-6 with a measurable percentage of the fan base wanting the head coach replaced is not important? If UT cannot beat Cal then they cannot beat UF or LSU and probably will not be good enough to beat UGA depending on what kind of QB play the Dawgs get. Beating Cal is critical to restoring the Vols' swagger. Do you really believe that the team that wins the SEC Championship this year will not be good enough to beat #2 or 3 in the PAC10?

<----------supports this post. I mean, come on, it&#39;s not like we&#39;re saying the others don&#39;t matter, it&#39;s just that the Cal game is first and after what happened last year, we NEED a good start against a good oppent.

did not say it wasn&#39;t important, but I my aim is on an SEC championship, and this game has no direct impact on the outcome of the SEC.

Also, you say if we can&#39;t be Cal then we are not capable of winning the SEC is not good logic. Georgia was good enough to win the SEC and could not beat West Virginia. Florida, UGA, UA, LSU are all much more important that Cal. That is not claiming I am happy with a loss to Cal.
