Prediction

83,000. What I want to know is how Kentucky managed to go from 5,000 people last year to 50,000. If you're going to lie, at least make it believable.

They made cardboard cutouts and placed around the stadium.5,000 people make 10 cutouts a piece. Boom the place is packed.

Hart: "more than 200 recruits and more than 500 former football players are on campus this weekend.”

This game is stupid. Let's do some real predicting!

Worley throws for 721 yards and rushes for another 34. Palardy hits a 58 yarder right before halftime. Neal rushes for 345. Pig returns a kick 126 yards for a touchdown. I have a hangover in the morning.

How many fans will show up for O&W game?

I say 76,000

A better question will be how serious does CBJ take the spring game? Some coaches treat it like A practice others make roster discesions based on it. Does anybody know how he did it up in Cincy?

My initial gut level guess was 35-40,000. The KNS, however, just posted the following information regarding top 5 turnouts for previous Orange & White games:

"Breaking the attendance record of 73,801 set in 1986 may be a long shot, but a strong showing by fans could easily push the crowd into the top five. The second-most fans to see a UT spring game was 51,488 in 2009, Lane Kiffin’s first season. The No. 3 crowd was Derek Dooley’s debut in 2010 (35,891). The 2012 game (34,421) and the 1988 game (31,500) round out the top five" ( Butch Jones and staff ready to show off skills at Orange and White Game » GoVolsXtra).

Eclipsing the turnout for Kiffin's only Orange & White game would be a good sign in terms of just how much Butch has energized the Big Orange Nation.

Incidentally, here is a little tidbit of information for those of you too young to remember the '86 spring game: "When the Orange and White Game kicked off at 7 p.m., Tennessee had an NCAA-record crowd of 73,801 on hand. A representative from the Guinness World Records was even there to confirm what was the largest crowd ever to attend a spring game" (John Adams: New coach, recruits big draws for spring game » GoVolsXtra).
