I have said for weeks poor weather would be Kentucky best chance if the cold rain mucks up the game. Conventional wisdom tells you if raining a sound running game is an advantage. However with our super fast offense dbs make mistakes from getting out of place. I imagine in a pouring rain they will still make those same mistakes and have less tolerance for a cutting zigging and sagging wide receiver over and over and over. It only takes a couple mistakes and its 6. Also Typically wet balls you dont want the passing game as much as running. However hanging onto the ball in traffic is difficult with a wet ball. However Heupel draws up repeatedly wide open receivers which limits the drops that slip into the defenders hands.

All of that yet I still would prefer good weather more for fans sakes at Neyland than the players. The players will be fine either way although a night game in rain will be cold. The fans need to have Neyland at capacity and Loud and sometimes a rainy day scares off a few thousand.

You may not want to go the game Saturday, 😆 just kidding. I’ve never see us lose to KY in person and attended many games since 1992. The craziest one was 2007. I was in Lexington and thingy for sure the game was over but their kicker missed a field goal. I can’t recall if TN blocked it but TN won in overtime (can’t recall how many). Of course I saw us lose to LSU in SEC title game. Also I was in Atlanta in 2001 Vs LSU. My son was four in 2007 but he got to witness the TN beat down @ LSU. He is a sophomore so happy he and other students are witnessing the best TN football team in their lifetimes.
I just hope the ride continues and we are able to run the table. It’s a difficult journey but it sure would be nice. I truly think the university and fans deserve it. Every school has rabid fans, including Nebraska, FL State, Miami, UGA, FL, Bama, etc. But we’ve been through so much and haven’t done “Jack” since 2001. Yet the TN fan base supports every sport as we love our Vols and hungry for success. Look at our baseball program and the sellouts. Hoover was incredible.

I truly believe the TN faithful would attend a curling match if we had a team and were in the championship. 😝

Go Vols!

I was there as well right behind the Tennessee bench and surrounded by blue. I remember they were already getting ready to storm the field until we blocked Sieber’s kick. I was thinking that I was going to get mobbed for sure. Crazy game.

Yep. I ended up walking down the bleachers as we wanted to escape the chaos. I ended up watching the end of the game w Munos.

Nice guy and VFL. He would’ve been in the MFL if He hadn’t come back for sr yr.
